Streamers are best fished during periods of low light, such as early morning and late evening. These times provide the most favorable conditions for streamer fishing, since fish tend to be more active in these hours. Additionally, casting streamers can be done with greater accuracy due to improved visibility at lower light levels. Streamers should also be used when water clarity is poor or there is a high amount of surface disturbance from wind or rain; this helps mask any unnatural movement that could scare off potential targets.
