I stumbled upon the original Calcasien Pig Boat recipe today while browsing online. Here is a clip from the book, “Fly Fisher’s Pattern Book” by Gene Kugach http://books.google.com/books?id=LOFDXjrLkvAC&pg=PA124&lpg=PA124&dq=crease+fly+template&source=web&ots=HaTYMvKa4Z&sig=7GQjkrLHx6hjsDC0oogOdTeazVg&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=7&ct=result#PPP1,M1
Page 131 has the recipe and a bit of history on the fly.
Here is a clip from the book.

Their archive strikes again!
Thanks for the link Regan, I had missed that one.
By the way, I am going to post detailed instructions soon on how to add the spinner blades to the Pigboat (or any fly for that matter). I have a method that appears to work and the blades are durable under water.
mmmm pork rind…….
