Streamers

Brook Trout
Streamers are flies which represent minnows, bait fish, leeches, crayfish and other food forms. There are two basic types of streamer patterns - imitators and attractors. Imitators represent a specific type of food which is preyed upon by the trout. Fishing imitator patterns requires a knowledge of each food form and how it behaves. Attractors do not represent any bait in particular, but are designed to excite a fish into striking. Attractors are usually brightly colored and may contain flash or other highly reflective materials.

Hooks are usually down eyed long shanks from 3x to 10x
