The Marston's Fancy is another wet fly from Ray Bergman's book - Trout (page 437, plate #5). It is a nice Caddis pattern that is very simple and basic. There is no tip, tag or rib on the Marston's Fancy. I talk a little in the video about the possibility of putting a rib of small wire on this fly to make it a little more durable. All in all, a fun fly to tie and just as productive today as when it was first created. -- Enjoy
