"The Wonder Nymph" - This Fly Catches Everything
Chuck Kraft publicly releases his first fly in 1961. Developed to emulate a stonefly, caddis, mayfly or hellgrammite, the CK Nymph starts to get a reputation and rumors begin to spread about the "anywhere, anytime" fly. Articles, such as the one in Field in Stream in 1971 by S.R. Slaymaker II make the fly even more popular. The photo above was taken from the article in 1971. A friend of Chuck's knew Sam Slaymaker. That is how Slaymaker learned of Chuck. The 3 of them went fishing together which resulted in the article.
