Notes: Alan tied up a beautiful little casting streamer created by Mike Martinek. The streamer has some definite tones of the Mickey Finn with it's layered yellow and orange wing. It has been accented with a beautiful streak of orange pheasant tippet out the back. The pattern comes from Mike's second volume of streamer patterns. The booklet has been out of print for a number of years, but Mike is planning on having it reprinted soon.

Thanks Dan.
The orange bucktail is in there, but it's very sparse and hard to see. The body is a braid material, and having a closer look, I don't think it's the Axxel Flash, but something similar. I'll check with Alan and update. Thanks for reading!
