Simple streamer for trout

[Eric-WD]

I need a simple pattern for a streamer for trout, I tried a search of the archives but just too much information. Any suggestions?, just a name I can search would be fine.

Thanks

Spruce or Royal Coachman.

Black nosed dace: very simple and effective in either bucktail or marabou.

A small Clouser of course!! like size 8 would work good.

Clouser Minnow #8-10. Tan-white or black-white. No doubts.

A marabou streamer is about as simple as it gets.

Body: silver tinsel
Wing: marabou, color of your choice with a few peacock herls on top.

You can add some flash or a red beard if you think it's too simple.

I use a 5/32 bead these days, however. Think it works better. Thsi works in olive as well:

Eric,

Found an old beat up fly in my dad's tackle box and finally tried it a couple of years ago when the weather was hot, water was low, very clear and nothing else worked. It was a streamer, about size 8 or larger, and consisted of just yellow and brown feathers, about two of each as a body, tied parrallel to the hook and the same brown feather used as a small bit of hackling just behind the hook eye. Worked best after a dead drift across and down and then stripped back in short, slow bursts. About all the ones caught on it were hooked good in the upper lip. The strikes were mostly very aggressive and surprising because of the hot, low water conditions.
