Anticipation....The Streamer

Jungle Cock
Today was one heck of a gloomy day. It seemed as if the weather did not know what to present. It was cloudy, rainy. the sky brightened and then it rained again. I had not tied a streamer in some time and today with the gloomy weather I chose to brighten things a bit with color. All in "Anticipation".......


"Anticipation"
The streamer is tied in the Rangeley Style. Classic lines with some color.


Materials....Hook, Martinek Rangeley Streamer....Body, Red Floss...Tail, Red Hackle Fibers...Tag and Rib, Flat Silver Tinsel...Throat, White Hackle, Yellow Hackle...Wing, 2 Yellow Saddle Hackles, followed by 2 Orange Saddle Hackles...Shoulder, R.N. Pheasant Dyed Red...Cheeks, Jungle Cock.

    Alan,
    This streamer is gorgeous! Not only are the proportions balanced oh so well but the colors are just perfect! This is a Petrucci original correct?
    Wonderful pattern!

    Flies like these are just too pretty to fish with.

      Mark after a few fish chew on them the pretty is gone and that's when they start to really produce.

    Hi Alan, That JC cape is impressive. Your streamer brings back memories of trolling for LL and lake trout, at Newfound Lk, in May. Only we fished with an old timer that sewed minnies on, in some special way. Caught a lot of fish. Smoked the lake trout. Delicious cold on bagels for breakfast.

      Thanks
      John I found that on e-bay not to long ago.
      Trolling flies and sewed bait is quite popular on Maine lakes. There was a guide-fly tyer on Sebago Lake many years ago named Art Libby. He tied some very sparse trolling flies made of bucktail.
