Felt the need to tie - albinotrout - 05-04-2013
Call it what you will but I got a trip planned Monday to chase toothy critters and found I was a little short on flies. So I tied some up. It's been about 13 years since I tied these patterns and they look better than the first time I tried.

Those are some good lookin flies you tied there. Considering I have only been tying my own for a few weeks now.......I would be proud if my version turned out as good as those.

I can tell you these look a lot better than the batch I first tied 13+ years ago. Haven't tied them since until yesterday. Although practice over the years probably helped. [

Streamers can be ties from any number of materials. It all depends upon the streamer you want to tie. Most streamers imitate some kind of fish. Maribou is a great streamer material. Woolly buyers are a streamer made from maribou. Others like these that I tied imitate perch, bluegill, and pumpkinseed. These I used an imitation material called enricos sea fibers. Other streamers require different colors of feathers or a mix of the two. The attached photo shows many different streamers. Some tied with feathers, some with fur, and others with man made materials.

A lot of streamers imitate LEECHES. As the egg sucking leech in your picture.
Streamers can be Bunny (Zonker Strips) plus there are other strips like possum, squirrel. etc.
Synthetic, like Angel Hair, etc
Chenille and Marabou
Deer hair as in Clousers which are a multi tasking fly
Feathers, wool....

Yes[
]. A streamer imitates anything that swims. Gotta love streamers. I tied one up for my daughter to her specs a couple years ago. I'll gave to find a pic of it.[signature]
