If you want the video version Two Flies, head on over to our Instagram or Facebook and watch our story that you can follow every Thursday titled “2 Flies”. This series will be showcasing 2 flies that we are using RIGHT NOW to catch fish on our local waters.
Today, we are talking streamers. Known affectionately at “Meat” or “Chuck n Duck”, streamers have been around for about as long as the concept off fly fishing itself. One might be mistaken this day and age in thinking that streamer fishing was invented about 3 years ago when equal parts flat bills, Buffs, 7 weights, and dubstep were combined and then boiled in a mix of Coors Light and Monster Energy and served #savage on Instagram.
It’s that time of year, so why not serve them the meat. Its a technique that works, even if you don’t have to thanks to dad for that trust fund.

Heisenberg Streamer
From the mind of Nick Blanco (aka @wycoflyco on Instagram), the Heisenberg Streamer is a general articulated baitfish streamer that has been an absolute knockout since it’s inception. Equipped with glow in the dark beads to spice things up a bit.
This is an articulated streamer that does not need an 8 weight to cast. Coming in at under 4 inches, it’s a bug to fish in colder water when fisher are running a little more lethargic. We have had success with this bug on the Animas, San Juan, Rio Grande, and even icing out waters of Lemon and Vallecito.
