Here's a link to a step-by-step tying tutorial for the tequeely streamer:  http://www.charliesflyboxinc.com/flybox/details.cfm?parentID=184

All the Gar I've caught have been on the TeQueely Streamer. It's got a black and yellow marabou tail and the body is tinsel chenille in copper with 3 pairs of yellow rubber legs. Now it could be that I caught my first gar on a Tequeely so now I choose to fish it whenever I see gar... 

I've heard good things about rope flies, but never tried them. Never heard anything about a color preference, though...

Decided to take the day off throw legal caution to the wind and take my inflatable pontoon to roaches run/duck pond/water fowl sanctuary. Fished along the banks using everything with no success. However when I got to the out flow to the Potomac there was a lot a surface action. As I got closer I could see large slender fish breaking the surface the diving back down similar to a dolphin breach. I began casting a large clouser with no success. As I drifted closer more I could see the spotted tail of huge gar racing through the water. They were traveling in groups and were in the 24 to 36 range and as thick as a football.  Needless to say I pulled my toes out of the water. 

Does anyone know a fly(colors) to throw to these spawning gar? I don't think they were feeding and did not seem agressive as the approached my boat sever times.
