That Leadwing in size 14 is excellent during a Grannon hatch.

A pattern called the Pick Pocket shared many years ago by Mike O’Brien in the April 1995 issue of the Mid Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide. It’s a version of the Picket Pin that I have tied and fished for decades and have just flat out caught a lot of fish on it. It’s tough to argue against the effectiveness of the combination of peacock herl and grizzly hackle but this fly also has a unique flair of its own. This one is tied on a size 10 hook. I love fishing and swinging this fly in traditional wet fly fashion and it has become one of my “go to” flies for native brookies tied on a size 12 hook.
The Mid Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide was a great publication back in the day and I’m glad I still have my collection of back issues of the magazine. I enjoy looking back through them occasionally and rereading articles by some of the great contributing writers over the years as well as the great artwork provided by the contributing artists including an era by our own Dave W.

I have at least 40 Mid Atlantic Fly Fish Guides also. It was a good publication. I would pick them up at sporting goods stores every month.
