I almost every time start the day with a streamer, easy way to tell what’s going on and cover some water. Shallow, deep, fast, slow, varied usually that’s enough to get a good read. Then I adjust. Nymp or whatever it takes. More times than not the streamer stays on unless it’s just not working. Great video!

Love the practicality and guidance of the knowledge shared. Thank you

We were just chatting about you on a Facebook page for Fly Fishing North Georgia. Someone posted a picture of your bumper sticker and asked what it made us think of. Great stuff, Dude! Thanks!

Ahhh. Mondays and another start of the week with huge fly fisherman. What a great way to start the day

My best tip would be that this winter/spring transition period is a great time to downsize for bass. I caught a 3lber on a size 16 wooly bugger jig the other day, and I've had similar experiences the last couple years, getting some of my biggest fish on streamers in the size 12-18 range.

Only been fly fishing since September last year and appreciate your recommendations and tutorials! Still learning how to properly cast a sink tip with streamers. Thanks for the great video’s!!

Your drawings are hyper realistic. Definitely a future in art if youtube fizzles out.

Thanks for your great videos. I got a question that I am not sure the answer. How can you remove slack an been able to mend the line. The thing is to stay connected to the fly for possible strike. Slack vs mending.

Great advice! I fish streamers 100%. I’m in Texas and mainly after largemouth. Your bass sliders and Dedeauxs (you introduced me to his channel) are by far my favorites! Thank you, I really appreciate the help. We do stock some trout during winter..streamers (SlumpBuster) still my go to because they work. I focus on the color change, foam lines and eddies and most important for Huge bass..cover or structure. Thanks as always Ben..have Huge week! 👍👍🎣

Tip for streamering: I like to put a bacon rind trailer on the hook, the green polka-dot works really well. Spray it with WD-40 after it's been in the water for a while.

The hill behind you looks so good for backcountry snowboarding

Hey Ben. How can “my friend” strip a streamer with a tenkara rod?

[Thespanglerangler]

Every time I watch one of these I’m like, “I need a beer and I need to go fishing.”

[mewolf]

Larger fish are lazy. The easier it is for them, the more likelihood of a bite. I like to almost dead drift with my fly doing a ferry across the stream so the ambush is easy for them. The less I need to pull them off their lie the better. Then again, I suck at fly fishing.

Great marketing with the "check out my other channel." Curiosity is a powerful tool! Very evil Ben. Well played

[glennsands]

I throw my streamers to the middle of the river so the pesky fish don’t try to interrupt my retrieve.

The best part of this video isn't a tip about streamer fishing, it is the picture of Tobias crying in the shower. Thank you Ben!

[geraldswanson]

Am I supposed to take off my indicator with streamers? Am I that guy? I just assumed I should use one and definitely catch fish. But maybe it’s unnecessary?

The drawing was an Orvis-quality visual aid. Thanks. Now I can more effectively huck meat.

Some nice butter-bellies at the start of this video...
