bwo3 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2008 I pretty much just use wool in place of deer hair when tying any streamer that calls for deer hair. The only thing that I do differently is that I will usually add gills to the sides of the streamer. One suggestion would be to tye a muddler minnow and instead of using deer hair for the head just use some wool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2009 John, Eyes are optional. The adhesive I use is called Bond 527, but any Muti-purpose cement will work. Just make sure it dries clear-is-flexible and water resistant, any hardware should have what you need Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
