Winter is coming and with that I have started to tie up fully dressed salmon flies, but in a order from taimen.com<\/a> I added a pack of 10xlong streamer hooks just for to see what I could do with them. Today I put one in my vice, and it was big! I normally tie up on #10-#18 dryfly\/nymphs, so it was a daunting task. I browsed\u00a0streamers365.com<\/a> for inspiration for a while and pulled out what feathers I had that could match up with a hook on this size. I ended up with a green freestyle streamer based on what I had in my box (I realized I didn’t have much that could be put on a hook this size).<\/p>\n

I’m quite pleased since this is the first attempt ever at anything remotely near this size. The one thing I am annoyed with is the French Oval: the top one right next to the ostrich herl ended up with a small gap between it and the Mylar.<\/p>\n

Not quite sure what I should call this though: any input? Or is there a existing pattern that resembles this?<\/p>\n

To compare what I normally would tie: here with a #12 white cdc & deer hair caddis:<\/p>\n
