The original Taylor special was invented by Arthur Taylor who used dark green wool for the front half of the body. Taylor, an artist from Lee, Main invented the fly in 1986. The fly was later modified by Bill Taylor who substituted Peacock for the green wool. Many consider this fly a version of the rat series of salmon flies.
