Author's Note
Brigadier General Noel Money of Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, originated the two preceding patterns. These flies originally sported swan quill wings, however, they were replaced with bucktail over fifty years ago. General Money was one of our early fly-fishing fishing steelhead pioneers on the West Coast. Fly tiers were always seeking out his patterns and attempting to duplicate them. There were about nine known patterns but the two I have listed were the most popular.
