Do you love big bluegill?
Been messing around with Jack Gartside's, "Soft Hackle," marabou streamer the last couple days. This type is a fairly sparse, wound marabou lure. I hit on the bright idea of doing it with bead eyes, like a Clouser minnow.
These are wound to be full out of the water, but are actually rather sparse overall. In the water, the marabou streams back and breathes sinuously... that's the theory, anyway.
I'll be closing down the tying bench for the upcoming season, at least for experimentation purposes. This may be one of the last new ties I do.
This seasons fly list (those I wish to concentrate on) is fairly short:
- Cypert minnows
- MM and Gartside minnows
- Briminators
- Gurgle and Hackled Ant foamies
- Soft hackles/ Nymphs
I'll also have a few rubber band grubs and Woolies along for the ride.

Thanks Carl
I tried a Clouser style for comparison, using marabou, and I think I prefer Gartside's "palmered" method better.
It takes less marabou for one thing, and has less bulk around the head.
good idea david
Only one way to find out!!!! :)
nice streamer
Oh boy, that looks good!
