My "Throw Back Thursday" fly of the week is the Kings River Caddis. Wayne "Buz" Buszek created this fly in the 1950's while fishing the Kings River and trying to match the caddis fly hatch that was taking place below Pine Flat Reservoir. . The success of the fly became well known during the 1960's when Orvis included it in their catalog and many flyfishing books began to mention it. Buz maintained a flyfishing store in Visalia, CA. The Federation of Fly Fishers honored Buz by creating the Buz Buszek Memorial Award in 1970 which is awarded annually to an outstanding fly tyer demonstrating skill, innovation, and the sharing of knowledge in the art of fly tying.
It is nice to see you back here, Wes! That is a beautiful tie, as always!
