Love the flies! I started tying these whitebass flies since 1996! I no longer live in WI, but still tie thousands a year for people. It’s amazing these flies have made it up into the dakotas and has proven to be very successful in the Dakotas all the way down to oklahoma.
I don't have any walleyes in my area (Southern NJ) but I think these flies should work great for my local largemouth bass and chain pickerel! They don't get really big, and the size and profile would probably be just about perfect!
I just had an opportunity to watch your video on fishing with flies. Thank you for giving such a great explanation on how, why, where, & when you use this technique. I’m Always looking for different way’s that are used in many other places that might not be as popular here. MATTHEW 4:18-21 🙏🦈 GOD BLESS and Good Fishing
Great video Noah!! A fly tying video would be awesome! I have a timeshare in the Dells first week of August. What technique would you recommend that time of year? Thanks
Love your videos, purchased a Fox River rod after watching your video. Rods great, but since breaking the tip I've had no replies to 3 messages/emails and no answer on the phone number I found. Also people should know that my rod came in a package labeled "Made in China" which was also disappointing.
Fly tying video would be good also other rigs for walleye I run a three way fly and minnow but maybe some other options do you do three way and plastics or what’s some other go to on the river
Question for you, I'm wanting to start using these flys though it's November 14th,. All the videos I see, people are fishing the flys in the spring, do they work as well in the fall?
Typical Wisconsin weather. 35 degree 1 month, 85 degree the next. Im relatively new to fly tying but its giving good results. but I do have some difficulties at my favorite new spot. So when the waters low, there is a small bay with ultra clear spring water flowing into the river. But its extremely shallow and the fish are very finicky. Partially because its a Shinner hatchery, and the crystal clear water. Do you have any ultra realistic fly patterns that may work for the finickiest of fish? Dropshotting seems to be the only way to cover it affectively, so they have all the time to stair at it. Very tricky spot to tackle, but there's every predator in the river in that little bay
I like your flies. I tie my own flies so it’s not a big deal about getting flies. Here’s the issue, I’m a fly fisherman. Do you have any suggestions are getting these flies down deep enough on fly fishing rigs? Thanks for the information on your video.
Do you think this would be a viable presentation on the Missouri River for different kinds of species? I'm interested in trying it for what ever will bite, but the current is relentless on my stretch.
Have a tried just a drop shot rig?? Seems it would be very similar. Now you have me thinking that I can do this in the Detroit river this spring. I was already going to drop shot minnows and then your video magically appeared 😂. Looks like a need to spend more time at the vice now!!! Thanks alot 😂😂. Nice video. Thanks for sharing 🎣🐟🎣🐟😃
YES! Dropshotting is my favorite late spring/summer walleye tactic and will totally work in the spring too. It does seem to work best in slack water, but there is some days it is lights out. th-cam.com/video/ymRBw5ppmWg/w-d-xo.html
We would call that fly a "streamer" I used to use them to catch crappies back 30 years ago I would use the back one with a brass bead head so it would sink more than the front one that was weightless. A lot of times I would catch two fish at one time. I caught a piranha in Denver using this rig for crappie. Just about every pond in that city had them in until it got too cold or they were eaten. Just curious but have you caught a few sheepshead yet lol.
love that you are doing things differently...I see early spring everyone jigging on top of each other up by Fort end of Kosh... If they don't see you jigging with two rods in your hand with a hairjig, they think you're weird like you said...definitely 3 way with a pencil sinker is awesome way...especially using the snap to change the weights...Nice stuff broski. I fish on Kosh, and do most my fishing there, but need to get on the Madison chain and learn...great info boss.
Thanks for sharing, big fan of flies and hair jigs. Question through, do you use this technique mostly on cloudy/stained rivers or clear river systems or does it work on both?
For it to be a jig, it would need to be tied on a jig. This is a regional technique using conventional gear (read the description and the title in full) that is very effective in rivers, particularly where an actual fly fishing presentation would be ineffective.

Verycool thanks for sharing. I've been tying for 2 years! longer for regular hairjigs. You are dialed in!
We use these flies for bottom bouncing for steelhead up here in Ontario
Looking forward to the fly tying video.
Same here
I would love to see your fly tying of walleye fly’s
I've never heard of using fly's for walleyes, and am intrigued with trying it this spring and summer.
I don't have any walleyes in my area (Southern NJ) but I think these flies should work great for my local largemouth bass and chain pickerel! They don't get really big, and the size and profile would probably be just about perfect!
Buck tail also adds flotation along with mono and light Aberdeen hooks
I’m in Montana and I definitely am going to try these flies. You do a nice job with your videos. I would really like to see a tying video 😊
Fly tying for walleye would be awesome, see if they work out here in the west!
What about there Mississippi? I fish the Mississippi alot and I plan to start doing this there.

Would love to see some shop talk videos on river smallmouth
Nice video, thank you for showing your technique!
Did you ever make the fly tying video?
Great vid buddy. How about putting a heavy jig + a plastic instead of a dead free weight? It may increase the chance of getting a big bite.
Absolutely! In fact, that is commonly referred to as a "Dubuque rig". Very effective!
Good stuff...I fish the big rivers in Michigan and have to try this next weekend.

I want to pull flies with you! I live in northern Illinois, and tie my own flies too. Glad I found you. Now to find you on facebook!
what if i don't have a boat? will a shorter 3 way work from shore?
one thats castable.??
Anyone experimented with flies other than bucktail such as zonkers, Marabou or feather streamers? How did it go?
Fly tying video would be good also other rigs for walleye I run a three way fly and minnow but maybe some other options do you do three way and plastics or what’s some other go to on the river

That's a nice (BIG) streamer fly box at the 4 min mark. What brand is that and where did you get it?
I like your flies. I tie my own flies so it’s not a big deal about getting flies. Here’s the issue, I’m a fly fisherman. Do you have any suggestions are getting these flies down deep enough on fly fishing rigs? Thanks for the information on your video.
Definately interested in how you tie your fly neutrally buoyant fly. I want to use this fly fishing.
That's cool man, might have to give it a try!

Would this work for inland lakes in the spring
Does the fly ride hook up or hook down?
Nice video Noah you do nice work my friend
Great video, thank you for sharing with us!!!!!!!!

@@MadisonAngling 👍👍. Thanks for the link. Tight lines 🎣
Great Video. Would like to see a shop talk on crappie on madison chain.
Great info as always.

Just curious but have you caught a few sheepshead yet lol.
At about the 2:50 mark the boat that went by really slow was me and a buddy im surprised you couldn’t hear me say holy sh*t that’s Madison angling
Wonder if they might work for ice fishing
Fly and a minnow is killer to
Great video.
Thx

Fly tying video please! 😉

Clear is better
Good video
Hey I know that spot! Good video. I need to try that out!
I fly fish for walleye, but actually fly fish, with a fly rod. How is this not just spin fishing with a small bucktail jig?
For it to be a jig, it would need to be tied on a jig. This is a regional technique using conventional gear (read the description and the title in full) that is very effective in rivers, particularly where an actual fly fishing presentation would be ineffective.
you are a nice guy love funny thanks
Bucktail material?
Dyed deer hair or dyed squirrel tail hair. I'm pretty sure.
Like I told you today at the show, I gave up fly fishing because I couldn't find a hook small enough to fit in their mouths.
P.S. I wish I had seen this video earlier because I'd have told you about some modifications to your 3 way rig.
A sparsely tied #32 Adams will land all the horseflies and deer flies you want, but when the no-see-ums are out I quit fly fishing.
@canadiangemstones7636 🤣🤣 Yeah, the no see'ums can be brutal.
