Hey folks. I've been tying up a few trout streamers lately because I think they're fun to tie. I have a bunch of wooly buggers and variations on wooly buggers, some slumpbusters, some sculpin, some clouser minnow variations, and have even tried out a couple articulated streamers.
How do you guys like to fish streamers, and when/in what conditions do you fish them? I've found that I have the best luck with streamers when the water is slightly high and a little off color. Streamer fishing in the winter never seems to produce very well for me, though I know that some guys will tie on a wooly bugger year round and catch fish.
Do most people swing streamers? Or strip them across the current? Or drift them down then strip them back up?
Most of my streamers lately have been fairly heavily weighted, but is there an advantage to fishing an unweighted bucktail streamer vs a clouser style bucktail?
Does anyone fish sink tip lines or sinking poly leaders for trout?
