The Queen of the Waters is another classic wet fly that is in Ray Bergman's book - Trout (page 442, plate #7). This fly is a request from a follower and one I had on my radar to do a tying video on. It is probably the simplest and most elegant wet fly I have ever tied. Only three components but when put together they make a very effective fly. If you are a wet fly fan you should definitely tie some of these and take them with you on your next outing. - Enjoy
