This is a fairly simple streamer that can be fun to play around with substituting different materials and styles of tying to get exactly what you are looking for. For bass fishing, if you want a taller profile fly try using schlappen for the tail feathers, as they are fuller and thicker than neck hackle, which will give the fly more profile. This can imitate bluegill and other common panfish that are usually taller than wide. If imitating baitfish like shiners, sculpin, or creek chubs, craft fur can slim down the profile of the fly to get that typical slender baitfish look.
This is a solid streamer for warm water and cool/ temperate water for any fish species that eats other fish. The contrast with the grizzly neck hackle along the sides gives this fly a bit of attractiveness, without looking too ridiculous for fish that are a little picky in clear water situations. Along with this, this fish mask makes a great baitfish profile and the eyes gives those predatory fish something to lock onto when striking.
Fish this with a general stripping motion back to your feet or to the boat. If the water is a bit cooler than average, slow the motion down and let the fly suspend in the water to allow lethargic fish to strike. Fishing this with strips 3″-8″ with a strip-strip-pause motion can imitate wounded baitfish and alert fish of an easy meal.
