Fly Fishing for Rainbow Trout & Brown Trout with Streamers!

While Dry fly fishing is surely very much fun and also challenging, and most fly anglers dream of landing large rainbow trout, brown trout and brook trout on the dry fly, no technique in fly fishing is as interactive and engaging as streamer fishing. The goal of generating an impulsive strike from the largest trout in the river requires anglers to be both physically and mentally sharp at all times. There are so many different streamers a fly fishing fisherman has to choose from and using the right casting and retrieve is essential. Beginning anglers diving into streamers undergo long periods of trial and error to determine which streamers, be it, wooly buggers, bucktail streamers, muddler minnows, or what have you, to employ to catch their dream fish. The learning curve is steep as you typically see much fewer bites than with other techniques making positive reinforcement tougher to come by. The action occurs under the surface of the water so it’s essential for the angler to be attentive and keep learning all the while.

Deep pools and narrow runs on smaller rivers and creeks are perfect for the jigging style fly fishing streamers. Casting streamers to and probing deeper eddies with jigging fly fishing streamers can also find fish more reluctant to move up and eat streamers riding higher in the water column. Dense cover on small streams and rivers are perfect for swimming Fly Fishing streamers. All cover should be fished diligently. Log jams, undercut banks, and chunk rock boulders are a great place for larger brown trout to ambush unsuspecting prey. Tailouts are another excellent place to target.

I continually work to improve the selection of flies on my website. It’s impossible to have every streamer that anglers need in my catalogue of fly fishing flies. When you purchase trout flies from Kenya, please note that we do our fullest to devote our attention to each order. Professional photographers need to be paid and taken care of so that’s why we can’t have Every trout fly on our website. We have amongst the largest catalogue of trout, salmon, bass & saltwater flies in Kenya. If there are trout, salmon, bass or saltwater flies that you may want that don’t appear on the website, please request them by sending photos of your most effective and popular fly fishing flies! We will happily add the new trout flies to the website so you can fish with them.
