Description
Streamers, and hair wing versions called bucktails, are versatile patterns that can be fished anywhere whether targeting landlocked salmon on a pristine Rangeley region Maine lake, largemouth bass swimming among the lily pads in a tepid southern farm pond, cutthroat trout inhabiting swift, western rivers or hypercritical browns in the Catskills.
In this valuable reference for tiers and anglers alike, author Mike Valla collects here for the reader his favorite classics that are not only important from a historical perspective, but also work well to this day.
The book includes 100 favorite patterns including Allie’s Favorite, Bleeding Shiner, Brooks’s Honey Blonde, Bumblepuppy, Chief Needahbeh, Colonel Bates, Edson Tiger-Dark, Fox’s Yellow Optic Bucktail, General MacArthur, Goober, Jane Craig, Missoulian Spook, Nine-Three, Parma Belle, Shushan Postmaster, Spruce, Supervisor, Thunder Creek Silver Shiner, and Warden’s Worry.
