| There are three streamers in the Trout Fin series; The Harlequin, in blue, black and white, the Trout Fin, as dressed above and a second version of the Trout Fin, where orange is substituted for the red. All were originated by Mr. B.A. Gulline of Fin, Fur, and Feather Limited. The orange and red versions were first tied in 1929 for Mr. B.A. Gulline by Mr. Frier Gulline. The orange version differs from the red version in that it has a throat of red hackle fibers rather than the cream badger. Anglers with whom these patterns are favorites prefer the red version for fishing in Canada, in the belief that it more closely approximates the color of the Canadian Trout, which often are called Red Trout because of their high coloration. The orange version usually is used in the United States, where the trout ordinarily are less pronounced in color. |
