Ballou Special

This classic featherwing streamer originating from Litchfield Maine by A.W. Ballou has been credited by some tiers as the originating marabou streamer.  Regardless of whether that is the case, this particular fly although simple is one heck of a fish catcher and one that I was made aware of in my twenties.  This is the original color combination but a variety of color schemes similar to many others that I offer will work.
