Hurricane


Hurricane

Hook - Mustad 3907B #2 (or any 9xl streamer hook)

Thread - Black

Tail - 2 jungle cock body feathers 

Body - Silver flat tinsel 

Rib - Silver oval tinsel 

Throat - 8-10 peacock sword fibers 

Wing - A small bunch of red bucktail under a small bunch of white bucktail under 2 grizzly hackles 

Originated by Fred Fowler

The Hurricane was designed by an Oquossoc, Maine angler named Fred Fowler. The pattern is also known as the Wonder and was used as the basis for the more celebrated Barnes Special which was developed by Dr. C. Lowell Barnes. There is enough difference in the patterns that many anglers prefer one over the other when trolling for salmon in the Rangeley Lakes
