I don’t know why but the “tight lines” bothers me too. Sounds manufactured. Been fly fishing since I was a kid never heard it it until I was in my fifties. I thought it might have been a secret society sign and the guy was waiting for a countersign. How about, good luck, or have a good day out there or enjoy your day or just “good fishing!” Nice vid. Thanks
I hear "Let's go" and I turn the video off. "Tight lines" is a close second for me.
Its been really overused and sounds corny
@@jeramyh9344 followed by people saying "fish on" not relating to a hook set
@@jeramyh9344 Let's go is the most annoying thing and it is starting to leak into my country. I can't stand it. Also "dudeeeeeee" makes me want to leave the planet. And yeah Tight lines sounds so pretentious.
I caught some piggy brownies on the fly using some of my meaty hand tied flys. Tight lines!
I flossed a lunker cutty on the fly with hand tied flys while high holing with an LDR at the end.
sounds good, but what fly pole were you using? ;D
@@ronschlorff7089 Tenkara :D
Informative as well as entertaining. Thank you so much! I'm glad I found your channel and will start fly fishing this week. My fly rod combo should be here tomorrow!
"Mission". Please just stop - you're not on a "mission" going climbing or fishing or skiing or biking. In your Taco.
This is a year late but this is an L take. Everything is a mission if you’re focusing on it.
“HUGE” Is the “GARAND THUMB” of fly fishing world especially the comments section!
6:28 Not a fan of flossing, but as an AK guide sometimes there’s no other option. Sockeyes show up between king and silver season, so there’s a span of a few weeks when they’re the only fish around besides pinks and everybody hates those. Sockeye don’t feed in fresh water period, so flossing them is the only option. If you book a trip between kings and silvers it’s not your guide’s fault if that’s what you end up doing. Do your research and book a trip later in the season.
You missed my favorite, “short finned grayling “ ( Whitefish ) Thanks , I can’t wait until spring to hear how they tight lined a Hugh hog on a hand tied fly on a 12’ 0 wt tenkara rod :-)
I detest “tight lines”. I also detest “disrespectful to the fish”. Unless you’re asserting dominance by placing a boot on its neck as you declare victory, there’s not much more you can do to disrespect the fish than what you’ve already done. The fish isnt aware of the moral/ethical cats cradle we’re navigating. All it knows is it was minding its own business when it got hooked and unceremoniously hauled from the water.
How are you here and in Patagonia at the same time? #magic
“Technical” is worse than tactical. Everyone time someone tells me “it’s really technical water” I always ask what does that mean, or just tell them that must mean they can’t catch fish so they claim the water is “technical”
To be fair... a LOT of people assume that fly fishing is only for trout.
You should do a couple of videos on Fly Fishing SLANG & TERMINOLOGY
On the swing counts though, right?
Edit: The only thing that should be calling bull trout, bullies, are small fish
I suppose you could call a bull trout a "Bovine", and the fly you catch them on a "wooly bully" after the old rock and roll song!! :D
If you're trying to catch sockeyes in freshwater and you're not flossing, good luck. If you actually do catch one not flossing that's just dumb luck. Sockeye like most salmon stop feeding when they hit the fresh.
P.S. I say cutties because this guy tells me not to.
100%
Why fish spawning sockeyes in the first place?
If you let all the sockeyes spawn, in 3yrs the amount of fish returning to the rivers would be in the millions. That amount of fish all trying to spawn in the same place would be disastrous. Fish and Game in AK does a pretty good job of estimating runs and establishing limits for both commercial and public fisheries.
@@fishfoolishness4222 there are plenty of ways to manage a fishery. If you're suggesting that sport flossing sockeye with fly gear is an effective way of managing return numbers and this is why sport fisherman do it.... Im not sure i can get on board with that explanation. Thank you for the response though.
Tactical, you killed me with that one!! Thanks for making my day!
Yup, "Orvis'd up" is another duded-up creep! They dry-clean their fishing duds! LOL ;D
DAPPING.
This is something new to me since I have been spending time in Ireland over the past several years. Currently I live on the Texas coast and fly fish the bays and occasionally go offshore. Beside saltwater fly fishing I do get out occassionly to fish freshwaters around the States ( ie. Yellowstone, Black Hills ,Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, North Carolina, and of course Texas). My new neighbor on Lough Mask, Eddie, has been fishing Lough Mask since he was a child ( he turned 80 this past summer). He grew up making money as a gilley which is the term for a fishing guide. He has a ton of interesting stories to tell and I am trying my best to learn from him.
They do things differently over there from the techniques I have been previously exposed to. Their dapping rods are longer than our typical fly rods and they go out in the morning to collect live mayflies to use instead of artifically tied ones.
I thought it might make an interesting topic for one of your podcasts.
This just may be my favorite Huge video!
Omg 😂 the picture of Jordan flossing vs snagging 😭😭😭 you love poking us pnw guys.
Yes!!! Hand tied flies! I have complained about that for years! Thank you.
don' t you mean flys? 😆+
Yup, like the marquee at the "Gentleman's" strip club that says: "Live Girls". Think about that for a second! ;D LOL
Very entertaining. You did miss one that irritates the daylight out om me. Calling a brown trout a "brownie" is one of the dumbest things I hear. A brownie is a baked item made with chocolate, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and, I believe, baking soda. A "brownie is NOT a fish.
Bullies lol we call them bulls in Canada, and we have lots of them. Cutts, not cutties, and we also have lots of them also.
and char which are brook trout or brookies or "speckled trout" in the far and furry North,..eh? LOL ;D
@Ron Schlorff no I'm from Alberta we don't call then specks here and we don't have many of them
@Ron Schlorff mostly specks are in Ontario and Quebec and they don't have bulls or Cutts there.
@@evanhammond7305 right, you must be out west. I was from Manitoba, and they called them speckled trout. Also, walleyes were Pickeral. :D
@@evanhammond7305 I understand!
I have a “friend” that calls brown trout “butter” and bass tournaments “derbies”. Don’t do that either.
I’m not sure if it’s just a Florida thing, but another term for a large fish is adding “gator” as a prefix. Gator trout, gator bass, gator red, and so on.
I've only ever heard Gator Trout. The big ones get large fangs on them, hence the name. Otherwise, its "Big ol bass, bull red etc." for me.
@@RSdd11 yup, and i suppose, for Ben's favorite thing, naming the fish, the names "Junior" (little ones) and "Bubba" (big ones) come up a lot in the conversation!! LOL ;D
after missing the hookset multiple times my guide told me to try and break his rod and hook set 12 times....hahahahah
"Not a real fly fisherman." That one bugs me. " You fish for bass, carp, pike, walleye. You're not a real fly fisherman." You use sinking line, sink tip, lead. You're not a real fly fisherman." Bite me. I fly fish, I also spin fish, troll, ice fish I've even been known to spear and noodle fish. Saturday I was icing slabs (crappie) with an ice fly (tungsten jig).
yes, on all that, but we all agree that Tenkara is not "real" fly fishing, right Ben! ;D
I see I'm not welcome here 😆
Had a guide lo-hole me with his female client. I got petty and returned the favor.
danger danger alert, the words "lo-hole" and "female client" in the very same sentence!! ;D LOL
Let’s go ! Ben has laid down the gospel. Take the rocket launcher off your taco , ditch your meat flys and quit worrying about catching toads . Keep your line’s tight and maybe you’ll catch that butter . Hey don’t be a hater just keep it reel ! 😁
"let's go" "dudeeee" "tight lines" "fish on" "that's a nice fish" "nice fish" "beautiful fish" "good fish" - these all really annoy me especially if an American is saying it.
Utah guys are soooo tactical bro! So steez when you’re nymphing the Provo and that 3.69420 mm bead hits a trout in the jaw. 😎
normal dress for them, to go to weddings, funerals, etc. like that! ;D
lol, Ben I don't know who you fish with or where you heard those terms but I only knew about 2%.
Plus, Coors Light, seriously man! :)
Love the video's though, keep them coming.
Their are so many people who say flys wear they actually mean flies. It’s up to us weather we point it out or not.
I can't wait to go fishing with my flys and catch a bunch of buttery brownies and cutties. (triggered, yet? lol)
Oh... you bagged on Jordan with ADX... we can't be friends anymore. Do you call bead fishing, flossing?
This from a guy who ‘spanks’ trout.😂 But seriously, I caught some nice ‘throats’ in Idaho this year and some ‘booger’ redfish in the delta, but ‘farmed off’ some Bulls. Not to mention some ‘slab’ crappie and ‘magnum’ spotted bass. But more seriously, my favorite is when guys tell me they caught a bunch of ‘native’ brown trout. Impossible and pretentious!🤦
I bet Ben has not done a "Dollar Store Lure Challenge" and I probably won't have to look at his 200 older videos to know. It would be a pretty good challenge for Ben, but he will crush it, along with a few PBRs, or Coors.
that's for "bait" fishers, they often have Velveeta on sale there, 2 for one! ;D
‘On fly’ or ‘On the fly’ needs to be used when searching internet for species specific information or videos. “Tight lines” makes me cringe always as does yelling “FISH ON!”…thanks for that information. Thought you may have caught something other than a fish, in the water, with fishing equipment.
Flossing in Alaska is done when fishing for fresh (as in silver-colored) sockeye salmon. As these fish don't strike anything on their way upstream, that is the only way to catch them. All guides on the Kenai River teach their clients how to floss when fishing for sockeye. However, when fishing for coho salmon, we do not floss because they will strike. When fishing for trout, no fisherman would dream of flossing. All that said, if you want to come up here in the summer and show us how to catch "Reds" without flossing, I will be your willing student. Great videos by the way!
Ah, puck you!! LOL I use pucks lined with foam to hold pre-tied rigs so when you break off, your fishing again quickly.
The most controversial statement flew way under the radar, "steelhead come from the ocean." Glad to see you fall on the right side of that debate :)
yes, and the "half-pounders" that weigh in at 4 to 6 pounds!! Like on the Klamath river in NW CA.
Maybe you do get a lot of your video ideas from us, but I did not tell you to start naming the fish, that's just lame. No one really does that, or should, unless you use their scientific names, or maybe name any fish caught in Wyoming... Lizzy!! Stay Huge, but not Lame!! LOL.
on the flies/flys topic... I see a LOT of people calling em waiters, not waders... ridiculous.
Can we ban “quiver” when discussing rods? I always get a Robin Hood/Men in Tights vibe when I hear that word. And how about protecting a river or a a stream rather than the affected “resource”
Can't call a Cutthroat a Cutty??? I heard the term used back when I was 5 or 6 years old.....I'm 59 now so it's not something new......
I should make an Instagram account for my 1999 Pontiac bonneville filled with fly poles!
I am a self taught fly fisherman and am not immersed in fly fishing slang/words. I do not care. Good video though.
You forgot the endearing terms for large mouth bass such as ditch pickles of bucket mouths! Stay Huge!
In Kenya we say cock and hen for males and females respectively. I believe it harkens back to the British colonial era when they were stocking rainbows and browns.
yes, and in steelhead fishing, on the west coast of US, the male is called the "rooster fish"!! LOL
You should have put a trigger warning on this video. Saying kids might get triggered is triggering. You even triggered yourself at the end!
Now tie some flys and relax.
Hey Ben, FISH ON!!! Sorry I couldn't help it. This makes me grind my teeth at night.
The one you didn't mention and number one on my list of pretentious fly slang is referring to your rods as a "quiver". I can't even say it out loud, it just instantly enrages me.
"VERY LAME" picture of addicted fishing. yep sounds about right
Bull char is definitely the most superior way to refer to "bullys".. bullies.. whatever
I love your FLYS videos
I object to the slang words for big fish. Body shaming has no place in fly fishing.
Steelhead come from the ocean? False. They come from fresh water streams. Haha yet another check mate to you salty west coast bros.
If you're not fishing dry flies only you're not a true flyfisherman.
Oh no, you definitely *should* make fun of people for bad spelling. It’s dum.
by the time I finish searching through your library of videos I've forgotten what I'm looking for and the video idea to begin with but now I have 7 more of your videos all tabbed up ready to watch...SO i'm going to put the idea here and delete it if I find it..... How to care for your fly line, rod, reel and other gear so they last longer. and what cheap gear to buy, and what cheap gear is trash. YEE YEE!
Good morning Ben,
Hope all is well with the family, I just enjoy your take on things. I laugh at my self and learn a few things.
I enjoy your fishing videos especially when you take your kids. That’s because starting the chapter with my granddaughter. I will make sure see watches all your content where she want make all the mistakes I did🤣🤣🤣 have a great day and stay huge 👍
I always thought Tight Lines was a statement to other fishermen, wishing them a good day on the water.
High- and Low- holing is pretty relative. In popular streams here in PA, it's kinda hard to fish without being upstream or downstream or in the same water as another flyfisher.
The etiquette is to go up a few bends before getting in though, which is different
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO
The high and low holing brought back an interesting event to me. Several years ago I was fishing the San Juan, and this particular day I was on the water at daybreak, freezing my fins off. By about mid morning I was working upstream to a particularly good hole when a strikingly fresh guide and sport (probably just left breakfast at Abe’s) paused roughly abeam my uncharacteristically perfectly drifting dry (yeah,thanks, I’m sure the fish never saw you two clowns stumbling up the bank) and asked “mind if we hop in ahead of you?” (referring to that good hole I had been working up to for a considerable time and was within maybe two upstream moves of fishing). “Actually, yes, I DO mind” I said, to which el guido snarked something about there being “a lot of water” and I THOUGHT “yeah, there is…go find another piece of it”. Fortunately they saw the wisdom of moving on up a bit more. Maybe I looked kinda rough and maybe irritated from my early start, or maybe they read my mind, or maybe they just decided to not be jerks, but their parting comment left me wondering “WHY DID YOU EVEN ASK?”.
SOOO… dude,if you’re out there, thanks for not being a colossal jerk, and only being a moderate jerk.
I’m from pa and it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, I act stupid since I’m 14 and leave right away…
That's because you're a hot spotter lol
@@phoult37 on some streams, if you follow that policy, you'll spend your day taking your rod for a nice long hike in waders, without ever making a single cast.
Generally, on more crowded water, I'll find a decent enough area and if someone's fishing it, I'll ask them which way they're working and if they'd mind if I start fishing the opposite direction. The direction is the key thing there, and it'd take a real jerk to say something like, "I'm fishing upstream, but no, don't fish below me." (If you get a piece of work that says something like that, I think you're allowed to just high hole them.)
There does exist flies, that are tied with feet.
Cam we just agree a big fish is just a chonk? Works for cats
It's eyes were on both sides of the boat
Little late but isn’t that guy with no arms the one that was yelling at Dave portnoy 😂
Brownies is dumb too!
German brown is worser! LOL
love me them hand-tied tactical on-the-flyes
I have to say when I first heard someone say "on the fly"" I thought "THE fly? theres only one?...sounds like on the rag...gross..."
This video reminded me of that ZZ Top tune , Velcro Flies.
HEY! you can fish fly, lure and bait!
hahaha paul worseling and family flossing soz from aus thats gold
Video idea; Give a bear cocaine and record a movie about it!
yes, especially the mauling parts! ;D
I laughed at this one good stuff
A Stonker!
i think i’m a high holing tactical flosser hooked on pisces hogs
Thanks Ben, now get off of my lawn. Tight Lines!
yes, and "hey hey, hee hee, get off of my cloud" too!! ;D
Always entertaining. now back to tying FLYS.
and be sure to do it "by hand" now!! ;D
I don´t hand tie my flies. I dress them ;)
I was waiting for "butter," but I understand time constraints
yes, and the organic grass-fed non-GMO butter is the best you can get. It's gluten-free too!!! ;D
Please make a hat that is a big tall trucker hat that says FLYS 🚫
rowin and broin ,,,,, colorado specific d-bagging
Crappies? When will it stop!!??
Hank Paterson will teach you how to mend
Butter. Stop saying butter. Please.
. . . only one letter away from FLYZ!!!
Well - if I'm talking about the point of a certain fly, the spelling would be with y instead of ie
Huh?
Yes a singular fly is FLY, but when plural it becomes FLIES. I always wondered about it..but Ben straightened me out a while back. 😂 Have a Huge week! 🎣
@@coreytohme9861 The fly's point
@@charlieboutin3341 And when you are talking about one point of one fly - it fly's. Huge one your self.. ;)
@@CONEHEADDK Ahhh correct. The assumption is that we're talking about plural here - not possessive. Don't even get me started on people using apostrophes where they are trying to imply plurals.
LDR = Quick Release 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ben, it's probably me but I'm not a fan of calling char "trout". I'm talking about bulls, dollys (dollies?), and brookies. I don't know why we (collectively) do this. We don't call trout salmon, even though they're salmonids. Anyway, LOVE your videos and stay HUGE ☮
Funny
I've discovered the best fly in the world and I'm prepared to share the secret with you, it consist of a 3mm (1/8") glow in the dark pink tube (cut to desired lengt, 2-5 cm or aprox 1/2" to 1.5"), you thread your leader through the tube and tie on a hook of prefered size (depends on the fish you are after) This simple "tube fly" has helped me catch ALOT of fish (i mostly fish for rainbow trout, brown trout and sea run brown trout. Please consider trying out this "fly" to see if it works in your waters on the other side of the earth. Cheers from Sweden!
Your best video!!!!!
I passed you on I70 last week didn’t I?
I have on the fly on my peterbilt but. I fly fish, fly paramotor and always on the go. So hate me!!
"I'm slaying them! How are you doing?" Ugh. When I hear that I run away, wade away, motor away, walk away, sachet away, even drift away...
You should do a spoof video on “how-to” tenkara where you stay completely serious and never say a bad thing about it. Catch fish and enjoy it. Promote it. Melt their fucking faces. #supertroll
Can you do an episode called "Fly Fishing SLANG & TERMINOLOGY"? Maybe a second episode, even? Thanks!
Where are we on “ball and chain” for indicator nymphing? Yes it works and yes it’s the primary option in cold weather when you don’t want to “chuck meat”. I’m ok with it but am willing to hear why I need to stop.
Noooooo! Not the Taco!
C’mon!!
The tactical one killed me.
Why not cutties though? I hear that and cutts quite often
