This related to my other post. Does anyone have any specific streamer patterns they tie to fish for brown trout. Just curious.

Bruce,
I'm a pretty poor streamer fisherman, but here's a couple patterns that work very well on some of the tailwaters here in MT
Kreelex
hook - TMC 5262 #6
thread - UTC 140 yellow
tail/belly - Kreinick Flash-in-a-Tube gold (Flashabou works great, too)
wing - Kreinick Flash-in-a-Tube copper
eyes - dumbell medium gold silver
Hickman's Skiddish Smolt
hook - Dai Riki 700 #4
thread - Danville monocord white
underbody - silver tinsel
body - midge tube red
underflash - Mirage Flashabou opal
overflash/underwing - Flashabou silver
collar - Ice Dub pearl
wing - ostrich herl grey
head - 1/4" cone silver
Old favorites like yellow Marabou Muddlers work, too. Lots of others out there; I'm sure the better streamer folks will chime in.
Regards,
Scott

Depends on where I am going to be fishing. On my favorite water, the East Walker River, in Bridgeport, CA...or the Owens River near Bishop, CA, here are a couple of patterns I have used over the years that have consistently provided large Browns...
SPRUCE-A-BOU...
SEAL BUGGER VARIANT...
DH FROG...yep, on top, with the weed guard snipped off and the hook canted...some of the largest Browns I have taken, on the EWR, have come to this guy in the Spring...
OWENS "OFFENDER"... works for Browns, but also took this 9lb. /4oz. Rainbow , in a lake, two weeks ago...
...and this Ralph Cutter pattern for the EWR...

I like Kelly's patterns for where they were specifically designed...

This one is my first choice.

I know this is not a very exciting suggestion, but I fished the South Platte in Elevenmile Canyon 2 weeks ago and one of the days the larger browns were all over the plain old boring black Wooly Bugger.
