Stripping streamers is one of the best ways to consistently catch large trout. When trout reach a certain size, their diet consists of bugs AND other fish. Remember that food chain thing you learned in grade school? If you’re hunting for the largest trout in a particular watershed, you’ll have a good chance of finding them with a large streamer pattern.

Choosing the right line will help to increase your chances of landing a monster on a streamer.
