Author's Note 

The Witch, also known as the Gray Witch, is one of several Witch patterns Carrie Stevens developed. Mrs. Stevens was also responsible for setting loose the Golden Witch, Green Witch, Water Witch and the Yellow Witch patterns. During the 1930’s, the streamers developed by Carrie Stevens accounted for 49 percent of the salmon caught and recorded at Upper Dam. The Witch was among that group of streamers to make their mark on the Rangeley salmon.
