Here is the "killer" streamer! Make some of these up and give them a go on your next trip...
John Barr's Slumpbuster - September 2009 TPO Fly of the Month

He uses the rainbow braid with the black one in the book. I thought that the rainbow stuff looked great with the natural squirrel. The fish apparently felt the same:)

AAron ink me in for next Sat. Just let me know where and when

Is pine squirrel a common item? Pattern looks good im going to try it out

I have the BARR FLIES book, but I have never tied the slumpbuster. I think you just inspired me. Great video!!

Thanks. I think even I can handle that one.

Great looking streamer! Now I'm pissed because I'm going to want to go out towards Denver on my off day and get more tying materials rather than hit the slopes (they're not all that great early season anyways, but w/e).

A couple questions:

Would you consider leading the body to make it heavier and get it lower in the current? Or do you want to fish it towards the top (or just use sinking line to get it down)?

Maybe use a bead with eyes on it to make it more lifelike?

Troutastic,

You can do all of the above. You can add or substitute whatever you would like. I do add lead to some of mine in order to fish them at different depths. If you want to get them even deeper you can fish them on a sinking line as well. I have found that the bead, and sometimes lead under body is all that I need to get the flies down where I need them to be.

Bass love slumbuster's

I looked on feather-craft and a couple other sites but I couldn't find the rainbow braid. Anyone know where to find it?

I just looked and found it on TCO Fly Shops website.

The slumpbuster has been one of my go to streamer patterns for the past couple of years. I got turned onto this pattern by Bill Thompson of North Country Angler in North Conway, NH.

That rainbow braid looks real good. I've found purple haze holographic flash fibers or purple crystal flash used in place of that rainbow braid works really well with this patter as well.

Aaron, it was good getting to talk to you and Juice face to face at the show.

Rootbeer pearl... Hmm...

My buddy was in Central PA and he said that it was slow going as well. Were you on a limestone or spring creek?
