Notes: Several variation of this fly exist all based on the original Grey Ghost (Stevens). The collection of Ora Smith flies in Trolling Flies for Trout and Salmon represents just a tiny fraction of the flies he tied over his career. For anyone interested in seeing more of his streamer should check out Art of Angling Journal, Volume 2, Issue 1 for a large collection of his work. Glenn has put together an amazing set of 12 Ora Smith streamers as his contribution to the Streamers 365 project. We will be auctioning them all together as a set near the end of the project.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.

I love the use of materials, and colors. Looks like a huge fish getter to me.
