    I’ve been experimenting with different streamer materials for a while and and I am trying to find the best stuff.

    Yak hair is great for larger flies, but can be hard to fine and a little pricey

    I think the answer is in blends.

    I tied some BIG double bunny style flies for Northern pike and apparently they didn’t wrap. They wern’t the number one fly out of the box though :-[ Apparently the fish were more interested in a fly 6inches long instead of 10?!
    Ties double bunny style and with a bit of stiff nylon tied and glued between the strips, part of the way back would help too?
    I love rabbit too and big thick magnum strips give such a good action.

    I’m just wondering how much synthetic and non biodegradable stuff we leave in the water even after our best efforts.
