    Default Streamer Patterns For Brown Trout

    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...



    S
    PRUCE-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...

    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.
