'Cats Whisker' is a very famous streamer/lure pattern and is used by fly
fishermen all over the world but do you know who invented it ??.



Try this:

The previous reference gave a dressing with only a wing of white marabou. It
should have a tail, as well. Apparently, the originator used white cat's
whiskers to stiffen the marabou in an attempt to prevent it wrappng round
and getting caught up around the hook bend.

Tight Lines,
