Scaled Shiner Hairwing Recipe
Hook: Mustad 3665A #2
Thread: Black
Tail: Black hackle fibers
Body: Olive green floss (dressed heavy)
Rib: Diamond wrap black thread
Throat: Red hackle fibers
Wing: Black bear hair
Eyes: Jungle cock nail
Head: Black
Notes: This streamer was originally developed as a feather-wing streamer by Mr. Don Shiner of Nescopeck, Pennsylvania. It was deemed a successful lure for bass. One variation Mr. Shiner used to imitate golden shiner for lake fishing was a gold bodied version of the fly. The gold version should also employ the diamond wrapped tread to give the fly an appearance of scaled. Bob converted the pattern to a hair wing version using black bear hair in the wing. The bear hair has a nice mild wave with dense roots that taper to the tips creating a nice full head that slopes naturally to the tail.

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.
