HISTORY
It originated around the 1930's and with a few adapt ions in design it became very well liked productive streamer in
Northern California where it was mainly used for steelhead fishing. In the 1932 W.M. Mills & Sons catalog listed the
Mickey Finn simply as a red and yellow bucktail. A Fly fisherman called Gregory Clark called the fly the Assassin because
of its brook trout killing power. A couple of days later he renamed it 'The Mickey Finn' streamer.
