Carrie Stevens Lady Killer streamer is the last pattern in my recent series of Carrie Stevens flies. All in all, this is a very basic Carrie Stevens pattern. The tag, tail, rib, body, throat and wing are all very standard techniques Carrie used in her flies. There is no belly or underwing on this pattern, which are also very common on her flies so the Lady Killer is sort of a bare bones Stevens pattern. I enjoyed tying this fly and hope you will as well. - Enjoy.
