Paradise Style Streamer

The Paradise Style Tarpon Streamer was designed by legendary fly tyer and guide Tim Borski, who became famous for his innovative saltwater fly patterns crafted specifically for challenging species like tarpon. Developed in the warm waters of the Florida Keys during the late 1990s, this fly was born from Borski’s quest for a durable, lifelike pattern that mimicked injured baitfish—a favorite meal of large migratory tarpon. Its sparse, flowing materials allow for an enticing action in the water, even with minimal movement, making it effective in both calm and choppy conditions. The Paradise Style Tarpon Streamer is now a go-to fly for anglers targeting trophy tarpon in tropical flats, backcountry channels, and coastal estuaries worldwide.

Work the Swing with Depth Control: In deeper channels or edges of mangroves, allow the fly to drift naturally in the current by using a floating line paired with a weighted fly. Strip only enough to keep it moving erratically—this imitates a panicked fish trying to escape predation.
