Tying Meat

I just ordered a bunch more materials for streamer tying, they'll probably show up around the end of this week or the beginning of next week. In the mean time I'm out of thread. I'll probably go bat crap crazy.

One of the last batch of flies is a three hooked (last one has the bend cut off) streamer. The materials included brown marabou, rainbow flash, and a dubbing material I blended up using a bunch of different materials. Some rubber legs and mallard flanks finish off what I hope is a killer fly. I'm calling a 24 inch brown on this one this year. I dub thee, "The Monga Leech"!

    That's a crazy looking fly! No wonder you are ordering more materials; it looks like they all went into the tying of this monster!

      Tying big streamers is one of the best ways to get rid of materials. This one isn't the biggest though.

    Not for small stream use. But a smallie in the Salmon would be interested.

      Certainly not, most of the fish in those streams are this size! I'm hoping for some smallmouth and some big night time feeding trout.

    I can't wait to see what takes that tie. It could catch a number of species depending on where you are. It's cold, I can't think anymore.
    Tie and write on...
