Streamer patterns for trout

[8wt]

I've been asked to tie some fly's for a raffle. Suggestion was some streamers for trout. Any suggestions to some patterns I might try?

Thanks in advance

If you are looking for Featherwing ideas ( Gray Ghost, Nine-three, Black Ghost ) For Bucktails ( Mickey Finn, Black Nosed Dace, Edson Light Tiger ) and perhaps the prettiest streamer ever tied is the the Oatman Brookie.

Take a look at the Thunder Creek style bait fish streamers. Large trout are carnivores and cannibals.

That is a very nice streamer, top marks - 10 out of 10.
The NZ Killer style can be very attractive, have a look at Kelkay's.

Toss in a Parson's Glory and a Jack Sprat as a couple Matuka patterns' from New Zealand as well. I'm partial to squirrel tail wing streamers myself. Check out the "Hammlim Minnow" in the a fly of the week section, and also the "Bluenose Squirrel Tail" for two of my patterns that I fish regularly. The HLM is still my most productive streamer pattern. A blue charm feather wing (bronze mallard feather) is nice too. The latter is best known as a salmon fly, but it will take trout when tied in the smaller sizes.

Spent an aftenoon with Bob Jacklin a week ago. He is doing fine! He still guides; runs his store; teaches free lessons on casting every Sunday evening; etc.
I bought one of his few shadow boxes with a couple flies. Hasn't arrived yet as it was too large for my suitcase.
Very nice fly!!!!

How about an eye-catching fly like a Mizzoulian Spook?

What a great photo! I plan on doing the Missoulian Spook as an "Old Fly" soon. Was originated by Dan Bailey!

Thanks for the suggestions. Now have some ideas with what I have on hand for materials.
