Sharing One of Your Favorite Fishing Techniques

I'll talk about one that is my old standby on pretty much any river. I will usually use a black wooly bugger, size 4-6. Then I'll drop 18"-24" of 5x or 6x with a size 18-20 Hares Ear. This set up has never failed me. You can strip it, swing it, and dead drift it. It has helped me when the fishing for trout is a little bit slow. You can pretty much always catch whitefish on the hares ear. Then if there is a nice trout in the whole, it will usually take the big streamer. I have even cast this set up into a big hatch and pulled out some nice fish on the Hares ear. Overall this is one of my favorite setups to use for fly fishing. If I have never fished a river before, this is what I will always start with. I'll keep the rest of my secrets to myself for the time being. Good topic
