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.
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 :-)
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!
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.
@@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
Exactly! I love the Dead Drift Method because it's actually doing that and I usually see I'm the only one doing that while others are using a Thing-A-ma-bobbers or something similar. Actually, I'd say about 90-95% of those "professionals" I'm surrounded with are using some type of floating indicator that's sailing at break neck speed on the surface. Your right! I get a, "Hey!

Bro, last week I took my taco, Roger, to LDR some lunkers on the fly, and bro, straight buck cutties and bullies for days laid up in the rips just donking some hand-tied fly meat. Truck nuts.
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 👍
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 ! 😁
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.)
“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”
Video idea: Take your kids and go to one of the local park ponds or lakes fly fishing. You could even setup a Huge Fly Fisherman event. I live in Kansas and do not have access to alpine lakes or trout streams so I am stuck gong to local parks or farm ponds. Just show how fly fishing can be accessible to the "common folks".
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.
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.
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.
a really interesting idea for vid would be for Ben to get some folks on a trip to write down the plural word for fly and see who writes "flies" and who writes "flys", and then see who hooks the most fish. It would be totally "valid scientific research", mind you, I'm sure. LOL. My bet is those who suck at spelling beat those who suck at fishing, but excel at spellin' LOL :D
I mean.. it can bother you guys all you want but that’s literally the trend in marketing lately, finding unique ways to spell everything. Or should I say UNQ MKTNG 😂
@@RyanB-gi2fj yup, they call it "text speak", but the young-uns, who are good at it, wonder why they get turned down on their applications for decent jobs that they have to submit!! Except at Wal mart and Whole Foods of course, as long as you have a warm body for the former and tats and dreds for the latter! ;D LOL
@@RyanB-gi2fj Unique spelling has been a marketing technique for a long time. It's supposed to catch your eye because your brain should be telling you it's spelled wrong and make you do a double take. However, the unique spellings are never grammatical errors. You would want a your misspelling to be intuitively obvious that it was done intentionally - otherwise you look like you could be a dumb ass.
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.
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”
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.
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!🤦
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!
"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).
I think basically every Alaska guide teaches flossing for sockeye. It is locally referred to as the “Kenai River twitch” However it is so annoying when people call it flyfishing. I use a fly rod, but I would never refer to it as “flyfishing”.
It should say if you're fishing for red sockeye on their spawning grounds then you have a bad guide. There's really no way to get fresh sockeye without flossing, but it's definitely not fly fishing.
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.
#1. Turn off the paddle fan BEFORE you rig up in the garage. #2. Remove all doors, trunk lids and hatches from your vehicles. #3. Carry only cheap fly rods and carry many. You will never break a rod this way.
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!

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!🤦
Noooooo! Not the Taco!
C’mon!!
It's eyes were on both sides of the boat
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!
Here in new New Zealand we say jacks instead of saying bucks
Since you mentioned flies, what does the abbreviation “CDC” refer to ?
Serious?
Flys tyed with a ducks ass.
"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
To be fair... a LOT of people assume that fly fishing is only for trout.
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..."
rowin and broin ,,,,, colorado specific d-bagging
HEY! you can fish fly, lure and bait!
I think basically every Alaska guide teaches flossing for sockeye. It is locally referred to as the “Kenai River twitch” However it is so annoying when people call it flyfishing. I use a fly rod, but I would never refer to it as “flyfishing”.
It should say if you're fishing for red sockeye on their spawning grounds then you have a bad guide. There's really no way to get fresh sockeye without flossing, but it's definitely not fly fishing.
I have a “friend” that calls brown trout “butter” and bass tournaments “derbies”. Don’t do that either.
Video idea; Give a bear cocaine and record a movie about it!
yes, especially the mauling parts! ;D
Taco Truck Nuts should be a fly name.
I can't wait to go fishing with my flys and catch a bunch of buttery brownies and cutties. (triggered, yet? lol)
You forgot Donkey Punch, Ben. How could you leave that one out.
I see I'm not welcome here 😆
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
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
Brownies is dumb too!
German brown is worser! LOL
Video idea: Tips for not breaking tips! ## tips for increasing your odds of not coming home with a 5-piece fly rod.
#1. Turn off the paddle fan BEFORE you rig up in the garage. #2. Remove all doors, trunk lids and hatches from your vehicles. #3. Carry only cheap fly rods and carry many. You will never break a rod this way.
Is 100 yards too close to high or low hole? 🤔
Cam we just agree a big fish is just a chonk? Works for cats
i think i’m a high holing tactical flosser hooked on pisces hogs
LDR = Quick Release 😂😂😂😂😂😂
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!
Reminder if what he says triggers you and you laugh it’s okay because he’s funny as fuck
I always and only refer to my Tacoma as TRD Ferguson
So I guess The slang fishy is out :)
"VERY LAME" picture of addicted fishing. yep sounds about right
