Gold Digger
Streamer Fly
Tail – Red and yellow hackle feather, opposed
Ribbing – Red floss
Body – White chenille
Wing – White bucktail
Cheek – Jungle cock
Collar – red and yellow hackle
This streamer. fly was originally tied for rainbow trout but in a larger size took a great many bass last season, so it was dubbed the Gold Digger. Daintily dressed, it is not reminiscent of feminine pulchritude, but a deceptive siren always.
1930s (fishandboat.com) Aug 1939
