posted on other forum, i'm new on this one, will try to post new tying... 😉 [/img]
Darren, I love your Streamer you posted today. The colour combo is stunning and I am definately going to tie one of these to try out this Fall.
Beautiful tie, Don. Love those staggered lace hackles.
Sweet fly Darren. Almost like the wings are on fire.
Really liking this idea of yours sir
Thanks Keith! I appreciate the feedback and thanks for looking. I hope that you are enjoying the project so far.

Very beautiful streamer Darren, the blending of colors really pops, A+++
Thanks Gary!
Can't wait to get all these wonderful streamers shared.
Sweet streamer, Darren. I really like the way you have blended the colors of the wing. Quite striking!
Tom,
Quite an amazing place. I know a few anglers who have been fishing there (out of 500 allowed a year!). Bring both fly rod and snorkel!
But one thing that stuck from the video was the fact tha 90% of the world's sharks have been killed! That's devastating and definitely somthing that will affect the fish ecology in the world. Ban shark fin soup now!
Like they say: heavy commercial fishing is the cause of so much damage!
Thanks for the tip.

Nice looking recipe I will have to try
Happy New Year and a great 2012 to you Martin
Hi Harold,
I fish Straight Shores,Dingleys and N.W. River area the most..
I try to stay away from the Songo River crowd on the weekends....
See you out there Tight Lines Steve
Don, your Psychedelic Skunk is one of the most beautiful streamers that I have seen. Your selection of materials is wonderful.
Sick looking streamer dude with that badass feather.
The flies are beautiful, but way beyond my abilities. I'll keep looking, though.

Hi Gert,
Thanks for your nice words, see you at the club!
Kind regards,
Tom.
I also troll heavily on Sebago l. for "OUR" LL Salmon.
I have a place in Naples, belong to Sebago Lake Anglers Assoc. , enjoy fly tying Bucktail streamers and our great state in general.
My CB handle on the boat is Jack Rabbit, so if you hear me please give me a shout!
Look forward to seeing some of your ties.
Harold
Very nice job Peter, I love it on that Sealey hook...
Ok... I give up... What is the purpose of the "looped eye hook"?
Same purpose, but you can also use to the loop to better secure material to the hook. Some tyers use the loop as a spot to place bucktail or feather stems. You pry the loop open slightly, put in your bucktail or feather, and the close the loop with tying thread and it makes a really durably fly. For streamers such as these, I find it makes a mice platform to sit the wing on rather than just a round shank. The better (nicer) hooks have a tapered loop so that the loop doesn't create a lot of extra bulk.
JR,
Good piece of detective work! It certainly was a nice and scenic place, and I'm sure you will get it to yourself, because as I remember it, it was quite remote and it wasn't exactly littered with signposts revealing its existence.
Hope you will have as nice a time there as I had.

… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
