Streamer fishing therefore offers the possibility of catching a large trout in a targeted manner and deliberately ignoring smaller specimens. Of course also because a large bite has an attractive energy balance. The larger a trout grows, the more pronounced this character becomes. However, while the former go on a predatory expedition at a young age, trout concentrate primarily on feeding insects on the bottom and surface in the first few years and only later develop predatory traits and make terretorial demands. These so-called 'streamers' imitate prey fish in the narrower sense of the term, which in our native waters are pike, zander, perch or even trout as a source of food. Above all, spin fishing has left its clear traces and today, fly fishing for predators is also done with actively moving artificial lures. This is due not only to the further development of flying lines and fly rods but also to the influence of conventional fishing techniques.

This looks different today! There are almost infinite facets of fly fishing and there is hardly a fish in the world that cannot be outwitted by the fly. Not so long ago, fly fishing was quite naturally equated with presenting a dry fly to a rising brown trout. Fly fishing has developed rapidly in the last decades.
