Overview
Built for anglers who want a streamer that can be worked deep, this pattern is intended for swinging through holes, runs, and pools where larger fish hold. Its darting action and dual-hook setup are designed to move through the water column in a way that draws attention across a broad stretch of water, making it a practical choice for covering structure and deeper lanes. It is best paired with a six-weight rod or heavier, and the color suggestions provided are firetiger or white for bass, with white and olive noted for trout. The trade-off is straightforward: it is a big fly meant for committed streamer fishing, so it suits anglers prepared to fish deeper water and accept the risk that comes with probing snag-prone areas.

Specifications
| Long Description | They call me MeeMaw. Serious streamer junkies rely on big flies designed to swing deep, plunging runs similar to how down home southern folks rely on their MeeMaws for advice and Sunday dinners; there is no more fitting name for this one. Originally tied for a bull trout expedition, the MeeMaw works deep holes, runs, and pools like your crazy uncle works the pool tables at biker dive bars across town -- by covering a range of territory, catching the attention of the biggest brutes in sight, and a risk of losing the whole thing in unknown spots. Family analogies aside, the MeeMaw and the Cooter Brown are the yin to the other's yang. The prior is the ultimate streamer for working structure while the latter is best used for covering a large, deep area of water. It has a large hook in the front with a small stinger in the back, and its darting action will catch the attention of suspecting fish across the run as it jigs and sweeps up and down through the water column. The MeeMaw is best thrown on a six-weight rod or heavier. Firetiger or white for bass, and white and olive for trout. |

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for deep-water streamer presentations, so it is less suited to shallow or highly precise fishing situations.
- Its larger profile and darting action are intended to cover structure and water column depth, which can mean more risk of snagging or losing the fly in unknown spots.
- Best used on a six-weight rod or heavier, so lighter setups may not be an ideal match.
- Color guidance is specific to certain targets—Firetiger or white for bass, white and olive for trout—so selection may depend on the species and water you’re fishing.
