Inspired by John Farrar's White Skagit Spey from the Trey Combs bible. This is more of a streamer than a spey, with longer hackle tip wings and thick marabou palmered from the tail (the marabou tip) Great swimming action with a sinking leader or greased line, Charlie has the proof on film from the Gorge.   The ladderback J-Plug version for snagging on the Salmon. Highlander green under wing, also great with purple tips under the grizzly.  Hair wing - black squirrel  Steve K. |

Thanks man,
I am always open to critique, so if you have any comments, let me know.
When I look at them, I always find little things to change, and it reminds me to use 37 coats of head cement like Charlie does ;D
But I fish them all
