Trash Can Streamer – Fulling Mill
Shannon Branham’s Trash Can Streamer has proven to be a reliable addition to any angler’s toolkit, offering a fresh take on a classic lure. Originally designed to target larger fish that feed on sculpin and small fry, this lure has since demonstrated effectiveness across a wide range of species and environments.
It performs well in diverse fishing conditions—from Alaska’s salmon, trout, and char to steelhead on the east and west coasts, and various trout species in both moving and still waters where fish are known to be aggressive.
The lure’s lifelike movement, whether swung or stripped, mimics natural behavior and appears to trigger a primal response in target fish. It can be customized in almost any size or color to match specific water conditions and fishing scenarios.

Used the Trash Can Streamer on a cold spring morning in the Pacific Northwest. It worked immediately—brought in two trout within 20 minutes. The movement was realistic and the fish reacted strongly. Tied it in a dark brown with a slight green tint to match the muddy stream. Would recommend to any trout angler.

Fished it in a slow-moving river with steelhead. The lure stayed visible and attracted attention. A bit more aggressive than other streamers, which is exactly what I wanted. Slightly heavier than expected, but it held up well in the current.

Great for targeting larger fish in deeper pools. Tried it in Alaska and it caught a large char. The lifelike action made a big difference. Easy to tie and adjust to match the water color. Highly effective in both still and flowing water.
