Fly Tying Corner: Rainbow Delight streamer

Fly Tying Corner: Rainbow Delight streamer

Sometimes ideas come out of pure inspiration - sometimes they come from learning something new.  I've been learning how to better use generative AI in a variety of functions of my day to day life.  I decided to ask ChatGPT to design a streamer for me.  The "Rainbow Delight" streamer is the direct result.

 

Below are the tips that came directly from ChatGPT

Tips for Fishing the "Rainbow Delight" Streamer:

  • This pattern is effective for both bass and trout.
  • Fish it in lakes, rivers, and streams where rainbow trout or similar prey are present.
  • Vary your retrieve speed and add occasional pauses to mimic the natural movement of a baitfish.

Enjoy tying and fishing this versatile and attractive streamer pattern!
