Not sure, been wanting to get into more classic streamers and I saw this one and figured it was a good pattern to start with. I would just swing them down stream into some tail water/ slack water. I have a few more patterns to try out and tie up a dozen or so of each and give them a shot this spring. I always have woolly buggers on me but I thought I should change up my streamer game a little.

I had heard that allot of those open version were trolled. Let us know how it works out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Jinglers I’ve seen, mostly on various U.K. sites, have a dry fly hackle fronted with a longer softhackle collar, often, but not always, partridge.
