Awesome selection!
Haven't seen you post any videos in a while. As far as I can tell this is your last one. Hope all is well and your just busy with life. I have over 120 subscriptions and yours is among the very top. Take care.
Solid selection, well thought out !
Great video. Always interesting to see what others like to use.
Yeah I love seeing what others do
Awesome video,my go to streamer is a # 12 Mega Prince or Mega Lord,nymph well can't forget the Millennium Prince # 14 or 12 & Biot Stone # 10 or 12,tight lines & bent rods 🤘
One I would definitely not be without is a PCP jig nymph. It just kills on my local water which is the same as yours. Another is the Duracell jig nymph. I’m with ya on your perdigon choice and I too would lean to olive for the streamer color on our particular river. Great video. It had to be difficult to just come up with 5.
Well done. Nice choices.
Thanks for watching
Great exercise!!! Here's my list: 1) crawdad zirdle bug, 2) spanish bullet perdigon with hot spot, 3) duracell jig, 4) adams, and 5) stimulator. I like your first pick of a streamer. The last several years, I've always tried on a streamer of some type with my euro setup to start the day with. The crawdad zirdle bug has got to be my top streamer since it represents a crawdad, bait fish, and even stoneflies.
Looks like an solid list to me :)
Olive wooly bugger, elk hair caddis, deer hair caddis, sexy waltz worm, hares ear. Very traditional but each tried and true and just flat out catch fish
They sure do :)
Like the pick of the vintage Rainier lid. Stay classy!
Haha
Awesome channel!
Thanks!
I've been fishing hard since may. I've heard people say over and over "its not the fly" but my experience and the data from others experiences tells me it certainly is the fly. I fished dozens of flies for hours upon hours on the Provo river. 1 fly outfished every other by more than 10 times. Red wire wrapped around a swimming larvae style hook with a ping band in the middle. The 2nd best fly was just a hook with grey squirrel fir tied on it and a red/orange hot spot by the 3.5mm bead. These 2 flies caught more fish than all the others combined and multiplied 10 fold. Naturally if I got skunked a for roughly 20-30 hours on a fly of various sizes I dropped it. Other flies such as pheasant tails only worked in sizes of 18 or smaller. and even then only caught 1 fish in 2 dozen hours.
The vast majority of the time it’s not the fly, but I’m not going to convince you of that 😂
That may have been depth. I think flies functionality is much more important than the pattern. Even if they prefer a pheasant tail, a heavier walts worm that actually gets to the fish is going to catch more. Presentation > size > pattern
I think you got it covered. The west coast of BC isn’t really known for dry fly fishing, so I might sub in a squirmy worm instead for your dry fly choice. I would easily rock your other 4 patterns in my local waters!
Squirmy sure does work :)
1. Nice monstera.
2. Saw a lot of nice books - which ones would you recommend for someone starting to tie? (Oregon)
Thanks man 👍🏻 I did a video awhile back on fly fishing books and I have a couple of recommendations in there
Forgot junk flies! But my streamer would be my slump buster variant and dry would have to be a morrish hopper and 2 nymphs would be France fly and a little mayfly pattern I tie! Junk flies would be eggstacy egg!
You should do a trip where you just take the 5 flies.. it would be beast!!!! Take multiples of each just in case but just 5 patterns..
Good idea 👍🏻
Hey bud. Weird question to ask publicly. My step son is graduating college in middle May. In Portland OR. You seem like you are out in the PNW. But could be 600mi from Portland. Just wondering if you knew any trout streams near Portland. I only found lakes. And lower Deshutes. I really don’t want to pay for a guide. Any help if any you can point me in would be appreciated.
Are these just for your waters or they work here in the east
They should work all over
Lol; how many desert isles have trout rivers!?
But great fly selection.
None lol
I would throw in a Zebra midge for sure.
My pick of top 5 flies that people just don't use ever is ants. I have no idea why people don't fish these. My only difference is I prefer the cubbard shelf ant I even add weight and fish it wet.
In Pennsylvania I would have to have a scud shrimp pattern.
My dude where are you?
How many patterns do you tend to bring with on a day on the river? Wide variety or fairly minimal? Asking as I’m building my own box which set out to be minimal but is already branching out a lot haha
Depends on which box you are talking about 😂 but I’ve simplified my nymph box down to 6 total patterns. I just have them in lots of sizes and weights
Hello do you have an email address like to ask you a question about flies
Yeah it should be in my bio
