For years the Lady Caroline has been one of my 'go to' patterns. It has an amazing ability to move fish when other flies will not. Over the years I have taught a lot of classes to help folks learn how to put one together. I continue to hear the lament of how hard it is to find good materials and how hard it is to set the wings right. I have been toying for a while with a reduced version but would not stop until I had one that contains the same fish moving magic. This is it.
