TUBE STREAMERS FOR CHARLIE (part 1)
Fishing streamer flies on streams that has hatches is often the angler's last resort, however there are many times throughout the year when streamers are not only the best option but they are also the most effective choice for the savvy angler.
Once, when presenting a lecture on the effectiveness of streamers one of the angler's told me that his "particular stream had plenty of hatches and therefore minnow imitations were of little use on his stream." I was interested in this comment and asked what stream he was referring to and if he spent much time using streamer imitations on this water? He replied that no he didn't use any streamers but he knew the due to the hatches they would be ineffective!
