Notes

A large leech-style streamer tied on an intruder wire stinger that is removed from the shank after tying so it can be reattached for fishing. Dean Mitchell has relied on it for over 20 years for bull trout, steelhead, salmon and coastal cutthroat, including a 37-inch bull trout on the Columbia River near Golden. Optional barbell eyes can be added for more weight.
