The Simple Streamer Fly Pattern Tutorial

There is a group of youth tyers up in Alberta Canada called the Vise Crew who want to tie some streamers and have mastered the Clouser so why not begin the steps of making massive streamers using marabou. These kids are out of school and are tying and needed a pattern so when reached I got reached out to, I've had this fly in my mind ever since I touched the FNF Creeper chenille. I hope the Vise Crew enjoys this pattern and comes up with some sweet color combinations to match bait fish and minnows in their local waters.
Its a Simple Streamer because it requires minimal materials, looks like garbage as a dry streamer, but is simply money when fished. I use two colors of marabou, something everyone should have in their tying supplies, a bit of Krystal flash, but the key is building up the body so the Marabou head has something that will keep it popped up. Marabou when wet wants to lay flat and not maintain profile. Look at the tail when wet. Without the proper body, it would simply lay to the hook shank and sort of be as skinny as a clouser. Although I am using a product that you might not have for the body, this can be accomplished using a medium chenille or even a dubbing loop. However, the key is to make sure to build it heaver behind the eyes. Watch the video for the reason why.
Hope you enjoy this pattern, shout out the Vise Crew, keep tying and trying new patterns and materials.

Awesome tie, very detailed. I really enjoyed the arts and crafts part, you explained the colors that should be there to mimic a bait fish.

This is a great looking minnow pattern. I'm going to tie up some for largemouth bass here in North Texas. Thanks for the great tutorial

[@WadeFreeman-i3n]

thanks Svenddiesel, I'm gonna try this on reservoir rainbow trout here in the UK, should work! 🙂

Damn I love the calm narrative while you work man.

[@Svenddiesel]

Tying is calming. Thanks man

[@davidhughes2622]

Quite a great tye. Match the local bait fish and catch a whopper. Thanks it will help a lot of tyers.🎣🤠 Dave Hughes.

[@JohnDozierSr50]

That is a great looking pattern and easy to tie. Will have lots of action. Thanks

[@Svenddiesel]

Yes. The test tank showed a lot of flow. I wanted more marabou but like how it looks when tied a bit sparser

[@diyonthefly]

Nice, Seen allot of tying and not many glue every couple of steps. I use glue like it was on sale.🤣 Great looking bait fish, I'm going to put a couple in my arsenal. Thank you.

[@jacobchapman8515]

That could be a killer walleye fly!

[@TheStreamUrchin1]

great design, simple and directions. are as good

[@JohnDozierSr50]

I think you used just the right amount. If anything less is better. Might even try polar chenille.

[@coldrone]

That's Awesome thanks man!! I'll show Jay- Vice Crew Member tonight and I'm betting he will be tying one tonight! Appreciate it! Vice Crew Dad

[@Svenddiesel]

Awesome. Hope he enjoys it.

[@kalikasurf]

the punk rock poodle!!!! diggin it!!

[@lesterdiamond6190]

Great video, thanks Svend.

Do the lead eyes turn the hook over in when fishing the fly? Or are they just there to add weight and color. Great looking fly btw

[@Svenddiesel]

The lead eyes placed on the same side as the hook point will keep the hook riding hook point down. They are added for two reasons, eyes and weight. If you place the eyes on the top of the shank (opposite of the hook point) it will invert the hook and cause it to ride point up. Tying them this way you will also benefit from the eyes and weight of adding them, in addition to it riding hook point up

[@gevodem]

@@Svenddiesel thanks, Svend!

[@marespinoza1]

Did you lose one of your olive feathers at the end?

[@Svenddiesel]

No a whole feather. Just a bit of the marabou fluffs. Might have been the tight wraps that cut it or just a weak stem, can’t remember. Had to rewatch it to see what you were referring to

[@inanamangler9633]

Great vid
