April is a great time to pitch streamers for trout. Over the past few years, I’ve been fishing streamers on foot more than from a boat. When wading, it seems weighted streamers like this one are more effective since your retrieve is usually much shorter. The weighted head drops your fly instantly and gives an erratic jigging motion to the retrieval. I like this fly on a 6 wt with a 150-grain sink tip, and a 3-4′ leader (12lb fluoro)
