Fly Tying: Galloup's Zoo Cougar (Multi-Cam)

Kelly Galloup's Zoo Cougar is one of the patterns that revolutionized the streamer game. At the time, it was seen as a large fly when most patterns were slender and typically made of bucktail or similar materials. The Zoo Cougar added bulk and more accurately represented the profile of a sculpin with the deer hair head and the unique trim of it. This is one of the patterns that laid the ground work for a lot of the patterns we see today.
