Hi Okaf, Looks like your comments went to the spam folder for some reason, sorry about that. She fot the fish above on a fly, but I had to get it on for her to reel in. For some reason, the fish weren't touching her bait.

Nice! Like most Gartside patterns, I bet that one would work for just about anything, anywhere.

Yeah, Ed. I had a different pose in mind for the pic, but she wasn't about to touch that slimy bastard with bare hands! Her debut as a page six chick is gonna have to wait...

Great to see you join the conversation, Chris. The article you wrote on classic streamers in the premier issue of Hatches was probably the best article I've ever seen on the subject.

I think Henry Ford said something like- if you want to figure out the most efficient way to do something, put a lazy man on the job.

One of the best things about streamers is that for the most part, any streamer will work for just about any species of fish. I can take any of the flies above and catch trout, bass, pike, stripers, etc. That means if I'm smart about color combos, etc., can have a single fly box to worry about, that will produce anywhere I go.
