The Madonna, in a variety of colors, is a “must have” fly for every streamer angler's box. The chartreuse color, tied with a little extra flash, is a very good streamer for largemouth bass. The Madonna is also available in a cone-head version. Tied on Tiemco 300 chemically sharpened streamer hooks, barbed or de-barbed.
