Streamers and Bucktails - Joseph D Bates Jr
The streamer originated in Chile and was widely used as fodder for South
American quarry. The pattern made its way north via a fly dresser in New York
named Elizabeth Greig. Mrs. Greig tied the pattern for South American customers
and tested the usefulness of the fly in her home state waters. It was proven to
be a successful pattern for trout in New York State.
