Small rivers can be hard to access and get to the better spots. I bought a kayak this summer and it opened a whole new world to me. Now I can get to spots that I couldn't reach by wading. A kayak is the way to go in small rivers for sure.
Nice flies ! I fish similar conditions in small rivers in Pennsylvania for Smallmouth Bass and Musky.. These flies would be great for musky. The fly looks great in the water and the sidekick action is perfect.
Hey peelindrag, how do you attach that tippit with your leader? i use swivels but dont like that. Maybe drop it in a vid.? Nice streamers build them 2. It Works in Holland TO !! 😎
@@peelindrag113 we're on the opposite end of the spectrum then. Also, have any river recommendations in Michigan for pike? I have the misfortune of being stationed in Dayton, so my recent fishing experiences have been shit. A friend and I are looking at taking a trip up there this spring
Just found your channel. Very, very impressive! I particularly liked how you used the UV glue to shape your flies head. Can't wait to see what you come up with next
I have a question, my pike rod is an 8 wt. as I see yours is. I accidentally bought 9 wt Wavelength Titan line for it instead of 8 wt. Do you suggest I return the line and get 8 wt or keep it? Thanks- Ahren
Thanks for creating the videos! I just started bass fishing with a fly rod that I built and haven't been all that interested in making my own flies until I saw you make that giant fly! Can you do a step by step in making a streamer like that.. and target the teaching level for a newbie like me :) Thanks and keep at it!
I’m just getting in to fly fishing and I love it. Do u have any advice or essentials that I would need cause I honestly don’t wanna go into debt trying to get everything that has the word fly fishing in it
I'm 44 and I've never learned to fish, but watching your videos makes me think I should try it. I live in Alberta Canada where there are many good fishing spots. How can I learn on my own and maybe teach my kids?
Nice you live close to quality fishing spots. I would get books from the library that cover subjects on learning to fish. Also, RUclips has many videos to help along the way. Maybe you have a neighbor that fishes locally. See if he/she would she some info. Your local sporting goods store or tackle shop can be of great service. There is a small amount of money to get started with basic equipment, then move up to better equipment as your experience warrants it. Fishing is incredibly rewarding in both spirit and function. Fantastic you want to involve your children! They hold the future of our environment in the palm of their hands. Help them to appreciate one of the most beautiful aspects of their lives on earth....the outdoors!!
Generally pike are pretty active in cold water. Some people may have different experiences, but I catch them on big sucker minnows through the ice so I'm confident throwing big flies and lures in cold water.
I get a lot of ideas from various RUclips videos and Instagram posts, but usually end up slightly modifying them from the original. When I'm tying the actual streamer it's just off memory though.
@@peelindrag113 Hmm, sounds interesting. I'm not sure I'm at that point yet but I'd like to take a stab at it in the future. Keep up the solid work mate, you've got a great channel here.
Nice streamer dude! Maybe you should try fishing the streamer AGAINST the current (all baitfish move with their head against the current) , that way you can fish it slower (while the current maintains the streameraction), and you will have way more control over your line ;-) . I wish you tight lines man!
Most of the bigger fish will move out of the tributaries into the main stem, if you Are fishing in a small tributary of a larger river, i would switch tactics and fish the larger river
@@peelindrag113 you should try what i do once every year and start at the 84th street dam and work your way to the 28th street dam. on a kayak of coarse.
Bonjour je suis moucheur en France et depuis peu débute le brochet au streamer merci pour vos videos serais til possible de voir un montage popper salut
the action of the fly at 7:25 was sick
owen tucker sooooo deadly
Must be pure satisfaction catching on a fly you have made yourself.
Small rivers can be hard to access and get to the better spots. I bought a kayak this summer and it opened a whole new world to me. Now I can get to spots that I couldn't reach by wading. A kayak is the way to go in small rivers for sure.
Great tie!
Great job tying that fly, that thing had fantastic action, no way Jose Pike can resist it, enjoyed it much keep trying.
Just watching you tie that fly made a great video! Don't worry about the fishing, that's fishing!!!!! 😉👌👍
I'm glad you liked it! Its just nice to do some more catching every once and a while!
Hey, I remember you . Good to see a video from you.
Beautiful streamer!
You are a serious fisherman! Very nice tie.
Cool video and fly. Gonna make me want to get back into it. I used to frequent Nomad back in the day.
Nice vice, nice fly.

This was a great video I'm proud of u great job
Great action outa that fly buddy, moves like a glidebait ... Top job 😎
Josh, if the fish won't cooperate, come in out of the cold and do a full tutorial video on tying
one of your flies. Those look great!
Good video! Fishing has definitely been slow lately in Michigan. Cool that you at least got on a couple pike though!
I'm glad I'm not the only one! Thanks for watching man
For sure! Love your videos!
Not weighted?
God, watching you tie the big pike streamers is epic! Personally trying to learn myself, I'm mostly used to tying bigger bass flies. More please!
More to come for sure! I'm kinda the opposite. All I've really tied is large streamers.. gotta work on the smaller stuff eventually

very nice tying
Good to see you back making vids!!
Glad to be back!
Love the streamer fly you tied well done. works really well in the water
Top Video as always!
Hello from South Korea! Nice fly fishing video!!
Thank you!
Oh man that fly is a tank!! Very nice pattern! I am sure an amazon peacock bass would take it!
Just found your channel. Very, very impressive! I particularly liked how you used the UV glue to shape your flies head. Can't wait to see what you come up with next
Another awesome video. Love the tie.
Nice video pal. Just remember fishing isn't about catching fish it's about enjoying yourself on the river.
That's very true! Just gets hard to remember that when I'm trying to get good content out.
Good tying brotha, I tie a lot and it's great seeing you progress. Lookin good and keep it up 👍
Hi from Australia mate. Great fly and fantastic tail action. keep up the vids.
Many more to come!
I have a question, my pike rod is an 8 wt. as I see yours is. I accidentally bought 9 wt Wavelength Titan line for it instead of 8 wt. Do you suggest I return the line and get 8 wt or keep it? Thanks- Ahren
I'd return it. Having too heavy of line can over load the rod and make casting more difficult.
@@peelindrag113 Okay, thanks.
Awesome!Love your pike fishing videos!❤❤
Thanks Paulina! Hopefully many more to come.
Love your videos man!
Nice video man, the weather in the fall makes fishing hard until winter

Ive been subbed to you for a while and your fishing vids are my go to! Keep up the work and you deserve more views dude
Love your videos, you inspire me to keep fishing
I'm glad to hear that! More videos to come for sure.
Hi just wondering what type of line you use. Flouro? Weight sixe
Everything is listed in the description
Great vid been starting to slow down in southern Michigan too
At least it's not just me!

Do pike slow down when it gets colder like 40-60°F? And does a bigger fly work better for pike when its cold?
Generally pike are pretty active in cold water. Some people may have different experiences, but I catch them on big sucker minnows through the ice so I'm confident throwing big flies and lures in cold water.
What is between your fly line and the streamer? Fluro? If so, at how much lbs?
5' of 25lb tapered flouro leader and a 12" wire leader as well.
Kinda curious as I recently picked up fly fishing (partly because of your content) but are you following a tutorial for that fly?

Saludos amigo pescador. Quiero felicitarte por tu canal de RUclips. Te quiero preguntar. ¿que tipo de leader y tippet utilizas para la pesca de Pike?
Nice streamer dude! Maybe you should try fishing the streamer AGAINST the current (all baitfish move with their head against the current) , that way you can fish it slower (while the current maintains the streameraction), and you will have way more control over your line ;-) . I wish you tight lines man!
Thx simple way to tie Pike etc flies 😁
perfect streamer good pêche
Nice video, have you tried any tube flies yet ?
Awesome videos!
Didnt even see this vid in my sub box a week ago. Otherwise I would have watched right away
Lots of baitfish spawn on shoals in fall. Bigger pike will follow them.
Nice afternoon there.
where can i buy these lures?
I got that same renzetti vise
How long did it take you to tie the streamer
30-40 min
Do more fly tying video 👍🎣
Do u use floating or sinking line?
Floating in the small rivers. Usually sinking in lakes or larger rivers.
Is that fly hard to cast with an 8wt?
Nope, I've thrown much bigger streamers on my 8wt 👍
Peelindrag Thanks 🙏
Most of the bigger fish will move out of the tributaries into the main stem, if you Are fishing in a small tributary of a larger river, i would switch tactics and fish the larger river
A few of the rivers do go into some larger ones, so I'd definitely like to get out near the mouths and around the deeper holes there. Fingers crossed!
Good video, I am waiting for the ice fishing, any 1 else?
Trying not to.. still probably a good month and a half away for me
Have you ever fished the Thornapple?
Yeah it's a nice little river I've just caught smallies and small pike.
@@peelindrag113 you should try what i do once every year and start at the 84th street dam and work your way to the 28th street dam. on a kayak of coarse.
how do the pike not bite through the line?
Steel wire leader
nice
The catch gets pretty sketchy this time of year, gotta take what you can get..that fly looks awesome though. Good job,!
It sure can. Hopefully things pick up soon! Thanks for watching.
Where in Michigan are you? I live in central Michigan!
I live in mid Michigan but try to fish all around the state.
Peelindrag I live in Harrison! If you’re ever around let me know!
Nice vedios
Can you do trout fishing please (ideally on a reservoir)
There aren't any trout resivours around here that I know of, but I'll definitely be trying to get some in the rivers.
You put your time and and if some Dynamite spas I'm not in a square you're showing how to tie flies that should be enough for the minions
El pequeño murió traspasado por la doble lanza medieval
Is there any way I could buy one of these
I'm planning on doing a giveaway fairly soon with some of these streamers, but for now I don't sell them.
@@peelindrag113 ok I'll be looking forward to it you got me into fly fishing so far only little largies
Where have you been man? very few videos
Just haven't had much time, and when I do the conditions have been tough.
Sexy fly thanks for the video upload
