I find your videos so more informative than others. It helps me when I tie your flies. I have learned more techniques because of your thoroughness
Gregg,
Thanks man and glad you have been enjoying them
The WHY is soooo important. Thanks for explaining the WHY you do it the way you do. You have the gift of creativity but also the gift of teaching. Nicely done! I tied commercially (trout flies) for around 5 years back in the early/mid 90s and I just learned a lot today from this video. Thank you for taking the time to share. Oh yeah, 30% cull is very optimistic! Some times it was more like 50%. Thank you Kelly Galloup!
Great job. Thanks for sharing your talents. I do a lot of tying - but I always learn something new from your presentations. I watch your Zoo Cougar video at least once a year to keep the correct fly tying habits.
Thanks Steve and glad you liked the video -- Kelly
Kelly, your tying videos are very therapeutic. Calms the soul!
Thank you and glad you're enjoying them
Great Fly. Always grateful to myself having the sense to stop and have a look. So much to learn here. Thanks for your dedication to details.
Thanks for putting this one on film Kelly. I'm sure I'll be watching this a few time to pick up some of you little tricks for tying this little fly.
Glad you enjoyed it and we've got another one coming up here shortly
Your videos kick ass! Everything I’ve learned about streamers I’ve learned from you. Every video has so much info packed in. Love it. Thank you!
Kelly, GREAT background with the snow trucks and plows in the window. I love it!
Always good instructional videos. As an aside, I was just out clearing snow, so it was fun to see the snow plow come by outside your shop!
Dude you have taken me to the dark side, i love your videos and your fly's rock, i live in Australia and we don't tend to use streamers very much for trout, tying these fly's is good therapy for these shitty times. Thank You Chris
Mate I feel the same way ! I don't get to streamer fish but his tips are the best!
This is such a great tutorial. I fondly remember my visits to the Slide Inn on trips to Montana around a decade ago getting so much advice from Kelly and John in the shop. I've been a big fly enthusiast ever since striking fear in my fellow anglers here in the UK, haha! I really must get back to the Madison soon.
Glad you enjoyed it Peter and you'll have to take another trip over the pond and see us sometime. -- John
Fantastic pattern and really nice fly. That grizzly hackle sets it off in my opinion. Great video guys and and a great watch, looking forward to the next one
Thanks for the kind words, and we've got another good streamer video in the works that should be up by tomorrow
Love your videos! I find them very informative with a ton of common sense thrown in!
Glad you dig them Art and we've got a lot more in store for you this Winter
Thanks. I needed the instructions. I had a great first fishing day with a Silk Kitty olive this spring on river Rena in Norway. And by the way always learning something new from your tying videos. I wish my heads got as fine as yours one day.........
Pal-
Glad those Norwegian Browns like the Kitty as much as they do over this way. The key to making a good wool head is making sure that the wraps are tight and thread tension remains constant throughout the building process. After that, just make sure you comb out your wool before you give the fly a hair cut. As they say, practice makes perfect so one of the best ways to get good at wool heads is to put some dumbbell eyes on the hook and just work on the head until you are happy with it. There is nothing more frustrating than spending 30+ min on a fly and messing up the final step so get the head down and the rest will fall into place. Looking forward to seeing you this Fall -- John
Thanks Kelly!! Appreciate the long and detailed videos - lots of snow and extremely cold out, I have time :-) I use custom shaped (tapered) dubbing brushes and dubbing loops on most of my streamers. For nymphs and dries I dub a thin tapered noodle on to a waxed thread (as normal) and then fold the dubbed noodle (30/70) over a dubbing-hook and spin it up tight - makes a dense tapered body with well defined segments. Its faster and easier than trying to control a regular dubbed thread. Cheers! Hank
Thanks Kelly! Awesome tie
Thanks guys
I really do love it man, if people don’t have time to watch a video like this, they don’t have time to fish or tie! I’ve been using the wire from Hobby Lobby/AC Moore/Joan Fabrics my whole life and have never been upset. I use .24 for inch for pike and never had a problem. Love it
Thanks man I really appreciate it. Kelly
Best tying channel and you are explaining so good that Even i manage to keep you with you
Cheerz from Norway
Looks cold out, good time to tie
Love the comment about not throwing away the bad stuff....that's so me!!
It's perhaps the hardest thing to do!
Awesome pattern, great tie !!!!
REQUEST…. I would LOVE to see you tie some patterns with CATGUT, in some of the fantastic colored CATGUT like Caddis green, pink, red and ginger, then show them wet. Nobody is doing this and I think it deserves your expertise to make a great video with if. L 👍🎣👍
Excellent videos, keep them up - you do the best job of explaining why we need to do certain things. I would like to see you tie a Damsel, which I've had trouble doing - thank you👍
Thanks Rob, KG
Great fly! You should make a video discussing winter streamer fishing (fly choice, retrieves, depth, and spring fed water and how it impacts winter fishing).
Bryce-
We did a video last year on retrieves in relation to water temperatures and you can find it here: ruclips.net/video/jCLN-c-VwqI/видео.html
TheSlideinn thanks👍🏼
Hell yes.... I love this fly
Love this fly.... got a 4lb smallmouth today and we just had a lot of rain two days ago. #ChenangoRiver #Susquehannariver
Do y’all have a video of Johnny tying “kill Whitey”? If so that be a great video since he put so much into this streamer and knocked it out the park!!
It's about time!!! Good work, fellas.....that super-speed stuff is horrible.
Been getting a lot of requests for this one over the years, so we finally got Kelly to do it. He's just such a lazy human being that he seldom has the motivation to do anything. As for the super speed stuff, different strokes for different folks. High speed is better for people that are already "there" and the real time stuff is better for people who still need a little more help with the little things. Thanks for the support Brian and we'll see you on the White here shortly.
Stay on him, we want more!! See you guys next month.
Great video, I really like the way this steamer swims In the water , keep up the good videos
😂 he's just such a lazy person he seldom has the motivation to do anything... lol I'm dying. Thanks for all the detail and information. Perfect for a rookie like myself! Great job Kelly
The ozarks channel published the segment on Kelly's use of streamer fly fishing in December 2016, and the video does accomplish one thing. It demonstrates nicely in video, the use of the streamer specific tackle, the single handed fly rod, reel and line - something that Kelly has explained verbally a good deal on the Slideinn channel. One can see distinctive in the Ozarks video, of how the tip and highest portion of the streamer single handed fly rod, is used for it's flexibility quite intentionally, to create a certain type of retrieve of his fly in the water.
What is the practical difference between using a marabou plume intact, vs stripping the quill and using the barbules?
Silk kitty ….. I bet trump a has grabbed these !😂😂👍👍
Thank you
Your very welcome Bob and glad you liked the video
Just want to ask was the trout on the wall caught on a size 16 pheasant tail? 0n a 6 wt rod?
Do they swim good looks really good
Great fly. Now time for the Nancy p!
Baker- We actually have an instructional Nancy P. video on our Streamers on Steroids DVD. You can rent or download it here if you are interested: www.flyfishtv.com/streamers-on-steroids-1/
Kelly, got most of the fly down (as good as I can) but having problems with tying in the two lateral line hackles. They keep rolling, no matter where I put thread tension on. I have read before about 'flattening' the stem to prevent this, but with as long as these are that seems like that would cause them to fail and break off. Am I missing something? Appreciate any help you can give me, thanks for the videos.
Well it's been 5 years but I'm curious if you've solved your lateral issue
Great videos as always
What lamp is that. I need that one can you let me know where you got it.
Robbin-
That is a Giraffe and you can find them on our online store here: www.slideinn.com/product/productlamp-head-on-double-c-clamp-with-2x-magnifier-on-24-flex-arm/
What is the alternative wool product Kelly uses to tie the head?
Lee, I use Senyos Lazer Dub as well, but most of the time I use the Wool. thanks for watching, KG
Lee, it is Spirit River UV Wool, love it. I also use Senyos Lazer Dub
thanks for watching man.
Nice tutorial. Where do you get your clear plastic containers for your flash?
Kevin-
We sell them online and you can find them here: www.slideinn.com/product/productdan-baileys-tyers-tubes/
Can you vertically jig this on a floating line? (I mainly fish spring creeks)
You can, however I prefer to fish sinking lines even in spring creeks. Its to give the fly the same action with a floating line. -braeden
@@TheSlideinn what line/sink rate and leader?
I fish either the airflo streamer max long 250 grn because I fish a 7wt streamer x, or a the SA sink 25 cold 250 grn. For a leader, about a foot of 20lb maxima ultra green, and 2 ft of 12lb maxima ultragreen.
@@TheSlideinn thanks!!
KG - what criteria do you use for determining when to use a wool head vs a traditional deer hair collar and spun head on a streamer?
WT, the amount of and type of action I want the fly to do. If I want more side to side I may go more deer, and if it is up and down I may go more to the wool. If it is color Im looking for, especially blends or mottled look then I will generally use Deer. Thanks, KG
Bad marabou? Have you tied with Fish Hunter marabou Kelly? That stuff is fantastic. I love it for all of my streamers and large marabou spey flies.
We've tried the Fish Hunter marabou and haven't noticed a huge difference from what we get from Hareline and Wapsi. The patch in the video was a bad one that I forgot to throw out, but I usually get a bunch of good stuff to work with when I buy it by the pound. I'll have to give Fish Hunter another try though and see what happens. Thanks-- KG
Great fly! What do you say this is fishing for?
It's a brown trout magnet
Have you ever tried a dubbing loop for this type of head?
Mark , yes I I have just dont get the effect I like but have seen lots of guys do it . Thanks KG
Love the right left comment
Hate it when they “blast in your face”
you have no idea how hard it was for me to keep talking right after I said that, Johnny was on the ground laughing.
This is a great streamer for catching trump ….. he loves grabbing kitty 😂😂😂
audio problems? johnny needs a time out i think!
Termite, Could be I broke my thread and he had to edit it out, not that I have ever done that or am I admitting to it.
TheSlideinn haha. No great tyer would ever admit that.
