Canary


Canary

Hook - Partridge CS15 #2 

Thread - White flat waxed nylon 

Tag - Silver flat tinsel 

Tail - Black hackle fibers 

Body - Silver flat tinsel 

Belly - Yellow bucktail 

Throat - Yellow hackle fibers 

Wing - 4 yellow hackles 

Eye - Jungle cock nail 

Head - Black (with orange band) 

The Canary is another example of a simple Carrie Stevens streamer pattern. There also exists a Canary Custom pattern which loses the tail and substitutes the all silver body with an orange floss body ribbed with silver tinsel. This is a simple streamer to tie as these things go, and the only thing to keep an eye on is the tail. Tying the tail can cause a bit of a bump in the body, but by adding a bit extra material along the top of the hook shank, this will keep the underbody uniform along the length of the shank.
