Streamers and Bucktails are great flies to have in every angler's fly box when fishing for trout, landlocked salmon and smallmouth bass. They are an important part of New England fly fishing tradition and can be extremely effective, particularly for big fish. I like using marabou in many of the patterns that I tie as it has great movement in the water. In addition to the traditional approach of a quartering cast down-stream, try casting up-stream and mending your line to control the way the fly is presented. The West Branch Selection includes six (6) of my personal favorite streamers and bucktails.
"Rick's trout and salmon flies exhibit in their looks and effectiveness, the in-depth understanding he has of the watersheds where I fish and what works throughout the season. His caddis emerger patterns are especially effective on Landlocked Salmon in northern Maine." by Tim L (Londonderry, NH)
