Notes: The design was created in 1999 by Barry on request from Ricki Lawrence, a lodge owner in Saskatchewan. She requested a streamer that they could including inside the Christmas cards they sent out to customers every year. A streamer was designed that incorporated the colors of the rainbow, fitting as the name of the fishing camp is Rainbow Lodge. As with almost anything that comes from Barry's vise, not only is is an attractive pattern to look at, it was also found to be a good producer in the Western Canadian waters.
