Streamers have come a long way over the years! What was once a matter of slapping some long hair to a hook and calling it a day has evolved into a science of maximizing movement, vibration, density and more to create a lifelike swim on your flies that triggers predatory fish. These flies have been proven for pike, musky, striped bass, saltwater species, bass and more!
Steve has been a fly designer, guide and author for over three decades. He has experience creating numerous innovative and effective patterns for species found in the Great Lakes region and world-wide. Some of his patterns are available through Fulling Mill's fly catalogue. Steve is a trained ecologist and ecosystem manager who uses his observation and angling experience to address fly tying challenges. His favourite area of fly tying is developing baitfish patterns that swim in a manner that triggers predatory fish.
