The Dalai Lama in Black is a #10 articulated streamer from Montana Fly Co., the smaller size of one of the most proven big-fish patterns ever tied. A trailing stinger hook connected behind the front hook gives the rabbit-strip body a serpentine, undulating swim, and the heavy conehead sinks it fast into deep runs and slots. The all-black colorway throws a strong silhouette and reads as a leech or sculpin in low light and stained water. Swing it on a tight line or strip it back with pauses through runs and under banks — a legendary pattern for trout and other predators.
