1986

The Trude has been around since the early 1900s, when Alfred Trude first cast his bucktail wind creation on the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River near Island Park, Idaho in 1901. The Trude fly has been a popular creation among fly fishermen. The Lime Trude is a fly that was tied and fished by Reynolds Pomeroy of Westbank Anglers. In the first One Fly, he scored point after point with his lime green body, grizzly hackled, size 14 Trude, winning the 1986 event. Dubbed as the perfect One Fly (because it can be fished effectively, either wet or dry), the fly now is a standard in Jackson Hole, stocked in every fly shop in the region and a popular pick among One Fly participants.
