The Lord Baltimore is another old fly that is in Ray Bergman's book Trout ( page 436, Plate #5 ). It is very similar to the Black & Orange (another old wet fly pattern) and that is part of the reason I chose to do a video on this fly. I used Goose Quill for the tail and wing on this fly as it is tied on a #4 hook. I would use Duck if I were tying this on a #8 - #12 hook. The Lord Baltimore is a nice dark pattern that I think will fish well in muddy waters. We'll find out as I will be swinging this one this spring. - - Enjoy
