Notes:

Larry has been tying a series of streamers based on tartans. (See Scott Murdock's Tartan Series also). The colors of the tartan appealed to him and so the fly was conceived. The clan was formed a confederation composed of the several clans. We will be showing more of Larry's Tartan Series streamers throughout the year.
