I got to thinking about salmon streamers the other night, and started messing with materials I have never used before.  I used Green Zonker strips, some maribou, flashabou, synthetic hair, and some deer hair.

I attempted some muddler like streamer variations that pretty much sucked.  One with a tungsten bullet point weighted head, and one with out.

Then I tried a streamer like contraption that I actually think will work.  But who knows?

Then I threw together two more attempts at Mickey Finns.

And well...  That was what I tried to do last night.

Thanks for checking it out.

Don't hold your breath Dave.  I would hate to be responsible for your death.

I have gotten fairly confident with nymphs of differnt varieties, but Streamers are something else entirely.  I think I want to master wet flies before jumping into the streamer category.

I tried to spin Deer hair one other time.  Here are some pics.

I made two of these up to go bass fishing with my brother.  They even made that nostalgic popping noise when stripped through the water with quick short bursts.  I was really proud of that.  Sadly no fish though.  He couldn't even catch them on a worm that night though, so I didn't feel too bad about that.

I intend to start tying some salmon flies this weekend for our morning with Lee at the Mary meeting.  I just have to figure out what.  Lee said he likes the golden demon.

You must be a gifted man with that buck hair. When I had a go of it  I distinctly heard a voice in the background saying, "Blessed are those who expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed".

It was a push broom and a scoop shovel event to clean up the mess.
