It’s a jungle out there. Predators with sharp teeth are on the loose in the fading light ;0) Ok… I know that even the most badass monster trout don’t eat tigers… but wtf :0) This fly was inspired by an image i had in my head… of a pretty fierce man-eating tiger. And there’s just something about this combination of yellow & orange versus black & white that makes this fly highly visible under most conditions. At the same time looks kind of sneaky and deadly. And the music? Well streamer fishing is pretty rock’n’roll and… so are tigers. Anyway trout really like the Strip Tiger – and I’m pretty sure most other predators will as well: Bass, pike, musky comes to mind. Tie some tigers… and let me know :0)
