Notes: Years ago while tying flies at a trade show Charlie was approached by a Vermont guide who took clients fishing on Lake Champlain. He gave Charlie a pinkish colored streamer pattern he had called a Booker Special. Charlie modified the pattern and christened it the Champlain Jane in recognition of the Vermont guide. The streamer has been quite a fish getter over the years and has found more than a few kypes on the Miramichi River when tied on a salmon hook
