The typical nympher fisher walks up to a run, sees no
surface activity and ties on a nymph then catches a whack of fish.
Would he have caught the same or more with another technique? Maybe,
but most anglers I know are two dimensional: dries or nymphs, so we
don't get to find out.

What about streamer fishing? At what point would someone choose not to use a
dry or a nymph, but a streamer instead?



Streamers work best in off colour, fast water, but anytime is streamer
time. When I haven't been able to match the hatch and there are fish
rising all round me, I've tied on a streamer and slayed 'em. The use
of a streamer is more "angler's choice" than anything else. It's a
big fish method and I've used large streamers in search of big browns,
knowning full well that I'm passing up opportunites for lesser fish.
