Thread: ??Name Of This Fly?? >pics are now posted<

    Default ??Name Of This Fly?? >pics are now posted<

    sorry i cannot post pictures but i can give you the pattern. A guy taughtme how to tie this it was one of my first flies. I still tie it today but I never got the name of it. I'm not sure if it is something he made up or is a pattern a lot of people know.

    Description: Streamer
    Bead Chain eyes
    braided mylar body
    the wing is squirrel tail over black krystal flash

    Sounds a lot like a Crazy Charlie but it is suppose to be a Bonefish fly shrimp pattern. There are a lot of variations.

    You realize w/o a picture it is damn near impossible to answer this question. It sounds something like a steelhead pattern called the "Boss" but not exactly.

    Default Streamers don't get no respect!

    Maybe...A GUY'S BLACK KRYSTAL SQUIRREL?

    Seriously, as you suggested...it could be or not be an established pattern. But then, nothing lends it's self more to modification than the lowly streamer....sometimes to such an extreme point that you can call it anything you want.

    Maybe the guy who taught you the pattern knows the name. See him for it.

    Case in point...after stumbling on a link a few days a go dealing with micro-streamers, I tied this out of proportion little monstrosity.
    A bad pic but what classic pattern is this #14 streamer based on?
