Favorite Streamer For Trout
Here it is a chance to help me out, Im just getting into streamer fishing and the only streamer I know that can produce results for me so far is a white, brown, and olive wooley bugger. Any suggestions on something different that I could tie up that could produce the same or even better results on trout?
Thank You
Marko
Marko,
Semiseal leech. Very easy tie, hugely effective fly (not just for trout, though, lots of fish will eat it). Comes in lots of great colors. My personal favorites are black, brown and olive, but chartruese and orange are good too.
You might want to consider a traditional bucktail type streamer or it's more modern variations (the Gierach Special and it's friends are a favorite of mine). Simple tie, the variations can imitate most minnows and fry.
Still, hard to beat the 'bugger, though.
Good Luck!
Buddy

Foxee Clouser is a great one, and anything with magnum sized bunny strips.....

Black Bugger, Foxee Clouser, and a White Crystal Bugger are my top 3.
My favorites (in this order):
1. Shenk's white minnow in size 8 or 10
2. Clouser' Foxee Minnow in size 10
3. All black Woolly Bugger with flash in the tail.
Any of these 3 will catch trout where I fish. These are my go to flies when I can't figure out what they're eating.

Small black or white marabou muddler...come on, no muddler fans out there??

Its very hard to beat a woolly bugger in effectiveness. The only pattern to come close is the muddler minnow.
Ditto on the Muddler, my favorite is a small (size 10 3XL hook) Muddler with a conehead. Make the tail and wing out of grouse, the body out of peacock. Another one I like is a Smuddler, use a size 14 3XL hook, some red hackle fibers for the tail, silver tinsel for the body, and a deer hair head, no wing.
