About half of my streamer fishing is done with an olive mohair leech with an orange bead head. Either on a swing for active fish or dead drifted for the sluggish ones. Great fly.

 

Olive marabou tail just like a bugger.

Olive mohair wrapped around the shank up to the bead.

Orange bead, usually 1/8.

For heavy water, I put 15-20 wraps of lead wire on.

 

The other half is split up between olive buggers, black buggers, muddlers, mickey finns and white marabou streamers with a silver body.

 

Although I don't fish it as often as the mohair leech, the mickey finn is my favorite because I can usually see it from a ways off and watch the trout grab it.

I'm a big n of the muddlers. You can get different colors and make Mikey Finn Muddlers, or stuff a cone-head on there, tie in some marabou. Matukas are another favorite.

I like the mohair leeches also. Brown, dark red, rust, black. Also, streamers don't have to be big, try some those buggers you have in a size 10 or 12.
