Tied by: David Mac
Originated by: David Mac

Hook: Martinek Carrie Stevens hook #1 10X Long
Thread: Black
Body: Emerald green floss
Rib: Silver Mylar tinsel (size 10)
Belly: White bucktail
Throat: Pale yellow hackle
Wing: Two green dun saddle hackles flanked by two pale olive saddle hackles
Shoulder: Golden pheasant green shoulder feather under a red golden pheasant back feather

Notes: The streamer features a really beautiful green dun hackle pair with pale olvie hackles. This combination produces a light green shade that can be seen in Maine's smelt populations. The streamers was commissioned in 1969 by Arthur Greenstreet of Hawaii for his Lake Winnipesaukee Camp.

a very fishy pattern indeed, the all white rear two thirds really draws some attention to the green floss

Such a fine piece of work, it almost seems a shame to dunk it.

Sooo beautiful, as always.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
