Start the thread at the rear edge of the lead wraps and cover the lead and the shank back to the bend. Shove the lead wraps into the back of the cone. Wrap lead wire ten to twenty turns around the shank behind the cone. Wing: Dyed Pine Squirrel Zonker Strip, oliveĬollar: Dyed Pine Squirrel Strip wrapped like hackle Rib: Brassie Sized Ultra-Wire, color of your choice, (chartreuse used here) Tie some of these up in a few different colors and sizes (don’t overlook the size tens) and throw them the next time you’re out on an overcast day. Other variations include natural and white. I like this fly in olive, black and rusty brown. Long, slow strips are sometimes the answer while fast and furious produces at other times. The speed and cadence of the retrieve is varied until the fish show their preference. I cast it toward the bank and retrieve with erratic strips. I like to fish this fly with a floating line and stout leader. I prefer this pattern to the Zonker because of its ease of tying and durability. The Slumpbuster is heavily weighted at the front end to create a fish attracting jigging action in the water and its matuka-style fur strip wing breathes seductively without fouling. This fly is one of the few NEW streamer patterns that are actually something more than a Wooly Bugger variation. The Slumpbuster is yet another piscatorial creation from John Barr.

Roland Barthes starts out by saying that a photograph is a message without a code. Nevertheless his short essay “The Photographic Message” (published in the book Image, Music, Text) offers also some very interesting reflections on visual images and what they tell us. Barthes’ work Camera Lucida – along with On Photography by Susan Sontag – is probably the most important book written about the nature image taking. His books and essays are standard reading in every university teaching photography as well as for every photographer looking for theoretical reference on the subject.
