This is why I use streamers! The biggest fish was 22 1/2" and I don't know the girth, but I would guess 11-13". I thought it would weigh somewhere around 4-5 pounds? I like to use floating line with a tungsten leader with about 12-18" of 15lb test fluorocarbon leader to connect to the fly. I prefer to have a straight connection to my fly, and using the floating line allows me to mend the bow out of my line. There are a million ways to fish streamers, and all of them are worth it. I use a 9 foot 6 weight rod, but I use 3-6" streamers so the extra length keeps them away from my head. No I will not share the exact location, ha-ha. I live and fish in Wyoming.
