Streamer (rivers) - Rolled Muddler (it's a northwest thing)
Mmmm. That's what is sitting in my vise right now. Trying to learn how to tie these, and as usual the first culprits are looking pretty wanky. I have discovered I really don't know professional techniques for wrapping a good professional looking tinsel body shank! Too much of a bulge where the tail is tied in, tinsel wraps are uneven with some wraps pooching out a bit.
First... any tips on how to tie a killer tinsel body?
Second... any personal secrets for a great Rolled Muddler?
Here's the one photo I have found.
