The "Tomah Jo" is a  Lake Fly originally tied by Miss Sara J. McBride of Mumford NY and named by Mr. Charles W. Stevens of Boston in his book “Fly-fishing in the Maine lakes”.  The fly was named after a Maine Indian guide – Tomah Joseph from the Passamaquoddy tribe.  

These are historically accurate flies referencing Mary Orvis Marbury's legendary book, Favorite Flies and Their Histories published in 1892. Lee also creates 'Freestyle' flies using historical elements as a starting point to create original and unique flies in his own style.
