Unidentified Fly

[Xplorer]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a fly that I found in my fly box and have been using it a bit. It is a wet fly and I have been having good luck with it lately especially after dark. I have looked online and in a few books looking for the name of it with no luck.

 

I think it might just be a generic or attractor pattern but was wondering if someone here might id it, if it has a name. I was also wondering what it might be imitating....an emerger of some kind maybe?

 

Thanks in advance, here's a pic

This is a classic lake BC fly. When I lived in BC I tied thousand of these for the local shops in a variety of colors., Olive,Green, Red Sedge and Black. Originally called the "Monkey-faced Louise", it was then changed to the name Carey Special. It was aptly named the Carey Special from its originator, Coloney Carey of Kelowna who originally taught me to tie it when I was a kid.
