#212 Bucktail Silver Streamer - Bob Petti #212 Bucktail Silver Streamer - Bob Petti

Tied by: Bob Petti
Originated by: Ray Bergman
Source: Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing: Bates Pg. 238

Hook: Mustad 3665A #6-#12
Thread: Black
Body: Embossed silver tinsel
Throat: Red hackle fibers
Underwing: A small bunch of white bucktail
Wing: 2 silver badger hackles
Eye: Jungle cock
Head: Black

Notes: This is one of the three streamers originated by Ray Bergman. The streamer should be dressed spare so that is compresses to a thin minnow shape in the water. The original pattern calls for a golden pheasant crest dyed red in place of the red hackle throat. A slight variation of the pattern calls for the tyer to place the bucktail on the streamer as a belly instead of the underwing and then omit the red throat.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

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.
