I rarely fish streamer patterns, myself, but would certainly classify streamer patterns as "flies" and the fishing of them with a fly rod as "fly fishing"...,,,,
my "fly" pattern books have many streamer patterns.
and, although I did not, what is the first "fly" many/most tiers first tie? A Wooly Bugger/Wooly Worm??
anyone know what a "Walt's Dace" is and who developed it?
