Here is the latest Carrie Stevens stream and it is the Shiner. Carrie Stevens had a number of bucktail patterns that she was known for. Bucktail flies were very popular so she came up with a few flies that were very productive. The Shiner is one of the simplest of her patterns as well as of most of the bucktail streamers. --Enjoy
