Notes: This is the last Ora Smith fly in the collection. I love the ringer for, well, the ring on the head. It's another simple (effective) casting streamer with a little quirk. Glenn has put together an amazing set of 12 Ora Smith streamers as his contribution to the Streamers 365 project. We will be auctioning them all together as a set near the end of the project.
