G's El Toro Loco
Streamer fishing is one of my favourite things to do here in our home waters in Alberta. Fishing streamers means lots of casting so with that in mind, I wanted to have a streamer that I would be able to throw all day and be able to have tied in a multitude of colors for a reasonable price. Thus, the El Toro Loco was born. I hope y'all enjoy it!

I realize that in the video there is no glue being used to attach all the materials and that is only because I ran out just that morning. You should always try to give a little extra insurance to your fly's durability with some super glue.
