Imperial Tarpon Streamer
We’ve been chasing tarpon in our local river lately, so it felt right to tie something with the ‘Silver King’ in mind. Barry Ord Clarke never disappoints, and this streamer was an absolute blast to tie up. It was my first time working with Vulturine, and paired with Fulling Mill premium marabou, the contrast between the more rigid sides/topping and the ethereal tail makes for gorgeous movement in the water. Would you fish this one?
