So this is one of my last few streamers for a while... I hope the emerald shiner works on fresh steelhead and the darker ones should work on brownies looking for a meal.
Materials list:
Hook Cabelas model 22 size 6 heavy nymph hook.
Stinger is a Matzuo #141062 size 8.
Tyger wire to attach stinger to front hook 15lb
real eyes size small dumbell.
Artic fox tail for white belly and icelandic sheep wool grey and chartuse for emerald pattern. 4 strands of DNA holo Chromosome flash in pearl. For darker pattern belly is red fox tail and dark olive dyed artic fox tail.
Tie in fox tail very sparse as it will open up a little in water. It provides lots of movement and so far the bass/panfish really like it.
Once fly is done cut off front hook and leave the stinger. I have found if you tie this fly longer than 2 1/2 inches long a small collar dubbed then attach materials just ahead of the collar will keep the materials from penciling in strong current. The streamer casts very nice cause you don't need lots of material on the hook. I think next spring I will tie some up in 5 and 6 inch lengths for pike and musky to see how they work.
Hope this will up load if it does any opnions will be welcome.
Enjoy.
Sorry for the poor quality of picts I cannot find my camera..Wife used it in Rome and I am not shure where she put it. This is a knock off of a fly I found while surfing the internet the origional was tied by a guy named Nick. He tied it on tube and calls it "better minnow".
