The Boss has been catching Pacific salmon since Eisenhower was president, and it has not needed a single update. Chenille body, silver rib, orange hackle, and a dark wing -- it is as traditional as a fly gets without involving a vise from the Victorian era. Kings eat it. Silvers eat it. The occasional ambitious Dolly eats it. It is called the Boss because it runs the show.
