Fish and Film – Fishing Fall Streamers (VIDEO)

Fishing is a story . .

Nothing beats a good streamer bite. As much as we all love fishing dry flies and nymphs, nothing compares to actively fishing streamers and watching trout attack the fly. In early November, I found good streamer action in some favorite water. The takes were spotty enough that I had to work for them, but frequent enough that I could learn the preferences of the trout and dial in a presentation.

I fished three shifts, covering different parts of the river. And as most any day with streamers goes, trout had their moments . . .

Here’s the video . . .

Hi. I’m a father of two young boys, a husband, author, fly fishing guide and a musician. I fish for wild brown trout in the cool limestone waters of Central Pennsylvania year round. This is my home, and I love it. Friends. Family. And the river.

VIDEO: The Dorsey Yarn Indicator — Our Best and Most Versatile Indy Choice — Building It and Fishing It

For over a decade, my Troutbitten friends and I have fished a small yarn indicator that weighs nothing, is extremely sensitive, versatile, cheap, doesn’t affect the cast, and flat out catches more trout than any other indicator we’ve ever used. What we call “the Dorsey” is a daily-use tool that is integral to our nymphing system. We mount it on a tight line rig or a traditional leader with fly line. It floats like crazy. It signals takes and information about the drift like no other indy we’ve ever used, and it’s an unstoppable fish catcher.

Here’s the bottom line: You do not need an extra-soft rod tip to protect delicate tippets while nymphing. Skip past that selling point in the marketing jargon, and make your fly rod decision on the other factors that matter.

I don’t know another time when I approached a slot with so much confidence. Better. Slower. This was it. At the end of the fishless drift, my certainly wasn’t questioned, it was simply re-informed. “Need more weight,” I said. It was an unforgettable, prove-it kind of moment . . .

  3. Hi Dom,

    Watching you execute a double head-flip, a stop, flip and stall finally registered with me. These films on the water are great. Thanks for the content. Also, I never get to see the background music credits… Is that also you on your ‘day off’????
    Happy Thanksgiving the you, the family and your extended team.

  4. It looks like you had the line wrapped around the rod? ??

  5. Happy holidays to you and your family, Dom!

    I was having trouble visualizing how your rod movements caused the head-flip until I searched for “streamer head flip” knowing that I’d find content. Sure enough, I found the specific video and your key comment that the best, if not only, time to effect a head turn easily is when the streamer is across from you, not upstream or downstream. Then it clicked and I got it…the video showing the streamer floating slowly also helped to illustrate how the head turns without moving the streamer through the water. Bingo!

    Thanks, as always!
