The Silver Dart

Who Knows?

 

We don’t know how the old river flows, oh-no

We don’t know how the old river flows, oh-no

Our research shows that she goes and goes

Startin’ in the highs and flowin’ to the lows

We’ll never know how the old river flows, oh-no!

 

We don’t know how the old river flows, oh-no

We don’t know how the old river flows, oh-no

We might get where the old river flows

If we follow the shags, seagulls and crows

We’ll never know how the old river flows, oh-no!

 

Children know how the old river flows, un-huh

Children know how the old river flows, yeh-yeh

In their little boat they rows and rows

Divin’ and swimmin’ without any clothes

Children know how the old river flows, yeh-yeh!

 

Fish they know how the old river flows, un-huh

Fish they know how the old river flows, yeh-yeh

If the water is good and the fish they grows

Leapin’ and splashin’ where the salmon pool slows

Fish they know how the old river flows, yeh-yeh!

 

Fishermen know how the old river flows, un-huh

Fishermen know how the old river flows, yeh-yeh

We learned from the fish how the old river flows

Rememberin’ precious times with the people we knows

We’ve studied hard how the old river flows, yeh-yeh!

 

Fishermen know how the old river flows, un-huh

Fishermen know how the old river flows, yeh-yeh

We throws our flies where the old river flows

And floats them right over a big salmon’s nose

Teachin’ us well how the old river flows, yeh-yeh!

 

Silver Dart

 

Hook:               Any long shank, straight eye hook sizes 1/0 – 2,

                        Silver “Good Vibrations” propeller between head & hook eye

This is a new name and updated design for a very old and effective concept – the propeller trolling streamer!

Please note that the addition of metallic propellers to our flies makes them “weighted flies”, illegal for some waters, such as the St. Mary’s River, after May 25th.
