Don's Delight is a basic "Carrie Stevens" fly as well as having all the basic attributes of the Rangeley Lake region flies. It is the second fly that I will be teaching in an upcoming class at FlyMasters of Indianapolis on Nov. 9th. I chose this fly because it does not require any special (or costly) materials to make as well as it is a good all round basic minnow pattern.

If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.
