Clyde's Comments On This Pattern
I call the pattern the "RB Supervisor." It stands for Rangeley-style Blue
Supervisor. In trying to come up with a pattern for the swap I kept
coming up with road-blocks - already taken, already on your www site, or
material issues. So I decided to take one of my favorite streamer
patterns for fishing the Moosehead area and convert it to a Rangeley-style
streamer. I am very pleased with the results, and if the pattern proves
itself this spring, I may be replacing the Blue Supervisor that I
normally tie. Here's the pattern I normally tie for comparison.
