UK River Fly Fishing With Streamers

Andy tackles a local stretch of creek with streamer style flies in hope of wild brown trout. Using flies like the Sculpin, Woolly Bugger and articulated lures, searching the stream with floating and streamer tip fly lines. Will the predatory trout like these tactics, or should Andy have stuck to his usual dry fly and euro nymph kit?

Loving your videos Andy.New to fly fishing but never tried streamers yet,feel that's about to change.Keep up the great work.

[@bobhope5773]

I hope you both are having a wonderful days fishing, the weather here is superb! I just wanted to drop you a line just to remind you that currently " I am the trout Queen" A monastery is in financial trouble, so it goes into the fish-and-chips business to raise money. One night a customer knocks on its door. A monk answers. The customer asks, “Are you the fish friar?” “No,” he replies. “I’m the chip monk.” Ba dum tish! XD

Great video once again!!!! I started off fly fishing on trout lochs and fisheries using streamers and its great fun!!! I've never tried the method on rivers though. Perhaps I'll have a go next season!! 😁 All the best for the grayling season. Stay safe 😁😁😁

[@ernsthorn2788]

Very enjoyable episode and excellent commentary. I can see you're really having some fun! Good casting! As a former guide here in Alaska, I am about to grab the streamer rod myself. Love those crushing grabs!

Andy it would be nice to see you target pike on the fly over the winter. You like your lure fishing so why not combine your fly fishing skills into this area of the sport. It would be nice to see some more pike fly fishing videos on KZbin.

Please please please!!!

Great vid Andy tell ib Stillwater fishing inthe winter can just be like streamer fishing

[@ezedjay]

That was awesome Andy you big woolly bugger :) You could have LRF'd it too and caught loads. I missed it this year(covid na na na na nineteen) - but there's a few days at the end of summer where I usually catch Bream and Hybrids on LRF/small shads. Perch season is just about upon me now though - first proper session later today on some new water - can't wait.

Nice video again, enjoyed it. Have you tested the Cortland Competition MK II Nymph #3 - 10.6 ft rod?

Hello there, thank you for the interesting and informative video's. What is the net you are using? Thanks.

[@colincampbell5181]

Well done Andy! Great session ! ......I don’t think the trout could’ve been any more on than they were ,you must have given them a good talking to 😝

[@mscustomlures]

Nice one Andy, those bigger trout tend to T-bone streamers I've found, normally the tail nips are from smaller fish unless you're swinging them which I've found pretty shit for hook ups. They still do the streamer tip which for that kind of water looks ideal, it's a bit slow for some of the places I chuck streamers I could get by with it if it was the only line I had but prefer a faster sink tip or a full sink depending on what the pool dictates. It's an awesome method though and hopefully more people might realise it's not just a method for when days are slow it's an out and out fish catching method in itself 🎣🎣

[@emilyglasgow552]

Would love to see another perch fishing video !!

[@AndyPandyFlyTying]

Cool video man, just ordered some sculpin heads as normally I just use a wolley bugger...probably should have tied sculpins more but I've been lazy... AP

[@bensteer3778]

My go to method up here in Scotland. Works extremely well. Absolutely love it. The sea trout and salmon take them too.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

We're a long way from either species here I'm afraid 🙈😂

[@bensteer3778]

Awesome video as usual definitely my favourite fishing channel on here, what size hook and what size are the fish skulls? Any chance of a video of you tying some streamer pattern would love to try this next season?

Only newish to fly fishing all all I've done before is all with drys, so this was good to learn about streamers. Just need a wets video now!!! Anybody recommend a great video how to use wet flies in rivers? Andy?

Another really entertaining episode Andy. Pretty good average size to the fish too. The one you lost was seriously big.

Yeah I really missed out there, so frustrating! That's fishing I guess!

[@ROLLRIGHTYT123]

Nice fish👍

[@joedawson8990]

Really enjoyed this one. I am the trout queen!

[@andrewbowen8122]

Yeah absolutely right on my local river in Lancashire going back as far as 15yrs ago, come September I would often revert to fishing streamers particularly in the evening and often into the darkness to target the large fish that feed on minnows. Some of these large trout make it a habit of coming out at night and in spates. The tail end of large deep pools is where I had success and on one night I had a personal best wild brown of four pounds and 12 more all over the pound mark.

[@scotsmaninthephilippines1659]

Nice one Andy, good fishing good filming too, which I'm guessing was some careful editing. But just great fishing. I've relied on you and IB for my virtual fishing as I've missed my pilgrimage to my home turf, West Lothian Scotland.

I am the trout queen 👑🙂 Wow Andy, what a brilliant streamer session!! I've never tried this method before and I guess it's going to be a while before I'll get a chance now the season is over (we're early finishers) Is this a method for early season as well? All the best, great vlog!! 😊

[@IBandAndyFishing]

It sure is Nicholas, they're very predatory fish!

[@adrianfaunt8407]

"I AM THE TROUT QUEEN" Great vlog again Andy .

[@marcocapozzella]

Superb video as always, you where on them from the word go, all season or what we had of the season anyway i had the streamer set up in the car but end up going straight to the nymph rod really have to give this bash next year streamers seem to be super effective can i ask what size of hooks your tying with these streamers. thanks for sharing as per Andy.

[@MrMdebenham]

Cracking fish there Andy! I AM THE TROUT QUEEN!

[@andrewbowen8122]

A short furled leader and tippet is a great way to go.

[@davesgonefishing322]

Great video “I am the trout queen”

[@Adventuristic89]

I’m mostly doing nymph fishing these days but my river has some lovely deep pool sections that I’m always walking past thinking I need to bring another rod & pull some streamers through this but never do 😂 really because there’s plenty obstacles on my fishing day & carrying two rods would be a pain! I use a cortland 3wt nymph rod mostly do you think it would be ok to switch out spools to a dry sink tip & fish streamers on the pools? Or best take the correct rod?

[@simonpilgrims]

How can you tell a stockie brown from a wild brown? Brilliant video Andy many thanks

Great vlog Andy! What size woolly bugger were you using?

[@carlwaine5263]

Great video, Andy. I've done well on the Dove with streamers though I'm not that comfortable with it, no matter how hard I try! However, there is no doubting it also attracts the bigger trout. By the way, which knot do you use to attach your streamers? I do like the idea of the extra articulation the loop gives.

[@fliesbychris]

I am the trout Queen. Hmm that just doesn't sound right. Keep em coming!! ATB Chris

[@tame_UK]

Great vid! Where do you get your streamer flies from? Not many places in the U.K. seem to supply sculheads etc. Or do you tie them yourself?

[@guernica8487]

Hi Andy, really want to have a go at this. What sort of range of fly weight are we talking on a #5/6. I see it a different knot too, what's it called? Thanks again, great stuff as always, I will be trying to get some of your time when the world returns to normal. 👍

[@johncarrigan9352]

Interesting comment about the metabolism. Im certainly no expert on fish metabolism. I would have thought that in cooler conditions, they would need more food though. In warm blooded mammels thats normally the case. We essentially burn more energy to keep warm.

[@davidduncan6811]

Hi Andy. Really enjoyed the fishing and the filming. Do you have clips on how to tie the 2 streamers. Thanks Dave.

[@jamesm.kingesq.7035]

I am The Trout Queen! Nope, pretty sure IB is the Trout Queen, and I have been looking forward to the day you made this video directly! Thank you! Also, do you find that streaming upstream, downstream, or cross stream provides the most natural presentation, or do you think it doesn't matter?

[@sgrahammd]

Do you ever use a mouse pattern? Do you ever fish at night or very very early in the morning?

[@justFishing95]

Good fun on the streamers but i always find hook ups to be alot harder on the fly than spinning even if its with one hook

Hi guys, I'm having a go at this method tomorrow, I've a 10ft #7 or 9ft #5, which rod would you recommend using? Both are AtomSix Hyperions. Not sure if you'll get this in time.

I am the trout queen. A really good video and definitely going to try that next year👍🏼🎣. In the video you fished down stream. Can you fish it up stream or dose it not really matter?

[@bensteer3778]

I personally find it works better upstream in small rivers and streams or when it’s low and clear. In big rivers you are far enough away that it doesn’t matter.
