Notes: The Scott Special is a family pattern originating from the Scott family of Pittsburg, New Hampshire. The bucktail was was designed and fished for the Connecticut Lakes and Connecticut River of New England. It is touted to be a decent lure for trout species and has been successful in taking fish across the country. It is particularly effective in dark water and discolored waters, a bright beacon to draw in curious trout. Marcelo ties the fly with his stylized tapered wool body and precisely stacked bucktail wing. Marcelo tied this pattern for Paul Schmookler to be included in the massive streamer collection in 'Forgotten Flies'. A special thanks to Les Booth for his help in tracking down the pattern origins.

Long story longer
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.
