    I've been fishing small to medium sized streamers on a floating line and a sinking tip line for a few years. I tie the streamers myself, and use a 5wt for river small mouth here in Michigan.

    ​@Sam Harrington if your able to pick up a sink line it's worth it forsure, but if you only can choose one stick with a floating line buy some sinking poly leaders. For most of my applications I get by with my sinking polyleaders and floating line I usually use a extra fast sink airflow polyleader I only really crack out the full sink for fishing a lake out of a boat

    When I started fly fishing a few years back, I sat at home and educated myself with many of his videos while sitting on the couch with a broken leg. I used that knowledge to become a pretty competitive fly fisherman. I never get skunked and impress the old timers at times. Mostly because of these videos and the recommended books.

    Mega Thx for such an Outstanding Video. Not only does it have tons of info for us new to fly fishing streamers, but most videos do not give such an excellent assortment of what flies that we can use in our presentations but you also help us select which smaller streamers that we can attempt to tie on own as we dabble in fly tying.

    How fantastic this video came out the same day I cleaned house catching smallies on the Shenandoah River using crayfish patterns (Murray's Crayfish) on a 6 wt floating line. So much fun. Also, I agree. Strip-Set is a must read. It took me back to the basics and helped me rediscover the joy in fishing with a basic streamer set-up.

    This is the best instructional fly fishing channel on you tube. Thank you Brian. This video is particularly helpful to me. I fly fish with a 6wt rod with a floating fly line. Two of my favorite stream/rivers have good populations of both smallmouth and good sized native brown trout so I have always wanted to try using streamers with my set up. My question: Would you use a tippet ring or micro swivel when building a leader as you described in the video and if so at what point in the leader would you put the tippet or micro swivel?

    I get this is mostly aimed at trout river fishing but for coastal seatrout (the brown trout version, not the usa saltwater variant) we almost always use a floating line and at least 9ft leader, most of the time more like 10 to15ft and reasonably small streamers, nymphs an shrimp patterns that also don't weigh much, or have just a little bit of weight added. When there is a lot of wind and waves or some deeper water, maybe a intermediate line is used at most. It works and is a ton of fun, seeing the bow wave of a hungry trout plowing after your fly, or just get that hard take out of nowhere.

My question is regarding the leader for streamers on float line. The tippet you used in the video was .010” or 1x . So my fly size would need to be 5 or 6? If I had a streamer that was smaller do I only need to change the size of the tippet section ?

    In Silver Creek Idaho I throw a lot of small unweighted leaches on 4X with leaders up to 14 feet on clear days. On cloudy days with chop I will go to 9 foot 3 or 2x

I’m smiling at my pretty teacher and nodding while being totally clueless but fascinated. No, you’re not what I would call a “Pretty teacher” but you definitely hold my interest and make me smile. With any luck one of these days I’ll be a second year Spanish student and have a clue. Lol Thank you so much for your videos. They are both entertaining and educational.

    Ive pretty much only thrown streamers on floating lines or sink tip lines, in fresh water for bass/pike and trout, or salt water fishing the Puget Sound for cutthroat and salmon. Ive tried sinking lines, and I dont seem to like them as much, and only use them when I absolutely have to. The standard floating line is really versatile stuff.

    Hey Brian, you mentioned Maxima clear as another option to the cortland- could you use maxima ultra green instead of maxima clear? I ask because I just went out and bought every diameter of MUG to build my own nymph and streamer leaders using tippet rings and micro swivels for my 5 wt rod based on another video you did 6 months ago. In that video, you were showing how to build 4’ leaders for sinking tip lines. I have decided to just stick to smaller streamer flies on floating line for my 4 wt and 5 wt rods so want to build these longer leaders now. BTW, these leaders have more sections than the sinking tip leaders, where would I attach the micro swivel or tippet ring on these?

    Much of everything we think we need to know (or have) is geekery, as with any topic if you dive deep enough into it. And i think the different fields of fishery cant be fully mastered in a lifetime, even if we tried. But that doesnt mean you cant get great results fast, even with modest equipment, and some research. The journey is the goal anyway, not the destination - so, start with the basics, instincts will show you the way and develop with practice. Expert-Lingo and techniques can be a bit overwhelming, as with most things worth learning - but today we can take shortcuts by using videos like this, saving us years of progress in short order. That is great. As i said, just start with the basics. The rest will follow. Enjoy the ride !

    What is considered, big heavy weighted flies? I throw anything from a 12 dry fly, to a beadhead, to 1/0 clousers. I have a a 5wt and a 8wt fly rods. I love throwing small streamers though. The rivers i fish range from 5" deep to 5 ' holes it, the depth is definitely wide ranged and anything from smallmouth to walleye run in it.
