Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing - Joseph Bates Jr

Anyone read Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing - Dr. Joseph Bates Jr.
I finished the book last year and it has some great info about streamer
fishing theory. The Wizard on Plate 4 looks like a Penns Creek Killer.
Anybody want to tie me a few ;

Yes, it is a classic on basic streamer theory and practice.
No, I won't tie you a few, I taught you how to tie for just that reason. I
will, however, gladly field test your tied samples as a favor to you.

Well, I pulled out the fly tying stuff and started working on the
Wizard. I bought some Carrie Stevens hooks last year for just this
purpose. I like how long the hooks are but the bend doesnt look like it
will hold a fish that jumps, I guess I'll findout in March. Frank I'll
put you on the easy monthly payment plan if I dont sell the camper by
April. But.. I hope is gone by then, I'm going to put it in the paper
up there in Feb.

Streamers are good for Muskie, Pike, and other trash fish. They're not
bad in the salt either. Trout don't take streamers. That is a lie
propogated by those who want to broaden their streamer material market
into main-stream fly fishing. Trout do, however, take wet flys. That
is a whole different ballgame! I slayed the trout on a soft-hackle wet
fly last year on the Watauga.

I always thought Forty and Hart were the same person, but now there's
proof. ;-)

I'm sure I've caught more big trout on streamers than on any other type
of pattern, including a 34" lake trout, many 20" bull trout, countless
cutthroat, a 20" brook trout in Henry's Lake, the best fish (a brown)
I've ever caught at Silver Creek, numerous steelhead, and the occasional
resident rainbow.

For big trout, streamers are productive.

Never has a smiley been such an important part of a post.

something like that.

No, if I was Forty I would have said: "Streamer fishing is a government
conspiracy to take away the constitutional rights of dry fly fishermen
and assert oil company control over the flotantant industry. You
obviously suck because you ain't as smart as me and the Illini will
kick your ass with lavender boots. So THERE!!"
