Rob G Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Well done, would love to see the new wider version of the Shannon's movement in water. Curious too how well it sheds water and its ease of casting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Durham Posted March 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Really appreciate you demonstrating the Shannon Streamer for us Rich! We had 15 members participate live and via zoom. Your grandson Tony is an impressive tier already. This looks like a killer spring season smallmouth fly and I'm breaking out the vice to tie up a few for my local river!
