4 MUST HAVE Streamers For Trout!

[@garyrafferty7625]

Thanks for adding the black wooley bugger! The plain jane version you showed works best for me in stillwater (when fished with a sink and pulse technique) or when dead drifted above a heavier beadhead nymph or perdigon pattern (below an indicator or big foam dry) in moving water. If you want to jiggle and / or swing your bugger in freestone streams, it should have a beadhead (or conehead) and a little flash in the tail. Brown, olive and white buggers also work well. I like the olive bugger in still water where damsel flies live and brown buggers in streams where dragon flies or brown stoneflies reside.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

All really good recommendations on the bugger variants! Thanks for stopping by👊

[@hankvana2149]

Done well with all of these and agree that the Muddler is an good first choice. In recent years, I've been using Bob Popovic style bucktail streamers tied in lengths anywhere from 2 to 8 inches with excellent results. They're simple and effective baitfish imitations

[@greenhornflyhorn]

I have never used them and am not proud of that! They look amazing but I usually tie deceivers and clousers. This year I will try them on pike/musky. I bet they would dominate

[@barry4fish19]

You could include a zonker too, and a marabou leech. These two have been standards for me in addition to those. But I do fish warm water species more than trout, so there’s that. I also make sure to have wooly bugger variety in my box too, shallow and deep, beaded and non-beaded, different colors, etc.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Man!! I knew someone was going to call me out on the zonker!!😆😆 This video could’ve easily been 45 minutes long!

[@sethhornberger8192]

I have caught my biggest stream bred brown on a barely legal! Love that fly!

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Preach brother 🙌🙌

[@JohnRitson78]

I am curious and wondering if these are also applicable to brown trout here in the UK, as we don't have any other trout species? I have landed one on a large blue zulu fly, which I fished as a streamer in a last ditch attempt to catch something, it was my personal best for the river within the very first season. Prior to that, streamer fishing was unheard of by me, apart from a similar method used in Salmon fly-fishing of which I only dabbled as it is an expensive form of angling here in the UK. I will be giving streamers a go again this season as I can see the potential they offer, in fact I think I will be doing the same methods when I go for sea trout in the same rive at night.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Never been to the UK. But! If I was going to, I would bring those flies and show you blokes how it’s done!😆😆😆 Honestly, these are baitfish and leach imitations so if you folks have sculpins, rainbows(a barely legal is supposed to be a smolt rainbow) then you will do well.

[@rkgs2782]

A brown trout is a brown trout whether he is English or American. He will eat any of those flies with ease.

[@lukedejour]

Mini Dungeon in yellow is my go to fly.

[@jacobw132]

I love my dungeons, but if we’re talking browns, I’ve had such good success on mouse patterns. Other than that can’t beat the woolly

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Excellent streamers selection

[@alexhendrick8288]

Lighten up how much maribou you isein that legal and it will fish so much better. . My all time favorite stream as well! Great video great channel

[@greenhornflyhorn]

I have em in all kinds of platforms. I dig the bushy ones. Browns over here like bush. The sparse ones look cool when tying and if you sell em for sure, can’t argue there

[@alexhendrick8288]

@@greenhornflyhorn I tie both but for some reasons the sparse seems to work better here in Missouri. I think it's the forage base. Big rainbows love them as well. Thanks for reply keep up the great channel!

Get the job done EVERYTIME....bold, very bold

[@greenhornflyhorn]

@@flytyryguy yeah, i will agree it’s bold. Almost…….dare I say!?!? Too bold! Hahah! These get me on fish but I completely understand there are waterways that will humble you very fast! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 👍

[@flytyryguy]

@greenhornflyhorn yes I've been humbled many times

[@izakwalker6286]

I love all of Kelly Gallop’s streamers. The barely legal catches me more fish than anything else. I do better with an olive or brown bugger than a black but that’s just me. Zonkers are good as well.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Nice! Olive and brown are solid choices as well. You ever try a Zoo Cougar?

[@xplicitfishin]

Try a size 4 or 2 Barr's Meat Whistle. Absolutely deadly

[@greenhornflyhorn]

That’s an awesome fly! I really like it in chartreuse/white. Amazing for bass. I find the others work in all conditions but the Meat Whistle should have had an honorable mention.

[@Sirskibumsalot]

Barely legal will work and is working for fresh water stripers where im at now and solid white as well ....cant go wrong with the buggers and have lots of success with them in all colors when chasing trout . Ok thanks for the video keep them coming ...cheers 👍🏻

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Pure white Legal? Probably just deadly! I will try it next year for stripers when I go to the coast! Thanks for that🤘

[@jjames2162]

I would not use any of those. There are much better options

What would you use instead?

[@jjames2162]

@@greenhornflyhorn No apology necessary, I have a different opinion (not better or worse). If you lost a video on flies, it’s a discussion. No one should be offended and you shouldn’t feel compelled to apologize. Best wishes to you all and with respect 👍

[@jjames2162]

@@TieitAndFlyit Hi Ben, considering the flies about, I’m assuming they are fishing a similar system that I do. Which is strong fast big water and aggressive strong fish species. Here are my rules for flies - (1) it’s preferable to have a red nose. It attracts fish and the color red does very well in the color column of water (2) Small flies can catch big fish - I like traditional steelhead flied like Bennets Last alight, Tri-Flash Husker Du, and Grande Ron River Rat among others such as spey flies Picasse, Jones Special, Aldo Salmon (3) Size 3, 4, or 5 always never smaller or bigger including salt water (4) if you want articulation then anything by Jonathan Farmer such as the mini Graboid. But stay away from any weight if possible unless you are fishing a deep gorge. It’s just not necessary and a major mistake by most angler. The Hot Hare leech is the only exception aside from the Graboid but you’ll have to spin your own as the new version is skeletal (5) never make a fly longer or fluffier than your pinkie finger Enjoy yourself and be safe
