Scotty’s McFly

This is a great streamer to get started tying streamers with. This is not only because the color options are endless, but the way this streamer is set up, it makes the tier start to think more about wing lengths and dual tone streamers. This is also a great pattern to turn into an articulated streamer, either for more length, or for more action. If you choose to do this, be sure to get an articulation material that can hold up. Hareline makes a great articulation wire, or 30# braided line can work great. If you aren’t familiar with body tubing, or just want something a little different, try cactus chenille as the body. If you go this route, consider using long fibered dubbing spun in a dubbing loop for the collar. This can simulate the same thing that goes on with the body tubing in the collar of the original pattern.
