Hi,
I’m hoping there is someone who might be able to ID this fly. It was supposedly tied by Lee Wulff. The story is that Lee Wulff was at Doak’s store in New Brunswick around 1965 or so. A friend of mine was there — he was just a kid then — maybe 10 to 12 years old and he met Lee. He was just a kid so didn’t think anything of it. There was a group of guys in the shop getting supplies including this kid’s father. After finishing their business at Doaks they all headed down to fish with Ted Williams at his pool on the Miramichi. At the pool Wulff gave the kid this fly to use. The kid then used it to take a salmon. It sounds crazy, I know, but who knows… maybe it’s true. Here is a few pics of the fly. Can anyone tell by looking at it if it appears to be tied by Lee Wulff? The round plastic container is 2” in diameter.
Thanks, Ron
Lee Wulff Hand tied fly (maybe)

#2The best bet is to contact the Catskill fly Fish center in Livingston Manor, NY. Or contact James Krul on FB

#3Definitely contact the center...ask for assistance from Dave Catizone and Joan Wulff. Jim Krull will have knowledge as well.
I don't believe it is a fly tied by Wulff' but he had many different ideas. He tied in hand and frankly the fly in question seems to well tied to be his.

#4To me, the fly looks an awful lot like a Jack's Basshoun, made and sold by the Marathon Bait Company. It also appears unused. A Google image search will show you many examples, including:
