After a couple of months of tying swing flies and nymphs, last night at the weekly Open Tie Night at the Bozeman Angler I decided to tie some meat. Big, nasty, meaty streamers. The big stuff is always fun to tie, and it offers you a lot of room to be creative. Tying streamers also goes hand in hand with listening to classic rock and drinking whiskey.
It’s also fun to tie the big stuff with people who really know what they’re doing. Everyone at the shop last night is a pretty good tier, especially when it comes to streamers. It’s always helpful to be able to bounce ideas off of people, get advice, and even some praise when you hand someone a finished fly.
Now to just get out on the water and fish these…
