Tying with Woodduck Flank - Streamers
By Bob Petti

streamers make for a wonderful combination of craft
and art. As functional as they are beautiful, they are
starting to get more attention among fly tyers and anglers.
This sample of a Grizzly Prince was inspired by some
flies sent to me in a swap by my friend Lindsey Grandison.
I find the combination of colors and materials particularly
attractive.

Our
resident streamer guru Bob Skehan is a big fan of
this flatwing style streamer, the Wood Special. It's
a killer brook trout pattern, both in ponds and streams.

George,
Sorry for the confusion here - this page was titled Prince Nymph by mistake. It's about streamers. We have a lot about the Prince Nymph here and here.
