A bit of history: Popularized by Ora Smith, Maynard’s Marvel was
    created by Bill Zimmerman of Keene, New Hampshire, and named
    after “Doc” Maynard of Maynard’s Camps on Moosehead Lake.
    This pattern morphed into a version with a silver pheasant neck
    feather for the throat, and then into a version with two black
    hackles over the top of the pheasant crest wing. Most local tiers
    now make this fly with a synthetic gold-colored wing. Stewart and
    Leeman renamed this the Golden Marvel in their 1982 book,
    Trolling Flies, but most tiers and fishermen in the Monadnock
    region didn’t get the memo.
