In this episode Matt talks about factors to consider when matching streamers to river conditions. This includes river and environmental factors, and three big things to pay attention to when you're buying flies or deciding what tie for the next big trip. No, we're not going to tell you exactly what fly to throw but we hope this will help you pay attention to the correlations between what works in certain conditions and why.
As always, leave us some comments! We love hearing from you! Have you found a fly selection system that works for you or is it just a free for all?

The pacing and delivery of information was on point! Definitely subscribing.
Great tutorial. Mentioning a deerhair mouse, @ a show a guide from Alberta gave me one. Not unlike the sculpin, killer lure. Fished anywhere, anytime.
I had the opportunity to fly fish on the manistee and couldn't believe the trout i was catching. Beautiful river with beautiful fish. Michigan might just be my favorite state.
Glad you were able to enjoy some of what our state has to offer. We love how diverse these fisheries are here!
Thanks!
Just found your channel and i like what i see. I am definitely subscribing.
Good information, Matt.
Great camera presence. Keep up the awesome work.
Do a couple cuts to references. Like a quick cut to the fog and beautiful morning conditions.
Great info! Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
great video! thanks
Really informative and well presented! Nice job! Never thought about Northern Michigan for fly fishing but it looks beautiful!
Michigan has some amazing trout fishing, a lot of folk in the Midwest are fly fishermen.
Hey brother, great video but you need to really tone down on the really. Minor thing to say for sure because your content is great but just something to consider. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hey, always appreciate feedback! Thanks for watching. REALLY appreciate it! 😉
in finland we go from surface to bottom and as big as possible. For some reason fish like trout like that you precent really bic articulated flies for them.
Matt I am from Southwest Michigan and I was in your shop this afternoon my first time visiting. Was going to ask but completely forgot if you could put together a fly box of streamers for my Redington Hydrogen 11' 3wt ? Thank you looking forward to my next visit.
Excellent!👍🏻
Hi, Matt!
Great explanation, thank you for that! That Madsen's Skunk fly pattern is something new for me, so I can't wait to test it on our local streams! Btw, how do you present this fly in the water? I guess its behaviour might be different from, for example, Muddler Minnow.
Regards from Prague and tight lines!
This is easily the best fly fishing video i've seen on the tube. Maybe a Euro Nymphing video of this caliber?
So early summer heavy runoff muddy water, bright lures with alot of flash? Heard that.
Subscribing for more of these
GREATEST VIDEO EVER! You guys better sub to the channel
Shot of the greenish water color underwater.
Thanks for the info! This is exactly what I was looking for! Got my sub
Awesome, thank you!
Very glib
Best winter stealhead fly for the Sturgeon River in Cheboygan County???
Tough to go wrong with a nuke egg but for this time of year it’s a lot of guess and check!
Wow...thought they's at least show the "action" in the water and maybe a fish or 2.
So in CO it just snowed a lot and the river is very cold is it still good for streamer fishing?
Temperature wise
Fish gotta eat right? Biggest thing is to adapt your presentation to the conditions. The colder the water, the less fish are going to chase your flies so make sure your flies are getting down right to where fish are holding and slow your retrieve speed down. Take temps when you get to the river and keep notes on what you try and what works; eventually you will find a fish willing to eat!
@@TheNorthernAnglerFlyShop ok thanks! The water has been sitting in the 30s lately
Brrrrr! Pick your days wisely but I found living out west tailwater fish tend to be a little more active than our Midwest fish in cold water.

Don't Browns spawn at 50-55 degrees F?
How do you rig for streamers?
Hey Christopher, thanks for leaving us a comment. We were hoping to get a streamer rigging video shot before the snow showed up here in Northern Michigan but the basic rig is this: 6-8wt rod, sink tip line 200-300 grains (length dependent on river system), short leader (less than 5ft of maxima 10-12lb) and then your fly. We see too many folks overthinking it and complicating things with tapering leaders when it's not necessary. Hope you get out to fish soon!
If I had the money I'd offer 20k to come to Utah and streamer fish the Lower Provo River....because Fk that river! I've fished hundreds of hours and dozens and dozens of streamer patterns on it and caught like 20 fish. I've tried every technique there is....I
Half.way through the video and still talking w.empty.hands🤦♂️
