Originally a trout pattern, this “bassified” version has been one of Tim Holschlag’s favorite shallow-running patterns for 18 years. It’s lightly weighted with lead wire, and sinks slowly. It is excellent when fish are chasing minnows, and it’s absolutely deadly when fished with slow twitches for sluggish smallies. This pattern is also great for brown trout over 15 inches.
To get a dry Shenks to sink, squeeze it while holding it underwater.
Available in White, Black or Yellow

Tim Holschlag Signature Subsurface Flies
All of these flies have caught thousands of fish — smallmouth as well as other fresh and salt water species. Based on their weights and sink rates, these patterns cover shallow, mid-depth and deeper water situations. The various colors are those Tim has found to be effective under the widest variety of conditions. And they are not cheaply constructed imports like the flies most shops offer. Tim’s professional American tiers turn out durable flies of the highest quality.

Tim,
I love the Shenk’s Streamer. Do you have plans to add an olive color?
Thanks, Tillman P.
