Joe Calcavecchia (www.saltwatercustomflies.com) is a US based production tier for the past forty years for fly shops in the New England region, a saltwater master fly tier, and the creator of many well-renowned fly patterns such as the Mojo Squid, the Bonita Bear and the Striper Dragon just to mention a few. In this video he will be demonstrating the tying of The Streaker, a old pattern from Joseph D. Bates Jr. book "Streamers & Bucktails the Big Fish Flies". A fly that is responsible for taking many species of predatory fish, Stripers, Bluefish, Bonito, Bluefin Tuna, Little Tunny (albies), Mahi-mahi and many, many more both in fresh and salt water. This is a very old pattern that you just do not see anymore but Joe still ties a lot of them, and the fish loves them!
