 COMMENTS:

THIS FLATWING TAKES ITS NAME FROM A SONG BY PETER GABRIEL. VARIOUS TEAL OR MALLARD FEATHERS CAN BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE WING, HOWEVER, I PREFER THE MORE 'KHAKI' COLOR WHEN COMBINED WITH THE RED/CLARET FEATURES OF THIS PATTERN.

Flatwings

Streamers: One style of streamer that is very effective here in Maine in the smaller casting sizes, is the flatwing streamer. The feature that defines this style, the flat wing, normally consists of a flank feather from some species of duck tied flat on top of the hook, instead of in the classic "upright" manner that the classic New England Streamer patterns specify. Go to the story

Smelt

Forage: The "king of baitfish", the American Smelt is the inspiration for the vast majority of New England Streamer patterns. Though there are a number of smelt species throughout the world, it's the Atlantic Rainbow Smelt that populates New England's waters, and is the one most-commonly immitated. Go to the article here

Streamers

Section: Our streamers section with New England streamers, Carrie Stevens patterns and flies from the hands and heads of Stewart and Leeman, Ray Bergman, Mike Martinek, Herb Welch and many more. Go to the streamer section here.

Carrie Stevens patterns

raske streamers : No page featuring New England Streamers would be complete without a portion dedicated to Carrie G. Stevens, of Madison, Maine. Mrs. Stevens is the originator or the Grey Ghost, one of the most well-known and effective New England Streamer patterns to have been tied, and still a popular choice as a trolling and casting streamer today.

1000 best sites

If you had asked GFF partner Martin Joergensen a while back, he'd have answered that a book on web sites is a stillborn idea. End of story. Print stuff on web sites is bound to be outdated before the ink is dry. This book changed his mind on that.

Kola on a Budget

Fishing on the Kola Peninsula is usually connected with everything but low price fishing. However, it is still possible to organize a trip for large, golden, Russian brown trout and pay no more than 500 Euros per person including everything.

The Zuddler

Question: What to you get when you combine elements of a Muddler Minnow and a Zonker? Answer: A Zuddler - an excellent steelhead fly. Joe Emery and John Rode have combined a zonker strip, a muddler head and a cone head into a killer pattern.
