Author's Note
Originated by Jim Malo
Jim's cache of original streamers includes several with the complex streamer bodies in the tradition of Herb Welch's classic streamers. Jim has used the Northern Delight to fish many of Maine's storied lakes such as Rangeley Lake, Sebago Lake and Penobscot Lake. The pattern has been responsible for taking many trout and landlocked salmon over the years. Jim has tested the pattern throughout Canada, Maine and Massachusetts with similar positive results in each local. Jim ties the pattern sparse using only 2 hackles in the wing and just a smattering of bucktail in the belly.
