Governor Alvord

Tail - Dark scarlet
Body - Peacock herl*
Hackle - Brown
Wing - Slate married to cinnamon*
Trout - Ray Bergman

Don Bastian Note

* The Governor Alvord has the unique status of being the only peacock herl-bodied fly in all of Ray Bergman’s books with a married wing. When two colors are listed for a married wing as on the Governor Alvord the sections are normally equal in width.

Nice pattern Norm. In particular, I really like the married wing.
Soft and wet - the only way....
