Tied by: Monte Smith
Originated by: Andrew Marshall
Hook: VMC B-17, 10xl #2
Body: Pearl tubing, shreadded ends for the tail. Bind at the rear of the body with red thread.
Belly: Yellow then white bucktail, covered by a short golden pheasant crest.
Underwing: Yellow bucktail
Wing: 2 olive hackles flanked by grizzly hackle
Topping: Olive bucktail and a few peacock herls
Shoulder: Ringneck pheasant flank feather
Eyes: Small Jungle Cock
Throat: Red schlappen fibers
Head: Olive
Notes: There are not many streamers in the project designed specifically for bass, but I have no doubt that many of them would work wonderfully. Monte has tied up this beefy streamer on a VMC B-17 hook, one I had not seen before (check the hook reference for a profile). It has a similar profile to the Partridge C15, perhaps a bit more refined with a smoother lighter finish, and a heavy wire perfect for big bass.
My good friend Andrew Marshall provided me with this pattern a few years ago to fish for largemouth bass. It was unnamed, so I fixed that... with his blessing. He says it is a perch imitation. This is my interpretation of his original.

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.
