STREAMER FISH FOR TROPHY TROUT

"Streamer Fishing for Trophy Trout" is based on Kelly Galloup's book of the same title, which is widely recognized as one of the most innovative publication on streamer fly fishing in decades. Using big flies to hunt big trout is nothing new but Kelly has taken it to another level. Years of observation above and below water studying the habits of these predators has resulted in tactics and specialized gear and flies that can hook you up with the biggest trout in the rivers you fish.

Kelly will explain his "Predator Theory" which he believes holds the key to when, where, and how we should fish for trophy trout. It won't be surprising to discover when Kelly thinks the best time to target big fish is, but where he hunts them is game changing. Thus there a numerous chapters devoted to identifying different water types that hold big fish, each including the specific approach and presentation required.

As unique as Kelly's read on where to find trophy trout is his presentation of a streamer fly to the water he deems productive. His "Jerk Strip" retrieve is a far cry from the traditional down stream swing method, and he will go into detail on how and why he employs it. Along with this he will break down the type of leaders, lines, rods, and flies he uses to hunt for big fish.

Along with discovering Kelly's style of fishing trophy trout you will get a close up look at the innovative fly patterns he has created specifically for his technique. They are big and and varied in color and style, but have proven highly effective. He goes over how and why he selects his offering depending upon what natural prey his trying to emulate, the water type, and weather conditions. Since this production was done Kelly has taken his streamer patterns to the next level and creating a number of articulated flies that have been proven effective. They can be found in the collection of the fly tying videos offered by Fly Fish TV .

This is not a new video and it is not a short one. It was produced fifteen years ago, at the time of this posting, and is nearly two hours in length. It is as well not fancy or particularly exciting one, but it is filled with information and instruction that, given some study, might just make you a better trophy trout hunter.
