Notes: This is probably the most famous of many streamers designed by Carrie Stevens of Madison,Maine. Carrie, the wife of Maine Guide Wallace Stevens, took a break from her camp chores and tied a streamer which would resemble a small baitfish. She tied a bunch of white bucktail under the hook, and two olive-grey saddle hackles on top of the hook, then took her creation to the Upper Dam pool, where she promptly hooked a 6 lb, 13 oz brook trout. She entered this fish into a contest which was being held by Field and Stream, winning second prize, and upon receiving a flood of orders for her new pattern, she found herself in the flytying business. The Gray Ghost continues to be a very effective streamer pattern within many Sierran lakes. The Gray Ghost Special is a variation of the pattern mainly used with smaller hook sizes to offer a compact size. Most of the Sierran Fly shops will sell this pattern as a Gray Ghost since it is commercially tied in ample numbers. |
