Traditional Feather Winged Streamer

No comments yet

I recently had to cull two of my roosters, so in order not to waste anything, instead of just eating them, I also tanned their hides and preserved the feathers on the skin in order to use for fly tying. I wanted to tie some flies with their feathers, and this one rooster was so pretty I figured a traditional style streamer would showcase all of its pretty feathers. It has a mix of mottled and solid color feathers, in a range of colors. I am not very experienced with tying these style streamers, but I have tied a few in the past. I would appreciate if you all give me some constructive criticism and help guide me into tying these better. If I made mistakes let me know and I will do my best to work on those for any future video.

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.
