How to tie : Baby Brook Trout streamer - VIDEO

Its been a while since I posted on this blog so here is a quick little post on how to tie the :

"Baby Brook Streamer" 

The pics below are pics of fish actually caught on this fly.  All it takes is a little twitch and the fish can't resist.  I have only used it in pursuit of trout, so if anyone else uses for a different fish, please let me know how it works :)  

If you prefer to add some weight go right ahead :)  I personally like it a little lighter to avoid deep snags on branches or deep rocks.  Plus I am not a huge fan of the lead:)

Here a some pics of three different fish caught on this fly pictured below :)

Castle Rock Killer Zonker Fly in Action

Here is a Castle Rock Killer Zonker Streamer I tied up recently.  Check out the action on this fly.  It looks like it is a real fish waiting for food to float by.  The browns love it and so do the Brookies!!



Streamer Madness !! Thanks Currents !!

I had shot an email at John of the blog Currents asking him what kind of streamers he uses in the Driftless and also what techniques work best when using them.  I received an email back saying he would send me a few to try out up here in my area.  So we traded some of his streamers for some of my dries I like to use up here when the fish are rising.  I was excited to get the flies and looked forward to their arrival.  Wednesday the package arrived in the mail.  I opened it up like a kid in the candy store and was super stoked when I saw what was inside!!  Some kick a$$ streamers that I look forward to tossing at some nice big Browns :)  I just wanted to say thanks and that the dry flies are on the way :)  If you haven't checked out his blog yet be sure and do so!  Big Trout, Pike,Carp,Catfish etc.... Great pics as well.  You won't be disappointed.

My Box is looking a lot better :)

Oh man look out trout :)

I have a feeling the Big Browns are gonna love this one.

I can't wait to sink these into some deep holes and see what is hanging out deep :)

I am hoping that they can't resist :)

Super Creation!!!

Well, the little fella decided to show up a few days earlier than expected.  I figured that he was making sure that he was fully ready for the trout season opener on March 3rd.

Whiskey Creations :)

A bottle of whiskey, plus a new pack of hooks, equals a few new flies.  I made the bomber in honor of a good bottle of Whiskey :) I prefer Gentleman Jack.  The second fly has been tied up for opening day of trout season.  Soon the music took over and I lost track of what I was doing and the fly tying ended earlier than expected :)  I ended up creating a few new things using Adobe Illustrator.  Hope you like the new creations.  

Until Next Time...........Tight Lines to all!!!!!!!

Buggin Out for Trout !!

Here are a few new flies hot off  the vise.  Oceans been tying some new ones and they are looking better with each one.  Pretty soon maybe he can fill my fly box for me :)  Happy tying to everyone.  Can't wait for springtime and open waters !!  How old were you when you first started tying flies ????  

One of Oceans new flies.  Looks like a killer for sure :)
