I'm looking forward to fishing these. I have a glut of small black soft-hackles in my boxes, a few with crow herl bodies, but this has some character to it. Thanks for bringing this fly to light.

Lance, that original pic is fantastic.

Here's one of my efforts tied on a vintage Mustad 57552

That is essentially perfect, William.

Cool pale version of the fly on a hook intended to "kill". Can't remember ever seeing that hook before.
What did the body fiber feather look like?
It would be nice to see a version with a hackle from hooded crow, jay, waterhen or something like that, with the same body.
When you find some time and inspiration...

Thank you, Bill, although I'm making notes of several adjustments that would put this closer to accurate. Another wrap of the white portion, a turkey feather with a stark transition from white to a darker tone, and although not called for, a very fine silver rib wouldn't hurt this fly.

DD, thanks again for prompting this tie. I especially like your second fly in the initial post with the more textured body and hook used. Really convinced me to put a few in my box. Your suggestion of various hackle types is a good one. I do carry several black flies of this "type" in several hackles and body materials, but essentially a modest profile in body taper with texture and size. From Williams Favourite to some crow hurl bodies, these are just the thing at times. Thanks again.

SL stands for Sveneric Loodh. I won't tell you what Sedge stands for. The fly also goes by the name "The Pastor". I'm sure you can understand why.

Google Translate doesn't clarify "Sveneric Loodh". Maybe the missing photo told the story.

Gentlemen...it is threads such as this one that has attracted me most to this forum. The history and personal accounts of the members use and tying of these flies is amazing.
The personal connections many of you have with those who have made lasting contributions to the art of tying and the sport of fishing is wonderful to hear about.
Thanks for the pictures of these famous flies, and sharing your knowledge.
