Mike Lawson developed this fly in the early 70’s to match the dark colored caddis hatches on the Henry’s Fork. He named it after his friend Jack Hemingway who used it almost exclusively when fishing that hatch. It is still used with great success today. It is often tied with wood duck flank fibers as an underwing. Clip the abdomen hackle top before tying in the wing.
