this is very interesting stuff! any recomendations for Still Water? Mike,
here are a few suggestions for fishing streamers: 1) relax, many people I
fish with hate streamers because they find them hard to cast, or they can't
see the strike. I love streamers, I usually get larger Fish then my friends
and I love the hard hitting strike of a large trout on a streamer. 2)
experiment, try different techniques and flies. But most of all 3) Hold on,
when they strike they Strike. my favorite flies are: a Kiwi Muddler; a
muddler minnow; egg sucking Leech; a marabou leech; and a little fly I call
the irresitible Ed Smith Special (details on this Fly can be requested by
emailing me). Ed

Mike,
There are many on this list that can help you with specifics, say tailwater
streamer tactics, but we must know the type of water you want to fish and
the target fish- species and size.
Then, there's conventional wisdom (books) vs. unconventional wisdom. An
oversized streamer with a small trailer hook catches a lot of fish in
certain situations.

List:
I consider myself an above average nymph fisherman, adequate dry fly
fisherman and I stink as a streamer fisherman. I have a goal this year to
raise that aspect of my flyfishing. Can any of you recommend an excellent
book on the subject where I can at least get the concepts more clear in my
mind? Thanks.
Mike
