I’ve been fishing the lower salt river. It’s getting better every week, any streamer with chartreuse will do. Any minute now the topwater bite will pick up at Bartlett lake. The water will be boiling in the morning. Fish shad colored poppers, be there early. Have fun out there! *the guys at AZ Fly Shop can help you out too. Az-51 and Cactus Rd

I have fished streamers swing style the last few years but noticed you chucking up stream in some previous videos. I gave that a shot recently in an isolated ID river (you know the one, haha) and had a nice Cuthroat hit it almost the instant it hit the water. Also, another factor my cousin pointed out with that presentation, when you're fishing skitish wild fish, they are generally head into the flow and they won't see you before they see your fly.

And this is why I got some streamers from Red with your code :P

Awesome video!! Just got a super picky wild brown on an olive bugger yesterday when it wouldnt touch anything else. Swung it downstream and it almost ripped the pole out of my hands LOL

Nice video Fly Fish Dan. Streamers are great, you can cover a lot of water and the setup is simple and easy to cast.

Very true!

Had a cutty hammer an ugly purple and brown fly I found in a tree. It's hideous. But it catches.

I love streamer fishing, your right they produce bigger bites! And staying simple in color patterns to fish is the way to go! I'm a firm beliver in matching the hatch!

Thanks Dan for your entertaining video and educational comments.

While I still classify myself as "subintermediate," the first fish I ever caught on a fly rod was with the proverbial Wooly Bugger. You have taught me about leech patterns and "sculpzilla" (how can a name like that NOT catch big fish?) I am going on the lower Sacramento River in two weeks with a friend who guides. While drifting nymphs is the go to, I so want to be able to call us the Sultans of Swing!

Great video. Many streamer flies now have some added weight. Tungsten bead, bullet head, lotsa lead wire, etc. These flies are not much different than a spinning jig. A heavier rod and line is needed. You might be able to 'lob' a weighted streamer with a 10 foot 3 weight, but awkwardly.

Ha! The Tequeely gets NO love from trout guys... I have never really considered putting one of those in my trout box, but it has a well earned permanent spot in my smallmouth box. I always appreciate these videos from Dan, they are well made and contain a lot of sound info. Just keep in mind he's talking trout here. If you want to target bass, the formulas seldom overlap. Presentations mentioned here are solid, but fly selection will be a whole different ballgame. Long live Tequeely! Lol

Thanks Dan. You really know how to explain these things well to us newbies. The season is almost over but I'll be practicing on my front lawn all winter. I'm mostly a trout fisherman so what is the best net to carry around that does the least damage to the fish and costs under $100???

You are most welcome! Any net that has a rubber netting works great for releasing fish unharmed. I love the Hellbender, but they are a bit pricey if you are on a budget.

One more trick: The Hang Down. When you’re fly comes to the end of a swing, with your rod tip pointing downstream in a reasonable amount of current (not dead water), be still for 4 or 5 seconds and let it settle to the bottom. A lot of times fish have followed it across, and when they see that sculpin (or whatever) start to settle into a hiding spot on the bottom they’ll hammer it. Then, pick it up and give it a few strips as one final enticement before finishing the retrieve and re-casting it.

@@FlyFishDan I picked up a 21" wild rainbow on the Skykomish on the Hang Down. That day completely sold me on the technique, and have had a good number of fish that way since then. Good luck!

I have heard other experienced fly fisherman say that when adding movement to streamers, such movement should be consistent and predictable when swinging flies. Their basis is that trout are ambush predators, and want to expend the least amount of energy possible, and as such will likely not go after a target if it is perceived too radical in it's movement. I personally have caught fish using consistent, and erratic motion, so I continue to mix it up in-between, but thought I would see if you had any opinion on this Dan. Personally for me it is hard to tell a difference in the time I have been trying to keep track since I heard this advice.

@FlyFishDan

I too vary things up while fishing for these reasons - I've had fish get interested when aggressively stripping back...and some that will strike with just the marabou doing all the moving. Great comments - Cheers!

@akillgore4229

If I could add my own thoughts to this I would say that a consistent presentation with a lot of movement is good for most scenarios. There is a particular streamer retrieve called a jerk strip that can be worked in very short motions for slower movement through the water while still allowing the fibers on the fly to undulate a lot. That undulation is often times what produces a strike. If you ever watch a big streamer move through the water when you're just stripping line with no movement from the rod tip, those fibers will stay tucked back on the fly, and it looks like you're pulling a big stick through the water.

Great helpful video. Can't help but feel like I've fished this exact spot before lol. I won't get too specific, but is this North Bend headed up toward Snoqualmie?

Hell yeah man, Tequeely gets dunked on constantly by anyone that's never tried one! Hell, I'm just as guilty. I thought that thing looked like the insides of my phone charger the first time I saw it. Glad I decided to listen to my local shop guy! Now, I have never tried one on trout, so maybe that's where the discrepancy lies. I do tend to keep my trout box very simple, as I mostly have small bows and browns near me. Big browns WILL ABSOLUTELY SMASH whatever beastly smally streamer you can chuck at them though. I think I will dedicate my next trout trip to landing one on the good ol Tequeely! I will make some noise if it turns out to be successful... lol Long live Tequeely!

You can yes - they just kink your line (I have never used them for that reason). Weakens the line in that spot

@JamesSpeaker

Жыл бұрын

Shouldn't need to - fish streamers that are weighted or that have bead/cone heads. Fishing streamers in moving water is usually done with a sink-tip line or a poly leader. I carry poly leaders in my pack of various sink rates so I can just loop them to the end of my floating line when I'm switching from dries or nymphing to streamer fishing. As Dan said, using a split is not recommended with streamers, it's going to also monkey with the casting as it causes a hinge.
