Notes: Kelly originated the Charmed Witch in August 2011. The Charmed Witch pattern uses two colors she has always been fond of, orange and blue. Kelly gets her most creative ideas at night. Blue is a color very attractive to fish, but not often used for fishing.
"I thought about what I wanted, then went into my tying area, and made most of the fly. I was not sure about the shoulder I wanted, so I tried a few feathers up next to the body, and decided upon the golden pheasant tippets. I can get involved with a new pattern, and stay up until 1:00 am working on my idea."
This was Kelly's second Rangeley styled pattern, and we are looking forward to seeing more from her in the future.
