The Cahill (sometimes referred to as the Dark Cahill) is a classic wet fly pattern created by Dan Cahill back in 1884. The pattern is so versatile that there are at least two versions I know if (a dark and a light Cahill) but the light Cahill is sometimes tied with a white body and hackle so, I don't know if that constitutes a third version (Ulta Light?). For many fly fisherman it is a staple in their fly box.
A gentleman by the name of Gerald E. Wolf has a nice article on the history of the Cahill. Follow this link to check it out.
