It’s the modern way with so many streamers. But today I am not interested in pushing water. I want to embrace it. Cherish it. Become one with its fluidity.
Here are two simple, elegant streamers, tied on articulated shanks with a trailing stinger hook. Their intent is seduction, not overt lateral line pandering. A tail of rabbit with some Krystal Flash. Soft, flowing marabou that caresses the currents and whispers, “I’m alive.” A little flash to augment the flavors, not overpower them. Intended for steelhead, but certainly appealing to trout. Cast. Swing. Dangle.
And hold on.

Gorgeous Flies! Brings back memories of my years in Seattle fishing marabous’ ties on Daichi, Alec Jackson 4 and 5/0’s. Still have a bunch of them.
Beautiful!

Thanks, Dave. I think the fish will like them, too. Reminiscent of the Alaskabou style.
