Yeah sure, the tactics and gear are described for using a weighted
woolly bugger here;

For other streamers which imitate specific baitfish for instance, you
will need other leaders and tactics, but the rod and head described
will still work well.

There was a guy on ROFF for a long time, Peter Charles, who
specialised in streamers, and he also had some good patterns for
trout. He had a nice website as well, but I can´t find it any more, I
think he must have cancelled it. I have not seen him on ROFF for a
long time either but I have not been following ROFF very closely for
quite some time. If you do a search on his name, you might find his
fly patterns? I really don´t know. I did copy them, but it is a long
time ago now, and I honestly don´t know where to look for them. They
will be on some backup disc somewhere. I mainly use my own fly
patterns nowadays anyway.

I corresponded with Gary LaFontaine for quite a while, and I have some
of his specialist patterns if you are interested, but these are mainly
for still water fishing.

Nowadays, clousers are a fairly universal pattern, as are deceivers,
and you can find instructions on them here from their inventors;

Of course there are thousands of variations.

If you try to use light tippet on a heavy rod, you will get a lot of
breaks and other problems. Not only the heavy head is important, but
the light rod as well. I would advise the Duncan loop for attaching
most streamers, because it allows the fly to move more naturally, and
because it obviates any hinging which will otherwise occur at the
knot, and weaken it. This still applies even if you use heavier rods
and lines.

I wont post this stuff to ROFF any more, because it merely gets a few
of the idiots up in arms. They only use standard gear don´t know
anything at all about specialist rigs, and they will just give you a
load of old bull**** about using DT lines or something. Most of the
really good anglers have left the group, or only contribute very
rarely indeed. Those left are mainly bull****ters who don´t know much
at all. There are still some nuggets of wisdom to be garnered
occasionally but they are very few and far between, and most of the
fishing content, such as it is, is really only of use to beginners.
You would be better advised to search the various websites for info on
specialist tactics. There are a lot of very good ones now.

Regards and tight lines!
