This season has been all about options for moving the streamer. Our focus has been on the animations available to attract and then sell the trout on the streamer presentation. In this season finale, we talk about river scenarios and share some tips and strategies that help tie all of the previous episodes together.
We discuss the following:
- How different fly designs suggest fishing them different ways
- Should all streamers have flash?
- How to adapt to big rivers
- Discipline in approach and following through
- Are trout attracted by randomness in the presentation or turned off by it?
- How to adapt when we know big trout are in the area
- Does matching the baitfish type matter?
- Blending presentation styles
- How to convert trout that won’t commit
My friend, Austin Dando, joins me for a great discussion.

I have learned that streamers can also imitate crawdads and a jerk and pause and back drifts the fly a little will get fish to strike . Kinda like the jigging technique you talked about .
Hi Dom,
After spending a day on the water with you two weeks ago, I am beginning to really understand what you and Austin have been discussing and sharing with us this season. I am beginning to feel more confident in my technique using the mono-rig, and really focusing on my tuck cast. With a bit of increasing accuracy, it really works! I also agree with Austin’s point regarding using a single streamer pattern presented multiple ways. Also, I think the amount of ‘flash’ in the fly may be a seasonal and regional anomoly. Thanks for a great series for season 14. Perfect timing for the start of the season here. (Even though I’ve fished all year.) I look forward to sharing the water with you again in the future. Cheers!
