The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing Streamers 

I used a franceasy yesterday and caught my first river trout 😊

Awesome video Tom. I can’t stress enough how great and informative your videos are! I just bought my first fly fishing outfit the orvis Clearwater 10’ 5 weight and I can’t wait to put it to use! I also was gifted a fly tying vise and took kit and can’t wait to start tying my own flys.thanks again for the great videos keep them coming!🤙🤙🎣🎣🙏🙏

A good majority of my fishing is done with small streamers (#14 muddlers, micro buggers, etc). Small muddlers are a pitch perfect fly for more woodsy areas like mine. Unweighted ones imitate hundreds of moth species, large caddis and terrestrials…you can skitter them across the surface. Coneheads represent drowning versions of everything mentioned PLUS baitfish and all that fun stuff. One oddball technique that works on wild brook trout and stocked trout is to let it hang in the current downstream. I can’t tell you how many times I’d gotten to the end of a “drift”, let it hang for a second and BOOM. I used to resist that because I considered it to be bad technique. But it works beautifully and I’ve caught untold hundreds of trout that way over the years. Experience will always teach you what’s right and wrong. Aside from the muddlers, a dark woolly bugger (or woolly variant) is almost always gonna be king. Whatever they think it is, they often want it and I’ve long since stopped fighting that. If trout are highly educated, some of these things won’t work. But if you do your homework, know your quarry and plan accordingly…small streamers are about the best go-to, confidence bait out there…especially when there’s nothing hatching.

Tom’s fly fishing is the most funny show!!

Wow! This was great! Thank you.

Yesterday, I went to the Blanco River, wanted to try out some flies I tied . Using a wholly bugger variant I call a Sparkle Minnow. First cast, across current, let it swing down and as soon as it hit the slack current, started to strip the line. Instantly got hit, a Guadalupe Bass! It was as if the fish had seen the same videos on Swinging Streamers.

I am not a fan of “indicators”. I love to watch for the movement of the fly line at the leader connection when a fish takes the streamer. Adds to the art of fly fishing, and keeps it simple! Even a subtle strike is evident by the little jerk of the junction at the leader and fly line. Compare both options and see which one is more satisfying to you.

I do not remember watching this, but I gave it an updoot at some point. I'm going nuts trying to learn how to tie large streamers that work well.

Very informative video, I give my thanks and appreciation,tight lines

Very nice video followed by many useful tips! Thanks!

Great video and tips!

Wonderful 👍

What’s the streamer shown around the 0:07 mark?

When fishing in water with also pike in it, how do you prevent their sharp teeth will cut of your streamer? Using steel wires degerades the streamer's action. Especially smaller ones. What would you recommend to do?

Praise Tom

2:47 we throwing a football?🧐😂

Love it thanks

What's the white streamer at the start around 0.08? It looks like it was furled??

What about fishing lakes and ponds with streamers?

Do you fish the grand river

Here's a question, what weight fly rods would be suitable for walleye, pike, catfish and carp currently I only have a 5wt and definitely wouldn't trust it for those larger fish.

I want to know where the pace with the waterfall is about half way through the video

Thanks dad.

where is that spot at 14:00 my god its gorgeous

Класс! 👍🤝🇰🇿

Nice my friend place 🔔🔔👈👈🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗

Egg stash egg patterns

Nought not Ought . Dreadnought means Dread Nothing. In England and Australia we say 1/0h and so on .

Can I have your job? 😂

Not often I see anyone with the reel handle on the correct side.

Reels on the wrong way round 👍

And if you want to save money and catch more trout a size 2-3 maps spinner in gold

Just don't bother and get spinning rod.....it's hardly ' fly ' fishing??

The narration is hard to endure.
