Author's Note

This fly was named in memory of a miraculous catch at the Plaqué Pit on the Musquanousse River, at the outfitter of the same name, in 2007. Six salmon took the same #8 fly in an hour and a half. The same scenario was repeated in 2008 with a 3-pound sea trout and two salmon in two hours. It was also successfully tested on the Rivière aux Rochers in Port-Cartier.
