Still my favorite fishing channel, nobody seems to river fish in there videos , that’s all I do so it’s nice to watch when I can’t be out! Pike have everything you could ask for in a fish! If you ever wanna come down to NW Ohio for some pike fishing I could hook you up!
Love the video. I can't wait to get out and do some fishing myself. Keep doing the fly tying segments. I'm learning a lot from watching you tye. Thanks again for another cool video. 👍
I'm not sure why I just now saw this in late November, but this is an excellent vid, brother. I think I enjoyed the fly tying as much as I did the fishing. I've never tied a fly myself, but it looks fascinating. And who doesn't love a good dog for a fishing partner? Good girl, Clio!
Very nice! I'm not a fly fisherman, but I enjoyed this video. 👍🏼 (As a kayak fisherman, I'm still trying to figure out where you waders set your beer while casting and retrieving. 😉)
Nice video! You seem to fish your streamer always upstream it seems to work great. Do you have an explanation why bec I try it also but I struggle keeping up with the flow, sow I fish most down and across but I miss many takes is it related you think?
I'm a passionate angler myself, pike being my favourite. Since I started watching your videos, I've started to get into fly fishing. Is there any chance you could upload a basic beginner fly fishing lesson and recommend gear? Thanks a million.
Mad River Outfitters is a great channel to get the beginner info you need its got 14 episodes in its beginner fly fishing playlist just make sure its the modern 1 and not the 1999 playlist. ive learned pretty much everything i need to start from him.
It seems like you don't use a wire leader. Do you get bit off? Can you get away with wire leaders, or does that hinder fly casting or are river pike too wire shy to strike the fly?
I always use wire when targeting pike. When I'm fly fishing I use knot2kinky wire, very thin and flexible. If you look closely you can see it in some of the shots landing pike. My whole leader set up is also listed and linked in the description👍
I’ve literally been at your channel for I think over 2 years I’m also from Michigan (we have a farm in Emmit and Salmon swim up it to spawn and we catch them with our hands)
If your from around sudbury or lake huron bro we should meet up do some casting or I can show ya some of my techniques for walleye in my 16 ft with a 90 and a telling motor
Fished my whole life, but never tried fly fishing. This vid makes me wanna try it! Any suggestions on a beginner, all purpose fly rod an reel that's affordable?
Michigan Mike, you can find affordable rod, reel, line combos from Redington , Orvis, Cabelas or other major manufacturers. If you are looking for a general purpose combo for trout, panfish, small bass etc. you can use a 5 weight combo. For larger fish and bigger flies that are more wind resistant to cast like the fly demoed at the beginning of the video, then a 7 weight or 8 weight combo would be the better choice. I use Redington products myself and I have had excellent success with all their rods and reels.
If you aren't sure how much your gonna use it and don't wanna spend much, a 7/8wt 'bass' combo would probably work fine. I started with the orvis clearwater rods which are a little more expensive, but having a nicer rod and line makes casting a ton easier than what you'll get from a combo. Orvis has a 25 year warranty with their rods, and the more expensive line will stay good for 4+ years. Your reel is the one thing that is usually okay to cheap out on, since often times it's just holding the line.
Thanks! I normally try to show the materials to the camera, just didn't have the packaging for the bucktail or flashabou. I'll try to type in the video next time 👍
Awesome! I just got some trout streamers and was going to go fly fishing tomorrow but I found a boat trailer so I’m gonna buy that instead... do you ever get smallies on those pike flies?
Thanks! Browns on the fly would definitely be some fun. And smallies will absolutely crush these streamers as well. I usually use the two hooked versions though as they sometimes hit the back of these larger flies.
You’ve got phenomenal content bud-I’ve enjoyed watching your stuff since the start!
I'm glad you've stuck around! I appreciate the support

And who doesn't love a good dog for a fishing partner?
Good girl, Clio!
Man, great video! From tying the fly to a brutal eat next to your legs....damn 🔥🔥
Really enjoyed it 👍
Nice videos bro👍 I just got my new Orvis Clearwater and its a great rod 👍
Very nice!
I'm not a fly fisherman, but I enjoyed this video. 👍🏼
(As a kayak fisherman, I'm still trying to figure out where you waders set your beer while casting and retrieving. 😉)
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. That's one down side to wading I suppose, just gotta bring a bigger backpack 😂
What a fun day! AWESOME!! Love the fly tying.
Always great content especially from Michigan waters. 👍
Dude your the only fly fishing channel I enjoy watching. Keep it up.
Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoy the videos
Wow amazing tips and sequence on the fly tying! I'm a beginner so those sound perfect! I might try em out on salmon too. 🙌🔥
They're versatile flies for sure. Good luck out there!
Great video again. Love the fly tie part. Hope to see more creations in the future
I appreciate the feedback! More to come for sure
Nice fly and great strike. My heart pounding just watching. Great video!
Love your vids man! Do u think u could make a video on your tackle and lure collection?
Hey I live your pike videos there are my favorite and the fly fishing 🎣 and my question was what is your fly reel and rod thanks for the good content
Yo bro! been peeping the vids because im headed up to the upper peninsula of michigan for a weekend, where are you in michigan? great vids btw
Awesome pike fishing there bud
Hey love the vids! One question what are you using to quickly change your flies on the line? Is it a swivel or something ? Jw. Thanks !
Very Informative, Great Vid!
Nice video! You seem to fish your streamer always upstream it seems to work great. Do you have an explanation why bec I try it also but I struggle keeping up with the flow, sow I fish most down and across but I miss many takes is it related you think?

Nice video as always. Keep em coming.
Nice video again, your fly works good!
What fly materials and tools are you using?
dang... that bait
Shout out RYW. Love the hat!

@@peelindrag113 Thanks for replying. That makes total sense. I will pay closer attention to your video description next time.😁
What leader do you use on the fly rod when fishing for pike
Dude your content is amazing
Do you think you could substitute the Lazer Dub for Craft Fur? Really enjoy watching your stuff!
Yep that would work just fine 👍
I’ve literally been at your channel for I think over 2 years
I’m also from Michigan (we have a farm in Emmit and Salmon swim up it to spawn and we catch them with our hands)
I'm glad your still watching the vids! Michigan sure has some cool opportunities. Definitely wanna get more into the salmon run this fall
Catching salmon with your hands in michigan is illegal
If your from around sudbury or lake huron bro we should meet up do some casting or I can show ya some of my techniques for walleye in my 16 ft with a 90 and a telling motor
Sehr schön mega Filme!
Nice vid as always man! Love the hat!!
Nice video Josh 😼
Thanks Ben!
Nice fish!!!

👍🏻 good stuff man.
Thanks John!
I don’t know if you comment back often but I was wondering what part of Michigan you are from?
so awesome!
Wish you had more subs man you deserve it ill always give your vids a thumbs up👌

Thanks guys, I'll start checking out the stuff you mentioned 🤛
I know it'll be more work on your hand but can you put what the specific fly tying materials you used in vid? Great video as always bud
Thanks! I normally try to show the materials to the camera, just didn't have the packaging for the bucktail or flashabou. I'll try to type in the video next time 👍
The season reopens almost here (the Netherlands) so if you shipp the flyes today they will be here when the season opens again 😉
another good video bro, keep up the good work.
hey man you should try popper flyfishing for pike
I've made a few vids trying that, seems like I get less bites but it sure is fun. I'll give it a try again this summer for sure
Very nice video, my friend, I'm new to fly fishing, could you tell what gear you use to fish in this video? Thank you very much.
Thanks! All my gear is linked in the description
