I’ve been tying flies for 50 years and I am amazed at the fly tying abilities of our younger Tyers. I am learning a lot from these videos and they are entertaining. Thanks for the great video!
I’m a full blown newbie. New to your channel, new to Pike fishing, new to fly fishing and new to fly tying. Only thing not new is my old retired 65 yr old body 😂. Loving your channel. You have tied some very good looking Pike flies. Totally enjoy watching you tie them. Just curious if you would consider doing a video dedicated to your tying of a few Pike flies in normal speed? Would be a great tutorial for a new tyer. Maybe even a few fly fishing tips as well for us new to the sport. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. Totally enjoyable. Tight lines. God bless.
Love your pike videos because they make me reminisce lol. Used to have an awesome pike creek just like the ones in your videos, but a few years ago some local clubs decided to start dumping stocked trout in it, and everyone in the area started fishing it. That's not even the worst part, all the trout fishermen would accidentally catch the pike that were already in there, and instantly kill them "so they don't eat the trout." You'd go down there and the shore would be littered with dead pike, literally. So, needless to say, an awesome pike fishery was ruined by stocked trout bums. True story, this is in southwest PA. I'll never get over this, needed to share the story lol.
Man that really sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Luckily these rivers wouldn't hold trout well, although unfortunately there are still guys who like to eat these pike.
One thing that I've noticed helps me land more pike is when they hit it but don't get hooked, I just leave it and let it sit for a couple seconds and then do a couple quick strips. Sometimes they hit it just to wound or stun it, so they might also take it when it stops. Keep up the great videos, not nearly enough people are making pike fly fishing videos!
Just wishing i had more Pike opportunities near me. Ive been using big red and white, and chartreuse and white clousers. Nothing but large mouths. Excellent fish handling and video.
Your "tying" has gotten awesome. Renzetti Traveler, good choice. And good thinking about that trailer hook. Yes, ditch it... unnecessary... unless you come upon some King Mackerel.
I bought a fly rod 3 years ago and have fished my whole life with spinning. I guess I should quit being nervous and get myself out there to try something different. Thank you for inspiring your viewers! I’m cleaning the dust off the fly rod case and going for it! God Bless everyone 2019
I was the same bud. Hope you enjoy your outing on the fly rod. It's so much fun and definitely super addicting. It's gotten to the point that I keep my flyrod in the car so I can do some early morning fishing before work.
Think you are doing great! Love to see more of your tying, maybe a few slow step by step showing each material to help us new to tying. A short tutorial on your preferred leader materials complete with knot tying and how you connect to fly line would be super helpful. Best Fishes!
Great channel, and great videos! I trust that you have watched Niklas Bauer from Vision Fly Dressing and his videos. Great stuff, and a lot to learn and reflect on. Don't forget that big river pike stand in the deepest holes. Cheers from Sweden, the land of big pike.
Hello old friend! Nothing personal but I admit I've missed a few of your latest videos! but after watching this video I'm back hook, line and sinker!!!. That fly you tied should be in a frame not a pikes mouth! Lol I think you have got it right for not using a back hook, you've only been using a single hook and still connecting with the smaller fish! Great video and looking forward to the next one 😁😉🎣👍
I'm glad your back! I'll admit I have had times where I don't wanna fish a fly that I just tied.. Hopefully I can continue to have success on the single hooked flies! Thanks for watching!
@@peelindrag113 stick with the singles it's already working, I've started replacing all the treble hooks with inline single hooks on my hard lures and I would say they work better and much less nasty hook ups
Hello Peelindrag, i really enjoy watching your videos. I was wondering, could you make a video about your set up for pike fly fishing? I think many of us would like to know what kind od fly line, leader, pike wire etc. you are using, what kind of changes you make in different water conditions and so on. Thank you.
I'm glad you like them! My whole set up is listed in the description, but I'll try to put more if that info in my future videos. Thanks for the suggestion!
Your vids made me want to get into fly fishing I've been doing it for 4 or 5 months now, you also encourage me to want to make vids of my own and I'll be doing that next year when I get my license and can drive. Thank you
@@mr.lankoumbaboomba1605 to start out I'd just get a gopro hero 3+ or 4 silver. Pretty cheap and still great quality. We could definitely try to meet up someday👍
@@peelindrag113 thanks so much man, you really deserve more subs, your such a great guy, luckily i live in Ohio hopefully when that day somehow comes I'll have money for gas lol
That fat smalljaw was an excellent start! I have started to run into a few random pike and I’m starting to really like them man. They are absolute nutjobs when they attack 🤣 I really like how much you care for the fish you catch. Keep setting a good example for everyone online.
Its usually a nice 8/9 fly line strong braided loop and a decent tapered mono leader about 4ft i use 50lb tapered salmon leader using the thicker side make a simple loop then attach a wire trace all can be found on youtube, If you have trouble with the leader not straightening out during casts it could be the length of leader being too long so shorten if thats the case mono leader always helps straighten out conpared to normal line
Just a question are pike more rare most places because where I am theres so many they have a death penalty now where I am because they are so overpopulated
They aren't rare by any means, but they aren't a problem in most areas around here. In some lakes where they are over populated you can keep more pike per person though in efforts to control the population.
Nice video. Pike on the fly, does it get any better. BTW that red and white fly you tied is very similar to a red and white hackle fly which Lefty Kreh said was the best small mouth fly ever so no wonder you caught some smallies on it. Keep 'em coming.
Hey man, first off I love the videos especially catching some toothy buggers on the fly. I’ve been losing tons of chain pickeral to bite offs.. I’m wondering what your set up is (rod wt, line type are you using sink tip?, leader type) although the chain pickeral will still go for much smaller flies I am dying to chuck some big flies to pike soon! Thanks man
@@peelindrag113 idk about river like, but I find that a constant retrieve makes the takes more confident with their takes, maybe mix up the retrieve speed, but it usually works
Hello, I have one more question. Basically have a very similar setup to your typical pike fishing: 8 weight / 9 foot rod with 8 WeightMastery Titan Fly Line. The recommended largest fly setup is 1/0 (maximum). If i use a 2/0 or even a 3/0 fly, would that be way too big / heavy? My rods an echo ion xl - 9 footer. Thank you so much!!!
I'm not familiar with those fly sizes, unless that's just refering to the hook size. But with that line and an 8wt you can throw some big flies. It'll just be a little more work casting as you go up in size. I've thrown flies as big as 12" with my 8wt, but those are sparsely tied flies that don't hold a lot of water when casting. Hope this helps a bit!
@@peelindrag113 Thank you for the quick response. Very useful information! Fairly new to fly fishing, your videos helped out a lot. Tight Lines and thanks again!
Hi there, just got into fly fishing, have a couple of questions for you. 1- what weight rod are you using? Are you using a metal leader to prevent the pikes teeth from cutting your line? Thx for your help.
In this video I was using my 8wt. An 8wt is a pretty solid all around rod for bass, pike and carp. And I was also using a wire leader. My whole set up is listed in the description.
What trace do you use to avoid being snapped off by their teeth. I'm a fly fisher but fish for carp in the uk but gonna have a go for the local pike.. Seen some nice ones lurking just waiting to be caught.
@@peelindrag113 cool.. cheers mate.. can't find that over here but I'll find similar. I use plastic coated braid for carp fishing with normal rods and can strip the coating to tie knots etc so thinking of trying that also. Thanks.
@@Purecleanexteriorcleaning careful with braided lines, typically one of the easiest for pike to cut unless there is some kind of wire in there. Good luck!
Hey Josh I have a question can you please send me a material list for all the materials do you used in that fly I’m sorry you are you told me about it on Instagram I just need a list to go in the nomad
I’ve been tying flies for 50 years and I am amazed at the fly tying abilities of our younger Tyers. I am learning a lot from these videos and they are entertaining. Thanks for the great video!
Super happy to see someone handling pike correctly! Mean fish but they’re fragile. Glad to see them all returned safe
How are you supposed to handle them? I’m new and would like to learn

Just bought some of your flies at nomad anglers and caught 5 pike back to back! Keep up the great work
Wow! I'm glad to hear they're getting put to use! Many more videos to come
You should try some underwater footage of your flys

Thanks! It's a great vise for sure. I'm definitely liking the single hook so far.
After finishing homework at 11 at night this video made my night! Great way to end the day!

2020 is a bitch. Nice comment tho.
Hello, great film, anything on the fly is the best way to go, keep doing what you like, always good 😁🎣
I enjoy all your videos fly fishing and centerpinning! Can't wait for next video.
Can't wait to get some steelhead on the pin this fall!
Heck ya man! Nothing like catching pike on your owns flies🤙

DUDE! That was a Sweet Pike!!!
Do you ever use the rolly polly retrieve (tuck the rod under your arm and retrieve with two hands, rolling one hand over the other)
I've seen it done but never felt like it would help me get more fish. These pike seem to like the little pause between strips.
@@peelindrag113 idk about river like, but I find that a constant retrieve makes the takes more confident with their takes, maybe mix up the retrieve speed, but it usually works
Lol my river is the complete opposite tons of smallies rarely find pike
