I am a 45+ year streamer tyer and was always a streamer fisherman. If you want a book that will give you fishing techniques and proven streamers, I suggest the Classic "Streamer Fly Tying & Fishing" and also "Streamers & Bucktails" both by Joseph D. Bates Jr. ( available on Amazon.com used $30 range ). Also try your local Library, if they don't have it, they can most likely borrow it for you.
