Notes: The Platte River Special is a preverbal favourite for fishing browns and bows on the patterns namesake river. The feather wing Platte River Special was developed by Bud Miller in the early 1950's and has since spawned several variations of the fly. Kevin's bucktail version has become an excellent streamer for fishing during the fall season. It is as good as a dinner bell for attracting big hungry brown trout.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
