There is also an article about Streamer flies in the Autumn 2007 issue of Fly
Tyer. I believe that is still the current issue. Its not some of the
best tying Ive seen but you will get the idea for them. The Cover fly was
a nice example of the Grey Ghost but I just noticed that Dave Klausmeyer tied
the fly on the cover which is why it was tied a lot nicer than the flies in the
article. <chuckle> You can get some nice patterns from the article but try
to copy Davids example on the cover for a nicer presentation.
Enjoy,
Deb

You can google Maine streamer patterns or you can look in Joe Bates Streamer
book, or google Carrie Stevens patterns but there are so many more than just
hers.
They were typically tied on 8x long hooks in size 2 or 4 for trolling but you
could also tie them in casting sizes on a 6 or 8 hooks 8x long. You could
also tie them tandem with beads on a wire.
There is also a classic streamer book but out by David Klausmeyer that is a
nice book for tying them.
Ive got a book devoted just to Smelt Flies that you could probably find
pretty inexpensive. Many of the patterns are from New England.
A number of Smelt patterns
just google smelt streamer patterns.
The Black Ghost
Grey Ghost
The Demon
The General MacArthur
Golden Witch
Greyhound
Blue Devil
Green Beauty
Governor
Supervisor
Col. Bates
There is even a streamer list out there that you may stumble across in your
searches.
Google Mike Martineks flies
Or Chris Del Platos flies (he had an article out on streamer flies in the
Premiere issue of Hatches Magazine)
That should give you a good start.
