Tied by: Darren MacEachern
Originated by: Darren MacEachern
Hook: Gaelic Supreme Mike Martinek Rangeley Streamer 8xl #1
Thread: 6/0 White
Tag: Silver embossed tinsel
Body: Chinese red floss
Rib: Silver embossed tinsel
Belly: White bucktail
Underwing: Peacock herl
Wing: 2 badger hackles flanked by 2 Coque de Leon hackles
Shoulder: Copper Pheasant
Eye: Jungle cock
Head: Black
Notes: The inspiration for the streamer came with a delivery of materials from my good friend Don Ordes. In the package was an assortment of CDL hackles that I fell in love with right away. I used the badger hackle inside of the CDL to give it a bit stronger lateral line, and the CDL gives the wing spectacular mottling.

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.

Thanks Kelly! I just got in a new supply of CDL, and so it's wonderful timing to show this one off.
