#62 Dusky Smelt - Darren MacEachern

Tied by: Darren MacEachern
Originated by: Bert Quimby
Sources: Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing - Bates Pg. 265

Hook: Gaelic Supreme Mike Martinek hook
Thread: Black
Tag: Silver flat tinsel
Body: Black or red floss
Belly: Peacock herl and white bucktail both as long as the wing
Throat: Golden pheasant crest curving upward (not included on later streamers)
Wing: 4 grizzly (Plymouth Rock) hackles with strong barring
Eyes: Jungle cock
Head: Black

Notes: The Dusty Streamer has an early and a late dressing as well as a related pattern, the Dusty Streamer #2. The earlier dressing had a red silk body and later version were switched to black. This streamer was first used on Moosehead Lake in Maine and is a good choice for targetting the land locked salmon early in the season.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
