If you get a spammy message about winning something, it’s not from me.
I figured that when I got it :-)
@@andrewchapman2491 Don't know him, but I have seen guides loose fish for their paying anglers.. That way they might be able to go catch it them selves later.. Should be drowned though..
Wait, you’re not the Nigerian Prince?
I like the huger fly fisherman offering me spam more than you. He is huger and cooler.
I didn't think I would be called out in this one, and then you hit me with the third year guy. 100% accurate.
same here. lol
Same
everyone who fly fishes was once a "third-year guy", no shame; that's how numbers work, 1,2,3, etc. Not 1,4,5, etc. It's called higher math, taught in kindergarten, I think. That's where Ben learned it, a few years ago, right? :D LOL
Yep.that’s me!
yyyuuup
Tim Flagler does in fact fish, but no where near as much as he would like. He also is a guide. There is yet another stereotype that should have been included and that's "Hank Patterson guy". I don't think any explanation is needed. Sorry dude, turnabout is fair play. Great video!
I was waiting for the "former fly fishing guide turned you tube poster." :)
Great video! I was lucky enough to be taught fly fishing by a real deal guy, who still schools me everytime I fish with him.
How could you forget the “trout bum” he has the lowest quality gear(hand me downs), waders with holes, sleeps in the back of his ‘02 4 runner, fishes beat up flies but sticks the biggest fish & knows all the best spots
I second that
That's a future real deal guy
That's me. All of my gear is falling apart and I love it!
Yes, all that but he also does tai chi in the morning to get "centered", to be one with the fish spirit! Also eats arugula and kale sandwiches, not chicken, and never ever drinks beer, ...well, maybe I have one a week!! :D LOL
Because the trout bum has actually put in real time and is respected. Aspire to be the trout bum.
The beer drinker guy: spends all day picking what fly gear to use. Gets to his spot. fishes for 2 minutes and drinks beer the rest of the evening staring at the water
I called that guy “grandpa”.
The “count fish with their clicker” is so good omg
Funny as always Ben. Confession: I’m the gear guy. Also, I can’t believe you didn’t take a stab at Tenkara guy!
Because it’s not fly fishing
Yes it is! Now I’m offended.
@@adamw8469 it’s tenkara fishing, not fly fishing. No fly line is used
@@pricebrothersinventions4121 ah, but the fly is at the end of the line.
@@adamw8469 I can put a fly on a spin fishing rod and it’s the same.
I'm Bonefish Guy. I tie bonefish flies all winter even though I live in Maine and spend 99% of my time fishing for stripers and trout. I join Bonefish & Tarpon Trust even though my income is nowhere near the median $5 mil/year of the average member of that group. I have a recurring dream where I'm on vacation in the Bahamas for a week with my wife and friends and get to Thursday and realize I haven't gone fishing yet. And I can't find my gear. I also watch 30 year-old bonefish episodes of Spanish Fly and Walker's Cay Chronicles.
You forgot the “private water only “ guy. They only post monster stockers and claim that “it’s from public waters” even though we all know he’s in The Soque or some other private water
Good point, although that may nicely fit into "Instagram guy" 🤣
I think that's the Destination Guy. You just explained another element of them that Ben didn't get to. In PA, the Spruce Creek and Yellow creek club water guys come a lot from Philly and DC. DC is Central PA's Houston with Richard the Oil Guys.
Yellow Creek T.C. is a half step beyond walking distance from my house and I'll never be able to afford to fish it. I can still catch the monsters that that leave the premises, though... 😉
Bryan Glass.
…Is that the same guy who shows you a Huge fish and then won’t tell you where he caught it?
Don’t forget the “wanna be fly fishing guide”. He’s been fishing for years, tying his own (crappy) flies, and likes to take his bros to some of his favorite spots while enjoying watching them catch fish on his flies. Oh, and the “I use a fly pole for everything guy”. Easy target! Keep these fun videos coming.
Yeah, hearing the words "fly pole"; like fingernails on a chalk board, screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!!! :D
“The bug guy” may cast three or four times then spends the rest of their time collecting bugs and looking at plants and knows all the Latin names
Yes, the "scientist". I can relate as I was a scientist, for my job, now retired; but I still do like the Latin names, although, usually, I'm looking up in the air, and not down into the water!! :D
I'm the "get off my lawn" guy. I don't want to see anyone else around me. Or maybe that's just a subset of the "real deal" guy. Best video of the year, Ben!
Haha same I don’t even like fishing with friends I just like that time to myself.
I’m with ya. I don’t fish near anyone, because I would hate it if they did it to me.
Haha I’m the same way. I don’t know why so many pile up to fish the same waters.
@@dadeking5472 Yup, good way to lose friends; he catches ten you zip, or the reverse will do it. "What did you catch them on?" "Oh, a nymph, ......or something"! :D
@@ronschlorff7089 Haha it's funny you say that because that confirms my thoughts on a lot of fisherman. I think fishing competitively is really stupid, and that's all it's ever been with every "fisherman" I've ever fished with. I go out to the water to fish because it's something fun to do while I'm there, but ultimately I just want to be there. I love being by the water in beautiful places. I like the alone time and relaxation. I go out with every intention to catch fish and it is more fun when I do, but if I don't, at least I got to be there. That's one thing I just really don't like about fishing culture. I get why it's like that, most hobbies can turn competitive but I just don't consider part of that world. This isn't directed at you personally at all and I have nothing against the way anyone likes to do it, it's just not for me.
I enjoy fishing the smaller streams cause it's easier and the scenery tends to be really pretty but I'm not specific to one style of fly fishing I use whatever works and go where I have a good shot at some decent fish and I always bring an ultralight spinning rod just in case the fly fishing doesn't work out. I find funny how people get so snobby about using indicators or nymphing or using more than one fly. Like who cares as long as you're tricking fish into a bite and enjoying a day out on the water that's all that matters
Ive been fly fishin about 3 years and have bumped into most of these stereotypes. In my experience u nailed it with ur descriptions. Im probably a mix of three year and gear guy. Three year gear guy i guess. The only addition i would add is fly shop guy. The guy who wears simms shirts everyday and goes to the shop to talk fishing but only fishes twice a year while living on the yellowstone. Anyway great vid. U always make me laugh.
Permit guy 100% on point. Permit guy weighs his flies on a weed scale and labels them in his fly box that he never shows anyone. Around here we also have "micro Tarpon guy" who doesnt fish the big migration because thats too mainstream and prefers getting chewed on by prehistoric mosquitos fishing out of a gheenoe in a mud puddle somewhere.
In Missouri you have to add “Trout Park Guy”. Only fishes the trout parks 3 feet from other fishermen, will walk right up to you and start fishing your home and the idea of buying a trout stamp is terrifying.
From my wife...fishing wife/girlfriend, we have been fishing so much, with one of these people you described; we now hold our own, fish what works (but hate streamers because it makes our arms hurt), guide/captain the boat, and typically catch more fish. Props if you are married to gear guy because we know he always has what we don't.
As a blue line guy
You nailed it 100% the location, the sterotypes were painfully accurate
can confirm
here in VA too
I'm a blue line lifer & proud of it😊
You had me at, "I'm comin' for ya." Knew a guy that only fished a mouse pattern the entire season....wanted the big one. Days and days he got skunked. But.....pay day. On the Madison in Montana. Stereotype? Size mattters.
There's also a complaint box for Ben - It's at the top of a 100' pine tree about halfway down the Yellowstone, you may want to bring a ladder. Even after watching the unedited version on Special, this is still great. Nice job sir, you continue to crack us up 🤣🤣
I just bought an old bamboo rod from an old lady, I told her I was new to it, only my third year fishing but that this year felt I was really hooked. I get my gear from garage sales, fishing the first two years was just to hang out with the buddies. This year Im for real buy but I am lost, i feel Im out looking for the skinny blue lines in the map using archaic gear, I live near the mountains in colorado.
My biggest problem with this video is I can't decide where I land in this stereotype list. Definitely not the spey or permit guy and don't have the money for destination guy.
Well done Ben from a Euro Geek…
If people really are getting on you for your videos, that’s sad… We all need to laugh at ourselves now and then. Oh ya, I also use tippet rings. 😍
100% absolutely the most informative and most entertaining fly fishing personality out there! Great video Ben (I might be two or three of these.... :/)
Don’t forget full immersion guy. Wants to master all aspects of the sport. Becomes a good photographer, caster, fly tier, oarsman, and cook. Fishes all the water columns with alacrity. No species eludes him. Names his kids and dogs after rivers or rod manufactures. Has wet dreams about tarpon or steelhead grabs. Has the right clothing and accessories, but doesn’t acknowledge it. Acts as a guide when taking friends out, but only he knows how much he’s doing for them. Maybe writes a little and buys angling art. Learns all he needs to know about boats and motors of all kinds. Knows he’s good but realizes arrogance is worse karma than bananas on a boat. Loves to fish with others, but is happiest fishing alone, because he can do it his way. Secretly believes that he is just as capable as the pros and hotshots, but possesses just enough humility to keep that to himself. And finally, the bucket he keeps his list in is never quite empty. He’s gotta have something to strive for.
You forgot the lazy floater guy. He fishes from a boat/raft so he can spend most of his time drinking beer and eating chicken. He uses a bobber cause it is so easy, and he doesn’t have a lot of skill to fish like a real fisherman.
Lmao gotteem
You've been on a roll recently man. Videos have been super fun and it looks like you've been having fun with them too.
I knew a real deal guy in the mountains, he was missing most the fingers on his left hand, folded up his 40 year old rod with the line still on it and could unfold it in a snap, and he could absolutely destroy those mountain streams.
I must admit to being the Dry Fly Guy... Far from a purest but will walk a mile for a rising fish before changing over to nymphs or streamers ...We love your videos... Always finding humor in Fly Fishing... Thank You
I asked a well known tournament bass fisherman in Florida what he thought about fly fishing, he said, "I would be a fly fisherman if it weren't for fly fisherman" 🤣🤣
I suppose the reverse could be true!! LOL
@@ronschlorff7089 Very true, since bass fisherman are a bunch of archaic cavemen that don't know how to handle fish properly, according to fly guys.
@@bottomlinebassin2001 Yeah, I suppose they are not All Neanderthals!! ;D LOL
We've all been one or more of these.
I'm a certified Fly Bum.
Fly Bum;
* Fishes for any and all species as long as they are fly fishing.
* Will sleep anywhere and eat questionable food as long as they get to fish.
* Will take/teach ANYONE willing fishing with them, fellow bum or noob...especially if they go in on gas.
* Uses solid tested gear that's not the best, most expensive or newest, just gear that works and is tough.
* Ties and buys their own.
* Reads Gierach and SCOF.
Now THAT was a classic, Ben! Well done.
Great stuff!! I’ve been fly fishing long enough to realize exactly what I want and what tactics to employ for the most enjoyment. BTW, my longtime fishing buddy-who is FAR from a streamer junky-used a trout Spey AND a streamer yesterday on the Deschutes river in OR and hooked 33 fish while the dry purists and euro nymphers didn’t hook half that number. And no-he wasn’t using a clicker! 🤣
Half that number is way better than my best on Carson R., CA. I scratched numbers down with a stick on the sandy shore to keep count!! :D
You forgot the grizzled veteran who says, "I remember what is was like before that book "A River Runs Through it!"" I'll take the fifth if that is me. 🤣
Great video, great channel btw!
Love it! Pretty sure I'm at least 3 of these guys. Little less extreme, but an embarrassing amount of several 🤣🤣🤣
In it for the clothes guy: He and his buddy/admirer have all coordinated Orvis and Eddy Bauer outfits. At the stream spends more time talking about fishing fashion and esthetics than fishing. Also joined a Harley rider's club that invades local bars on the weekend. Everyone drinks bad beer outside in order to display and admire each other's leather. Live in Park City Utah.
Wow this was so awesome and so Dead on. How about a video on the old guy, we can’t see for crap and we can’t walk the water without a big stick in our hand and we have to pee all the time. I am 67 and I have to laugh and make fun of myself all the time.
I'm in that club, too. Also a member of the Johnny Appleseed/Christmas Tree club in good standing. I've left flies hanging in bushes all over the world. (ALWAYS the flies I JUST tied/bought).
Had a friend I called Mr Orvis. He had it all. When he met me, I rarely use tippet smaller than 3x. He was shocked. Oh ya, he had small flies. You forgot small fly guys.
small fly guy is definitely one
I'm small fly guy lol I think my biggest non streamer is a 16
@@loganrutherford2426 when you get a little older that will change. Used to be all about that, now I can’t see very well. LOL
@@67cruizer yes, cruel irony when you finally get all the time you need to fish, retired, then you can't see worth a damn. Oh well still Fun.
Think you nailed it! Fun to watch as usual, I didn’t know we had subspecies’s as fly fisherman!
Best one yet! In 40+ years I've known or been some of these guys. Thanks.
This description of different fly anglers was spot on, loved it!!! I never even realized it until this video. As for me, I am the dry fly guy. (No regrets.) It’s a downward spiral that at its whole is a curse. I’m an addict, don’t judge. I know what I am. 💯 Another note, I prefer good ol Tin Cup whiskey while I’m on the water. Indeed.
I can relate to the "Permit guy", having caught a few by spending day after day of no fish, it can become a quest. They are the only fish that leads me to drink beer before the sun comes up to steady my nerves on the off chance I will see some tailing or pushing on the flats.
Oh man! Laughed through the whole thing. Thank you. Stay Huge.
Nailed the Instagram guy, loved the "teak kettle, parrot" - thumb and/or index finger ring for bonus points... Love the ones that blur the background of their photos.
Funny! I am a 72 year old Blue Line Guy fishing vintage glass who is just waiting for my inevitable near-fatal fall. Your Gear Guy sounds pretty close to those I refer to a Doctor Orvis. Enjoyed this a lot!
You forgot “fish guide guy”. Brags all the time about how many days he spends on the water, but that’s watching other people fish. Only went actual fishing twice last year. Always has to take his clients rod for a spin to prove how far he can cast. Will have a knot come untied on the biggest fish but blame it on something else. Livin the dream!
Pretty sure I’m gear guy btw.
I got several really😂great laughs today….thank you for sharing….. been fly fishing since 1997 and did 10 plus years of teaching fly casting (2007 - 2020)….seen all these stereotypes but you nailed them so good!😊
How did I miss you on the internet until now!!?? Awesome video. I know this vid took a lot of work, but it was fabulous!! Well done!
Oh man! You nailed me with 3rd year guy!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well done! That one was really funny!
I’m the Zen guy. Out for the life experience. Being one with nature.
That’s so me at times. Just happen to be on the water guy.
Fishing on a stream in se Minnesota. 2 guys upstream about 150 yds away. One catches a trout and loud enough for me to hear, says "thanks for the fun Mr. Trout". Barf!
Big is not always better, so I fit the "blue line guy" stereotype, where finding good holes to fish is also an adventure. Yes, catching a 12-incher is a rare thing, but when you do hook and land one on a 3-wt. rod it is fun.
You missed one. The "been fishing my whole life" Rod and Reel guy that picked up fly fishing and thought it was gonna be a walk in the park, but quickly learned it was more like learning to walk all over again.
One more stereotype: Lifer Dude has been fishing since they were 4 years old and just wants to fish; he might not have the best cast, best gear, and doesn't know what fly he is using, but it catches fish and doesn't care, just wants to fish.
In Missouri we have a large population of Roll Cast Guys. For them, getting a perfect drift along the far bank is the goal, requiring at least three or more consecutive roll casts and passing over plenty of fishy water in the process.
I learned several things today. Been fly fishing for 52 years.
Yes, me too, it's a constant learning curve, that seems to get steeper each year that you do it. Young guys, if you suck at fly fishing now; you always will, but it will still be fun! :D
And he’s back! I love it. Thank ya Ben!
I was watching this thinking, aw man I feel like I'm in between all of these stereotypes. And then third year guy came out... got me! Not sure which path I will take, but I can certainly weigh the options now!
yeah same here. I am in between streamer junky, spey guy, and dry fly guy. if its up to me, ill stay right where I am and just use the different techniques when it seems to fit the most.
You missed me completely, im the Trainwreck Flyfishing Fool. 20 year old equipment, silicon patches over patches all over my decrepit waders, target various species in my warm water river. A few books about bugs, tying flies and one book about the philosophy of fishing. I don't know anybody that fly fishes around here so I'm always trying stuff I read about online and some of it even works! Never fished in a cold water stream except when my warm water river has ice on it, never caught a trout on a fly but have targeted Carp with mulberry imitation flies. Mostly I catch Smallies, Carp and Northerns as they are predominant species here in Midwest. I don't make sandwiches, I carry Snickers candy bars as fuel bars, strap on a frozen CamelBak. I only have one soft fly wallet jammed with a few bent feather poppers, sliders, streamers, indicators and nymphs and carry one spool of heavy tiplet. I love to sit and watch the hatch instead of fishing it, I pick up other "fisherman's" trash, and swear at them a lot on Mondays after the weekend warriors from Chicago trash the river. All in all I'm a Trainwreck Flyfishing Fool. Feel free to use my category as needed, I'm sure there are other guys like me I just don't know any.
As a flyfisherman in scotland we have the salmon snobs 😅
Glad I’m into my 4th year of fly fishing now, last year was tough 😂
Yes, it gets tougher now, your expectations are high, and you might even say to yourself: "I got this!! :D
You forgot about the weekend family vacation campground guy rents a camp site aka RV parking space beside a trout stream sees people fly fishing goes a spends a couple G to get to it and pisses off every other fly fisherman in his sight by crawling in their fishing hole
Best video you have ever done !!! If you could keep this rolling sky the limit !!!
You forgot about me. Im the guy who uses & dresses strait outa fly movies. A mixture of flannels & plaids, tan trousers w/ suspenders, the Indy Jones fedora, & of course, the wicker creel! We are somewhat related to Gear Guy (and yes, i have a line straitener- my finger skin splits easily so sue me!) Ps- love the channel!🤠
Just encountered this one yesterday: The I’m a middle aged rich white guy from LA who fly fishes twice a year on Hot Creek and thinks it’s his home turf and glares at you while you leap frog him upstream. As if his $5k worth of gear guarantees him fish and exclusive access to a public stream.
Also, as an add on to the dry fly pureist: I will fish a dry fly even if the wind is blowing 40 in your face.
Also: I wear full chest waders and all my best gear when the creek is 20 ft wide and 4” deep. Like, did you even get your tootsies wet bro? WTF?
I’m a fly fishing schizophrenic. I pretty much roll through all your stereotypes. Except the permit guy. Being from Oklahoma I find it difficult to fly over perfectly fine fly fishing water to stand and cuss in saltwater.
yup, that's "big-league" stuff, for me; nice to watch vids of it though, plus wearing those funny looking clothes, would not work for me! :D
Good morning Ben☕️☕️
You tagged me a couple of times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am in WNC with by Daughter, Son n law and granddaughter. And yes I am getting way to old to blue line. And yes I am a gear junkie, I got my first spool of Trout Hunter tippet 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We fished the SOHO yesterday and we caught “0” that was not huge of us. He has a a raft and he is nice enough to take me with him. Anyway back to North Ga. And the Soque 🤣🤣🤣 I have never fished it and don’t know if I could now! Stay huge keep it up I enjoy your content 👍👍
Blue Line guy here. God Bless the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Yes I'm older than the Blue Line Guy demographic, and yes my knees are sore the next day, but it's totally worth it.
Couple of other things:
You forgot about "stocker/delayed harvest guy" which is what Blue Line guy does in the winter months. Instagram guy also digs on the stockers - but doesn't realize that everybody sees the worn down fins on that bloated washed out rainbow.
And Tim Flagler showed up on a "New Fly Fisher" video 2 days ago where he went smallie fishing in Canada...casted a lot and even caught fish. Of course he had to tie a fly at the end.
These are great! So accurate!😂😂 You hit everyone!
lmao, i love this. i think i’ve been everyone of these guys except instagram guy, i’m too old for that
I am definitely Gear Guy.
Many years ago when I caught my first fish.
My Dad said it must have been the most expensive fish ever caught.
But you know what?
I don't care. I love going to tackle shops and looking at gear and buying.
It makes me happy.
I was laughing on the first sentence..”I’m comin for ya.” I’m a mixture of most you mentioned..but Not euro-nymphing, there’s better ways for largemouth.😂 Thanks Ben! Have a great and Huge Memorial Day. God bless those that gave all and God bless America ✌️🇺🇸
I’m the type of fly fisherman who spends several hours trying to match a specific insect in a pond near his house just to catch a bluegill.
The secret no one talks about: they’ll eat a rubber band with a hook in it.
@@Thespanglerangler or just a hook
New guy who knows that he sucks at fly fishing: Fishes solo, might be spotted briefly, but disappears into the brush when other fly fishermen, who know what they are doing, show up. I know this guy! 😆😆😆
I enjoyed listening to the video. In 60 years of fishing I probably been all of the but the last decade before my vision went, I was notellum guy. Anyway keep it up. Enjoy while you can!
That's casting to the ripple! I guess my style is mostly blue line, but also use a pack canoe on beaver ponds if they're big enough.
Yeah that's part of blue lining
The tailgate guy, always setting his rod up lingering in the access lot. Always looking for a conversation
You forgot about the “warm water only” guy. He fishes for bass, carp, panfish and catfish. He doesn’t own a pair of waders because the rivers he fishes aren’t cold enough to justify the cost. He grew up throwing rubber worms at bass and started fly fishing because he was bored. He hates fishing for trout, mostly because he doesn’t know how.
This is the best one yet! I'm fn dying 🤣
You gave me a good laugh today. Thank you!
Funny Stuff! Thank you! In my 60 years of flyfishing I've been all those guys and more. I've even been "Tenkara Guy".......for about a week. I was lucky to sell that crap for half what I paid for it. Done with Eastern mystery! Anyway, I'm still looking to be several more fly fishing stereotypes before I'm done. At my age I've definitely become "Wading Staff Guy"!
yes, me too, (about 47 yrs.) but I'll give it up when I need a walker out there! I'm becoming more the fly-tying guy lately, I tell my wife: "It's an art form, I'm sculpting little aquatic insects, see!" ;D
Very good. “Cool loafer’s tho” 😂. What guy are you?
Haha! Not Butthurt! Great video! Too funny ! Try the tippet rings, Real Deal Guy!
This is Willie, and I’ve forgot more about fishing than you know.
Hey just came across your channel.. funny as hell and I love it. Does indicator fly guys fall under ero nymphing. I thought myself on New England waters with no indicators so I think indicators are lame. That’s just me.
So good man. Either been there or know someone 🤣
Don’t forget the NW guys who look down their noses at gear guys, while they’re flipping beads, with a 3” gap, and an “indicator”.
Not a fly fisherman, old lake troller kinda’ guy, but really enjoy your videos. You’re both HUGE and REEL. I’ll see myself out. 😊
Saw an older post of yours about a fishing app that can tell you where the private property on a river starts and stops. Can you give a recommendation on an app? Thanks
Great video again Ben, love it
There's always photo guy who has to get a picture of every 10" trout he ever caught, aka "the cork biter". Stay huge, great vid.
great video, I loved it. Humor is good. It also helps keep us humble and trying not to put ourselves on a pedestal.
100% accurate I am definitely a “Blue line Guy”. Well played sir, stay Huge man!
Hilarious! I have a lot of respect for you. Keeping it real. No bs!
Love your vids! Very funny and entertaining!
So funny, Huge. I think I've been third year guy for the last twenty-five years...aspiring to be real deal guy. Thanks for the laughs...-Kor
Hashtag Crest Toothpaste …. good one 😂
Great Video! Keep them coming 🙂
Super cool video bro. Very entertaining!
Great video. I'm a bit of most of these guys...and I have a leader straighter on my vest. It cost $2 thirty years ago and it takes the memory out of my leader in two seconds and better than your shirt or your fingers or whatever you use. Sue me and stay huge!
great and funny content mate! greetings from Croatia
