    Default GIERACH SPECIAL Swap

    I thought it might be fun to tie John Gierach's streamer as described in TROUT BUM
    and was hoping there wouldn't be a pic of one on the net...no such luck!
    http://www.danica.com/flytier/bobpetti/bobpetti.htm
    Still it might be fun if we can get 6-12 tyers to compare their interpretation of the original or a
    variation like the one shown in the link.

    G. SPECIAL as described "a body of Pearl flashabou piping is wound on a weighted, long-shanked streamer hook.
    The beard is a sparse white bucktail tied just past the bend of the hook. The wing is
    a medium bunch of gray-squirrel tail tied just a tad longer than the beard, with a topping
    of 6-8 strands of pearl flashabou under 6-8 strands of peacock herl. The head is a salmon-egg-red
    with black-on-white painted eyeballs."


    If any interest...sign-up by March 2nd in the mail to me by March 23rd.
