Favorite Streamer For Trout

[mojoman]

In my area South Okanagan I tend to use either Erie Streamer or a Little Fort....of course...buggers always up your chances of a good fish... ))

I like streamers with lots of flash so I can cover lots of water quickly. All my buddies use rooster tail spinners with spinning rods and are constantly moving. To keep up I like using smelt patterns with as much flash I can get in them.

I've had good luck with some of Doug Swishers streamers, the Fluzzie, the Polar Bear, and the Red Collared Wacker. I've also had good luck in the upper Delaware with a white Zonker.

There is a fine line between fly fishing, and standing in the water waving a stick.

Depending on the water and matchng the hatch the following are superb. Keep in mind that minnows are as varied as are insects and if we acknowledge that trout can key into a particular caddis hatch we can certainly figure out they'll key on a particular forage minnow.

for a couple of favorite streamers and better yet as I am a big fan of bucktails, the

Cosseboom
The Sushan Postmaster
Black Nosed Dace

or for more of an attractor the

Royal Coachman or
Lt Spruce Fly and I prefer these tied with white goat hair as a bucktail rather than a streamer.

Don't know if'n this classifies as a streamer, but it does a right fine job pestering troutoids (and most anything else) that are munching minnows.

The one tip I don't think anyone said: Make sure your streamer is not larger than the trout will take! If the trout average less than three pounds don't go with sizes larger than 10 or 12. -Migs

Like most of the other respondents, I don't think that you can go wrong with a black or olive Wooly Bugger. Muddlers, in natural colors, are pretty safe bets also. While I love the old, classic streamers and bucktails, they don't compare to buggers and muddlers.

Reuel,I believe I mentioned in one of the responses that I am fishing in the small streams of northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, and southwest Wisconsin and by trout that pretty much means for every species of trout.

Well heres one for yeah , tie a buck bug so that it is sparsely hackled. Cut the body in a pencil shape,long even length like a pencil, no rounded shape at all, this pencil bodied buck bug is a great wet fly/ streamer. You can also add some longer hackle to the palmer instead of a conventional length to give that wavy undulating motion. Looks alot like a wooly worm/bugger, but has more boyancy.

Ever since I first saw one I thought it would catch fish; it did and still does.
