Notes: Steves Adams originated the pattern and named the fly after his father's camp on Seymour Lake. Darren modified the pattern by using a flat tinsel instead of the prescribed holographic braid. Holographic material was used to mimic the natural baitfish color. The patten has also been found to be productive tied in gray and purple version.
