I don't throw streamers for trout a lot. If I'm being honest, I just don't get to fish for trout a lot in general. I live over 100 miles away from the trout stream/lakes closest to me so it is a rare treat for me when I get to fish for them. With that being said, I have fly fished for trout for over 2 decades and have caught them in a variety of ways. Nymphing is productive and dry fly fishing is thrilling but streamer fishing is unique. When an otherwise docile fish chases down what it thinks is a smaller fish and hits your fly so hard that it almost rips the rod out of your hands, that is a thrill unlike any other.
When I ran across this article by Joe Cermele on FieldandStream.com, I knew it was a must-read for me. First of all, Joe is an outstanding writer. He does an excellent job of blending applicable information with humor. Second, after catching some brown and rainbow trout on small streamers on Lake Taneycomo with KC Flats Co., I was still in the mood to absorb more streamer info. This is a great primer for newbies or a good reminder for veteran streamer chuckers. I hope you get a few useful pieces of information from that article like I did!
