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.

The Barnes Special is an adaptation from a streamer called the Hurricane (aka the Wonder) created by Fred Fowler. The Barnes Special includes a yellow hackle in the wing, a change from a peacock sword throat to a wrapped white hackle and a change of head color from the Hurricane, from black to red. Mr. Barnes was a guide in the Sebago Lake area and was known to examine the stomach contents of his catches. The Barnes Special is one of the most popular Eastern streamers and is credited with the capture of thousands of salmon. It is said to be particularly effective when trolled in the spring.
Stewart's Hawk
Originated by Austin Hogan
Thread - Black
Tail - White bucktail
Body - Silver embossed tinsel
Wing - Small bunch of blue bucktail, reaching to the end of the tail. Over this, rather wide slips of any soft, streaked/mottle feather to imitate hawk (used on original)
Cheeks - Jungle cock
Stuart's Hawk is an Austin Hogan pattern. He created it for his friend and fellow angler Clarance "Cak" Stewart. It is responsible for taking a number of small mouth bass in the Northeastern United States and no doubt many trout have been fooled into grabbing hold. The wing was selected for its softness and for the motion imparted as it is stripped through the water, pulsing with a strip and pause. The original pattern called for hawk, but in all cases, it is now illegal to possess raptor feathers. Turkey tail, peacock wing or any mottled feather would work in place of the hawk.
