From the Internet

This fly was born in the 60s at the still water in the highlands of Småland in Sweden. One of the water, where the fly later came to harvest greatest triumphs, was called Knekestorp - and the fly has therefore in the immediate circle of friends come to be called just "Knekestorparen".

I checked this out, more because of the name than anything...well, that and I saw it was tied by Norm. Danged if that isn't a neatly dressed fly. Beautifully done. Did you wrap the turkey herl around the tying thread before wrapping on the hook shank?

norm, Howdy;

I think I hear the pitter-patter of Stefan's shoes closing in ...

Very well tied fly by the way. There was some discussion awhile ago
about this fly, especially regarding the Turkey feather, iirc.
