I'll have you know, that your "Deadly
Streamers" arrived safely here in Maine yesterday afternoon.
Very very nice workmanship here, well balanced. Maine
will never be the same now, and you will be held
responsible.hehheh.
The Golden Girls are beautiful indeed, and the "Real Deal"
with the jungle (male rooster) is a +++. If it wasn't
for the molded body, which has been nicely incorporated
(read balanced), there would be no mistaken these
critters for anything but a truly classic & well tied
streamer fly. They've melded together in a way that only an
angler could appreciate.
It's nice to
hear from a customer and like I've said before, pictures are
most welcome. Andy and his son, Evan had a good trip and the
following is an email and some pictures of their trip.
George,
I tried out your Deadly Streamer on the AuSable river last
weekend and
wanted to give you a report on the results. My son,
Evan (12yrs old)
and I started at the DNR site north of Lovell's. After two
unsuccessful
hours of fly fishing we decided to pull out the ultra light
rod. We
tied on a golden girl and did some practice casts. We
proceeded to a
good looking log jam/undercut that Evan saw earlier.
On his first cast
a huge brown trout followed the streamer out, but did not
take it. On
the second cast a smaller trout followed the streamer.
His third cast
got snagged in a tree behind the hole. When I
retrieved the lure I saw
the big brown snag the smaller trout. Unfortunately,
we did not get
that big brown, but we were hooked. Over two days of
fishing, we
turned many nice size trout and caught two browns, both 15"
in length, . And both days we were fishing in bright
sunshine. Evan caught the first one at Dam 4 on the
North Branch and the next day I caught one at Potter's
Landing on the South Branch.
Andy
Thank you for your prompt service and
great products.

Portions of a letter received from another fisherman who
learned to use the Deadly Streamer as a kid.
Dear George,
I grew up in Hartland Michigan in the days where a trip to
Fenton (and for me to your father's taxidermy and fishing
pro shop) was the high point of my existence growing up in
the 1960s. Glen was always kind to me and allowed me to
loiter in the shop. I did of course learn to use the Deadly
Streamer with his consultation and during my teen years
landed the biggest brown trout of my life fishing the
AuSable Main Branch above the bridge east of Grayling. More
than that however, he got me started fly tying and set me up
with my first fly fishing outfit. These are things I yet
love to this very day!
There were a number of years where I never missed his
outdoor column in the Fenton Independent. Also I have a
pheasant that I shot on our 40 acres down Fenton Road in
1968 which your Dad did the taxidermy for.
It yet sits at my own Dad's house (still on the old 40
acres) at least for a little while yet as old Pop turns 90
this March. I have wondered what to do with it, and have
hesitated to bring it out here to Arizona where I have spent
the past 25 years. It somehow seems wrong to remove it from
Michigan. And it has been many a year since a single
pheasant has lived in the old eastern Livingston County
area. Any appropriate museum or other collector you could
suggest that would be interested in this historical relic as
a donation would be welcome!
So I will be back to order up some streamer cards. Need them
for myself and for my friend who I grew up fishing with and
is these days the City Attorney of Showlow, Arizona.
Thank you for continuing your father's legacy over all these
years! All the best to you sir!

This
following paragraph is from another correspondence I
received from Rob Olding.
I wanted to share with you the
response I received from my life long friend and fishing
buddy (another Hartland boy) who is the City Attorney of
Show Low Arizona when I sent him an email telling him
I had discovered your website and the availability of the
Deadly Streamer. He is a man of few words for a lawyer!
There is a God….
