The Dawson
The Dawson was the creation of Kennet Dawson, and was also known as the Baron Dawson. It was a favorite of Kelson's, though was not a fly commonly used on most rivers. It's not one of the mainstream flies that lots of tiers do these days, and that makes it a little more interesting I think. If you'd like to try this one, here's the recipe:
