The Lady Amherst is an Atlantic salmon fly pattern of Canadian origin which bears resemblance to the British classics. It was originated around 1925 by George Bonbright, who is also known for a various streamer fly patterns. Bates (1996) lists the fly as originally being named "Bonbright #2", but was changed to "Lady Amherst" because of the wing material and to avoid confusion with an earlier fly named "Bonbright #1". It was such a successful fly on the Grand Cascapedia that guides would suggest only this pattern for use, in sizes up to 5/0. It may be dressed with either 2 pair of Amherst pheasant tippets, Ranger style, or as a strip-wing using Amherst pheasant tail.
