Re: [VFB] What are you all tying right now?
Tying a bunch o Thunder Creek streamers. Does anyone have the original recipe for them? Robert, I'll have to see if I can find which book I took the pattern from. It was supposed to be the original pattern. The materials were simply different colors of bucktail. Top color, bottom color, and one black bucktail hair on each side for a mid-line. Painted eyes if you so desired. Being lazy, I didn't paint mine. As memory strikes me (and it's losing it's punch these days), they were tied on a Mustad 9672. I caught an approximately 10-lb. catfish on my last one about 6 years ago and haven't gotten around to tying more. I think it's about time to start again.

Hello all; I am sorry to say that for the past year or so, I haven't tied a dag-gummed thing. Several reasons for it, but the bottom line is that I haven't tied any. I haven't even been fishing much this past year. In fact, I have been rather lithargic about everything lately.

Re: [VFB] What are you all tying right now?
Robert, I think they were tied on a 4xL straight eye hook so that the hook eye looked more like a minnow's nose. I want to say it was Mustad 9674 but I am not sure. I do not think they make the specific hook he used anymore but Partridge came out with a hook called something like the Keith Fulsher Thunder Creek hook It may still be available. The body was usually tinsel, especially the embossed type. I think Mr. Fulsher had close to 20 different variations. Hope this helps.

Re: [VFB] What are you all tying right now?
Well, I'm in week 6 of my Salmon fly/Traditional Artist program through the NH Council for the Arts, and got a grant to cover transport, materials and some of the time. I work in healthcare in the offices of a large group of practices and my hours got cut in half in August due to Medicaid low reimbursements, so this is one day of my time each week. We started with a couple of Spey and Dee flies in October and each Tuesday we meet one on one for 4 hours instruction with a master tyer/mentor Larry Antonuk, to take things to the next level using Mike Radenchich book Twenty Salmon flies. Strip wing last week, and this week single feather; golden pheasant with and without toppings and the famous mallard tent. The program ends in June, if anything it is making me a more precise tyer, and when I do retire in a couple of years I'll have plenty of time. Still tying lots of other stuff as well, streamers and then fishing flies.

Re: [VFB] What are you all tying right now? thunder Creek Streamers
I have in front of me some Gaelic Supreme Keith Fulshers Thunder Creek Streamer hooks. The head is a round eye straight, no bend hook. 5 X Long and 2X Heavy wire, Forged Round Bend, straight eye, bronze finish. The original was bucktail, darker color on top, a strand or two of flash down the side light or white on the bottom with paint on eyes. I use stick on eyes with a cover of epoxy or uv cure product. Also, I have added a little tinsel to the body and if making them the same color as a feather wing streamer, say a Supervisor, I put on the red tailing, no beard or throat. Also, good quality long craft fur is good, I use it for teaching this pattern. Fun to tie and I've caught lots of fish on them everywhere.
