Birds + Flies Series
Featuring seasonal warblers you’re likely to encounter in the woods + waters of Maine, this series celebrates classic streamer patterns in playful relationship with birds of similar palette.
Common Yellowthroat Warbler
Geothlypis trichas: males sing a clear witchety-witchety-witchety song from undergrowth and low lying branches, females answer with a deep chuck. Find them looking for bugs and other snacks under fallen leaves, thorny bushes, and other groundcover.
Sipping coffee in the morning sun and watching these little bandits rustle beneath undergrowth among raspberry brambles— maybe the best way to wake up.

Colonel Bates Streamer
Designed by Carrie Stevens and named in honor of Colonel Joseph D. Bates, and renamed each time he climbed the ranks in the military. This pattern was a favorite of Carrie (behind the gray ghost) and is proven to function in both fresh and saltwater — though designed with landlocked salmon in mind. The Colonel utilizes a mix of tinsel, red duck feather, brown and yellow hackle, teal breast feather, and jungle cock for the eye.
