1. Various retrieve tests : Streamer fishing uses various types of retrieves to encourage the fish.
1.1 Twitching : It’s an important part of streamer fishing. Twitching can change the attitude of the fish and has various effects on streamer attraction or speed. Twitching is the process of holding a small attraction or shock and placing it easily or quickly. If you want to twitch you have to make sure your streamer fly to be relatively forward or upward. Then you can run your fly through one or more small jerks or holes or lures. Now you can think twitching requires a lot of jerks but i want to assure you that Usually twitching doesn’t require a lot of jerks or jerks. But some expert streamer’s can make it easier and make your fly more engaging. You can twitching in few steps. Let me show,
*1st step : First throw your fly to the mouth where the fish are likely to be present. Make sure to fly over the water.
*2nd step : When your fly is on the water for fly line, be sure the fly is relaxed and ready to twitch.
*3rd step : Now quick twitches or strokes on the fly line.
*4th step : Experiment with changing the strength and number of your twitches. Sometimes less existing twitching can be more effective. So don’t be like a snowflake. Be patient and experiment.
*5th step : : Keep your eye on the fly while you twitch. If there is any movement or turbulence in the water, it can hit the fish fly. So always be ready.

1.2 Stripping : It’s another important part. If you want to stripping you have to get your fly or simply you have to get your fly font of the fish When you stripping you have to remind the fly must in font of the fish, for this reason you have to make sure you apply it at the right pace and in the right area. You can do stripping with simple 5 steps.

*2nd step : Hold the fly line between your fingers on your rod hand. Keep a firm grip but allow the line to slide smoothly between your fingers.
*3rd step : Use short, quick pulls or strips with your line hand to retrieve the fly. These strips should be smooth and consistent, mimicking the motion of a wounded or fleeing prey.
*4th step : Keep a close eye on your fly and the water around it. Often, fish will strike during the retrieve, so be ready to set the hook at any moment.
*5th step : Experiment with different stripping speeds and lengths. Sometimes, a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times, a fast, erratic retrieve might attract more strikes.
1.3 Swinging : Do you want to make Anger a fish? So you can use the Swinging technique. This technique mainly used to bring the fly in front of the fish and attract it to its side . This technique makes the fishes angry and attracts them. You can swing easily with these 3 steps.

*2nd tep : Bring the fly to the press in the water or near the fish.
*3rd step : After the fly is created, you can charge the fly. It helps to influence the motion or attraction or swing process of the fly on a part.
1.4 Dead-Drifting: It is basically a process where the fly is passively carried along the width of the river or the entire stretch of the river and is visible to the fish present. You can achieve this with these simple 3 steps.
1st step: Choosing the right fly is important when dead drifting. Generally, the fly must be very realistic in appearance and maintain its position in the water.
2nd step: To position the fly in your desired location, you can extend the fly line and place the fly gently on the surface of the river or ocean in any manner you choose.
3rd step: Once the fly is in position, observe its attractiveness to the water. This step usually requires great care to ensure that the fly remains in the desired area when it appears.
2. Depth control mechanism
In streamer fishing, it is important to control the depth to avoid conflict with fish. There are many techniques to control the depth of the water. But I want to share with you 3 important techniques to control the depth of the water.
2.1. Add weight: Flies and lines can achieve greater depth easily by adding weight to the leader or fly, or by fishing at a lower depth. So, I suggest you use this method first.
2.2. Use weighted flies: Weighted flies attract fish and help determine the depth.
2.3. Expand width in water: Sometimes streamer flies or other flies need to stretch far enough to reach the water and make their presence felt.
So use these techniques to improve your fishing presentation.
