It's basically a chironomid tied with stripped purple quill tied in size 16-20 with a grayish tan dubbed thorax and a medium gray split duck wing case. Originated on spring creek. It's been a go-to there for decades. The Bonbright Club below the railroad bridge was named after it as it was such a prolific hatch. Wish I had a way of posting a pic for you but no camera at this time.
Hope this helps.

Not what youre looking for, but interesting facts non-the less..
"In 1998, Canada Post released a collection of 12 X 45 cent stamps. Included in the collection are flies tied by Eric Baylis, Rob Brown, Evan Egan, Paul LeBlanc, Art Lingren, and Jerry Doak. Jerry tied the “Lady Amherst” for the collection. It is a 1925 pattern by George Bonbright; a classic featherwing for Atlantic Salmon on rivers like Quebec’s Grand Cascapedia. The fly, like Jerry and Wallace Doak, is steeped in the traditions of New Brunswick’s famous Miramichi River."

in reality the fly is named after the guy who originally owned that property, named Bonbright. adkff got the recipe right. i'm not sure the Bonbright fellow mentioned above is the same guy but it sure could be.

Hey Cdoc. I google searched this forever and went through pages and pages of things and I was only able to catch mentions of it no pictures at all. Now you've got me interested in this damn pattern!
FlyFlogger, no camera? How about a cell phone that sends pictures? Just take a picture and picture msg it to your E Mail. Then post it eh?
I'm gonna try to find this damn thing again.

cdoc/htl...
I'll see what I can do. I have a camera but loaned it to one of the daughters. Will try to get something up around the weekend. Hope you can be a little patient with an old timer.
