Notes: This streamer fly was created in June of 2009 when Selene was leading a Women's Fly Fishing School at Weatherby's in Grand Lake Stream, Maine. Prompted by lodge guide Jared Koengs, and in a creative state of mind, Selene put thought to hook and feather resulting in a traditional styled and quite Ghostly streamer. "There were a bizzillion mosquitos that weekend at Forth Lake where we were fishing, hence the name. The weekend was a memory maker for sure and this fly helps to remind me of it."
