Author's Note
The creator of this fly is unknown to me. I had heard in a riverside conversation that the creator was a certain Mr. Jean-Marie Lord?... Personally, it was Christian Milliard, an experienced local salmon angler, who introduced me to him.
According to this recipe. La Ouelle catches its share of salmon every season... Why not try it on the rivers of the north shore with the same colors!

"La Ouelle" likely refers to Rivière-Ouelle, a picturesque town in the Kamouraska region of Quebec, Canada
