Virginia and West Virginia have musky, and the musky have attitudes. This articulated streamer is nine inches of rabbit strip, flash, and ambition tied to a trailing hook because musky eat flies from behind with the table manners of a predator that has never been told no. The James River and New River systems hold muskellunge that will straighten your hooks and redecorate your reel's drag system, and this fly is the invitation to that particular brand of heartbreak. Casting it on a 10-weight rod is a workout. Landing a musky on it is a life event.
