"Madame"

As of last Friday we have returned to winter. Snow and cold have taken hold for now but a moderating trend is coming. So with the time available I turned to the tying desk and pumped out a few streamers. This is one that I find to be pleasing, both to tie as well as view.

This featherwing streamer is tied in the "Rangeley" style, as are the others I tied over the week-end. I hope you enjoy...."Madame"

      Mark it's pretty for sure but I'd love to see it fished for some Calif. steelhead.

  6. You tie beautiful streamers, Alan, including the one you sent me from the contest. I mounted it within a trout picture that my daughter painted for me for Christmas. It looks great in there and I look at it often.

    Best Regards, Sam

      Sam the trout picture painted by your daughter is probably one of the finest gifts you can get.
      I'll bet it looks great.

  8. Perpetually Beautiful, Alan! On one hand it should be in a fly case display on the wall, and, on the other hand bringing home the mighty Steelhead as you mentioned.
