Real estate appraiser and entrepreneur Tim Williams has founded such companies as Single Point Solutions, Williams Research Group, and Idaho Research Group. Away from his professional endeavors as an appraiser in Idaho, Tim Williams enjoys exploring the outdoors and fly fishing.
Although a wide variety of fishing flies come readymade, many anglers prefer to handcraft their own. The bucktail streamer is a good place for beginners to start developing their skills with building artificial lures. Beyond the standard hook, the needed materials for this fly include a bucktail, thread, and cement, all available at most outdoor sporting retailers.
Start by securing the hook in a vise and then wrap a small section of the hook shank with thread, moving from the eye downward. With the thread evenly in place, next remove a small piece of hair from the bucktail, dab it with a small amount of cement, and fasten it to the hook. Complete the fly by wrapping additional thread around the hook eye and bucktail.
