Walleye Wrecker

Kevin Kirkelie

Hook - Long shank streamer hook, #4

Thread - Gray

Tail - Pearl mylar tubing (frayed from body)

Body - Pearl mylar tubing over shaped muffler tape or substitute

Wing - White bucktail then peacock herl

Collar - Chartreuse hackle

Notes: While walleye isn’t a common target for fly anglers, they will indeed come to the fly. These piscivores can be picked up on streamers and the combination of chartreuse and white can be quite a productive color combination.

Norm, I was a very serious walleye angler for many years, It’s 45 minutes to the Saginaw river from my house and maybe a hour and half to the bay, but this streamer has Holloway Reservoir northeast of Flint written all over it! I’m tying a bunch of these and getting my walleye fishing buddy to take me out in his boat.
Thanks, Mike.

It may be sacrilege, but I’m tempted to convert this to a tube fly. :o I’ve had good success with baitfish imitations as tube flies.

Muffler tape eh? That’s a new material for me to play with.

Beautiful baitfish imitation Norm.
