Fly Tying for Beginners - a Marabou Hairwing Streamer

A generic baitfish streamer using two common materials - marabou and any kind of hair (bucktail, squirrel, or any coarse stiff hair). I originally created this for panfish but it should do fine for small water trout.
Hook: #6-12 streamer
Thread: Any color
Body: Silver Mylar tinsel
Underwing: White marabou
Overwing: Brown over colored bucktail

Wow! Another great streamer pattern. Can’t wait to try these out, and I almost got my honeydo’s completed. 😅 Next week can’t get here fast enough! Thanks Matt. Be well my friend.

[@Jd-yc3gw]

Good morning Matt. Looks like an effective little streamer. Hope your week is going well. Take care.

[@butchcunningham5344]

I'll tie a couple up in different color combos and give em' a try....Thank you, I appreciate your time and effort.

[@jeffreystone7327]

Thank you Matt. Looks like a fun and easy one to tie. Kind of reminds me of a Mickey Finn at first glance.

[@jimgollach6202]

Another excellent tie Matt. Thanks 👌. Enjoyed watching. 👍

[@ArtOvercash]

I love tying streamers in size 10 for trout.
Tied to match the baitfish in the stream.

[@ZacharyBobbie1611]

Love the streamer pattern! Sorry I didn’t get to comment when the video dropped! I changed occupations and I’m a county lockup Corrections Officer, so no phone till the end of the shift!
Tight lines, Matt! 😂😎🎣

[@joehawk9839]

Good morning Matt! I tie several micro streamers, mostly with bucktail.I add some weight to some and always some lateral line of crystal flash or flashabou.I use them for white and yellow perch fishing primarily.

[@davidveilleux4688]

Thanks for sharing Matt . That streamer would be very effective on small stream Brookies for sure.

[@allenaviation5746]

Nice little streamer, Matt. Thanks for sharing.

[@davehall2160]

Definitely need to try this one out. This would be great for the grandkids to tie up and use
Thanks for the video, Matt

[@bigdaddy99929]

I tie lots of these type streamers. Salmon and steelhead love them. Thx Matt

[@dalelinton7716]

I have been wanting to tie some streamers. This is a simple pattern for me to try. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@brucehaley3651]

I was looking for a new bluegill fly. I will put a few together and then in the box. Thanks Matt.

[@burtonbrocious171]

Morning matt good looking little streamer pattern looks deadly 😊

[@edwardchavez5627]

Good Afternoon Sir Matt, A very nice marabou streamer. I'll be trying up some of these for white bass . Thank you

[@laytonmarvin3790]

Awesome, it has everything that catches fish. Thank you for sharing.

[@DB-iu8yl]

Nice little streamer!

[@brianferguson9483]

I'm definitely going to tie some of those up 😊

[@johnnylightning1491]

Nice fly Matt. I've had bluegill save a bad day of fishing more than once in my life, I'm taking off from Lake Okeechobee in a couple of days. The fishing has been horrible and wind has been blowing most of the time. Maybe it will be better the next place I go. I can see lots and lots of color combinations for this fly. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@joeduca8582]

Nice streamer Matt. 👌

[@BeyerOutdoors]

I have the materials for this fly and thinknitd be a fun one to tie. Thank you for the video.

[@kenb4685]

Gidday Matt. Nice fly. Thankyou.

[@tompeterson559]

Very nice. I definitely will try a few in size 10 for trout when the lake near me opens in a couple of weeks, but I'm also going to tie some in sizes 2 and 4 for use going after steelhead and early run salmon! Thank you!

[@hirkojs]

Mega Thx Matt. Great video. Keep up the amazing content.

[@jimholland1592]

☕️☕️Hey Matt,
Are ya packing yet, I bet that Airstream is calling your name about now. And nice bug😉

[@Rods-Bows8338]

Nice, simple, easy little streamer. Can’t wait to tie a few and try them out.

[@wayneparmley4711]

I have tied sparse tiny bucktail streamers for years. One of my staples for trout and panfish! And a great pattern to teach beginners.

[@jeffjackson5331]

Neat looking fly

[@Hunter711pa]

Nice job Matt thanks for the video

[@ybarrajc]

Thanks for sharing Matt, once again, you’ve taking me to school, and I’ve learned a new fly definitely going to tie some of these up. Have a blessed day my friend.

[@asaandrews3372]

Very cool matt 👍

[@arlielease875]

This fly really close to a Mikey Finn I use out here in Colorado rivers

[@SavageFlies]

Oh yeah, and totally if you use some kind of yellow or red!

[@FlyTyer1948]

Why not mix as long the marabou is shorter than the shank? That pink crinkled bucktail would be fine for a large saltwater bucktail if we can ever convince to try fishing saltwater. ;-)
