Red Trout Minnow Streamer
Tied by Don Bastian

This fly is the Red Trout Minnow pattern from Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing, by Joseph D. Bates.
Interesting! I have searched in the Bates book referenced by Don and did not find this pattern listed in the Index or an image in any of the Plates. Nice looking fly - but aren't they all.
