Notes: This is the first of many of Carrie Stevens flies to be presented in the project. Peter choose this streamer because it is one that does not get much attention, in fact it has been left out of many of the streamer aficionado literature with only mentions of the pattern or a material listing being mentioned. Other Devils in the series include the Blue Devil and the Red Devil.
