DAMN you're good! That's #2 in the flybook. The winner last weekend was the Bead Head Olive Leech. Here's a pic of one Travis tied, from
Eldredge Brother's Fly Shop in Maine (scroll down to see Trav):

Local angler Travis Johnson taught today's class how to tie four of his favorite flies for catching trout and salmon in his favorite early season haunts. We hear many reports of Travis' activities in the shop from other customers, which usually start off with, "This guy was hooking fish left and right…" During the class, Travis gave away a box of flies to a lucky student whose name got drawn from a hat. Everyone agreed that the class was a lot of fun and that these flies were sure to get them some fish. The patterns Travis tied were the merrymeeting midge, olive leech, yellow marabou and wood duck heron.
I make Olive Leeches a bit different, but the one thing both his and mine have in common is that it was developed by my dad back in the 80's.
