The Parr None streamer is a great streamer pattern for early spring in the midwest, or any river with a migration of Salmon Parr. Brown Trout, Steelhead, Pike, and any other predator fish will focus on the Salmon Parr (both Chinook and Coho) as they migrate down the river system. You can tie your Parr None pattern in a variety of colors, depending on water conditions. By simply changing up the Ice Dub material and Rabbit Fur. Make sure to try Blue and Chartreuse combinations.
