Tie better streamers

The Flatwing style

Streamers: The flatwing streamer style has been a consistant producer for me over the years, particularly in the smaller casting sizes for brook trout.

The Rangerly style

Tip: The Rangeley Style of streamer tying is the style used by Carrie Stevens to tie her famous Grey Ghost pattern. This unique features of this style of tying are that the wing components are assembled and glued together before attaching to the hook, and that the wings are not mounted on top of the hook shank but slightly down the sides of the hook shank.
