Streamer Fishing??

[riverdog]

Good information. I think many of are familiar with that retrieve but I left it out because I find it not very effective Utah's mostly smaller waters. Same with the straight across hard splash, in my experience that'll spook fish on the smaller waters 100% of the time. If you're fishing a river as large as the Weber when it's flowing well (come April when they increase the flows from Echo) or larger those techniques can be very effective. I think the sinking line works well but only do it the rare times I plan on just fishing streamers. If you're on a boat easy to change spools but if you waded a mile or so and just want to switch to streamers for that section of river or didn't even plan on fishing streamers that day I'm not going to have that spool with sinking line me with me. I always have a half dozen weighted streamers with me no matter what. Again very good information but experiment, adapt and adjust things to where you're fishing at the moment. What works well on the Snake River or Green River in Wyoming with streamers won't necessarily be the same thing as want works well on Rock Creek or the West Fork of the Duchesne here in Utah. I'm ready for summer - those are 4 great places to fish streamers[fishin].
