Fly Tying Tutorial - Tying The Black and White Shiner Streamer
First developed as a result of a Tandem version which was very successful for Landlocked Salmon. I wanted a fly that kept the same color scheme but was easier to cast. The body tubing turned out to be a great choice and found itself in a number of other streamer patterns. The snow runner as a wing material was a great option that produced the bulk I was looking for and provided the support for the Himalayan Goat Topping
Pattern Recipe:
Hook: Mustad 94720
Thread: UTC70 - Black
Eyes: 3/32" Stick-On Eyes - Holo. Red
Tail: Frayed ends of Body Tubing
Flash: Krinkle Mirror Flash - Pearl Black
Holo. Flashabou - Br. Rainbow
Body: MFC Tightweave Tubing - Pearl Black
Wing: Snow Runner - Black, Veniards Black Goat
Topping: Peacock Herl
Head: Black coated with UV Resin
Tying Notes:
- Use 2 layers of Black Snow Runner for the wing tied in separately taper cut to form a neat tapered head
- A hot spot of Fl. Red UTC140 Thread is used to tie down the body tubing opposite the hook point, and coated with a UV Fl. Red Resin
- An underbody of Dk. Olive or Black antron is used to cover the body prior to installing the tubing. This serves as a support structure for the tubing and gives the body a clean uniform look
