My Favorite STREAMERS

[@andyfincham1]

Is it just me, or does chucking coneheads feel like 5.56 rounds passing by? Seriously though, that rusty trombone…aside from sounding like something Sanchez….is some top shelf smallmouth medicine.

[@JohnnyFinns]

Thanks for the video! Could you do another following up with sink tips / rates and how you like to use certain rates in riffles vs deep eddies/banks? Love the videos! Keep em coming! ✌🏼🤙🏼

[@bscjake]

Lot of high water this winter here but my faves to tie so far Barely Legal, Peanut Envy, Rusty Trombone, Black Mamba. I come from bass background so streamers make sense to me more than nymphing

[@itsmisterbojangles]

When the dog bites When the bee stings When I’m feeling sad… I simply remember my favorite streamers And then I don’t feel so baaaaaad..

[@SeemsLikeSomething]

You called them bobbers. You’re my new favourite person.

[@Odhege8262]

What else would you call them?

[@andrewwebster13]

Sighter, indicator, float

[@Odhege8262]

@@andrewwebster13you must be a huge fly fisherman.

[@SeemsLikeSomething]

@@Odhege8262 fly fisherman are notoriously stubborn to admit they’re just bobbers. They call them indicators usually to make it sound more adult lol

[@bryanmorgan6217]

You can’t forget the Clouser … very versatile dude!

[@shanepierce401]

Took me a while but finally started fishing the unweighted wedge heads, D&Ds and the like. Heavy sink tip and a shorter leader and had some good results on our local rivers

[@Baylor_Barrow_Outdoors]

You need to wade fish Montana. I don’t remember the last time I saw someone do that.

[@dirkvannieuwenhove]

Hi Ben, great video! Just one question because I only tie pike or perch flies here but am going to fish in Iceland (where my brother lives) and there they seem to use a lot of wooly buggers and streamers like the zonker strip one with the same cone heads. Are these tungsten cones or what should I be looking for (apart from buying locally based on local knowledge)? I would like to prepare some of both types of streamers for next year. Thank you for your reaction!

[@pierceval95]

Definitely grab a 7wt sometime, can be a solid streamer rod! able to throw a wide range of streamer sizes for bass and trout, at least that's what I use mine for

[@charlieboutin3341]

Man that’s a beauty of a fish! Thanks for the streamer recommends, I’ll be tying some for largemouth. 👍👌🎣

[@ColoradoFishDr]

An even-numbered guy - I like it! I roll odd - 3-5-7-9. Most streamers for trout get thrown on the 5 or the 7. What size Rusty Trombones do you like?

[@JP-dz7zu]

Galloup is like 5’8 150 pounds. I wouldn’t worry about him kicking anyone’s ass. Plus he’s a nice guy.

[@jcarry5214]

I dunno man he's got that dense montana muscle. His hands look like a bricklayer's to my eye.

[@quincyrozeff7027]

Kelly is jacked dude he’d kick Ben’s ass any day 😂

[@rustyknott-W.D]

I use the same flies all the time wherever I go, too! Catch plenty.

[@lukesharkey1]

Hey I went and found Kelly gallops channel to see if I also thought with no relevance at all whether or not he could indeed ‘kick your ass’ as you and others have mentioned. Whilst Kelly does seem quite feisty and I suspect when he’s fuming he’d definitely use some choice language and angry histrionic’s . Never the less I think you’d be in with a chance with good head movement, and perhaps utilise a Philly shell to good affect and you could win on points.

[@SkidinDingo]

i used to be an even numbers guy but for some things the odds are just money. my favorite rod for bass, carp, and streamer fishing trout is a fiberglass 7 weight with a fast glass action and a wulff ambush line. i run it straight floating a lot, but i also carry around a 50 grain sonar sinking leader (its a poly leader, just scientific anglers) and for swinging and stripping streamers its fantastic. its also bright red so i look like a sith lord (read: giant dweeb) using it so i like that too.

[@marklarsen4424]

Steamers are great for pike, bass, carp, and walleye. Don't limit the targets, because it's all fun!

[@mattykraemer]

Ben- always carry white: my first musky take was on a completely white buck tail streamer. It was “insane” also “epic” and “sick”

[@headClock]

This is the video we needed! Next we need is poppers and topwater

[@TheRealNelson1]

Do those articulates flies count as multiple hooks? Like if the warden checks in on you, how does it count? I know I've seen guys fish with a nymph dropper off of a streamer.

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Yes, that counts as 2 hooks. Droppers off of streamers work real good if you’re into snagging fish in the butt, because that’s what’s gonna happen. #oldguidetrick

It's always streamer season.

[@jaredtandle2596]

I've never thrown a streamer out. Maybe I should give it a shot. My hat don't have a flat bill though.

[@WallyStamski]

Thank you so much for making this video

[@michaellederman5131]

love the Rusty T

[@onthefly5105]

Yes, I know… fly fishing in Ohio sucks compared to everywhere else. 😢 BUT 💯 percent on the white cone head Zuddler…. That thing KILLS with the smalleys here in the Buckeye state. And another 💯 FULL SEND on the Rusty Trombone (or the “trusty Rusty” cuz, well… kids are watching😂). That streamer was outSTANDING for big browns on the S Holston in TN. Two fantastic picks.

[@ithacaster]

Olive and copper go together like you and a beer.

[@NovemberRain1858]

Ben, you’re my hero.

[@aldenkoskoff8786]

That’s funny I’m an odd numbers guy w the rods lol

[@Jerflyfisher]

Even numbers is where it's at trust me 😏

[@halfasshuntingclub5330]

Which one hurts the least when it smacks you in the back of your head?

[@bscjake]

Dungeon has cushy deer hair but 2 hooks so soft but stabby ;)

[@TNFlies]

Gonna have to tie some rusty trombones now

[@ozarkplateauoutfitters]

8mm Tangerine Bead is always my go to streamer….

[@alexhendrick8288]

Kelly was a boxer is probably why people feel inclined to suggest his ability to beat your butt. 😂 also using same three streamers as well. But barely legal ... dungeon .... and bangtail

Did you just profess to being an “even numbers guy” then put forward a list of three flies on purpose? If so, your stock is up.

Been using the same 6 types of fly up and down the east coast of Australia for the past 5 years. Before that I was an idiot who thought you must match the hatch. Not true. Just learn to present better. Less flies to tie that way too...
