Fly Collections
Streamer Collection
Often the terms buggers and streamers are used interchangeably. You can certainly fish a bugger as you would a streamer, and I often do. However, I keep a big box full of various streamers to fish in a more classic streamer manner. Big trout are predators. That is reason enough to give streamer fishing a try. Work streamers close to structure. That is where big browns will be found. On overcast days and before dark cast streamers into the shallow edges adjacent deeper water. The big fish are in there hunting bait fish and your streamer.
Hoppers and Droppers
For many fly fishermen summer in Montana means Hopper time! As summer comes on strong everyone strains to hear the first song of summer, the hoppers clicking alongside the river. Seeing your hopper disappear in a huge swirl is definitely one of the greatest thrills in fly fishing! Hopper and dropper. What a classic phrase that invokes memories of long floats under a clear blue Montana sky. Don't come to Montana in the summer without a collection of hoppers and droppers.
