Got a shipment of these long streamer hooks from Allen Flyfishing the other day and freestyled this long streamer. First time I’ve tied on a hook this long and I’m quite pleased with how it turned out: long, slim and with a distinct trigger color on the beard and tail.

Small Bucktail Streamer

Hook: TMC 5263 #12
Thread: UNI 6/0 Black
Tail: Yellow Bucktail
Body: UNI 6/0 thread with UNI Mylar #16 rib
Wing: White Bucktail

Small bucktail streamers is a good bet to have for rivers and lakes, these small ones in #12 is a good baitfish pattern to have available. Last year I got my first Sik (Coregonus lavaretus) on one of these with orange tail, so this year I will keep a good supply readily available when I go back to the same lake to hunt the slightly bigger one.

Langrumpa Bugger

Hook: DR 305 #10
Thread: Sheer 14/0 White
Tail: From the bottom: White CDC, Mallard Flank, Green CDC
Body:  Hends Superfine Grey, Whiting Hackle, UTC Ultra Wire Silver

This is basicly a variant of a wooly bugger, but it has a story: last year I was in a cabin in Norway near langrompa lake and inspired by the nature and colors (we walked a lot in the moutain around the cabin) this pattern came to be as a memory of this great place. I like freestyling when tying with whatever I have in front of me, and this is one of those outcomes. The white (from moss and snow) and the greens was very predominant in the mountain around us, so the tail represents the nature around langrompa lake 2013.04.dryfly.me.langrumpa_bugger_two   Also tied this on a TMC 5263 #10: 2013.04.dryfly.me.langrumpa_bugger_long   To give you an idea of the nature that inspired this pattern: 2013.04.dryfly.me.langrumpa_bugger_mountain_green 2013.04.dryfly.me.langrumpa_bugger_planes
