A long time ago, while fly fishing the Klamath River in Northern California, an old timer fisherman gave me a raggedy tied steelhead fly he called the "Chappie". I didn't know anything about it at the time, and don't even remember if I fished it, but I think I still have it kicking around with a bunch of old steelhead flies.
This afternoon I was tying up a small selection of flies for (hopefully) a trip up there in the coming weeks. I thought about the old fisherman and the Chappie so quickly wrapped one up with a slight variation.
My version of "Outdoor" Franklin's Chappie, size 6.
