I give a step by step instruction on how to tie my Skinny-Dipper articulated streamer pattern. This is a weightless swim style fly intended to be thrown with 6wts and up and full sinking lines. Target species are, well.....everything, but brown trout and smallmouth in particular. Tied on Ahrex #4 Light Stinger and #1 Predator Stinger hooks.

Zoo Cougar

Kelly Galloup's Zoo Cougar is a pattern with some years on its back, but Martin recently discovered and started tying this staple big trout streamer. Large fly, goudy colors, deer hair! Just his kind of fly.

This article should rightly be subtitled "what to do when you don't have the right material that a pattern calls for?"

Thunder Creek flies

Kieth Fulsher was particularly concerned with the size of the head and the eyes. He didn't feel that thread heads with painted eyes or jungle cock eyes appropriately represented the large head of a minnow.

Since you got this far …

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
