Articulated Goldie, Holsinger's Fly Shop, Epispode 491

The Articulated Goldie is a streamer pattern I stumbled across a while back and then forgot about. I was going through a list of potential flies for videos I made a while back and saw this on the list and decided to tie a few up. I'll be taking them out this weekend for a bass fishing trip to the river but I will also have them along with me this winter when I start chasing steelhead again. It is a rather large streamer which can look like a big undertaking to a beginner tier but it is actually a streamer that is made with a few simple techniques put together to create a rather simple fly pattern.
If you like the looks of this fly, please head over to www.holsingers... for any of the materials you might need to tie this pattern for yourself. Like always, feel free to change the size and color of this pattern to match the baitfish in your area. Have fun tying and if you have any questions or would like me to tie some of these for you, please reach out to me at [e-mail].
Thanks for watching. -Shawn

Thanks for the cool pattern Shawn.

Nice looking pattern ! I’ll make a few of those, but I will try and do the polar chenille and saddle hackle in a complex twist style see what it looks like.

[@HolsingersFlyShop]

That’s a good idea. Give it a try.

Good looking fly shawn should work well for smallmouth and browns 😊

[@HolsingersFlyShop]

Thanks. I tried throwing it today but there just wasn’t enough water. Had to downsize my streamers and picked up some smallies right away

Going up to Sandy or The Oak? I'm going to be there 1at weekend of November.

[@HolsingersFlyShop]

We haven’t been up in a few years. I got back into going to the Erie tribs in PA which is a little closer to me and I can walk a little bit to get away from the crowds.
