Thanks for the history on the other Ace of Spades pattern John.
It seems that Mr.Schmookler didn't do much, if any research on any of the U.K. patterns in Forgotten Flies, as I don't recall any of them being correct.
I would like to see more videos on Ohio Steel,Thank you.
Looks beautiful.... like rest of yours work.
merry Christmas to you and your family and everyone on GFF
Merry Christmas to you and all the reader/contributor off GFF.
A very nicely tied fly, but why did he and many other tiers place the barred rabbit with the bars facing up? Don't salmon and steelhead come from below to take a swinging fly, I know tarpon are almost always coming from below to take a fly.
Martin,
Merry Christmas and a happy, as healthy as possible New Year 2013 for you and your family.
I am really grateful for your GFF website and all your input in it and with it, all the input in my fly fishing and tying.
All the best
Jan
Truly a beautiful pattern and tied to perfection. Great job I think I may have to give one of these a try.
Always amazing the different types of flies
Cheers from Germany

the next generation will place the eyez slightly forward and lower as to NOT infringe into the "keep obstruction phree" gap zone...
Best wishes from Turkey for the new year!..
May you have better health and better fishing.
And many thanks for the GFF...
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
