Gold Digger

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
