Notes: While this streamer wasn't originated by Ora Smith himself, he did tie and include it in his submission to Leeman and Stewart for their book, Trolling Flies for Trout and Salmon. Forest preferred to have the rear hook of his tandems ride upward, and you may also note the differently colored front and rear hook body. Glenn has put together an amazing set of 12 Ora Smith streamers as his contribution to the Streamers 365 project. We will be auctioning them all together as a set near the end of the project.
