As of yesterday I found out that small brook trout like to eat it to.

It almost seems bleached! <br />The "Doe Tail" streamer you have tied reflects the simplistic philosophy that embodies this blog and your way of life! I happen to adore them both! This pattern will catch fish not only in New England but all over the world! Where ever big fish eat little fish!<br />Excellent, excellent work Alan! Where's my materials?
