One more tip I can attest to. Wear polypro or the like under and over. I took a dunk one cold morning in March over a mile from the truck. I was wearing a belt, so not much got down the waders. I wrung my fleece shirt and polypro top out, put them and my jacket back on and kept fishing. Only shivered while I was topless!

Hi Donald,

a really nice fly! I like that hairy Seal's dub and the amount you took a lot.

Where can i get the rubber bands you used for the guides. I like your idea with that white constrictor to slide it up the blank. Do you make them yourself?? Rich Thanks, great article.

Great article... but you forgot one thing - AGE.
Please don't step into my river unless you are a least 60 - I have earned the right to be here - young punk.
I may stand here all day and cast a size 28 midge and catch nothing, but don't come here and catch MY fish using that fancy schmancy new technique called nymphing - that's not flyfishing. It's borderline snagging...

;-D

RASKE?!? No freakin' way. Thanks for the kind words, man. It's been a long time. I hope you are pleased that we're keeping Raske's streamer page alive. And you should realize the silver pheasant wing quills above are the ones you sent me years ago along with a couple dyed olive mallard flank feathers for flatwings. Fly tyers don't throw away anything.

Get well soon and remember the shortest distance between two points is a straight line in the opposite direction!

David: I did not know of your recent health issue. So a belated GET WELL SOON. I hope we can get together in Maine as soon as you fell up to taking a ride. Sixteen year ago, while working for Maine DIF&W I started a program called Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs. teaching kid how to fish. I am glad to hear that you are also involved with fishing and fly tying. Take care children

Gary, love this version. Every time I hear the name of this fly, I think of you. The pattern is great, but I think it must be your favorite streamer of all time. You did a splendid job on this fly, love it!

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
