I'm still learning the steamer game. I have it down near home, but recently I found myself fishing in Texas without a lot of success. That lead me to the local fly shop.
The guy in that shop had a lot to tell me about the amount of daylight (full sun/partly sun/cloudy) and the colors of the bottom of the river in regards to picking a streamer. If I'm honest I had some trouble following. I hadn't ever thought of my flies this way.
Yet, low and behold, he helped me pick out a few possibilities. I went back to that river and started having a much better day. Much better.
So, I have to ask, was this a load of bs, or is there a legitimate reason why one streamer would work over another based on the kind of light one might experience on the river?
I certainly can't pretend that guy didn't turn my day around.
