A featherwing streamer that I believe will make a fine Autumn attractor especially for brook trout. The colors used in this fly have been associated with those brook trout favorites.

These are for fishing Bill. Hope it draws a strike or two.
Yup, it's got those Mickey Finn colors.

Picked that out. Mark that's one of the reasons I chose them.
Worthy of fishing for sure but also for hanging on the wall in the mancave.

A man cave, one of these days I'm going to have one.
Looks beautiful Brk Trt. Do you glue wings in the Carrie Stevens style when building your gorgeous feather wing flies?

Yes I do Will. That method is the best way of keeping those feathers in place.
That is a thing of beauty!

Well I don't know about a Masterpiece Mel. But hopefully it will take a trout or two.
Nice looking hook, too.

That is one of Mustads workhorse hooks. It did work well with this fly.
