The zoo cougar and the madonna

[JustFish]

I know how to tie a zoo cougar which is from what I am hearing a very good pattern. I also hear the Madonna is a good pattern. Anyone know how to tie a Madonna? Kinda fruity name for a streamer but if it works it works, right?

yellow is good...you can also tie with stacked deer hair heads (when using sink tips), but I prefer wool

I guess Madonna is easier to remember than Conehead Zonker Muddler...good find.

Take a muddler add bunny to the back and you have either pattern basically..try with yellow,red,black,olive deer hair...just tie them long 3" or longer.. Oh wait thats a spuddler...

I've got a box full. If you don't get around to tying or buying, I'd be happy to swap a few patterns at the jam. I just caught a few nice browns on spring with them the other week. I was bustin' justfish's balls because he didn't have any, and didn't seem too familiar with the pattern.

Jay, make sure you have plenty busters with you in Jul. Black is great, tie some natural squirle and a few olives. Also, make sure you have some big ones (2) too. While you are at it, tie some size 2 Zoo Cougars as well. Make sure you tie enough for Don too...
