Notes: The Silver Doctor is an old pattern dating back to the mid 1800's. The pattern caught favor in Scandinavia and North America not long after gaining access to the fly wallets of British anglers. The pattern was highly successful for luring salmon. Robert based his conversion on Mr. Wright's original pattern, keeping the body elements intact and sculpting a charming modern rendition.
