Fishing Streamers from a Drift Boat // READING WATER on the Colorado River

Reading water and understanding how to present and fish your fly in a specific section of water trumps fly selection in many ways. We're excited to launch a new SERIES on our TH-cam Channel titled: "READING WATER." In each episode of READING WATER, we will tag along with a skilled and experienced angler who will give us insight into how they approach a specific section of water from all angles - GEAR, RIGGING, FLY CHOICE, SEASONALITY, FLOWS, and the like.
For this episode of READING WATER, we joined Trouts own Zeke Hersh and Tanner Smith as they float fish one of their favorite stretches on the Colorado River. Zeke explains how he likes to position his boat to put the angler in the best position to catch fish. Similarly, Tanner talks to what he's looking for and how he's swimming his streamer through current breaks and the like, in order to entice an eat. The concepts they explain are great approaches for a variety of water along the Colorado, and any big floatable freestone filled with eager trout. Enjoy in HD.
Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our TH-cam channel as we introduce a slew of NEW on-the-water and educational videos & series.

Men I really enjoy the way u guys filmed the boat going down stream as you fish showing Birdseye view. It explains in great detail your technique and how your fishing the pocket water and small feeding lanes. You guys are great. Also love watching 5 flies i have been following u dudes for years. Much love from helena montana. Your always welcome to come up here to fish the Missouri river tailwaters with me. Through thr Land of giants canyon. Let me know!

This is such a great side by side perspective. Keep it up!

[@kylemcinturff8764]

Your fishing a floating line with split shot. Why are you not fishing more out of the front of the boat as apposed to parallel to the bank. Sometimes like the quick riffles I understand, but in those tailors shouldn't you fish out front 45° or so?

Absolute Pro! Love it!!!
