Reclamation

Too-small-of-a-hook-pike-streamer that I tied years ago when I was even more of a jackass than I am now:

Trim zonker strip, remove most of flash, add drab soft hackle, cover head in chenille, mottle the whole deal with black prismacolor:

Serviceable carp fly. My plan here is to pick through my BWCA box and transform all these weak pike/smallie flies into decent carp fare. Then supplement carp flies and tie new BWCA streamers with big ass hook gaps.
