"Always Be Closing" - Glengarry Glen Ross. Great five flies, guys. Thanks!
January Question- Confidence is everything, and I am learning this more and more. I am pretty new and have been getting confident in my tight lining, indicator and even throwing some dries. I have yet to throw a streamer at trout because I feel overwhelmed with all of the information out there and feel pressure to catch fish when I go out due to only getting out a couple times a year. I fish tail waters for the most part that range from 2-4 foot deep runs and some 6 foot deep pools. Obviously the more time on the water is the best way to build confidence. Until I get that confidence built up, what would be a good starter technique and leader set up? Sinking, non-sinking line, up stream, down stream presentation, 9 foot, 4 foot leader etc. Thanks for the suggestions and starting point to cut down on all the info. I’m going to have to learn to get over this numbers mindset and get into a learning one.
Thanks for the show!
A question, a comment, and and an observation. Actually 2 questions, and not in that order. My comment is everyone of of your guests provide incredible insight into their approach to designing new patters and how they fish them. Love it. Observation has a tendency to lean further back from the microphone as he imbibes whiskey and becomes more relaxed, making it harder to hear him. And the questions: what sizes do you tie the Meat Whistle and for January, what flies do you recommend when the water is super low and clear and cold; and what flies do you recommend for when the water's muddy and rising (aka it's raining like hell)? HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year boys!
Questions for January:
1. winter fishing is kicking my butt, how can I better understand where these minuscule flies are floating?
2. How do you make fishing friends? None of mine enjoy fishing
When you are fishing a double midge rig in the winter are you Euro nymphing or indicator fishing? If you are Euro nymphing are using weight in slow water?
Great guide advice. I learn a ton about fishing these beats better week to week. Grad school for the canyon. Engaging "stealth mode" tomorrow. Need to be a better neighbor...at least through the holidays.
Great 5 flies with Landon. Every description of Golden Dorado is spot on. Tanner did a great job helping me out gear up for a Boliva trip for Golden dudes.. Question for 5 flies in January, Tanner.. what is the most crazy fly you tied and used in January that caught some amazing trout.
Videos have been on point keep up the good work !! I had a gear question what do you guys prefer as far as go to packs? In the market for something new but can’t decide on a sling/hip/back pack would like to hear your preferences!
Hey guys. The five flies videos have been great and you’ve talked to some awesome fly tiers along the way. As a beginner fly tier I started tying relatively larger flies (like size 18+) because I thought they’d be easier. Since winter started though I’ve found a bunch of size 22 and 24 patterns are actually much easier to tie than expected (as long as you have good vision)… I know you’re in the biz of selling flies, but it might be helpful to highlight that new tiers shouldn’t be afraid of small sizes. Just a thought for these winter five flies. Thanks for all the work you do
Hi , I am a big fan , I love the channel ,and I cannot thank you enough for the effort you provide for the sport .I have a question : when it comes to euro nymphing , how do you adjust the tippet length vs the water depth ? Many subject matter experts claim if the fly is touching the bottom , the fish won't touch it . Can you please elaborate or make a video .Your help is always appreciated .
Love the sound effects
Nymphing two midges, how far up or down are you placing your indicator?
How do you choose your attractor fly? Is it based on water clarity, aquatic life, etc.?

@@TroutsFlyFishing Email sent! Thank you so much!
January Question: After getting some excellent cold weather gear from Trouts Fly Fishing, I ventured out for my first winter season and have had a great time! I heard about ice in rod guides but, instead of this, I experienced a completely frozen leader and my flies were ice balls (fishing Deckers, ~25 °F). Any ice management tips for the uninitiated? Thanks for the great content as always!

Question for Jan related to a Dec fly : A size 16 Blowtorch has become my #1 confidence fly - but it goes against almost everything in the "fly fishing bible". I just fished it mid Dec as my point fly in 20 deg weather in a tailwater that normally produces 8-10 inch fish. It got aggressively HAMMERED by 12"-14" fish while my size 20 nymph was barely touched. Does it "match the hatch"? Hell no! Does it jive w/the theory you gotta go small in winter? Hell no! Thoughts on what's happening?? Should expect this same behavior into Jan.?
"Always Be Closing!" comes from the movie Glengarry Glen Ross
If you're looking to win the Guide Flies book, Landon clarifies later that he's looking for a quote from a show.
Ive been fishing deckers and cheeseman approx 1 time per week the last two months as the action has gotten slower. Moving to different spots in winter is critical to catching 5-10 fish in a few hours. Fish from a far distance, in the high percentage areas, with some midges and an egg and you will get a handful of fish. If you are spending more then 20 minutes at one spot, you're doing it wrong. However, didnt see any spawning fish and didnt catch a fish on an egg - so it might be midges till march.
This was correct.
Landon the GREAT!! We finally get advice from someone who actually knows what he talking about. just kidding fellas keep up the good work.
My ? Who's putting on the Santa suit this year and going fishing 😅🎣

Tanner is a bit tough to hear.
bummah, Dan. He sounds good on our end. Any timestamps in particular there, Kochanek?
@@TroutsFlyFishing I will just have to turn my hearing aids up I guess!!
@@dankochanek8056 I went back and looked at the edit in Premiere and his peak gain is a couple dbs lower than Landons and mine. So, he's a little softer.
