Fisherman! We have divided our patterns into two sections. The first section is called “Classic Dry Flies”, 1970 or earlier and the second category is “Modern Dry Flies”, 1971 or later. This date was selected based on the approximate time that synthetic materials began to appear on the fly tying scene.
