The Swedish “Big-Streamer-Dude” par excellence Andreas Andersson, sat down behind the vice for the current edition of “Tie Hard” to offer his variation of “The Circus peanut”. This articulated streamer was originally conceived by Russ Maddin, a renowned fly fisherman and guide from Michigan. Big flies - big fish, at least if Russ has his way - and he knows his stuff.
