Robb's Comments On This Pattern
I first saw this pattern in one of Bob Petti's articles--he does a much
better job of explaining the tying procedure than I, so check his entry
out on the smelt swap page or his article in the Fishing Denmark page.
For this swap I tied the fly on a "streamer hook" and substituted
schlappen instead of hen hackle to make for a sleaker appearance. This
is now my favorite streamer "searching" pattern for both bass and
trout--orange and copper has been real good for the smallies on the
Susquehanna. In white/red I've caught a few pike and in chartreuse I
got a few stripers this year.
