When Fish and Game’s executive director and chief law enforcement officer were in North Country Angler, a discussion broke out about the warden’s Worry and the Supervisor flies. To be honest, it had been quite sometime since I had even thought about those two highly effective patterns for trout and salmon.

I decided to go to the bookshelf and reacquaint myself with those patterns. The Warden’s Worry was one of my earliest bucktail streamers that I fished and I tied. Dick Surette had introduced that fly to me.
