Streamer Fishing

Streamer fishing is how you target the biggest, most predatory fish in any river or lake, and it's one of the most exciting forms of trout fishing there is. Throwing large articulated patterns on a sink-tip, stripping them through deep pools and along undercut banks, triggers aggressive feeding responses from fish that would never rise to a dry fly. Big brown trout, aggressive rainbows, smallmouth bass, and pike all respond to streamers in ways that will make your heart stop. The eat is visual, violent, and completely addictive.

Rod and line setups, retrieve variations, fly selection, reading water for predatory fish - our streamer content covers all of it. Dig into the guides and articles below to build a complete streamer game.
