10:15 A real blue collar moment. Getting ready for my yearly content providers Christmas buy because of the great content you and a number of other shops put out. Thanks always!
Just wanna say reds fly shop is the best. Staff is unbelievably knowledgeable and eager to help. I bought a defective opst commando smooth and the salesman remembered my face from the week before and replaced it free of charge . Can’t say enough about the team at reds.
Love you man. But your ID is ...well, crooked flat bill hat and mustachio... I've gone through my own. Find you! As for the vids, phenomenal! You guys are awesome. I love the details and info. Thank you!
The crooked wasn’t intentional! I had to keep taking my sunglasses off to help Eric with camera settings. Almost shot it again but the darn talk was over 20 minutes long. 😂
You guys rock. I want to see if can do a video on mending your line before you finish your cast. Just curious on the difference between yours and mine. Thanks
Thanks for watching Sean, I think the tight line rig with small streamers is one of the most misunderstood and underappreciated facets in fly. Great to hear others are doing this as well.
Awesome video! Great information well presented. I hesitate to use jig hooks in general primarily because of their propensity to brain fish. Especially the smaller ones. Your thoughts? Best!
I'm glad you asked, that's a serious consideration but I have not seen that, even once. These are very light wire short shank hooks. Not a like a "crappie jig" profile. They are all quite delicate. 90% of the time it's in the upper lip, no blood no foul. I fish that river in the background A LOT and am extremely protective of the trout health here and have found that these smaller more modern streamer hooks are much kinder on the trout.
The soccer mom looks pretty fishy with the gray squirrel. I've been tying everything on a #10 Hanak dry; it's a great thin wire hook. Wish they made a #8 dry, because I prefer larger hook gaps. Firehole makes an #8 dry but the wire isn't as thin; however, it's pretty close. I end up going a few hook sizes up, and bring the body to the hook point instead of the bend of the hook.
Great intel here thanks for sharing, the light wire hooks of today are outstanding. Super penetration, slick and barbless. As fish friendly as it gets considering we are hookin' em haha.
Yes, the best system I've found is using a technical nymphing rod and Czech style nymphing this pattern on the bottom. Crawfish rarely leave the bottom, and only for a few inches at most so keeping it "on the floor" is where I've had amazing success. Big fish tend to favor the craw. redsflyfishing.com/products/joes-mini-crawfish-euro-style-crawfish-nymph
Hey Joe , you know that streamer that you lost? It’s on your upper lip. You’re welcome.

Ha yes for sure. Thanks for the watch!

Thanks so much! We appreciate the support and positive vibes. Fish on!
I thought I didn’t need to watch this video. I am now glad that I did 😂
Thanks Dan! Appreciate the nice comment.

Special Agent Joe with another banger.

I'm working on a dry fly video right now, very long form style video, and I cover this a bit. Watch for it next week.
Another great video Joe! I love running jig streamers on a tight line rig! I hope you do that New Zealand setup for jig streamers? Thanks

You have a recommendation when fishing a river with crawdads in it?

Who's the Limp Bizkit groupie giving fishing advice? 😂
Ok that's pretty damn funny. Keep 'em coming!
He’s a slightly less angry Eminem. Or Deputy Travis Junior, from Reno 911, investigating a trout smuggling ring.
Those are wet flies! Streamers start at 4”.
So do dwarfs!
