Tying A Streamer!
Welcome to my list of streamer patterns.
The patterns that follow I have taken these from various places over the years
and I have tried 90% of them. A lot of the materials can be interchanged however
I would suggest you try and stick to the colours and size. By colour changes, I mean light verses dark.
Good Luck and good fishing!
