Tied by: David Mac
Originated by: David Mac

Hook: Martinek Carrie Stevens hook #1 10X Long
Thread: Black
Body: Silver Mylar tinsel, size 10 wrapped with large flat pearl tinsel
Belly: Green Icelandic Sheep topped with white Icelandic Sheep, ( was originally done with bucktail in 1986 )
Throat: Black hackles
Wing: Two Kelly Green saddle hackles flanked by two olive saddle hackles, flanked by two light olive saddle hackles
Shoulder: Green Guinea hen
Eyes: Painted on black head, white with black dot

Notes: The streamer has a nice melding of greens and olives for a great smelt look to the pattern. Commissioned in 1986 for use in Lake Winnipesaukee, NH for Mr. Daniel Hatch.

Wishing you a speedy recovery David.

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
