I love my float tube. It’s like fishing from a BarcaLounger. I sit high out of water. Vision is excellent. I can strap my pack to it and hike it back to anyplace a day hike distance.
Damn... I love my float tube. I can't imagine fishing from a SUP board... Mind you I don't think I could even balance on one... And it's hard to fish when you're swimming in the lake. But yeah... I love me some float tube fishing.
I love my float tube. I have two boats and haven’t been in either one of them since I got my float tube six years ago. The biggest drawbacks are limited range and wind. Not enough of a deterrent to put me back in the boat. There are way more advantages.
Great video! I recently discovered how important good line is. It makes the world of difference. I would almost argue that good line is more important than a good rod. I’m still running a slightly budget rod, and it is fine. Tight lines, bro! 😉
Barbs are better if you pinch them down than when you don’t have them at all. So yeah pinch them the little spot on the shank helps the fish don’t slip so easily off the hook.
Agree with your take on don’t needs. Uh, except for midges. When going after the big boys it’s always size 36 midges on 10x tippet....barbless of course. Maybe I’ll catch one some day. Thanks for the entertaining video. Makes Monday easier to bear!
Because of a bad back I carry all my stuff in a waist pack. And I can't fish an hour with a light one hand rod, but for "many" with two handers. You use you back in a totally different way - hope some of those, who might have stopped or given up learning because of the pain, can use the info.
Taking the time to commit an image and the sounds and surroundings to memory lasts much longer, is more vivid and I have been able to catalog them so that I can return to something mentally much better than with an image.
I live in British Columbia. All rivers and streams are single barbless hook only with a bait ban. A lot of lakes are also going single barbless too and dropping the limit from 4 to 1 fish.
If they're wild populations that are vulnerable then I can agree with those rules but if you're fishing stocked populations in lakes then thats a little too damn controlling and stupid,those fish are domesticated finned chickens produced in mass and were meant to be kept and eaten.
New to fly fishing and I’m glad I found your videos. I hear of this elite stuck up sector of the community but luckily I have yet to run into that. Or maybe I’m too new and naive to realize, either way I’m having a great time scaring fish and drinking beer. Thanks
I liked the commentary on the "trophy" private water trout. A couple generations ago, they were called doughbellys around here. As you see, that is quite a complementary nickname. Go get you some doughbellys boys and girls.
Good video !! I have a special empty fly box that I show others and say that I have midges in it just to impress them. Now I gotta go find that camera in the bathroom . Tight lines man !
Tight lines bro!! LMAO I feel exactly the same when I hear it too..I stick wit the age old..Good Luck..and yea u called it..I was def watchin in "my office"
I picked up my float tube for 80$ on craigslist, i like it because a lot of alpine lakes are too shallow before the drop off (where the fish are) and it’s impossible to cast that far with ultralight gear or fly rods in many cases
Ben as usual, waaaaay Huge!!! I’m cracking up the whole way through.... “I wonder how many of you are watching this from the bathroom??” I mean you got serious unserious talent!!!! I even heard a tad bit familiarity of “Hank Patterson... renond fly fishing guide and professional fly fisherman “ blahaaaaahaha🤘

Hahaaa. Midges..... my fingers are cold..... like butter
Huge Fly Fisherman already a customer of theirs 👍
Yup, you caught me. Totally watched this on the throne.
matthew russel yup me too haha
Same
Only time I watch TH-cam lol
Yup
Yup!
This video helped me become a pro midge guide. Thanks bro. Tight lines!
How to tie a midge: attach thread to the smallest hook you have aaaaand whip finish. Stay huge 🤓
Don’t forget the pro guide edition: topped with a copper wire wrap
I like to "butter" my "tight lines" while fishing for "cutties". - Pro Guide
LMAO!
#TightLines bro
“Tight lines catching those buttery Cutties!!”

You are wrong
Damn... I love my float tube.
I can't imagine fishing from a SUP board... Mind you I don't think I could even balance on one... And it's hard to fish when you're swimming in the lake.
But yeah... I love me some float tube fishing.
Besides "tight lines", the word "epic" when describing every fishing trip!!
You without sunglasses is freaking me out!!!
Hey Man, the cast to that cuttie was butter! Tight lines!

"Any" rod and a good line beats the oposite any time. I still remember my first cast with a good line - it was addictive.
Barbs are better if you pinch them down than when you don’t have them at all. So yeah pinch them the little spot on the shank helps the fish don’t slip so easily off the hook.
I fly fish pike, muskies, smallmouth bass and carp, your fly box and my fly box have many common features
Loved it. But I'm not getting rid of my rod vault. Tight li.......argh. Thanks Ben. I'll be waiting for the Guide's choice koozie
I have a fishing kayak, the seat is like a lawn chair so I'm pretty elevated. Works great for drifting by myself.
Died laughing in the first five seconds. Definitely on the toilet right now.
I'll never give up my float tube, it holds plenty of beer. But it could use a pro guide koozie...

Wow, I'm doing better than I thought, I've only been fly fishing for a little over a year and I already don't have most of these.
The part about dog/cat food fed “trophies” was amazing. Especially when it’s private pay to play “trophies.” The worst. 😂😂🤣🤣
Tight lines to you Pro Guide Sir👊
Agree about confidence in a fly. Love your tackle boxes
Great video, bro! I’m on my way to catch some bows, cutties, and maybe even butter. Wish me luck!
Tight lines!
2:34 woah bro are you a streamer junky
Those neck gaters are nice for going into doctors appointments, I keep them in my truck just for that lol
❤😂Thank you for sharing……time for fly fishing to give up the hype and just enjoy it for what is does
1:32 major butter.
Would love to see you and Hank Patterson collaborate on a video. Tight lines! lol
Very good helpful video, keep your lines tight(tight lines).
More! More! You need your own prime time TV show! Now I gotta wait a whole week for the next one.
I always enjoy your videos on the toilet playing with my tenkara pole!
I'm a midge fan....and I loved this! Cheers!
i do use tiny flies when early spring fly fishing only because i like to catch the tiny 3 inch largemouth bass in the river.
Living in Yellowstone this summer. Catching Cutties and buttery Browns!
Tightlines bro
You too. Hoping this weekend to go out and a trophy stockie on a midge pattern.
@@carlmoeller56 Rad! what sort of ladder do you haul with you, I think an eight foot aluminum is perfect for midge fishin
YES! Huge Fly Fisherman Pro Guide Koozie . . . PLEASE!
Love it!! Always looking forward to Monday morning coffee talk with Ben. 🎣🐋🍻
Hi Mike!
Because of a bad back I carry all my stuff in a waist pack. And I can't fish an hour with a light one hand rod, but for "many" with two handers. You use you back in a totally different way - hope some of those, who might have stopped or given up learning because of the pain, can use the info.
Weird thing is.......
This doesn't apply for just fly fishing, it's GREAT advice for fishing generally 👍👍👍
Best thing I've ever done, is get rid my social network! More time enjoying real life situations.
Kent Todd I mean TH-cam is a social network
True! But at least I get to monitor what I want to see, as far as positivity.
Kent Todd
What is social media?

Sitting in the chitter thanks for another great video!!

Most are "like you".
More great huge advice! The fried chicken threw me off initially. I was like WHAT!!??
Fishing with the family is the best

My best Fly, Dark Henderson, fished like a streamer.
Ouch, I don’t think float tubes are all that bad depending on where you fish. Mine has been an invaluable tool fishing still water.
No
Hahahaha. Loved the fly box, I hate midges when I learned to fish the line was big bait big fish. I never got over that.
I am! Watching from the bathroom that is!
Tight lines bro!! LMAO I feel exactly the same when I hear it too..I stick wit the age old..Good Luck..and yea u called it..I was def watchin in "my office"
Tight Lines bro

And I’m talking about alpine lakes, otherwise i’d take a kayak but that wouldn’t be feasible
3 years later, still indeed watching from the bathroom. Killer content
do you need NordVPN to be a flyfisherman?
😂😂😂😂
If you want to protect your "perfect fishing hole" research from those pesky hackers trying to steal our valuable secrets.
Hey Ben! Nailing the cutties on my midge patterns lately! Tight lines bra!
Love it!!! You're saying everything I've been thinking for the past couple of years! Well not everything. I think of other stuff too, sometimes.
Tight lines Ben
"Fried Chicken?" you had me there for a minute. Keep it Huge er a "Bent" Ben.
Bought my Rod at Orvis, and promptly went to Cabela's to get the $20 reel instead of the $120 model at Orvis which was the cheapest reel there.
Yep for sure chicken and beer sound great after a day of getting the BX ll bent 🎣
Great tips. Tightlines brah.
Great vid Ben, tight lines! ....:)
I caught a 21inch STOCKED trout! Lol!
Bustin' butter bellies in PA over here. Hopefully the cutties are cooperating for you western guys. Tight lines!
Cool video....my neck gator is crying.
Tight lines!
PRO GUIDE here, great vid! Great info!
TIGHTLINES! 👍🏽
Dude. Caught some bows on my Tenkara yesterday. I slayed them.
Im no pro fly fisher, i use streaking caddis 80% of the time. My favorite fly :)
I now know why I'm not having great success catching trout! I'm not bringing the FRIED CHICKEN!!!! Many thanks for another great video!
Clauser minnow haha.. everyone has to have some faith in the old faithful
Tight lines bro
Well now i have to. Great vid bro. Love them cuttys and butter. TIGHT LINES!!!!
Tight lines!!!
pierced my ear my first day of trying. decided to watch videos after
Dude you rock. As some would say "keepin it real".
…you can carry more beer… best reason ever!
Used to tie and fish size 26 midges
Perfect video. Most applies to bass fishing also. Yes I’m wierd and do both. Stay huge !
You should do a video on nippers...ok, don't. Tip #13: You don't need $100 nippers. Although, they do look pretty cool hanging from a $25 lanyard.
that is definitely my fly box ....no midges
Living 45 min from the San Juan tailwater, I've had to accept using midges when I go down there😂
Should do a piece on flat brim hats vs regular fit.
Ben as usual, waaaaay Huge!!! I’m cracking up the whole way through.... “I wonder how many of you are watching this from the bathroom??” I mean you got serious unserious talent!!!! I even heard a tad bit familiarity of “Hank Patterson... renond fly fishing guide and professional fly fisherman “ blahaaaaahaha🤘
No midges? OMG YES!!!!!!! I have about -43% confidence in fishing them anyway. Plus I don't even have a fishing friend, so that works out lol.
That intro though. You got me 😂
But I really, really like a float tube!
I fished with midges last weekend. Didn’t catch any fish but my cat ate a midge after I got home. Turned into an expensive day real fast. No midges!
ouch
Yeah I dont let my dog come into the garage anywhere near my tying bench...
Tight lines! 😝
What about the fish stomach pump? That seems a bit silly to me.
Barbs are illegal in B.C. Canada never used em never had a problem!!
Brayden Laplante that's not accurate. Barbs are illegal in some water in BC.
Hey nice video! Ive been watching you for a while now and I’m lovin it! Tight lines!
Great stuff! 100% agree about the expensive stuff . 🥓
I will def take a pro level koozie
My cousin calls stocked trout pellet heads.
Will the pro guide koozie work on pint cans?
Tight Lines to all the floating tube guys and gals:-)
Everything you said is totally true! Thanks great stuff.
