Notes: Preston Jennings had a unique perspective when it came to designing lures, and used a prism to view his natural bait fish muses. The viewing offered Mr. Jennings a separation of colour which he used as the basis to design his streamers. The Iris #1 is quite striking in colour and was originally tied using polar bear. Fox, yak or bucktail are good substitutes for the hard to acquire polar bear hair.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
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.
