Streamer Fishing Strategy to Catch World Record Trout, Striper, and Hybrid Bass on the South Holston

My name is Jason McReynolds, and I am the owner of Flying SoHo guide service. Our fly fishing guide service specializes in streamer fishing and we have a unique strategy to catch world record fish. In this blog post, I will share with you how we have become successful in this niche and our approach to catch trophy fish.


Our Streamer Fishing Strategy is something that my wife, Christy, and I have perfected over 20+ years fishing our home waters. The South Holson & Watauga River in Eastern Tennessee is a world class fishery and when combined with our streamer fishing strategy, it is hard to beat.




Streamer fishing is a technique that involves using a fly that imitates a baitfish. It’s an effective way to catch larger fish because it triggers an aggressive response from predatory fish.


To become successful in streamer fishing, our guide service has focused on the following key strategies:


1. Research and analysis


The first step in our approach is to research and analyze the bodies of water we fish. We study the habitat, food sources, and behavior of the fish in the area. This knowledge allows us to select the most effective streamers to use and develop specific tactics to target trophy fish.



2. Specialization and expertise


Our guide service specializes in streamer fishing, and we have developed a high level of expertise in this technique. Our guides have extensive knowledge of streamer patterns, presentation techniques, and retrieval methods that allow them to effectively target trophy fish. We also provide our clients with the right equipment, including rods, reels, and lines, to optimize their chances of success.



3. Adaptability


Despite our specialization in streamer fishing, we understand that conditions can change rapidly. We adapt to the conditions and adjust our techniques accordingly. For example, if the water is low and clear, we might switch to smaller, more natural-looking streamers. Or, if the water is high and muddy, we might choose larger, more colorful streamers that are easier for fish to see.



4. Conservation


At Flying SoHo guide service, we believe in responsible fishing practices and the preservation of our natural resources. We practice catch-and-release fishing, using barbless hooks to minimize harm to the fish. We also educate our clients on the importance of conservation and how they can contribute to protecting our natural resources.



Our specialization in streamer fishing has allowed us to become successful in targeting trophy fish. We have developed a unique approach that involves research and analysis, specialization and expertise, adaptability, and conservation.


This is a Strategy that has blessed us with multiple world records.



At Flying SoHo guide service, we are committed to providing our clients with a memorable fly fishing experience while also preserving our natural resources for future generations to enjoy.
