A classic, high-contrast baitfish streamer that pulls aggressive strikes. The Black Ghost’s sleek black-and-white wing, lively tail, and bright head accents throw a crisp baitfish silhouette that shines in low light and lightly stained water—equally at home on rivers and stillwaters.

How to fish it
In rivers, swing across current seams or strip–pause–strip along banks and pocket edges; let the fly hang briefly to trigger follows. In lakes, count down to depth and use varied retrieves (short pops to long pulls) along drop-offs and weed lines. Use 2–4X tippet; add a sink-tip or poly leader to probe deeper lanes.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing. Smooth wing fibers and check the hook point regularly.
