Notes: Monte did a wonderful job modifying these Mustad-Chestertown #3298 hooks to work for these streamers. You can see his notes on the process here, and check out another original streamer pattern from Monte.
This is the streamer adaptation of my steelhead fly of the same name. I like using blue in a few patterns as I find it highly effective and under-used.
