I love all of Ray Begmans wet flys
Hi David;
Thanks for your comment! These pattern were in his books, but with one exception that he originated (The Quebec), they are all examples of commercially produced patterns, many of them historic 19th century flies. A correction of sorts perhaps, not necessarily “Bergman’s wet flies. Thanks again!
