- Video of Michael Evanko and friends fly fishing the Oak Orchard River in Orleans County, New York for lake-run brown trout and steelhead. A handful of large brown trout and steelhead are shown being caught on a fly rod using beads. Evanko explains a simple bead set-up on tippet. This video was show in late October 2017.
Your bead setup is exactly what we use in Alaska for rainbows and dolly varden! Simple and fun!!!
Great job! What an Awesome video!!! I love the all the action and variety of fish! Very enjoyable to watch!
Janelle Witmer thanks Janelle!
I just seen this video,and liked it very much. Great job ,no over the top music or Ego ,very well done sir.
The steelhead in Ontario tribs are so powerful. I'll never forget my 1st 10lb.+ . Nice video as usual.
Lake run Browns. Man those was some nice browns. Great info and great video. Keep up the great work..
Frankie Shoenfelt thanks Frankie, you getting out at all this weekend?
Wooly Bugged yes i am.. Not sure where. Check out Lively Legz on Facebook. They post some of fishing on there Facebook..
You lucked out at the Oak. I fished it a few days prior and it was mostly all kings and triple the crowds. Good to see the browns are in.
Really great video thanks so much for sharing my buddy and I are traveling out there for the 1st time over Veterans Day and we look forward to fishing for some big Browns. Have a great week
Fun video.... seeing those big browns and steelhead is great. Keep up the videos.... need to make it up that way.
Very nice video Mike. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more videos of you.
Another great video as always. Keep them coming!
Matt Dieffenbach thanks Matt!
Im late to the party but great video. You seem like a chill dude, hopefully I'll run into you on the river someday!
Nice job Mike. Thx for the info on that area. As soon as I can set my bow down I'll will be heading up for sure. Nice place.
The info you share is priceless
The video is awesome. Makes me miss my trips to the area. Never got to the Oak, but I fished other tribs off Erie and Ontario. Sometimes, the bead destroys them. Swinging flies is a good time, though, you might catch less, but more aggressive fish.
Mustve just missed you up there. Was righy there by the club all day Thursday! Landed 2 nice browns and burned through plenty of tackle with those kings. Was also using beads for my first time and im thoroughly convinced now.
Rich Stevens I'm convinced!
Great video! You can't beat the fall brown trout fishery on those western NY tribs. The Oak gets a bit too overcrowded for me, but there are plenty of other streams with big browns up there for everyone to enjoy. Best of luck this fall season!
I love catching those giant brown trout. There aren't many places in the world where you can catch brown trout that get that large.
Wow it's really attractive river with such big blowny and rainbows !!
awesome video man. those r some big good conditioned trouts
Great video. The browns are pretty much the favorite at the oak. but those bows sure do fight
Hi Mike. I fished that river when I was in College back in the late 1960's. Lake Ontario was so polluted back then the fishing wasn't very good. The transformation of the Great Lakes into a world class sport fishery is amazing. That first brown you landed had to go 26"?
This was a really good vid, nice job
Mike Roller thanks Mike, I appreciate the nice comment! Have a great New Year!
I’ll be up there second week of November, wondering what setup you’re using for your fly rod? Line, leader and bead
Living in SoCal, that's an amazing fishery that we can only dream of.
Greg Sheu we are fortunate to have this fishery, not many places on earth to catch giant browns with this type of frequency.
Greg Sheu Yeah, same here. I moved from Western NY to So Cal and I have to go to Utah to find decent fly fishing without wall to wall people.
Big Papi You don't like Eastern Sierra?
Greg Sheu I love the Eastern Sierra and I used to fish it extensively from Lone Pine to Reno. For whatever reason, social media being one the spots I used to fish are now crowded with fishermen, littered and pretty much un fishable. I still fish there a couple times a year but I need to go further and further into the mountains to get away from people. I went into a spot where I had never seen anyone fish last year and there are 10 guys pulling cutthroats off their spawning beds and putting them on stringers. I fished a popular creek in Sabrina Basin and picked two garbage bags of litter in about two hours of fishing. The number and quality of fish have been steadily going down hill for the last 20 years unfortunately.
Technically the archers club is located in Waterport Ny
Excellent video! Enjoyed it! A question though - why do you put the hook so far below the bead? You would think it would be more effective right next to it.
tomatoplot I thought that too, but 1 inch to 2 inches is right. The fish inhales the bead and when you set the line the hook catches the corner of their mouth. It's magic!
Mike where did you purchase your beads? I was wondering if a set up like that might work for late fall fishing here in Pa.? I fished Oak Orchard for many years, it was before the archery range opened their doors to parking, we use to park on top of the hill for $2.00 a day. Great video as usual, we are waiting for our streams to go down a little so we can get some fall action.
Len Sherlinski I bought those up in New York at Orleans Outdoors. You can buy them online many places! Hope the water cooperates for you soon!
What is the actual name on the package for this product. Thanks again Mike.
No reply needed found all the items on line as you said. Going to try this set up for our trout on Spring Creek this fall.
Len Sherlinski I think the ones I bought were called Trout Beadz.
enjoyed this great video
I commented to early. That big buck brown was an amazing fish.
Thanks Big Papi, it is incredible to be able to catch brown trout that big!
Awesome video. What do you use for audio?
Nicee as always!!what is the rod that you use? can you use 5x-6x rod for salmon on Pulaski river or you need stronger rod?
Zivko Radojcic no way. At least a 7wt. Most use an 8 wt for kings
So you were swinging that pattern? No dead drift with indicator? I wanna try this.
I was doing both. I was dead drifting with an indicator on the line and I swung the set-up as well. I had hits using both approaches.
We were up the last week of October and caught lots of fish ,caught my personal best on a fly rod 27" 9 lbs. love fishing the Oak
patrick smith the Oak is awesome! Congrats on that giant brown!
Nice man, what wt fly rod are you using?
steve nelson Hi Steve, the rod used in this video is a 10'-8wt.
Can you pay to park right down at the club or do you have to traverse the hill ? I’m Considering trying to get an elderly family member out for a brown trout trip
Did you put the split shot like 1 to 1 and a half foot above the bead
fish4life yes to the split shot but more like a foot above the bead.
Wooly Bugged and do you use like a rio 9ft 3x leader or what
fish4life you can use a 9'-3X leader or 2X/1X, it depends on water conditions/clarity. I've had larger fish break 3X so it's a guessing game. Then there's the fluorocarbon debate.
Awesome!! Thankyou
I love beads. Trout beads are good.
Awesome trip man! I love oak orchard! Been there 3 times and caught fish everytime! The bead setup seems crazy good! Are you using a split shot weight to weight the bead down or just the bobber, hook and bead? Thanks for sharing!
love that place always walk there to fish from my property
That's a cherry place to have some property!
Upstate NY Adventures can you tell me where exactly the spot? I will travel from brooklyn, NY. I would like to try fly fishing for trout. Please share the pin location if possible
What size rod u using?
Beads are awesome caught a lot of coho on them
Daven Moralez hadn't considered using beads for salmon, great idea!
What mm bead was you using? Please
I believe I was using 8MM in this video.
You should get some hook sets on video!
At the time I shot that video I didn't own enough GoPro batteries to keep it on the entire day. I had to get selective and that meant post hook set.
To many out of staters locals cant find a good place to fish. WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TO MANY PEOPLE NOT ENOUGH WATER
Michael Fredericks that’s simply not a rational point of view Michael. It’s public water, everyone pays to fish it and puts their time in and has fun.
Michael Fredericks Hate to break it to ya Mikey, but the licenses that us out of staters buy from your state to fish, help to sustain this Amazing fishing establishment with nursery and stocking programs and many other programs that you guys have. The money from our license helps to keep establishing this amazing fishery you guys have. Get your head out of your ass.
Domestic rainbow. Not a steelhead. Beautiful
What is the rig your using?
Jeremy, I believe I was using a 10'-8wt rod with a 8wt rated reel and floating WF line with a 9'-2X tapered leader to a swivel and then 18" of 3X tippet to the fly or bead. The fish can be line shy so sometimes I'll change leader and tippet diameter. I put the weight above the swivel and dead drift it.
What size beads?
8mm
Hey Mike, just wondering what size beads you were using? Thanks
Kevin, I honestly forget off the top of my head. I'll have to look at the package when I get back home and let you know.
Its not a steelhead, its a domestic rainbow
I take it that's a private stretch of water?
Pwrcritter no that water is all public.
Public but you gotta pay for parking🙄
7:00 Boga grip?
It's some monsters in there
You said Albion wrong. Coming from some one born and raised
Nice
Your fishing with a fly rod but yet a bead as well...? I’m really confused your channel is called wooly bugged so why don’t you buy a pin and fish with that if your gonna use beads.
Wny fly fishing where’s the rule written that says you need to use beads on a center pin? If it works, I’ll fish it.
Way to bring 60k to this river 💀
There were 60K on this river well before I visited.
TV2
Stay home to many people from Pennsylvania. I live here and too to many people cant find a place to fish with out so many guys from Penn
Michael Fredericks I plan to be back this year and every year after that for as long as I can make the drive.
