White Ghost Streamer

I don't see too many tutorials or step by step articles on how to properly tie up Carrie Stevens patterns. I did however find this wonderful photo tutorial by Eric Austin on tying the White Ghost (Thanks for not doing the Gray Ghost) using the pre-assembled wing technique. So while we wait for the start of the Streamers365 to begin, hopefully this can be a bit of a distraction and inspire a few to tie a few classics.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
