David Mac – I have been tying flies since 1964 and it has brought me, countless hours of enjoyment. As a young guest at the United Fly Tyers meetings in Boston, MA I was introduced to Streamers by many of the Great Tyers. In the 1970′s I spent a decade providing streamers to many of the best Maine Fly Shops and Camps.

Beautiful fly DMAC.
David,
That is perhaps the most spectacular color combination on a streamer I have ever seen. Something about it resonates with me. Great job!
