Beginners guide to streamer fishing.

[@peconicgp]

My guy Chris gives me my camera reviews and my fly fishing reviews. Two favorite hobbies!

[@C0DSwAgGeR98]

As a new fly fisherman, your videos are by far my favorite. To the point, easy to understand, and full of helpful information. Thank you!

[@BowRiverTroutfittersCalgary]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching our vids!

I heard a voice while driving... WTHeck! Is this an April fools joke? I was waiting for a Nikon Z9 to pop out to talk about 120 fps! 😆 🤣😂! #AWESOME #RESPECT

By far the best streamer tutorial I've come across! Love the simplicity of the knot to the streamer (I'm a rock climber as well, simple is best). Many thanks! I'm new to your series, but one question I would have is how you adjust your tactics and cast for larger streamers/fish?

[@BowRiverTroutfittersCalgary]

We still cast the same way for larger fish and at least here in the Bow River you don't necessarily need bigger flies for bigger fish. We do tend to use quite strong tippet with streamers here. Typically we use fluorocarbon or heavy mono, and usually around 15lbs strength. We have some big trout here and it's nice to have extra strength to pull hard and land them quickly. Also wary fish really need the best presentations possible so we will really dial in our sink tips and adjust for depth of pool and speed of water. Especially at times of year when the fish don't want to move much, you have to be able to get it right in front of them with the right weight and proper mending of the line.

Thanks For Sharing!

This helps going to try streamers here in northern ca. sierra area. Been fly fishing for years but never streamers. Should be interesting.

[@niccollsvideo]

We hope it goes well for ya. Just remember to give the slack they need at the start to get down so when the current does grab them, they at the good depth.

Thank you Chris. Though I'm no fly angler, over my years of fishing Bow river, used the same approach with lures, spoons and minnows shaped lures, successfully. The only downside was getting snagged and loosing lures, which I suppose would be less an issue with lighter streamers.

[@niccollsvideo]

Yah lures can get pretty pricey too! When you tie your own flies though and snag them, it's your hard work sitting at the bottom of the river and that can be pretty tough too! 😁

[@kamarte]

Yeah, either a snagged lure or a tied fly would be a bummer...lol Some lure anglers use some sort of lure retrievers to save rescue lures.... do fly anglers have/use something similar?

[@BowRiverTroutfittersCalgary]

We have a technique called, Jiggle the line really fast, throw some desperate roll casts at the fly, and yank really hard. In a somewhat more serious tone, we do try to get above the fly in the current. Generally if you can pull from straight above the fly it will pop out nicely.

Yeah Nick!

[@vaclavurban3063]

Very usefull. Thank you

[@roneykaithpalmaria]

Great video! Thank you!!

[@mikestrate1468]

Is the sink tip basically a leader? And do they come on different wts? Why do u use regular fluorocarbon instead of tippet?

[@BowRiverTroutfittersCalgary]

The Sink Tip does replace a standard tapered leader and then you have your tippet coming off of that. We like fluoro but there is nothing wrong with strong mono as well. For streamer fishing we like around 10 to 15lb strength regardless.

[@deanellis4166]

New-ish to fly fishing. When I bought my rod I got a 5wt. Can I still effectively streamer fish the bow?

[@BowRiverTroutfittersCalgary]

It's a little light especially if you want to put a sink tip on as well. But you can certainly do it. Stick to lighter, and shorter 3 ips sink tips, like the Airflo 5 ft Polyleaders. And stick to lighter unweighted streamers. Let the sink tip get them down and you should be ok.
