Deadly Pike Streamer Fly Tying Tutorial | Articulated Black Zonker with Holographic Black/Red Body

In this video I tie a fully articulated zonker streamer built for pike, and other aggressive predators. This pattern combines a black zonker strip over the top with a red/black holographic longhair body, creating a fly with incredible movement, flash, and contrast.

The articulated design gives the fly a lifelike swimming action, while the long saddle hackles and Flashabou tail add extra pulse and vibration. Perfect for murky water, low‑light conditions, or anytime you want a bold, high‑visibility streamer that triggers big fish.

Whether you’re new to articulated streamers or looking to expand your predator box, this step‑by‑step tutorial walks you through.
