I use single hook streamer flies in various patterns such as wood duck heron fly, blood and guts fly, maynards marvel, pumpkin head, etc, etc. if I could only have one fly this time of year it would be a wood duck heron fly with orange marabou added AKA “orange heron fly”.

I don’t use tandems on Winni as they don’t work nearly as well for me as single hook streamers.

Good Luck!

AGREED!

I don't fish/don't even know what you're talking about when you go into it (even on other threads). But I like seeing people SO involved in their hobbies that they want to know all they can know!- And share!
