Badger Peacock
The Lady Mite (Thu May 10 19:40:51 MDT 2007 -- no Lady Mite photo yet,
but it's in the works) and the Sandy Mite where
Franz (Frank) Pott' biggest commercial successes. But
Mike Wilkerson, who last owned the Pott Fly Company
(after Franz's death in 1957, I think) told me the Peacock
Badger was the best fly, in terms of catching fish.
He did agree with me that the Sandy Mite had the best name.

 Mike Wilkerson, who is a great guy and the last owner/operator of the Pott Fly Company, lent me most of these flies--and the (above) shadow box. Thank you Mike.

Al Campbell How to/
 Franz Pott used a simple loom-like device and a two-strand weaving technique. Here Al Campbell illustrates a similar but three-strand weaving technique.
