There I was, on a local stream, waiting for the midday BWO hatch,
fishing dries with no enthusiasm, knowing that the fish in that run simply don't rise before the hatch starts, and not bothering with nymphs, never having had any success in this section subsurface.... And it occurred to me to swing a streamer for the hell of it. And I slayed 'em. Well, not really, but three fish to hand in an hour that otherwise would have been wasted had I continued with dries is not bad. And it was *fun*. Even a small fish--the three I caught were 10 to 12"--will stone *smash* a streamer. Very exciting takes. I used to fished streamers relatively often, mostly when I was just beginning, some decades ago, back East, but had never been wildly successful. It sort of fell by the wayside (despite Peter's reminders g) over the years. For one thing, streamers are not as "traditional" here in the PNW as they are back East. Now, though, I often find myself in the situation described above, and I think I need to sharpen and broaden my knowledge and range of techniques. What's the single best book on the subject????? JR |
