Author's Note

Created by Lucie Hailé of Lévis, who sadly passed away in 2006. Like a shoemaker with no shoes, as she used to say, Lucie would tie flies a few hours before heading out fishing. The first time she used this artificial fly was on the Quelle, a salmon river east of Quebec City. To her great surprise, when she cast it, the fly reminded her of the color of the Mediterranean Sea with its greenish-blue reflections. The effectiveness of the Mediterranean has been confirmed by many highly experienced salmon anglers.
