Flymaniacs suburban chub on dry fly with Niklaus Bauer and John Kärki

Flymaniacs are back! This time Niklaus Bauer and John Kärki are hunting for big chub with fly. It is super urban yet beautiful style of fly fishing. Remember to look what you have behind the corner and appreciate all the species we have.

[@jlreuvers]

My favourite fish, so I'm glad you guys made this movie :D

[@guntissire7383]

Mr. Bauer - you are a legend 😂😂😂 💪💪💪
Cool series 🤙

[@Scoopster]

Awesome to see. Reminds me if my youth when we couldnt afford to catch trout in the UK we’d fly fish for chub and dace. We’d use dry fly, crayfish and pin fry streamers for chub. I think they are much harder to stalk and catch than trout. All those roaming eyes in the shoal! I once heard them called fish of a thousand eyes!

[@richnfamous59]

they're so shy and easily spooked - in that way they're harder to catch than trout

[@shutterfish]

Not your average Bauer episode. 👍💪

I love fishing for chub on artificials, so far only tried with finesse lures but I can see the attraction of flyfishing for them

[@sonja9001]

Thanks for making this unique video. Last time I watched it I put an orange ear plug on a hook. I thought it would work to add a dropper to it. I have not used my ear plug fly yet. I like to see ultra talented anglers take it to the next level. It makes me happy to see the advancement of the the sport of fly fishing.

[@Visionflyfishing]

Lovely to hear, thank you very much!

So many chub where I live & regularly catch them when targeting trout, 60+cm chub on #4 - #6 rods can take a bit of time to land. I used chub fishing to train my daughter in fly fishing as they are by far the easiest species to catch on the fly down here.

Great to see you after chub...though I'd not thought of wet wading for them😂

[@lethuliv5500]

Thats the response of someone getting new waders for free when ripping them :)

[@lenraby5920]

Love to see you guys pop over to England and fish a Chalk stream during Mayfly season.

[@Benjamin-qr3yx]

Fun video 👍
It would have been even more fun with 5wt rod and a smaller fly , like a black or white high density foam micro popper on size 12 or 10 hook. It works very well, especially if you make it impact the water. No need for the heavy equipment, especially if you’re using a very short head.

I love this company, i hope one day i can be sponsored by vision

[@shoneflybg]

I am at 9:18 ,are you going to survive that fishing adventure till the end ? 😂

[@d0ndy890]

Today i caught my first chub on a dry fly... 1.5 kg x 50 cm. So much fun😊

[@richnfamous59]

chub give great sport, no matter what the weather's like. they're very shy so you mustn't spook them. my fave fish - the local river is full of them, to 60cm or so

[@oliverhenninger7937]

very nice video... thank you

[@adinatea_flyfishing-flytying]

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

That was a Hard fishing day.

[@kaiheltola921]

That is just normal with Vision waders.

[@peterpazitny309]

What model of reel is on your ONKI rod I mean the silver one.?

[@Bromptonbob]

Super video - what country?

[@swelite84]

Nice to se u fish somethingelse than pike Nicklas =)

[@Colopwnius]

RIP waders.
That's one interesting dry fly. How is it tied?

[@assyntflyfishing]

Looks like you could simply stick and ear plug on a hook! :)

[@Johnsilvretkarki]

@@assyntflyfishing Its better to have som thread on the hook, attach the plug and then have a point where you tie it in the front, and of course some glue. Otherwise, the ear plug will go off the hook when you casting.

[@assyntflyfishing]

Looks like high water... Easier in lower water?
I am going to France in Auguast and will be doing a bit of this for sure!

[@Johnsilvretkarki]

Its easier to target them on fly when its lower water and warmer temperature. But you have the chance of trophys in the beginning of the season. Heavy fish.

[@assyntflyfishing]

@@Johnsilvretkarki Thanks John. I'm planning on targeting some Barbel as well - squirmy worm time!

[@boansy1]

Unfortunately the uneducated fly fishermen in Scotland kill these fish, very challenging species to catch on the fly.

[@erikbohlin6018]

Wait what 2,7kg is the record on fly😶 my biggest is 3,02 on fly in Sweden

[@milosbozilovic7843]

Thats what chub hunting is all about. Ripped waiders, wet underwear, climbing the steep,rocky and bushy banks for chubby chubs nowhere to be found 😂😂😂

[@tattoedmat]

I can totally relate

[@tomasstalnacke9712]

Chub va de nu är för fisk🙂

[@gusadde]

[@sebhoudard3898]
