The pattern for this fly, came from the fine book by Bruce Ferguson, Les Johnson, and Pat Trotter, Fly Fishing For Pacific Salmon. They write that the Optics are a group of compact, fast-sinking flies from a series designed for winter steelhead by C. Jim Pray. Although designed for steelhead, they produce well on salmon.
