Rib: Flat silver tinsel
Throat: White over black goose shoulder with white extending to tail, black 3/4 way along body

Head: Black
Notes: Eunan tied this one of a kind streamer to commemorate the sinking of the great ship Titanic 100 years ago. Each element of the fly has some significance. The colors of the throat, body and tail were chosen for the hull of the ship. The long sweeping white goose in the throat signifies the white lateral stripe just below the open decks. The JC, with 4 eyes for the 4 funnels. The silver tag and rib for the glamour of the maiden voyage. The white wing is for the clear cold night and smoke from the funnels and finally the topping for the lights of the ship.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
