Tying The Squirrel Streamer

Recommended Posts

The barred squirrel tail wing is a nice touch as the material has great movement for streamer wings.  It will work fine.

For reference clarity  though, you might call the pattern a variant because the traditional wing has sparse segments of  black, over brown, over white, bucktail.  

Some other variants use maribou in those colors  and there is a "bitch creek" style Black Dace too.

I think i need to slow down when trying to make videos cause I often miss details 

i think you need to research the pattern recipes you want tie BEFORE creating a YouTube videos

you're misleading other young tyers by calling an established fly pattern created in the 1940's as something that its not

Happy? I found it difficult to tie the 3 separate sections of wing and figured a beginner would as well. You have mentioned it 3 times now and I get the point. Not trying to be rude or anything.

Thank you everyone,for the positive comments and the criticism. I think i need to slow down when trying to make videos cause I often miss details (not counter wraping, not using the right wing, spelling issues, and other errors.) Hopefully I helped someone by posting it. Working on a video that goes through how to whip finish.

Your doing great! And more importantly you are doing it. Your not just sitting around thinking about it. You are making it happen and learning along the way. Keep it up!

I think the main point is, and it's an important one, when you deviate from a popular fly pattern, for what ever reason, you need to tell people it's a deviation or a "variant" and not the way it was originally tied. I don't think anyone is being overly critical if they point that out. People can be knit-picky at times, in this case I think it's completely within-bounds.

Paddless for sure. At least I've been there. Hmmmmm, might be a different creek though.
