  • New Ed Ward Video is up! In todays "Wise Words From Ed Ward", Ed shows us an effective alternative to the simple pull-back mend, a method that shows the fish the broadside of the fly slowly, giving the fish the fly's maximum profile. This technique works well for both steelhead and trout spey applications. Check it out!

    I’d love to spend a day on the water with this guy. Just an encyclopedia of fishing knowledge. I’ve learned countless things from his videos over the years. And it all works!

    Love this. I was trying to figure out the "pull back" after hearing about it on a podcast with Jerry and this was a great demonstration Ed!

    I've been doing this mend almost exclusively since I started 2 handing lol. Not because I am good either but because I can't aerial mend and I suck at mending in water.

    What line weight of your Pure Skagit rods do you recommend for pike fishing 6 to 8 inch streamers? Usually I´m using #9 and #10 single hand rods. Thanks guys!

    • @OPSkagit
      @OPSkagit  Год назад +1

      Depending on the length of the rod, the 9wt would take a 300-325grn Commando and the 10wt a 325-350grn.

      @@OPSkagit Ah ok. So my SH 9 weight is a 350 grn rod so I have to take the 10wt rod in your line up to be able casting the same streamer I usually fish on my 9 weight (350grn line SA Titan taper line) right?

    why cast to 5 or 7 o'clock and then pull back line only to lose distance gained? cast to 3 or 9, where it's not immediately under tension, to give it sink time...w/o loss of distance

    • @OPSkagit
      @OPSkagit  Год назад

      It's a setup process prior to getting into the "zone".
