Cranking Out Streamers and Some Could Be YOURS!




As I mentioned in a post a couple of weeks ago, I have fully emersed myself in fly tying season.  I am tying flies almost every day and lately, I have been focusing on making streamers.  Specifically, I have been tying quite a few variants of my favorite streamer which I call The Brave.  This fly has a flutter from the color, a wiggle in the tail, and can be tied in some color combinations that resemble baitfish, bluegill, or shad.  The profile of this fly is small and unassuming so it looks like easy prey to a hungry predator...until the predator latches onto the Gamakatsu B10 S, size 1 hook...then they become the prey!

This is one of my go-to flies from spring to fall.  I can fish it on a sinking line to get really deep or on a floating line if I want to fish the shallows.  I have used this fly to catch largemouth bass, white bass, channel catfish, big bluegill, hybrid striped bass, and even a carp!  I have never thrown these flies for smallmouth bass but I have no doubt they would catch that species too and one of these days, I'm going to prove it.  

If you are interested in purchasing some of these streamers, feel free to visit my online store.  You can either purchase them a la carte or in an assortment that I just placed in the store.  If you think you need all three color combinations and a box to hold them, this might be just the item for you.  All of the flies that I sell are already tied and ready to be shipped so if you need these quickly (maybe as a Christmas gift) I can usually get them in the mail the day they are ordered or the next day at the latest.
