Paul's Notes and Instructions:

This streamer pattern was, as far as I know first tied by Bob Ferri of Dudley Brook Fly Company. Bob had given me the streamer, which I had carried around for many years before using it. This has become my first choice for ice-out landlocks.

As far as I can tell, Bob originated this fly and it came to me un-named. I named it for the swap. I added the rib and spruced up the bucktail.
