Grizzly Shrimp Pattern

[Saberfish]

Unless there is someone still around the Gorge that was there during the Canty era, or maybe an older owner of a fly shop in Colorado, who remembers the pattern, I can't think of any other information source.

I was fishing the Flaming Gorge at that time, but had mackinawitis, and was dragging steel for the critters. All of my fly fishing/fly tying gear had been shelved until I recovered.

I think the Mr Canty lived in Grand Junction, but I'm not sure of that either.
