Last Saturday at Rainbow Fly Shop, Ryan Walker of Ozark Smallmouth Alliance Guides and Outfitters put on a seminar on tying streamers. The two biggest things that I took away from this seminar was to consider what a streamer does when it is moving and when it isn't. Ryan referred to this as altitude and attitude. Does the streamer sink or rise when it is stopped? Does the turn or stay tuned to the same direction when it is stopped? How does the streamer move when it is stripped slowly and how does that differ from when it is twitched? These are great observations that not only fly tyers need to consider, but things that anyone that fishes a streamer should pay attention to. Sometimes it is nice to be reminded to pay attention to the details and to step back and focus on the little things! Thank you Ryan for putting on a great seminar. It is with good reason that many folks have referred to you as one of the best fishing guides in Missouri!
