Fishing in New York for Salmon, Steelhead, Trophy Brown Trout, Steelhead Bass and Pike
Description
If you are going to fish streamers effectively, don't handicap yourself with inadequate tackle. Use enough gun! A six or seven weight outfit will fish big streamers much better than a four weight. It's also safer and less tiring too. Don't limit yourself to only floating line. To get the fly in front of fish in high, heavy water, a high density sink tip or full sinking line is a must. A clear intermediate is often effective in big, slow pools or for pounding the back from a drift boat. This is not sissy fly fishing! Use short heavy leaders (OX or 1X) with sinking lines and long heavy leaders with floating lines.
Don't be afraid to use very large flies. Many 8 inch trout are eaten by their brethren. In high water last June on the West Branch there was a week when BIG fish were feeding almost exclusively on 7 inch alewyfes, and we experienced some difficulty hooking up because our flies were too small. When the bait was dominated by 3 to 4 inch herring, we pounded big browns.
To consistently catch the biggest trout on streamers requires as much line manipulation and attention to presentation as dry fly fishing. Since you usually can't see your fly, it's more difficult to judge your presentation and make corrections. Unlike dry flies, you can't see the many fish that follow your fly or strike short.
