One of Dave's top 3 flies for Trout Spey on skagit lines. The White Widow Streamer is a great streamer pattern for trout and even warm water species. www.cooperland...

The materials we used in the White Widow Trout Spey Fly can be swapped out for your favorite colors. We love greens, blacks, browns and whites for tying this pattern.
A simple, easy to tie and very effective fly for Rainbow Trout up here in Alaska. This trout spey fly is also effective for Great Lakes Trout and Steelhead.
Some of the best flies for skagit casting, especially for trout, are light weight and do not hold a lot of water.
Thank you so much for watching and Tight Lines!

This is one of my all-time favorite flies for swinging skagit lines for rainbows! Thank you so much for watching!

[@davidlisi]

As a bonus, check out the demo on how to salvage the marabou at the bottom of the stem :)

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

@@davidlisi Oh yeah, I should put that video out as well!

@@CooperLandingFishingGuide I totally understand that!

[@okanaganadv2315]

I now tie a variation of this for my local big rivers, pulling in 20 and 24” bows consistently now! Awesome pattern!!!

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

That's awesome! Have you tried it in other colors?

[@marcusmorgan1419]

You have some great looking flies, natural materials always seem to have excellent action, I have tried a few and me personally, what I really like, they still cast well compared to the overweight articulated streamers I have been tying up and trying to use, with your patterns i have used i don't have to try and relearn casting all over or try to change the way I cast, best of all they work here in Idaho for steelhead, and trout. Thank you for the videos, I appreciate and am learning from them.

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

Oh man, that is so so great to read! First off, thank you so much for watching and tying my flies Marcus! I am so glad they work for you and cast well! Thank you again!

[@tiedbyblake]

Definitely tying a few of these up. The big trout are going to love them!

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

You know it! Definitely let me know how they work for you and thank you so much for your support!

[@johnshand6176]

Nice tie and well presented. I am just starting Spey fishing and this looks a perfect starter for lake run rainbows in the Tongariro River in New Zealand. Will tie up a few and give it a go. Thanks from down-under.

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

Thank you so so so much! I hope it works for you and definitely let me know what you think!

[@halvo11]

I'm pretty late to comment but just found this channel and a lot of these flies look like they'd be killer here in Michigan

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

Thank you so much for watching and definitely let me know how they do for you!

Nice fly, Dave. Thanks!

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

Thank you so much Jolynne! I hope all is well :)

ABSOLUTELY!! Thank you so much for checking this one out and for your continuing support :)

[@ramoutdoors6415]

Very nice work man! Gained a sub. Richard from Kansas;)

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice easy tie

[@TheSilver9r]

Nice tie Dave! I really like your method and demonstration of how to wrap around the eyes at the head. How long about is the trailer wire off the back? I usually leave enough space to be able to change the hook if needed. Great videos, very helpful.

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

Thank you so much! The space in the wire is just about the same length as the hook. Just enough room to squeeze the hook off if you need to change it. Thank you again!

[@lornegiles8863]

I see the hackles are on there!!

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

You know it! Been meaning to tie more of the older patterns I used to tie :) I should have lots with hackles coming up! Thank you again for the support Lorne!

[@jkdurden]

Why do you put the mallard flank under the marabou vs on-top of the marabou? Seems like the mottling of the flank could be best used on top. Just a curiosity....not a critical review. :) Looks like a deadly fly....I will be tying some up in various colors.

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

Thanks for the question James! Generally speaking, I use the mallard to "prop up" the marabou and give the fly more profile. Since I also use just a few wraps and the mallard is relatively stiff, it tends to show through with bot color and mottling as well. Hope this helps!

[@buckshot21000]

Just wondering where can these be purchased? I'm not a very good at tying and I've been wanting to get into trout spey fishing and willing to try tying spey flies. I'm in North Carolina any suggestions on patterens

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

I could always tie some up for you if youd like? Shoot me an email at [e-mail] Talk to you soon!

[@buckshot21000]

@@CooperLandingFishingGuide been looking at the redington hydrogen trout spey rod the 11ft 3in 3wt model as a good starter rod. Any suggestions on rods or reels would be great. I know a Skagit head is good for swinging streamers and intruders. I saw the video George Cook from Ashland fly shop did and said that the rio single hand spey would be great for dry flies and shoft hackles.

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

@@buckshot21000 That sounds like an excellent rod choice :) You can also throw smaller stuff with a skagit head and lighter tips (even floating tips with lightly weighted flies work for shallower runs).

I can't help but wonder which Curb episode is playing in the background.
