The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

#352 CDL Smelt - Joel Stansbury #352 CDL Smelt - Joel Stansbury

Tied by: Joel Stansbury
Originated by: Joel Stansbury

Hook: Partridge CS15 #4
Thread: White 8/0
Tag: Silver flat tinsel
Body: Orange UNI-Stretch
Rib: Silver flat tinsel
Belly: White bucktail
Throat: White hen hackle fibers
Wing: 2 yellow hackles flanked by olive hackle flanked by Coq de Leon hackle
Shoulder: Jungle cock body feather
Eyes: Jungle cock nail
Head: Black

Notes: An impressive smelt imitation using some natural looking yellow and olive tones nestled under a badger Coq de Leon hackle. Joel's streamer is a wonderful mimic for the rainbow smelts that make up a large portion of the diets of big lake sport fish. the dark centers of the Coq de Leon hackle make a perfect lateral line for the smelt.

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.
