This week we’ve got a new fly tying video featuring a proven streamer pattern, the Drunk and Disorderly, designed by Tommy Lynch. When we think of fall streamer fishing and giant brown trout, the Drunk and Disorderly from Fulling Mill is one of those patterns that immediately comes to mind.
When Lynch set out to design the D&D, he wanted to create something with much more movement and diving action than the simple rise and fall of the average cone-head streamer. Beyond the jigging action of most streamers, Lynch’s fly actually tips side-to-side, dives and glides through the water.
The D&D features a wedge-shaped deer hair head on an angled jig hook. In large part, this is what gives the fly its unique action, realistically mimicking the movements of a baitfish.
When fishing the Drunk and Disorderly, we recommend using a sinking line, VersiLeader or splitshot to help get the fly down. Once below the surface, quick, erratic strips give this fly an irresistible movement.
