Notes: Don is known for his fondness of the large flies and this one fits the bill. This is the second biggest streamer in the project. The wing is an odd combination of peach, claret and olive, something you wouldn't (or least I wouldn't) think to put together, but came about thanks to Don's Wing Thing's system. By playing around with the infinite combination of colors, Don is able to come away with these unique blends. It is tied on a modified saltwater hook, but could be tied in smaller sizes as well.
