1990 - Turck Tarantula

Good weather came back to grace the One Fly in 1990. George Anderson was looking to repeat his performance but was at a loss as to what fly to pick. As any good guide knows, when in doubt, go to the people who know the water best. Because everybody knew George loved rubber legs, a fly was thrust in front of him for his inspection. It looked sort of like a Madame X, but sort of didn’t. It was unusual and right up George’s alley. He was told that it was a Turck Tarantula. With his patented grin, he snatched the fly from its creator, Guy Turck, with a promise that he would use it. He was willing to gamble and used the now infamous concoction. Quite simply, George kicked butt. The Turck Tarantula did its job and became the new One Fly champ. A star was born.
