Bull Candy: Streamer Fly Tying Tutorial

In this video, Alex Swartz ties a fantastic large saltwater streamer for predatory big game fish. This is a fantastic streamer for Dorado (Mahi-Mahi), Roosterfish, Snook and Jacks. In freshwater would be a great option for Peacock Bass, Golden Dorado, Pike, Muskie, etc. The SL12S is a proven big game hook and will not bend out on you. The fly uses SF blend which is a common big game streamer body, but it also uses squimpish fibers. These are new in the shop and they make fantastic large streamers. They have a great profile and shed water quickly, which makes them a fantastic material choice for big flies. If you have a trip coming up, tie some of these up! These also would work great on the coast off the jetty. 2/0 is a great size for Lingcod, and size down to a 2 -6 for Rockfish.
