What is STREAMER FISHING?
Streamer fishing is nothing new, but a lot of times overlooked or intimidating to some due to the use of larger flies and heavier sink tip or full sinking lines. It is a technique used to create a predatorial response of larger trophy fish.
Space is limited to 10 students per class to offer more direct guide/student ratio.
