I just updated the Roadkill Streamers page, first published in Rod and
Reel 2/15/85, and still one of the 1/2 dozen
best big fish flies ever devised, and so fast and easy to tie you
don't even need a vise. In fact you can't really use a vise, even
if you want. You have to make this fly in your hands. Takes all of
about a minute or two.

Nobody knows about this fly because, well, I'm not sure why.
I don't go to fishing shows and I don't write books (not yet anway).
So I guess it's a marketing thing. But I do maintain, with confidence
and without doubt, that this (the Roadkill Streamer) is indeed one
of the very best big fish flies there is.
