Marster's Cat Toy

This month's fly is the Marsters' Cat Toy. This big streamer was created by Steve Marsters of Rangeley. It is a pattern that evolved over time as it was tested and tried in our area rivers. Steve ties it for the shop in four different colors. The pieces that put this pattern together and make it work are all geared towards imitating that famous rainbow smelt. I will use this fly as we are finishing up at a pool to move the big one out of it's hiding place.
