Fall Streamer Swap



Swapmeister Scott Daskiewich

The season of Fall is one of change for the flyfisher. Summer melts away as temperatures drop and daylight fades. Fishing seasons end, but new opportunities begin in the form of aggressive fish readying to spawn or fatten up for the coming winter. To keep up with these changes, the flyfisher turns to bright patterns designed to incite the primal instincts of fish invigorated by the cooling waters. With these thoughts in mind, streamer@ list member Bob Petti suggested a Fall Swap to load our collective boxes with flies that would be most likely fished in the Fall. In a true international effort, tyers from the USA and Canada participated with great results. As always, I'm grateful to be able to participate with such a talented group as the streamers@ list. Thanks to all.

Swapmeister,
Scott Daskiewich

Sunray Shadow

The Sunray Shadow is a true killer fly for salmon fishing. Tied on a tube with a wing and no body, simple as few flies, but still - or maybe rather because of that - extremely efficient. The fly uses few materials and is very easy to tie.

The Ugliest Flies

Martin has just received the ugliest flies he has ever seen in his life. And no, don't worry they weren't from a potential GFF contributor or a well meaning friend, but commercially tied. They just confirmed what he has always said: home tied flies are best.
