Madsen's Skunk?
Usually credited to Earl Madsen of Grayling, Michigan, but possibly created by Jerry Webber in the 1940s, the Madsen’s Skunk is a great all-purpose dry fly that can make a passable hopper, cricket or even stonefly. Legend has it that this was the first ever fly pattern to use rubber legs.
