The Grey Ghost was first tied in 1924 by commercial fly tyer Carrie G. Stevens of Madison, Maine. Carrie tied many other flies in the Rangeley style during her free time, and many of her patterns featured a cheek of jungle cock. One of the most famous streamer patterns of all time, The Grey Ghost is still a popular choice as a baitfish imitation for trout and many other game fish.
