Easter Morning - what do fish think of pastel colors? The secret here is in the wing. When the fly gets wet, the feather combination in the wing gives me just the color I want. The pale pink cheek laid over gray feather and seen through the yellow hackle creates a unique color. Not yet fished, but I rate it one of my top three streamers.

The Southern Cross - Lots to look at here. Like looking at the night sky. Plenty of white on black. Notice when the light hits the black holographic flashabou and creates stars.

The Prism - What would a streamer look like when viewed through a prism? A combination of 6 colors of bucktail with enough space built in to let the water do its work. There is no purple in the fly but purple is rendered from the blue and the red. The fly looks different depending on whether you look at it from the front, side and rear.

Solar Storm - This one is hot with it's hot orange hackles enveloped by yellow dyed grizzly. The hot orange hackles should be slightly larger so that the grizzly is surrounded by the hot orange glow. A violet floss cheek blends nicely. Two strips of blue and yellow macaw top the fly.

Foxfur - the streamer is too heavily dressed to let the water do it's work. The emphasis here is on silhouette. The texture of natural fur is hard to beat.

Wispy - The natural color of light dun over white marabou with a chuckar feather providing some nice natural markings. Two strands of silver flashabou on each side would turn it into a nice shiner. Meant to be fished with the strip and pause method to let the water do its work. Light enough to suspend in the water lke the natural minnow. Eyes become an important part of the fly when it is paused and suspending.
