Great work and info guys, seriously hope to wet a line this coming season together. Enjoy all your footage ... Can't wait to be back were I belong in Alaska the lower 48 is driving me crazy.
"I just "Bill Danced it" right into the boat...." absolutely hilarious. coming from someone who would watch Bill Dance instead of Saturday morning cartoons as a kid.....
hey I'm a big fan of your skagit heads. I just got a two handled rod for spey and a 11/12 redington delta reel .I think later in this year I'll buy one
I love your channel!!!! I'm currently steelhead fishing and the coho run finally is starting I'm fishing in a creek with a big dam our coho run here is small so we don't get a whole lot of them The middle pool is about 14 ft deep shallower as you get closer to shore what would you recommend I tie my own maribou jigs do you think that will work and should I fish deeper or shallower
Excellent video and absolutely phenomenal instruction provided. I live in Alaska and can say your expertise and approach with the instruction is top tier. Fly fishing for these silvers is #1 of all the species including kings. LMAO at the 12:40 mark!
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Kolton Rowan i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I fished with for Silvers on Alaska's Sapsuk River with Trevor the last two weeks of August 2017. He knows his STUFF!! I learned real quick that if I listened to him, I would catch a lot of fish, especially if he wasn't making me nervous by looking over my shoulder (LOL)!! If you are ever lucky enough to fish with him, be sure to ask him to put you in the "Dick Water" (LOL). LUV you guy!!
by far the best fishing media online to go with the coolest new heads around.. things turned my single handers into fucken rocket launchers. thanks again!
can you explain single hand skagit gear, trying to get geared for steelhaed fishing in terrace/ smither area and dont have much cash to drop. I have a 4/5 rod with a 5/6 reel. Should I buy something bigger? Awesome vids, subscribed this morning
I have a buddy who has caught a lot of silvers on a 5 weight rod but he has been fishing for years and knows what he is doing. You want at least a 7 weight rod or bigger to be on the safe side. 8 weight like Meze said would be better.
Love your work guys. I just moved to Olympia from CT and I was wondering if you guys could help me with some advice on a couple things. What materials would be best to start tying steelhead and cutthroat flies with. I am somewhat new to fly fishing and brand new to tying. Also I have a 4 weight sage approach with a sage 2230 reel. Very light. I was wondering if possible, how to go about setting this rod and reel up with your skagit line. Thank you in advance for any advice you have. Keep up with good work!
Nope. A 300 grain Commando Head is a Skagit-style Spey Casting Head, The MOW tip is a Sink Tip used on the end. This cannot be attached to your existing fly line.
Hate to sound like an idiot, but WHAT peninsula are you referring too? I used this video and a couple others from OPSKAGIT to help tie some flies before an Alaska trip last July. Worked out great. I came back to this video because, given the company name, like an idiot I assumed it was filmed on the Olympic Peninsula and in the actual Skagit. Was just trying to plan a trip with a buddy in the lower 48 to try and recapture some of that July Alaska action, and this video came to mind immediately. But now I'm thinking that was nuts and this kind of action just doesn't exist in the lower 48. So... which peninsula are you referring to :)
How are the returns there? over the past decade, there have been at least 2 failed returns and 2 that were so so weak. Before that, it was always possible to limit out (6) within hours of dangling a line. Everyone is looking for reasons but nobody really knows. It ranges from climate change, el nino, etc, to disease, and commercial fisheries.
these videos are okay. What I would really like from OPST Pure Skagit. Is what wt rod choice they are using. Then since the Skagit system has so many variables. It would be nice to understand what commando head they chose with which tip and why. Grain / float / sink? The which leader length and why it was chosen. as in what leader was used to throw the flies he was tying? Or what might be recomended for leach flies, dali lama flies, skulpin fly patterns. or fast moving rivers when you need to sink the fly fast and deep. I can watch all kinds of videos on salmon fishing that are just fun to watch. But if you are selling a product, at least explain what your product is and how you apply it. Getting frustrated with no info on the skagit system. And the videos show these wide open spaces with all kinds of room to cast. Not like they advertise as being able to cast a good distance with very little room. And if you are fishing for salmon, you are most likely using a rod wt greater that 5wt. There are wwwaaayyy too many videos about trout fishing. I now way too much about trout fishing and not much about Skagit Salmon fishing. a company located in great Salmon Fishing region. I might just stick to what I know. was hoping to find something I can cast while in the water backed up against a bank with heavy shrubbery behind me. Not another boat floating fly fishing video with all kinds of room to cast.
Thanks for the feedback. There are plenty of videos on our Channel that shows us casting up against the bank, and several when we explain what we're fishing with. If you have specific questions please send an email to info@opskagit.com and we'll be glad to help!
2.5 minutes of nothing but music is a terrible waste of users time. Cut that down to :15 at most or use voice-over during the video playtime of the fish. Waiting to see you sit around and talk about silvers is going to cause a lot of people to leave the video early. Know your audience!
test user actually, I really liked it... the music kept me tuned in. I thought it was really well put and edited. You want my opinion? You are just jealous and you can only wish that you could make a video as good as these guys. Get out of here hater, no ones got time for people like you. And if your going to give a comment about how someone should make edits, do it in a nice way in which they will want to listen. Now scat!
I haven’t been back to Terrace for three years - illness, Covid, life… But boy does this bring me back there! Thank you for a great video.
Well said; When they hold, they are the easiest to catch. I've noticed that on many rivers. Great Video.
Great work and info guys, seriously hope to wet a line this coming season together. Enjoy all your footage ... Can't wait to be back were I belong in Alaska the lower 48 is driving me crazy.
That gnome was hilarious! Ten and two, ten and two. Haha!
"I just "Bill Danced it" right into the boat...." absolutely hilarious. coming from someone who would watch Bill Dance instead of Saturday morning cartoons as a kid.....
This guys definitely a pro. He knows his shit.
hey I'm a big fan of your skagit heads. I just got a two handled rod for spey and a 11/12 redington delta reel .I think later in this year I'll buy one
Awesome video, the gnome and fish was funny stuff 😂
Good film, lots of action. One suggestion if I may, next film include tying one of those fly's.
Excellent video and I look forward to using your advice. Looking forward to future Gnome casting clinics (LOL).

yes you need something bigger. somewhere in the 8wt range.
ok thanks

Informative and hilarious well done my friend
A GREAT vid, thank you very much ! Always love to learn !
"Thanks for your great video, but catching Coho in the Capilano River isn't that easy. The fish rarely bite."

+OPSkagit thank you will do!
very informative...thanks man.....
Hi,
Nice video, thank you!
I'm newbie in fly fishing, is "300 grain commando head medium mow tip" a polyleader?
Nope. A 300 grain Commando Head is a Skagit-style Spey Casting Head, The MOW tip is a Sink Tip used on the end. This cannot be attached to your existing fly line.
Nice video
I dont fly fish for them often more of a spoon or spinner guy sometimes a jig but prefer spoons and spinners.dry fly is fun though
Nice loved the video 🤙
What's the name of the purple/black fly? Thanks
I like to fish Silvers parallel to the bank..they do like to hang out there closer to the bank
What size hook do you use tying your streamers?
The fishing is very interesting wow!!!!!
Thanks for visiting
Nice job!!
God I love fishing.
but what lines are they using for those coho? the opst shots were def not alaska, probably washington or oregon?
That was not Oregon OR Washington, but Alaska
@@OPSkagit gotta be south east then, sooooo what lines?
If we had a fishery like that in Washington it would be lined up with hundreds of people.
Man you ain't kidding......
so sick
What weight fly rod you recommend?
7-8wt Single-Handed, 7wt Double-Handed
Excellant thank you
You are very welcome
Is that in Juneau or anywhere In Alaska
Most of that is on the Alaska Peninsula, as well as Kuskokwim Bay.
Alaska gang
Yea buddy
Where is this located
Cincinnati
This on the peninsula?

Not Washington..!!!! This is clearly not our state if you have fished it, and know ur way around our own peninsula.
Where is that
Most of this is from remote rivers on the Alaska Peninsula. Some is from the Kanektok River.
where is this
Alaska
@@OPSkagit Ik it is but where exactly i am in alaska
@@martinguillamont5295 we don't give out locations on TH-cam, sorry!
@@OPSkagit I have caught a lot of silvers its just they are getting scarce so can you please tell me

Hoodoo?
The vaginal canal river.. she really puts out.
Yeah...Alaska...Knew it wasn't Washington.

R G duh.....
OPSkagit lol.... they don’t bite down here...? I know ur joking but 😂 anyway.. just Incase ur a wee todd 🤯😭
