Review
Rating: [5 of 5] Reviewed by: JON on 12/11/2008 Pros: If you want to produce flies the size of small birds, that cast well, and more importantly fish well, then this is the DVD for you. Articulated Streamers is a very well produced, easy to follow, DVD. The footage is clear, well focused, and the tying instructions concise. Cons: Kelly Galloup really assumes the viewer has knowledge of his flies. He describes one simply by saying, this is just an articulated Zoo Cougar . That s fine if you know what a basic Zoo Cougar is. Other Thoughts: This is an advanced DVD is on how to tie articulated streamers, not how to tie flies. The author assumes the viewer has a basic knowledge tying. Perhaps some viewers might be put off by the lack of discussions of thread selection, hook selection, material selection, tools etc. I do not see that as a con at all. There are tons of good DVDs for beginners. So many DVDs spend way to much valuable time going over basics. Kelly Galloup gets right to the heart of the matter. Articulated flies are all about the articulation and a fair amount of time is spent on this connection. The explanation of how to make these this joints is outstanding and well demonstrated. It s always interesting seeing how other tiers handle materials. Kelly Galloup s explanation of how he spins the huge hanks of deer hair he uses on some patterns was outstanding. --Fly Fishing Website

Streamer Fishing
Kelly Gallup is the go to guy when it comes to Rocky Mountain Trophy Brown Trout fishing. If your coming anywhere out here in the Greater Yellowstone Area to fly fish, you owe it to yourself to get and study the book by Kelly and Bob Linneman, the primer Michigan guide, and also Kelly's DVD's on streamer fishing, finding "soft" water, particularly during runoff, which this year has extended into August. Also, you need to look at Kelly's streamer "system", how to tie and use streamers, in colors and shapes when working a trout river or stream, particularly when there is no dry fly hatch in progress. This stuff is practical, thorough, makes sense, and works. I use his methods on the Snake and Wind rivers and in the lakes of the Wind River Mountains. It really works if you want that big fish.
