Looking for suggestions -- The Steramer Page is being revised

After promising it many times, I'm finally getting off my fat ass and
creating a new streamer page entitled;

The NEW Streamer Page + Wets

This page will be more technically oriented than the old. I'll be
dropping the trips section and making significant additions to
technique, tackle, and flies. I'm also adding a Wet flies section as
the dividing line between wets and streamers isn't that great and I
employ them with equal frequency.

The old page had more of a trout orientation but the new one will also
featu

Bass, Pike, Musky, Stripers, and maybe Panfish.

The tying section will only cover flies of my own design that have
actually been proved to work (minis, weamers, etc.). Unlike the old
one, the tying section will be more detailed. I received the odd
complaint that the old instructions were too sparse. I'm also going
to continue the experimental aspect, including things like my lead
foil, bent flies that mimic spoons when stripped or swung, or dead
minnows when drifted.

In the technique section, I'll be examining both proven and
experimental techniques. I'm going to have a close look at the
methods of our hardware brothers and sisters to see what can be
learned/adapted.

I'll also be taking a good look at different materials and concepts,
such as Sandy P's soft-bodied flies and my weamers.

I'm of two minds regarding a gallery -- depends on what people want.

My links section is intended to connect only to those sites that, in
terms of subject matter, complement mine. Ditto the books review
section.

Having said all of this, I'm prepared to adjust pretty well anything
if someone comes up with a better idea.

I'd be interested in a gallery.

How about a few pages devoted to tube fly issues.
I've recently started working with tube flies myself, and I'm
amazed (and chagrined) I didn't take them more seriously
sooner.

....any fly you can tie on a long-shanked streamer hook
you can also tie on a tube of some sort. Tubes can be
weighted as much or as little as you want. The primary
benefit is (the tube's) ability to put a short-shanked
hook at the rear end of the fly. Long shanked hooks
do (because of increased leverage) pop out of the fish's
mouth more easily, and more frequently.

Good idea. I've just started with tubes myself and they seem to offer
all sorts of advantages. I'll work it into the tying section.
