Charles Campbell of Wall Street, New York, a lifelong member of the Beaverkill Trout Club, is the person from whom this fly got its name. Campbell was an old friend and customer of Reuben Cross. The Campbell's Fancy at one time was rated high on the Beaverkill for about two weeks around the first part of May, and curiously enough, nothing else would take its place.
