BanannaRama

The "BanannaRama" fly (sometimes spelled BananaRama) is a wildly effective streamer pattern designed to mimic a small, distressed fish. It is particularly effective for bass, pike, trout, and steelhead, especially in murky water or low-light conditions. 
Key Features and Effectiveness
  • Attraction: The fly's vivid yellow color and bold profile are highly visible and trigger aggressive strikes from predatory fish.
  • Movement: It features a rabbit strip tail that provides a lifelike wiggling motion in the water, irresistible to fish.
  • Design: Heavy dumbbell eyes help the fly sink quickly and, importantly, keep the hook pointed up, which significantly reduces snags when fishing in structure or near the bottom.
  • Versatility: While a favorite for river smallmouth bass, its effectiveness extends to a wide variety of fish species across different environments. 
Typical Materials
Though specific recipes might vary slightly by the tier, the primary materials usually include:
  • Hook: A stout streamer hook (commonly in sizes 4, 6, or 8).
  • Eyes: Heavy dumbbell eyes (often lead or brass), which provide weight and ensure the hook rides point-up.
  • Tail: Rabbit fur strip (Zonker strip), usually in a bright yellow or chartreuse color.
  • Body: Often made of crystal chenille or bucktail, sometimes with additional Flashabou or Krystal Flash integrated for extra shimmer. 
Fishing the BanannaRama Fly
The BanannaRama is fished using streamer techniques. It is most effective when stripped or retrieved in a manner that makes the rabbit strip tail pulsate and "wiggle" like a small baitfish. Its heavy eyes help it get down to the strike zone, even in fast current or deep pools.
