The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Interesting about that fly. There was a local favorite during that same time frame called the Mill Creek Queen. (The Mill Creek that flows out of the south side of Lassen Park.) I tied hundreds of those and sold them at the Mill Creek Store. I was living at the ranger station in Mineral back then. I wonder if it was common back then to have lots of local favorites named for local waters (even though they may have been very common flies.)

By the way Pete.....I won't have any Eagle Lake report. Between the weath and some other obligations I cancelled. Speaking of weather.....its snowing at 3300 feet here in Quincy right now.
