Martinek's CS streamers
The three original Carrie Stevens Patterns on this page are shared with us from Mike Martinek's private collection with his comments.
The Flatwing style

Garfish on a flyrod

White Marabou
What's so exciting about a simple white marabou streamer? It doesn't have any exotic ingredients. No epoxy. No goggle eyes. No genetic hackle.

Flyfishing "how-to" Books This one is for all the new inductees to the sport. I still remember it like it was yesterday, my struggles to understand the arcane techno speak of fly fishing.

Having said that I know that someone will be able to prove that some of these titles are not available. Yup that's life for ya, win some... lose some, oh well.
