Scott Biron Signature Series

Ewing Streamer Saddles, Hand-Picked by Scott Biron

Scott Biron has been tying and fishing northern New England since the 1960s. He teaches fly tying for New Hampshire Fish & Game and holds Master Artist status in the state’s Traditional Arts program. When Ewing put his name on a line of feathers, he picked the colors himself.

These are streamer saddles, not dry fly hackle. Each feather is long, narrow and straight with just enough web to hold a profile in the current. That’s the shape Rangeley-style streamers demand, from Carrie Stevens classics to modern smelt patterns for landlocked salmon and brook trout. The same feathers make clean, durable tails on saltwater Deceivers, Seaducers and tarpon flies.

The series runs 10 colors: Black, White, Olive, Claret, Dark Purple, Bright Purple, Green Chartreuse, Hot Pink, Orange and Silver Dr. Blue. Every patch is $31.88.
