Field Notes

A classic bucktail streamer fly for covering water and imitating baitfish. Fish it with strips or swings in rivers, lakes, and other moving water when trout or other predatory fish are feeding on minnows.

Pros

  • Classic baitfish profile
  • Good spring and fall streamer choice
  • Simple to fish with standard stripping retrieves

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish are keyed on insects
  • Can be less effective in very clear, pressured water
