I am not an expert in swinging flies in the most orthodox sense of the concept. In fact, I’ve never made any kind of presentation to steelhead in the Pacific Northwest or Atlantic salmon. However, I have swung wet flies in ways that might not draw the ire of purists.

But none of that is what I’m talking about today. The weird uncle of that noble tactic, swinging streamers and nymphs for bass and trout is  a little less dignified but a whole lot of fun. And, if you’re more about pragmatism and less about fun, it is more efficient.

Today I share three ways to swing flies at your local river. It doesn’t take any special gear or a lot of practice. Just get out there and swing away.
