The following is from Art Flick's Streamside Guide in regards to this fly which imitates the Stenonema Canadensis:

"As nearly as I can determine, the artificial of this fly was originated by Theodore Gordon, but the present method of dressing the Light Cahill was first used by Mr. William Chandler of Neversink, N.Y."

The Light Cahill is one of the most popular dry flies of all time.
