Notes: Scott drew on the colours in the MacTavish Red tartan to create the 4 streamer in his Tartan Series. The modern MacTavish Red tartan is primarily red with light blue and black. Scott used a traditional east coast salmon fly presentation for the streamer, and we hope to see the design fished on the eastern salmon rivers next fall.
