Notes: Tony tied his creation based on the classic Atlantic salmon fly of the same name. The fly dates back to the 1800's and the name was taken from a place in the Scottish countryside. The fly was designed to fish the famous waters of the Helmsdale River and in it's height of popularity was included in Hardy's top 12 salmon patterns. Given it's color scheme, the streamer is an excellent producing fly when used as an attractor smelt trolling pattern.

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.
