How to get ready for striper fishing
May 4, 2006 - Beaver - G'day y'all from the Beaver Dam Store crew!

If you're serious about trying for stripers step up to 8wt and heavier, for bigger flies and heavier lines. Reels need to be holding 200 yard of backing (try gelspun backing to increase capacity) and a solid drag.

Your Lake fly box should include:
Subsurface
Gummy Minnows, the small 6s are a pretty good match for the tiny baitfish being targeted currently, for when the fish get picky.

Burks Hot Flash Minnow. Great pattern, pulls fish in. Keep an eye on your fly as it has a tendency to tailwrap

Whitlock's Shad, Another superb pattern from the master.

Clouser Minnows chartreuse/white and tan/white six 6. All round deep fly.

Pacific Fly Shad weighted and sinking. This has been a killer this season, pulling fish on even tough days.
Surface
Crease Fly. Our favorite Try the silver and the black over silver. Great poattern which can be fished quiet or noisy. Or add a sinking line and fish it the way the maker intended.

Clousers Floating Minnow: A slow waker, twitch this one back across the surface for ferocious hits. Nice!!!!!!

Umpqua Swimming baitfish. Deerhair Dahlberg type, pul under the surface and rises back to the top. Plenty of action.
