Streamers 101

Lance Gray

The presentation focuses on streamer fishing. We cover not only the gear needed to fish streamers but also the when, why, and how for the audience. This presentation also covers the quarry the fish eat, from minnows to crayfish. Knowing how to streamer fish will give the fly fisher a valuable tool for their quiver. This presentation features new and updated information, as well as new flies and tactics.

This is the recommended list of essential gear for most ALL stream-side outings.

NOTE: You won’t be allowed to participate without the red-colored safety items.

The section of this central California tail-water is big-river fly fishing. Wide, faster water conditions typically with deep water crossing. We chose this site as it has entry level to difficult wading exposures that an angler can experience all in the same area. The river substrate is mostly medium to large round river-rock, somewhat difficult/tiring to wade over time (hard on the ankles).

This is a good river to see and experience most wading conditions. You will use your wading staff to practice the 3-leg walk that you will use frequently in northern California streams. Your coach can help you. It will take practice to get better at wading.

We’ll come ready for both dry fly and nymphing setups, targeting the 12 to 14-inch trout known for the area (24-inchers are occasionally seen) but our focus will be getting the newer fly fishers acclimated to typical stream fishing conditions and how to address those issues safely. (Practicing the 3 foundational knots & casts are the keys to success in my opinion)

The limit to this outing is 12 for this event. Another novice outing will be added as demand dictates. Register NOW if interested.

Directions: Head to Marysville, (follow google) from there to the Ranch. Drive to the end of the lot, bring a lunch. Schedule 2 ¼ hours from the Bay. Be ON TIME, we will leave promptly at 9am

^[1] ALL participants are expected to have learned and have confidence in the 3 foundational knots as taught by Grizzly Peak Education (Perfection Loop, Davy Knot & Surgeons Knot) and be able to competently complete an Overhead, Roll & Water haul cast. Practice ahead of time as needed.
