I think you will do quite well on small streams.

I am all ears if you tie some up and fish them and catch some fish. Fish them with confidence.

Even though the Stayner Ducktail was designed to represent a Perch in lake fishing situations, obviously, it has had plenty of success in some of the better rivers, too. Don't know if you have any Cutthroat trout down your way, but, it is a superb Cutthroat fly!Mel Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15787242134608887555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145376611552561787.post-81158682527987905852014-05-29T20:52:39.151-06:002014-05-29T20:52:39.151-06:00A lot of fish, Howard.

It has just enough body to stay right below the surface to attract some savage takes.
