I caught some piggy brownies on the fly using some of my meaty hand tied flys. Tight lines!
I don’t know why but the “tight lines” bothers me too. Sounds manufactured. Been fly fishing since I was a kid never heard it it until I was in my fifties. I thought it might have been a secret society sign and the guy was waiting for a countersign. How about, good luck, or have a good day out there or enjoy your day or just “good fishing!” Nice vid. Thanks
I hear "Let's go" and I turn the video off. "Tight lines" is a close second for me.
Its been really overused and sounds corny
@@jeramyh9344 followed by people saying "fish on" not relating to a hook set
Tactical, you killed me with that one!! Thanks for making my day!
Yup, "Orvis'd up" is another duded-up creep! They dry-clean their fishing duds! LOL ;D
DAPPING.
This is something new to me since I have been spending time in Ireland over the past several years. Currently I live on the Texas coast and fly fish the bays and occasionally go offshore. Beside saltwater fly fishing I do get out occassionly to fish freshwaters around the States ( ie. Yellowstone, Black Hills ,Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, North Carolina, and of course Texas). My new neighbor on Lough Mask, Eddie, has been fishing Lough Mask since he was a child ( he turned 80 this past summer). He grew up making money as a gilley which is the term for a fishing guide. He has a ton of interesting stories to tell and I am trying my best to learn from him.
They do things differently over there from the techniques I have been previously exposed to. Their dapping rods are longer than our typical fly rods and they go out in the morning to collect live mayflies to use instead of artifically tied ones.
I thought it might make an interesting topic for one of your podcasts.
I flossed a lunker cutty on the fly with hand tied flys while high holing with an LDR at the end.
sounds good, but what fly pole were you using? ;D
@@ronschlorff7089 Tenkara :D
You missed my favorite, “short finned grayling “ ( Whitefish ) Thanks , I can’t wait until spring to hear how they tight lined a Hugh hog on a hand tied fly on a 12’ 0 wt tenkara rod :-)
Omg 😂 the picture of Jordan flossing vs snagging 😭😭😭 you love poking us pnw guys.
Yes!!! Hand tied flies! I have complained about that for years! Thank you.
don' t you mean flys? 😆+
Yup, like the marquee at the "Gentleman's" strip club that says: "Live Girls". Think about that for a second! ;D LOL
Informative as well as entertaining. Thank you so much! I'm glad I found your channel and will start fly fishing this week. My fly rod combo should be here tomorrow!
This just may be my favorite Huge video!
Utah guys are soooo tactical bro! So steez when you’re nymphing the Provo and that 3.69420 mm bead hits a trout in the jaw. 😎
normal dress for them, to go to weddings, funerals, etc. like that! ;D
Good morning Ben,
Hope all is well with the family, I just enjoy your take on things. I laugh at my self and learn a few things.
I enjoy your fishing videos especially when you take your kids. That’s because starting the chapter with my granddaughter. I will make sure see watches all your content where she want make all the mistakes I did🤣🤣🤣 have a great day and stay huge 👍
You should do a couple of videos on Fly Fishing SLANG & TERMINOLOGY
love me them hand-tied tactical on-the-flyes
Ah, puck you!! LOL I use pucks lined with foam to hold pre-tied rigs so when you break off, your fishing again quickly.
I love your FLYS videos
hahaha paul worseling and family flossing soz from aus thats gold
That was awesome thanks for making my day
Huge video! 👍👌🎣
You forgot the endearing terms for large mouth bass such as ditch pickles of bucket mouths! Stay Huge!
Just came across your video's, crazy funny, keep em coming
Spot on! Couldn't agree more!
Let’s go ! Ben has laid down the gospel. Take the rocket launcher off your taco , ditch your meat flys and quit worrying about catching toads . Keep your line’s tight and maybe you’ll catch that butter . Hey don’t be a hater just keep it reel ! 😁
Your best video!!!!!
Dude you’re the best , 100% accurate , specially the tacos guy ha😂😂😂haha
after missing the hookset multiple times my guide told me to try and break his rod and hook set 12 times....hahahahah
"I'm slaying them! How are you doing?" Ugh. When I hear that I run away, wade away, motor away, walk away, sachet away, even drift away...
Flossing in Alaska is done when fishing for fresh (as in silver-colored) sockeye salmon. As these fish don't strike anything on their way upstream, that is the only way to catch them. All guides on the Kenai River teach their clients how to floss when fishing for sockeye. However, when fishing for coho salmon, we do not floss because they will strike. When fishing for trout, no fisherman would dream of flossing. All that said, if you want to come up here in the summer and show us how to catch "Reds" without flossing, I will be your willing student. Great videos by the way!
Always entertaining. now back to tying FLYS.
and be sure to do it "by hand" now!! ;D
I’m not sure if it’s just a Florida thing, but another term for a large fish is adding “gator” as a prefix. Gator trout, gator bass, gator red, and so on.
I've only ever heard Gator Trout. The big ones get large fangs on them, hence the name. Otherwise, its "Big ol bass, bull red etc." for me.
@@RSdd11 yup, and i suppose, for Ben's favorite thing, naming the fish, the names "Junior" (little ones) and "Bubba" (big ones) come up a lot in the conversation!! LOL ;D
I laughed at this one good stuff
Tight lines man😂
Flys has always been a pet peeve of mine too.
Costanza reference was gold.
I bet Ben has not done a "Dollar Store Lure Challenge" and I probably won't have to look at his 200 older videos to know. It would be a pretty good challenge for Ben, but he will crush it, along with a few PBRs, or Coors.
that's for "bait" fishers, they often have Velveeta on sale there, 2 for one! ;D
6:28 Not a fan of flossing, but as an AK guide sometimes there’s no other option. Sockeyes show up between king and silver season, so there’s a span of a few weeks when they’re the only fish around besides pinks and everybody hates those. Sockeye don’t feed in fresh water period, so flossing them is the only option. If you book a trip between kings and silvers it’s not your guide’s fault if that’s what you end up doing. Do your research and book a trip later in the season.
The most controversial statement flew way under the radar, "steelhead come from the ocean." Glad to see you fall on the right side of that debate :)
yes, and the "half-pounders" that weigh in at 4 to 6 pounds!! Like on the Klamath river in NW CA.
This video reminded me of that ZZ Top tune , Velcro Flies.
Hey Ben, FISH ON!!! Sorry I couldn't help it. This makes me grind my teeth at night.
Thanks Ben, now get off of my lawn. Tight Lines!
yes, and "hey hey, hee hee, get off of my cloud" too!! ;D
. . . only one letter away from FLYZ!!!
How are you here and in Patagonia at the same time? #magic
I always thought Tight Lines was a statement to other fishermen, wishing them a good day on the water.
A Stonker!
You should do a video on fly fishing slang. That was awesome BTW.
To be fair... a LOT of people assume that fly fishing is only for trout.
I see I'm not welcome here 😆
Video idea: Take your kids and go to one of the local park ponds or lakes fly fishing. You could even setup a Huge Fly Fisherman event. I live in Kansas and do not have access to alpine lakes or trout streams so I am stuck gong to local parks or farm ponds. Just show how fly fishing can be accessible to the "common folks".
Wow, I didn't hear "rip lips"
Another great video.
You mentioned video ideas and I haven’t seen a 6wt rod shootout for rods less than $500. That’d be a cool one
I’m a center pin guy soo let the good times roll😊
Little late but isn’t that guy with no arms the one that was yelling at Dave portnoy 😂
Their are so many people who say flys wear they actually mean flies. It’s up to us weather we point it out or not.
If you're trying to catch sockeyes in freshwater and you're not flossing, good luck. If you actually do catch one not flossing that's just dumb luck. Sockeye like most salmon stop feeding when they hit the fresh.
P.S. I say cutties because this guy tells me not to.
100%
Why fish spawning sockeyes in the first place?
If you let all the sockeyes spawn, in 3yrs the amount of fish returning to the rivers would be in the millions. That amount of fish all trying to spawn in the same place would be disastrous. Fish and Game in AK does a pretty good job of estimating runs and establishing limits for both commercial and public fisheries.
@@fishfoolishness4222 there are plenty of ways to manage a fishery. If you're suggesting that sport flossing sockeye with fly gear is an effective way of managing return numbers and this is why sport fisherman do it.... Im not sure i can get on board with that explanation. Thank you for the response though.
It's eyes were on both sides of the boat
High- and Low- holing is pretty relative. In popular streams here in PA, it's kinda hard to fish without being upstream or downstream or in the same water as another flyfisher.
The etiquette is to go up a few bends before getting in though, which is different
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO
The high and low holing brought back an interesting event to me. Several years ago I was fishing the San Juan, and this particular day I was on the water at daybreak, freezing my fins off. By about mid morning I was working upstream to a particularly good hole when a strikingly fresh guide and sport (probably just left breakfast at Abe’s) paused roughly abeam my uncharacteristically perfectly drifting dry (yeah,thanks, I’m sure the fish never saw you two clowns stumbling up the bank) and asked “mind if we hop in ahead of you?” (referring to that good hole I had been working up to for a considerable time and was within maybe two upstream moves of fishing). “Actually, yes, I DO mind” I said, to which el guido snarked something about there being “a lot of water” and I THOUGHT “yeah, there is…go find another piece of it”. Fortunately they saw the wisdom of moving on up a bit more. Maybe I looked kinda rough and maybe irritated from my early start, or maybe they read my mind, or maybe they just decided to not be jerks, but their parting comment left me wondering “WHY DID YOU EVEN ASK?”.
SOOO… dude,if you’re out there, thanks for not being a colossal jerk, and only being a moderate jerk.
I’m from pa and it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, I act stupid since I’m 14 and leave right away…
That's because you're a hot spotter lol
@@phoult37 on some streams, if you follow that policy, you'll spend your day taking your rod for a nice long hike in waders, without ever making a single cast.
Generally, on more crowded water, I'll find a decent enough area and if someone's fishing it, I'll ask them which way they're working and if they'd mind if I start fishing the opposite direction. The direction is the key thing there, and it'd take a real jerk to say something like, "I'm fishing upstream, but no, don't fish below me." (If you get a piece of work that says something like that, I think you're allowed to just high hole them.)
Where is your family from? I say Gof, too.
Great videos, thanks!
HEY! you can fish fly, lure and bait!
Noooooo! Not the Taco!
C’mon!!
rowin and broin ,,,,, colorado specific d-bagging
I was waiting for "butter," but I understand time constraints
yes, and the organic grass-fed non-GMO butter is the best you can get. It's gluten-free too!!! ;D
That'll do
The FLYS thing really gets me. I've even seen big time fly shops do this.
a really interesting idea for vid would be for Ben to get some folks on a trip to write down the plural word for fly and see who writes "flies" and who writes "flys", and then see who hooks the most fish. It would be totally "valid scientific research", mind you, I'm sure. LOL. My bet is those who suck at spelling beat those who suck at fishing, but excel at spellin' LOL :D
I mean.. it can bother you guys all you want but that’s literally the trend in marketing lately, finding unique ways to spell everything. Or should I say UNQ MKTNG 😂
@@RyanB-gi2fj yup, they call it "text speak", but the young-uns, who are good at it, wonder why they get turned down on their applications for decent jobs that they have to submit!! Except at Wal mart and Whole Foods of course, as long as you have a warm body for the former and tats and dreds for the latter! ;D LOL
@@RyanB-gi2fj Unique spelling has been a marketing technique for a long time. It's supposed to catch your eye because your brain should be telling you it's spelled wrong and make you do a double take. However, the unique spellings are never grammatical errors. You would want a your misspelling to be intuitively obvious that it was done intentionally - otherwise you look like you could be a dumb ass.
“HUGE” Is the “GARAND THUMB” of fly fishing world especially the comments section!
🤙
Where are we on “ball and chain” for indicator nymphing? Yes it works and yes it’s the primary option in cold weather when you don’t want to “chuck meat”. I’m ok with it but am willing to hear why I need to stop.
The tactical one killed me.
Why not cutties though? I hear that and cutts quite often
This from a guy who ‘spanks’ trout.😂 But seriously, I caught some nice ‘throats’ in Idaho this year and some ‘booger’ redfish in the delta, but ‘farmed off’ some Bulls. Not to mention some ‘slab’ crappie and ‘magnum’ spotted bass. But more seriously, my favorite is when guys tell me they caught a bunch of ‘native’ brown trout. Impossible and pretentious!🤦
i think i’m a high holing tactical flosser hooked on pisces hogs
On the swing counts though, right?
Edit: The only thing that should be calling bull trout, bullies, are small fish
I suppose you could call a bull trout a "Bovine", and the fly you catch them on a "wooly bully" after the old rock and roll song!! :D
I have to say when I first heard someone say "on the fly"" I thought "THE fly? theres only one?...sounds like on the rag...gross..."
"Not a real fly fisherman." That one bugs me. " You fish for bass, carp, pike, walleye. You're not a real fly fisherman." You use sinking line, sink tip, lead. You're not a real fly fisherman." Bite me. I fly fish, I also spin fish, troll, ice fish I've even been known to spear and noodle fish. Saturday I was icing slabs (crappie) with an ice fly (tungsten jig).
yes, on all that, but we all agree that Tenkara is not "real" fly fishing, right Ben! ;D
“Technical” is worse than tactical. Everyone time someone tells me “it’s really technical water” I always ask what does that mean, or just tell them that must mean they can’t catch fish so they claim the water is “technical”
So I guess The slang fishy is out :)
Funny
Brownies is dumb too!
German brown is worser! LOL
Thank you.
I passed you on I70 last week didn’t I?
I have on the fly on my peterbilt but. I fly fish, fly paramotor and always on the go. So hate me!!
LDR = Quick Release 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Here in new New Zealand we say jacks instead of saying bucks
I detest “tight lines”. I also detest “disrespectful to the fish”. Unless you’re asserting dominance by placing a boot on its neck as you declare victory, there’s not much more you can do to disrespect the fish than what you’ve already done. The fish isnt aware of the moral/ethical cats cradle we’re navigating. All it knows is it was minding its own business when it got hooked and unceremoniously hauled from the water.
Can you do an episode called "Fly Fishing SLANG & TERMINOLOGY"? Maybe a second episode, even? Thanks!
Harry Middleton versus Thomas McGuane Middleton, definitely Middleton.
Can we ban “quiver” when discussing rods? I always get a Robin Hood/Men in Tights vibe when I hear that word. And how about protecting a river or a a stream rather than the affected “resource”
by the time I finish searching through your library of videos I've forgotten what I'm looking for and the video idea to begin with but now I have 7 more of your videos all tabbed up ready to watch...SO i'm going to put the idea here and delete it if I find it..... How to care for your fly line, rod, reel and other gear so they last longer. and what cheap gear to buy, and what cheap gear is trash. YEE YEE!
Farm or Farming!
I have a “friend” that calls brown trout “butter” and bass tournaments “derbies”. Don’t do that either.
I think basically every Alaska guide teaches flossing for sockeye. It is locally referred to as the “Kenai River twitch” However it is so annoying when people call it flyfishing. I use a fly rod, but I would never refer to it as “flyfishing”.
It should say if you're fishing for red sockeye on their spawning grounds then you have a bad guide. There's really no way to get fresh sockeye without flossing, but it's definitely not fly fishing.

Cam we just agree a big fish is just a chonk? Works for cats
Is 100 yards too close to high or low hole? 🤔
I can't wait to go fishing with my flys and catch a bunch of buttery brownies and cutties. (triggered, yet? lol)
I always and only refer to my Tacoma as TRD Ferguson
Hank Paterson will teach you how to mend
Bullies lol we call them bulls in Canada, and we have lots of them. Cutts, not cutties, and we also have lots of them also.
and char which are brook trout or brookies or "speckled trout" in the far and furry North,..eh? LOL ;D
@Ron Schlorff no I'm from Alberta we don't call then specks here and we don't have many of them
@Ron Schlorff mostly specks are in Ontario and Quebec and they don't have bulls or Cutts there.
@@evanhammond7305 right, you must be out west. I was from Manitoba, and they called them speckled trout. Also, walleyes were Pickeral. :D
@@evanhammond7305 I understand!
I've discovered the best fly in the world and I'm prepared to share the secret with you, it consist of a 3mm (1/8") glow in the dark pink tube (cut to desired lengt, 2-5 cm or aprox 1/2" to 1.5"), you thread your leader through the tube and tie on a hook of prefered size (depends on the fish you are after) This simple "tube fly" has helped me catch ALOT of fish (i mostly fish for rainbow trout, brown trout and sea run brown trout. Please consider trying out this "fly" to see if it works in your waters on the other side of the earth. Cheers from Sweden!
Taco Truck Nuts should be a fly name.
In Kenya we say cock and hen for males and females respectively. I believe it harkens back to the British colonial era when they were stocking rainbows and browns.
yes, and in steelhead fishing, on the west coast of US, the male is called the "rooster fish"!! LOL
Since you mentioned flies, what does the abbreviation “CDC” refer to ?
Serious?
Flys tyed with a ducks ass.
Reminder if what he says triggers you and you laugh it’s okay because he’s funny as fuck
