Dear André,

Towards the end of last season (September here in Scotland ) I began experimenting with streamers in my local river. I was very impressed with your designs for baitfish and have been using them almost exclusively. Results have been quite good. No outsize fish but a couple much bigger than the average (and a couple of rare sea trout). Best wishes and tight lines

Hej! Tack för en fantastisk film. Har bundit dina mönster tillsammans med min son (14 år) i ett par år och haft stor framgång. Fiskade med dina streamers i Hattfjelldals kommun i somaras och fick 3 öringar på 3,6, 3,2  och den tredje var i den klassen men så trött att den fick gå tillbaka utan vägning. Alla på din öringimmitation. 
Har köpt filmen och är nyfiken på hur du binder den musimmitation som visas. Hur är den bunden?
Med vänliga hälsningar

ABOUT THE NORWEGIAN STREAMER SERIES

"Big fish eat small fish with as much right as they have power". Philosopher Benedictus de Spinoza:

The streamers in The Norwegian Streamer Series are imitations of common forage fish with a realistic silhouette and plenty of swimming action. The five streamers in the series are:

1.Trout
2.Sculpin
3.Minnow
4.Grayling
5.Char

These flies are really some fine imitations of forage fish. And to say it like this: I am a dedicated dry fly fisherman, but when you get that vibrating strange feeling inside, that feeling you get after years and years in the same situation...just knowing that this hour is streamer hour, you feel that the only right choice is to put on a...yeah, small fish imitation...
Wonderful...

1)

Tie in two grizzly marabou feathers pointing toward each other for the tail (lenght: half the hook shank).

2)

Dub a rough and translucent body of antron.

3)

Tie in a couple of peaces of red wool yarn to form the gills. Tie in 3-4 herls for the underwing (lenght: half the lenght of the tail).

4)

Tie in the overwing in the same lenght as the underwing (half the lenght of the tail). Then tie in the sides: Lenght of hook shank. 

5)

For the head I spin a dubbing loop of Grizzly marabou and wrap it to form a large head as shown on the picture. Clip to shape and whip- finish. 

In any bag of Grizzly Marabou feathers, there are some rather bad feathers, some good - and some great feathers! AND you are able to use them all, but for different purposes. 

The bad ones  are easily recognized by their undeveloped shape - or they are way too stiff. Both these types are no good for a swimming lively wing in these streamers. 

The great feathers on the other hand, are soft, and has a really fine marabou- feeling to them. These are the ones you would select to form the wing. 

The bad feathers are no waist though. These are the feathers to use to spin the head on the streamers, and that works just fine for this purpose! So no feathers are waisted here.
