Wow, that’s a nice streamer! Would be good on Brown Trout too I think!
Best wishes and Happy New Year!

Well thank you, sir! Would love to swim a version of it on the Upper Deschutes for some of those wily old browns. Best to you in the New Year!

Thank you, Mike. Once I found some red fox squirrel with that good length, I knew what I wanted to do!
