    I have it in the rainbow version and you’re right, it’s a killer for big rainbow and brown trout in the watersheds I fish. Can’t wait to try the shad version. I have the perfect spot picked out for it! Thanks for the announcement.

    I've been waiting for spring, I'll be calling hopefully tomorrow afternoon to talk about what I need for my first fly rod! Too bad it's a 4 1/2 hour drive for me, I wish I could just visit the store, but I guess the phone will have to do.

      Not sure exactly what line he was using but he certainly bought it here:

    Got 2 Swimming Jimmies on the way! 👍 What weight rod do you prefer for size 4. I saw a reply a .012-.013 tippet was recommended.

    • @Madriveroutfitters
      @Madriveroutfitters  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We typically fish them on 7wt or 8wt rods. Feel free to call the shop if they can help further.

      Nobody here knows how to tie it! Our good friend Kelly Galloup over at the Slide Inn did it though and his is hard to beat. Check that video out and you'll be all set. Thanks!!!

  • @billbradley5159
    @billbradley5159 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Would you recommend this for white bass here in Texas as well as specks/reds on the Texas coast?

    • @charlieboutin3341
      @charlieboutin3341 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most any small white fly will get them. I’ve been catching huge numbers (release most) of Whites in central Tx. on small (size of a quarter) White & Grey Clousers. My buddy ties on 2 on a 6wt and catches 2 at a time. I prefer 1 at a time. I use a 4wt with sinking line for waist deep or deeper water. Keep fly close to the bottom. If using a floating line, use lead eyes to get it down. Good fishing to you!🎣

    • @Madriveroutfitters
      @Madriveroutfitters  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Especially in the smaller size on the white bass.

      @@Madriveroutfitters Sorry! I didn’t answer Bills question, just said what I’ve been using. I didn’t mean to interfere with sales.😬 I agree with Brian that fly will catch any fish that eats other fish..Whites, Reds, Trout and thousands of others! I tie my own flys but I tried to order some Swimmin Jimmies quite a while back and they were back ordered. I’ll definitely try again now. Thanks for all you do MRO. 🎣. (Edit) I just ordered 2..can’t wait to try on some Lunker Largemouths! 👍🎣
