Reply To: Streamers

I’m sure you fish with and have in your fly box many different type of streamers. A definition of a streamer can be bigger flies that you fish on an active retrieve, and these flies imitate baitfish, crayfish, leeches, and large aquatic insect. So which ones to tie for Missouri was your question.

I will tie woolybuggers in different sizes. Definitely leech patterns using rabbit or squirrel (black, brown, olive and white). Sculpin patterns, baitfish patterns like maybe a clouser minnow, the tiger tail pattern (similar to WB except the tail is a hackle feather vice marabou).

I do tie BIG streamers for when I Musky and Pike fish – but that’s a whole other ball game!
