rick Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Can anyone tell me if there is a place around Niagara where one can buy a beginners kit to learn how to tie. I buy a ton of streamers every year and thought it might be fun to start making my own on those cold snowy days. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IBC Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I would assume Pete's would have something if your looking for a bargain try Ebay if you trust it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Pete's used to have fly tying kits... as did Wal-Mart and CTC.... Pete's has molds for making sinkers, so i'd imagine he has a fly tying kit laying around his shop somewhere's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ken Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 It's kinda hard to explain how to tie streamers here. There are many types of streamers with many different materials. However, there are several general types... Spey flies are used in Europe and the East Coast a lot. They have huge feather wings and a very tall vertical profile. I don't tie them at all because they tend to be quite delicate (don't last long LOL). Pattern like Lady Amherst is a good example. Then there are some bucktail streamers that I like a lot. They usually have silver tinsel bodies with bucktail wings. I like patterns like Coho Blue, Skymorish Sunrise, Purple Peril... You can also use rabbit strips...I like to use 4" strips in white, olive and pink. Although it's only my first try at them this fall, I got a few follows and a good hit on them so far from only a couple hours of fishing them. This is just a generalization. Here's a few couple sites to visit for more patterns... West Fly Ultimate Fly Tying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
