Rusty Chironomid - PYRAMID LAKE - Fly Tying Tutorial
This tutorial will teach you a simple way to tie a fairly realistic chironomid pattern. I use this method for pretty much all of my chironomid patterns, just tweaking the colors as needed. It works great at Pyramid Lake, but it also works great on any body of water which houses midge-eating fish.
MATERIALS:
HOOK - Firehole Sticks 315
BEAD - 2.8 mm Metallic Brown Tungsten round bead
GILS - White Antron
THREAD - Underbody: White Veevus 16/0. Body: white 140D UTC. Collar: Rusty Brown 72D Uni-Thread
RIB - Small Black Ultra-Wire, Small Brown Veevus Hollow Tinsel

MONSTER Cutthroat, In a BLIZZARD - Fly Fishing Pyramid Lake
มุมมอง 8Kปีที่แล้ว
One of the best days of fishing I’ve ever had at Pyramid Lake. Although we weren’t breaking any PB’s, what we lacked in quality, we made up for in quantity. The bite was kinda back and forth all day between the bobber bite and the strip bite. Definitely one of those days where it pays off to have two rods rigged.

PYRAMID LAKE - Fly Fishing - 16 pound Cutthroat Trout!
มุมมอง 15Kปีที่แล้ว
On this day, we had a series of storms moving through. This was a rare occasion where it seemed like the fish were congregated in one specific area. After some trial and error, we pinpointed where they were. Stripping flies was the most effective method. Once it became clear that they mostly wanted the classic Pyramid Lake Beetle, I switched to a double beetle rig and caught a bunch of fish. I ...

After fishing the river in the morning, I hiked up to this one-of-a-kind alpine lake full of brook trout. We stayed for 90 minutes and caught 50 fish. The fish were rocketing out of the water for low-flying damsels and dragons, and were violently taking the hopper.

      Definitely not required! Although I was actually using a small indicator in this video. One of my favorites ways to fish this fly is as part of a tandem streamer rig. Even swinging it on rivers has been very effective. I can’t think of a way I haven’t fished this fly.. I guess other than as a dry fly haha.

    why no 10 foot floating head off of the chucker?

    • @SoggySleeves
      @SoggySleeves 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Since making this video, I have been using a 10’ floating MOW tip on and off. I actually don’t notice much of a difference with it or without it. My roll casts lay out straight just fine either way. I will say that I find it helpful to add a MOW tip if you suspect your chucker line is a little too light for the rod you’re using. The little bit of extra weight can help load the rod better.

    • @SoggySleeves
      @SoggySleeves 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s right. This is just for my sinking line set up, stripping beetles, boobies, buggers, etc. Lately I’ve actually been using my full-intermediate line as the running line, and attaching the 30’ sinking tip to that. Easy since they both have a loop-to-loop connection. I’m sure I lose a little bit of distance, but the thicker diameter intermediate line is easier to handle, and tangles a little less. As an added bonus, I often find myself removing the sinking tip, and just fishing the intermediate line with a slow, hand-twist retrieve.

    Attaching the backing to the lazarline which knot do you use if if seen other setups it looks like a double loop as the nail knot is to slick what's your take?

    • @SoggySleeves
      @SoggySleeves 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I usually do a loop-to-loop connection, with loops big enough to put my reel through. It makes it easy to add or remove portions of my overall setup without having to unspool the entire thing. To create the loop with the lazar line, I just do a double surgeons knot (use gloves or something when synching down to protect your fingers). I use a Bimini twist when making loops with backing. It’s probably overkill, and in reality a double or triple surgeons knot loop would probably do just fine, but I’ve always done the Bimini twist, and applied zap-a-gap afterwards, and it’s never failed.

      Lately I’ve actually been using a different product, white Uni-Stretch. It comes on a spool just like regular tying thread. It’s easier to use, and looks more like gills in my opinion. If you just google “white Uni-Stretch”, You’ll see what I’m talking about.

    Dude, love your videos! So, just to clarify, you are not using a switch chucker or switch line per se…more like a combination of lines starting w backer, mono, sink and finally leader? Looks like over hand casting using the water to load your line on the back cast and then at the very end, the two hand grab for the final forward cast. Looks pretty challenging, not to mention wearing gloves. How long to get that down for an experienced fly fisherman but novice Switch user. (Been coming down to Pyramid for a few years but my aging shoulder and forearm are begging for a rod/casting change up.)

    I'm so grateful that you said a 7wt rod and up , on the get-go. The reason for this is that it's so important to think about the fish and that fish's future first. It's so critical to have the right rod to get it done . I say this because my years and Mentors of fly fishing always said use a rod that will bring the fish in without killing it , don't overwork it or play it out , otherwise you jeopardizing that fish's health and life . Way I write this is because I see way to many people out there using light gear like a 5wt or a 6wt . This just blows my mind. You're going to kill that fish . I see this behavior in humans, especially on the Trinity River catching steelhead . If your going after larger fish have please have the Decency to use a rod that can bring them in fast and get them back on their war . Respect what you love. That's all .
