how do you pick a streamer fly how do you pick what color stream or fly to use
well there's no solid rules other than the old rule of bright day or clear water light fly dark
day or dirty water dark fly seems to work fairly well we started out with a white fly this morning
and it didn't work we went to an olive fly with an orange head that didn't work now we're going
to try a black fly and see if that works and you know if you're in Clear Water and you can see the
fish chasing the fly they won't all take the fly they won't all commit yesterday I was fishing a
white fly and the fish were chasing chasing chasing the fly and not taking it and I asked
Marcelo I said Marcelo should I bother changing fly patterns size color he said nah not really
he said the water's cold the fish just aren't committing so you just have to sometimes sort
through and find that super aggressive fish that's going to commit to your streamer bam
bam she like TV yeah he's a star this is a Hollywood fish

we're on a different River now we're on the River of Dreams with Magic Waters where we had to head
to helicopter in and we're gonna horseback ride out and there may be different colors that are
favorites In this River Hayden what color do you like in the River of Dreams for sure Black's my
my favorite color Okay always makes fish move we do get a lot of overcast days here I mean
black is a typical good color for overcast day so do you believe in that dark day dark fly Dark
Day dark fly dirty water dirty darker fly and typically I'll go with a black or maybe a brown
Autumn Splendor is always a favorite here it just resembles a brown trout and that's what these fish
are eating right they're eating their own and other rivers how do you how do you pick color
for streamers I mean what what do you do you start with anything special I'd like to I like
to start with a medium-sized fly and typically you know if if I know like for instance on the
Simpson and other belief fish I know that they have pancora so I'll fish something with a little
yellow and brown in it or I'll imitate some of the some of the bait fish that are around here
in Chile as well as some of the smaller uh trout that they will consume but I like to mainly kind
of start with black or Olive just you know go-to's and then from there I'll I'll switch it you switch
it out if that isn't working yeah but typically it does you got a lot of yellow there when do you use
yellow on a great day you know a lot of yellow and brown uh just to mimic those those brown trout but
um yeah I'll use uh I'll use yellow on a bright day I'll use white and tan on a bright day as well
but the Olive in Black it's uh it's hard to hard to beat down here okay they love it and you find
that in other trout streams around the world I do yeah I mean Sunny your day I'll tend to go towards
the lighter color streamer on a darker day I'll go towards Dr flies cool how about Alaska same
same thing yeah Alaska is just uh same thing whole new ball game but yeah I mean a lot of
flesh you know they love flesh all throughout the year but definitely towards the end of the
season when when there's more salmon carcass but uh black and white and Olive and white are always
always standbys up there for for pretty much any condition I found yeah great yeah that's
good that's good advice and good philosophy pretty much agrees with what most people say
it's hard to it's hard to not that okay thank you yeah of course so there's really there's
really no rules it's fun mix it up experiment try different sizes try different colors start
with that rule of Bright Day Clear Water light fly Dark Day Dark Water dirty water dark fly but then
mix it up from there have fun experiment and see what flies are gonna make the fish commit oh there
little fish it's all family there yeah there was there's a bunch of fish in there
three brown trout the one is Grandfather but uh
we'll take this good way to start
