Liggett Special Bucktail
Related content
I first saw this fly pattern years ago while reading an article on Global Fly Fisher written by Mike Martinek. http://globalflyfisher.com/streamer-guests-streamers/mike-martineks-rang... Mike stated that he preferred to fish the Liggett Special over the Mickey Finn and claimed it as one of his all-time favorite bucktails. The bucktail was named for one Mr. Liggett, a Hathaway Shirt Co foreman.
It is easy to see the resemblance to the famous Mickey Finn bucktail.

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.
