Kingfisher Outfitter's Streamer

I learned about this streamer while on a trip to Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia. This fly can also be tied in rust, white, black, red, olive, or purple. It is a very effective fly for lake trout, bass, shellcrackers and bream. I tied it on a size 6 4X hook. Any streamer hook will work for it. The body materials are zonker strip, marabou, angel hair flash material, and spun deer hair. It is hard to be seen in the pictures, but sporadically throughout the fly, there is a flash from small amounts of angel hair tied the marabou. In the last picture, I showed how there is a piece of 20lb-30lb test tied off the back of the hook to keep the zonker strip from wrapping around the hook. It is hard to find a fly like this that isn't the Wooly Bugger, and works for every fish in a pond. I can't wait to test this fly on trophy trout water.

What a better way to start a blog about streamer patterns, then open with Kelly Galloup's Sex Dungeon pattern. Large is an understatement when describing this fly. The fly is very effective, but I believe the name keeps people away from some using it seriously. Making it an articulate fly, use a size 4 4X long hook and trailing a size 6 4X long hook. This fly resembles much more than a small bait fish. It appears to be a meal that would last a 20+ inch trout a week. It is comprised of the entire kitchen sink with zonker strips, rubber legs, ice dubbing, spun deer hair, lead eyes, and large hackle feathers.
A few tips for those trying to tie the pattern: Use a braided fishing line to attach the two hooks together. Braided line is smaller and more powerful, making it easier to thread the hook eye. To push the hackle towards the back, I periodically do a few wraps with ice dubbing over the hackle while pulling it back. For the spun deer hair, make sure the stacker is big enough to hold a lot of deer hair. If you have too small of clump, it will fail to spin around the entire hook. I like using scissors better than a razor for trimming the deer hair. Its easier to get more precise with the cuts as long as your scissors are not dull. Good Luck!

Welcome

Streamer Addict was formed to broadcast how many different streamer patterns are being created for fly fishing. These are not the size ten wooly bugger that grandpa used when he was felt like he was breaking the fly fishing rules. The streamers are big, vibrant, and overwhelming to many anglers searching the fly racks at the local fly shop. Fishing with a size 20 dry is enjoyable, but chucking a size 2 streamer and watching a 20+ inch trout chase it down will convince you to change your style of fishing.
