Liggett Special Bucktail

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-ran… 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.
