Hey mcfly. Can you give me some pointers on fishing a streamer? Ive never done it before but i would like to try it somewhere in the week. Luv the vids! Have a nice one.

[@McFlyAngler]

Hard to explain over this, but... there are 3 common ways to fish a streamer. To strip it (you create motion) to swing it (use the water to move the line and your fly) and go dead drift (where it moves with the same speed as the river kinda like nymphing). Generally with swinging and stripping you wanna get your fly to pockets across the other side of the river. Then swing down through the run, or strip across it. With dead drifting, fish it just like a nymph rig. With an indicator or high stick style. Through runs and on the seams.

Gr8. Thanks. I'll go try it out!

[@McFlyAngler]

Yes thats true, up and down. I was thinking river fishing, sorry. On a boat, in a lake, you can jig for sure! :)
