I've been tying flies for a few weeks now, and I've tied a fair number of wooly buggers and clouser minnows in a few colors. It seems like those two patterns mght be all I will need as far as streamers.
I'm thinking about tying a scuplin pattern, but haven't decided on one yet. I'm also aware of patterns like the muddler minnow, and other "classic" streamers, but they seem like they'd be hard to tie, and would require a lot of feathers and things that I don't have. Also, I haven't purchased any deer hair yet, so I'm putting off tying the muddler minnow...
Is it worth tying other streamer patterns? It seems like streamer patterns probably aren't like nymph or dry fly patterns - you're never really "matching the hatch" with streamers. Just throwing something that looks and moves somewhat like a baitfish, or possibly a crayfish.
edit: I'm mostly interested in streamers for trout, but am also interested in bass streamer patterns.
