November Flies from the Vise

Stewart's Hawk

Originated by Austin Hogan

Hook - Streamer 4xl
Thread - Black
Tail - White bucktail
Body - Silver embossed tinsel
Wing - Small bunch of blue bucktail, reaching to the end of the tail. Over this, rather wide slips of any soft, streaked/mottle feather to imitate hawk (used on original)
Cheeks - Jungle ****

Stuart's Hawk is an Austin Hogan pattern. He created it for his friend and fellow angler Clarance "Cak" Stewart. It is responsible for taking a number of small mouth bass in the Northeastern United States and no doubt many trout have been fooled into grabbing hold. The wing was selected for its softness and for the motion imparted as it is stripped through the water, pulsing with a strip and pause. The original pattern called for hawk, but in all cases, it is now illegal to possess raptor feathers. Turkey tail, peacock wing or any mottled feather would work in place of the hawk.

i just used a spot of gorilla super glue to hold the jungle cock feather to the silver pheasant feather. probably not what a purist would use and i'm not one of those

no expert here either

Ah Ha!! Thanks Norm. Using super glue will help me with an issue I'm dealing with.

Hurricane

Hook - Mustad 3907B #2 (or any 9xl streamer hook)
Thread - Black
Tail - 2 jungle **** body feathers
Body - Silver flat tinsel
Rib - Silver oval tinsel
Throat - 8-10 peacock sword fibers
Wing - A small bunch of red bucktail under a small bunch of white bucktail under 2 grizzly hackles

Originated by Fred Fowler

The Hurricane was designed by an Oquossoc, Maine angler named Fred Fowler. The pattern is also known as the Wonder and was used as the basis for the more celebrated Barnes Special which was developed by Dr. C. Lowell Barnes. There is enough difference in the patterns that many anglers prefer one over the other when trolling for salmon in the Rangeley Lakes

Champs Special Streamer

Hook - Edgar Sealey & Sons 1762.B, #5
Thread - Black
Tail - Red floss
Body - Silver flat tinsel
Rib - Silver oval tinsel
Belly - A small bunch of white bucktail over 4-5 peacock herls
Underwing - A small bunch of yellow bucktail
Wing - 4 grizzly hackles

Originated by Frank Congdon

The pattern was designed by Mr. Frank Congdon from Middletown, Connecticut and was named
for his wife. The yellow bucktail in the underwing was sometimes substituted with 2 golden pheasant crests, so the bucktail should also be kept sparse. The pattern was given to the Weber Tackle Company.
