"No. 36. The Alexandra, named after the Princess Alexandra, may not properly be called an artificial fly, being intended as a vague imitation of a minnow, and was originally recommended to be cast and played minnow fashion just below the surface of the water. This pattern was invented by Dr. Hobbs a number of years ago, and it came into great favor with English fishermen; indeed, it was believed to be so taking that its use was forbidden on some streams. Their favorite method was to allow the line to run with the current, and then draw it back up stream by short, sudden jerk that opened and closed the hackle, giving glimpses of the bright, silvery body. In this country the Alexandra is not often dressed on small-sized hooks, but is preferred on large hooks, and is used for trout in deep, dark waters, or for black bass, for either of which it is frequently effective, owing probably to its likeness, when being drawn rapidly through the water, to a tiny minnow. This fly was originally named by General Gerald Goodlake "Lady of the Lake," but this name was afterwards abandoned in favor of Alexandra[1]"
