The thunder creek is an old streamer pattern that uses bucktail to create a small baitfish pattern. In this version I have just substituted DNA Frosty Fish Fibre (FFF) for the bucktail.

At the Denver fly fishing retailers show in 2007 I looked at a product on a table, picked it up and immediately asked “What is this?” and “How do we get it?”   The product was DNA Holo fusion. As a result of that find I now have filled a void in my fly tying material arsenal. I discovered something that was supple enough to move well in bait fish patterns, yet rigid enough to hold its shape when tied. It’s also available in a good variety of colors.
