WWKimba 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2022 Adirondack Bucktail Streamer - A classic upstate New York pattern. This pattern came about when hunting and fishing was not a hobby, it was a way to put food on the table! Originally tied using wool yarn, bucktail and black bear body hair (black-dyed bucktail was rarely available when this fly was first tied). Like many older patterns, this simple tie has many variations. Notable Ausable River tyer, Fran Betters, thought so much of this pattern that he devoted a chapter of his famous book Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, and Pattern Guide - the only pattern in his book that he did NOT originate. Hook - streamer, 4-10 (Mustad 9672, 6 used here) Thread - black Body - wool yarn, white, pink, and orange are popular colors (orange tied here) Wing - white bucktail under brown bucktail (optional-under black bear or bucktail) all tied sparse, colors may vary BUT should be tied light under dark NEWER VARIATION Same as above with pearl canvas cord wrapped for body Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyquahog 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2022 Nayat & Bucktail Deceiver Hook- Ahrex minnow in 1/0 Thread - nano silk in 18/0 white, finish in flat wax nylon Tail - pairs of white saddles on bucktail platform Body - alternate 360 degrees around hook shank using bucktail and brushed out Nayat 180 degrees on top and bottom. Add a small amount of flash. note - Giovanni (YouTube) inspired. I’d be surprised if Lefty ever used 18/0 nano or Nayat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2022 Beadhead Olive & Black Wooly Bugger Hook - Mustad 9671, 9672 or equivalent Bead - Your choice of color & texture in brass or tungsten Weight - Lead/lead free wire Thread - Black or your favorite color Tail - Olive marabou and olive krystal flash Ribbing - Gold wire Body - Olive chenille Hackle - Black saddle I choose hackle that is between 1 to 1 1/2 the hook gape. I tied the hackle in behind the bead after the chenille body was finished. Then the hackle was wrapped to the bend of the hook and tied down with the wire. The wire was then wrapped forward through the hackle and tied off behind the bead. I personally do not like the popular too much "junk in the trunk" marabou tail. Sparse is okay with ME! Use orange thread behind the bead for a hot spot. Tie in different color combinations. Be creative! Experiment! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barry Ord Clarke (The Featherbender) stated that this is one of the finest patterns ever conceived. I watched a video of Rim Chung tying a RS2 and I was inspired by his vise so I made one. At least how I think he made his. I put a bigger bend in the stem just because I like a resting spot for my hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
