paulrs 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2004 I'm looking for the pattern for the Champlain Jane fly. It's a smelt imatation for salmon in the Lake Champlain region. I've seen it listed in several guide books but can't find the pattern. Thanks, Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted February 21, 2004 Paul, I've never heard of that fly, but I have a couple of sources you can check. First would be Raske's New England Streamer site; Streamers Second, there is a Yahoo Group for streamers that you can check out. The guys in that group know a lot about the New England style. And finally, contact Bryant Freeman at Eskape Anglers, Bryant is the most amazing tyer I know and has been tying streamers for fifty years. Let me know what you find out.

flytire 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 its not a charteuse jane by any chance? http://www.fish307.com/anglerscustomtandem...treusejane.aspx or the champlain smelt http://www.fish307.com/anglerscustomtandem...plainsmelt.aspx from the web We've been having good success with a tube fly with a 00 Dodger or an Abe and Al #8 flasher. Run 'em anywhere between 10 and 25 feet down on the down rigger. The platters that we've had success with are the 9-3 Mickey Finn, Joe Smelt, and Champlain Jane. At this time these tube flies are available only at the Classic Outfitters in the Staples Plaza in Burlington. Good luck out there and hope to see 'ya on the water. try calling classic outfitters in burlington Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
