Description

The Pink Lady Orange is a classic hairwing streamer featuring a bright orange-and-yellow profile with silver flash for strong visibility in the water. For brook trout, landlocked salmon and other predatory cold-water gamefish.

Design and tied in Canada 

Why This Pattern Works

The Pink Lady Orange combines a highly visible warm-colour wing with the flash and elongated profile of a traditional streamer. Orange and yellow provide strong contrast, while the silver body and natural movement of the wing create the suggestion of a fleeing baitfish. Rather than being a precise forage imitation, it is best viewed as an attractor-style streamer with baitfish characteristics.

Fishing Notes

Target Species
Landlocked Salmon and Brook Trout
Forage Represented
General baitfish / attractor streamer — suggests small smelt, minnows and other slender forage fish rather than representing one specific species.
How To Fish It
Cast the Pink Lady Orange across likely holding water and fish it on the swing, adding short strips or controlled retrieves In lakes and ponds, work it along points, shoreline structure and drop-offs with a steady retrieve, or troll it when searching for brook trout and landlocked salmon. Its bright coloration makes it particularly worth trying in lower light or slightly stained water, while varying retrieve speed can help determine how aggressively fish want the fly presented.

Pattern Notes

1. Body Tubing — Durability

After the body tubing has been wrapped and secured, apply a thin coat of clear head cement and allow it to dry completely before proceeding. This reinforces the tubing and produces a more durable body structure.

2. Securing the Body Tubing

After securing the tubing to the hook shank with tying thread, apply a small drop of CA (cyanoacrylate) glue to the tie-down wraps. This helps prevent the tubing from rotating around the hook shank as subsequent materials are applied.

3. Nayat Hair Wing — Head Construction

Taper-cut the butt ends of successive Nayat Hair wing layers before securing them. This helps build a smooth, progressively tapered head while providing a firm, even foundation for the stick-on eyes.

4. Head Finish — Protective Topcoat

After the UV resin has been fully cured, apply a final thin coat of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails. This preserves the glossy appearance of the UV-finished head while adding a durable protective topcoat.

5. Nayat Hair Wing — Preparation

Before tying in the Nayat Hair, comb out the underfur and straighten the remaining fibres using a few gentle passes with a steam iron. Lightly dampen the hair patch before applying steam to help relax and straighten the fibres.

Some Nayat Hair patches may be more difficult to straighten than others. This variation is a normal characteristic of the natural material and may require additional preparation to achieve the desired wing profile.

6. Shoulder Wing — Feather Selection and Placement

Select a grizzly hackle feather of sufficient length to allow the shoulder wing to be trimmed to the desired profile while positioning the tie-in point toward the lower portion of the feather. The stem is generally stronger and more stable in this area, reducing its tendency to roll or twist when secured with tying thread.
