Summary

Streamer fishing, especially for trout in rivers, is far too often overlooked and underutilised. Few anglers truly understand the rugged art of successful streamer fishing. Too many miss out on the slashes of silver darting through the water, chasing their black Woolly Bugger, and never feel the heart-stopping take of a huge brown trout as it attacks a rabbit fur streamer. The Orvis Pocket Guide to Streamer Fishing can help, adding to the fisherman's repertoire the art of the streamer, with valuable advice on why the big trout go for the streamers, reading streamer-friendly waters, streamer techniques, tools of the trade, and proven patterns widely available at fly shops.
