Originated by: Conversion of the Soo Nipi wet fly; originator unknown

Notes: This is another of Dave's conversion series streamers using a wet fly found in Ray Bergman's Trout. The fly is named after the Algonquin name for Lake Sunapee. Soo-Nipi is translated as "Wild Goose Waters", named so for the large numbers geese that make a rest stop during migration each year. Dave's conversion adheres closely to the original wet with the exception that the blue is tied in the beard position in the wet fly.

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.
