I use the swing. I can actually see many more missing the fly. One missed and hooked itself in the belly and what a fight that was in heavy current! Trout set, didn't know that what it's called but is exciting to watch. and then the fun begins
Ben, I fly fish under the lights at night, off a pier with pink yarn streamers as I stroll down the walkway. Sometimes I have to set my beer down on the railing to land a speckled trout. I forgot to mention the salt water. My ratio is about the same.
Another thing that works for me is keeping the rod tip low and stripping the fish in. I treat every fish like it's a musky. The only downside to this strategy is needing higher quality hooks.
I was dropping my daughters off at cheerleading practice and I saw Kellp Galloup. I asked "I didn't know you have daughters, what brings you to practice?" "I find watching them helps my creative process"-Kelly. That night he published his Barley Legal video
I’m new to fly fishing for trout. I’ve been bass fishing for 55 years and spinner bait fishing if you get 100 bites you catch 96 fish! I thought I was doing something wrong since I miss and lose a lot of trout. Apparently 3 trout from 20 bites is good?
Don't trout set - good advice - my default hookset is a strip set, which works fine until a friend hands me their dry fly rod. I shudder to think of all the dry fly tippets I've popped with a hearty strip-set.🤣
Agree with this ratio. I fish saltwater and often blind cast into likely areas. I suspect there are times the fish spits out the fly and I can't sense it. Also in salt water situations hooks get dulled if a backcast hits the sands.
You should make a lot more jokes about Kelly Galloup, and you should definitely make fun of that phoney baloney tourist trap known as the Madison River.
I knew you weren't Kelly Gallup video because the video was less than 45 minutes. I love the guy, but he can turn tying a zebra midge into a a three part miniseries.
No one warned me there was going to be math in today's lesson. Hold on; let me grab my graphing calculator.
TI 82 here
You need a slide ruler

"Do whatever you were doing that got a positive reaction instead of changing pace/strategy" is advice for ...other stuff too
"You'll have some kind of spasm" haha nailed it.. stay huge
The bit you do at the end of why I'm here. Like comedy at the cinema. The after credits is where the gold is at!

I find my ratio to be around 7:3:2 for brownies and even better ratios for bullies.

Huge tips Kelly..Wait..No way you’re Kelly.. I didn’t hear “Welcome back”. You’re Big Ben, doing Huge things! Thanks as always. 👍👌🎣
I could create a channel on losing fish on dry flies, hoppers, nymphs and streamers. I’m that good,
Oh my, wish you hadn’t been kidding about treble hooks!

Hi I’m Kelly galloup. And this is another TED talk. Hilarious

10 : 9 : 8 ratio is possible with streamer if you respect some strict retrieve rules.
Thanks Kelly!
I use a treble hook on my bottom hook and it helps with upping the ratio 😂
Until the bittersweet end.
Can I count a Strike King spinner bait as a streamer?
Can you do a long-form video on reading the water and where the trout live different parts of the day and year?
Trout set, strip set , spaz set …
They all can hook you up.
How close to the boat will you permit a spasm to be legit?
My bill isnt flat enough.

Have you got those I suck at fly fishing coozies yet???
So I don’t suck at streamer fishing, Bens Ratio proves it.
Drinking beer is not nothing!
Great videos keep em coming!

You had me at “hi I’m Kelly gallop”

I have been going through this thought pattern myself. Thank you

😆 🤣 😂
I was just swinging for wild rainbows deep in the Alaskan wilderness... my ratio was more like 10:1:0.5 😂
Oh I’ll sit here and watch you drink yellow fizzy beer All Day! 😂
I fish for smallmouth and my hookup ratio is much smaller because I fish barbless. (See last video)
Best part was the quiet at the end 😂
Do nothing, I’m watching you drink beer.
Wait.. this wasn't even 30 minutes long.. I don't think this guy is who he says he is...
Fun fact. I did something this weekend that only Kelly has done before. And no, I won’t disclose what it was.
I do better than this. Maybe you should go easy on the brewskis? We didn't watch you do nothing, we watched you drink a beer. Very interesting.
“Set it like a Man” lol. Good video as usual man.
LOL you got me on the treble hooks. Bastard 😂🤙🏽
11/10 ending
Grinned at “spasm”.
Great video!

Yup………….. whole time.
Prespawn smallmouth on the Columbia do not follow this rule 😂
Man in my family they would toss you out of the canoe
I get same ratio tenkara fishing for brim w the kiddies
Maybe less beers and your ratio will go up?
😂
There should be another number in there… 50:10:3:1 for every 50 casts you’ll get ten eats… lol or I’m just a really bad streamer fisherman😂
Bueller? Bueller, Bueller?
They allow 15 minutes kelly
Oh, sure, but swinging soft hackles is just 'chuck and chance'? Right. Get over yourselves, streamer boys, I'm begging you.
And use tubes
lol... nice opening...
10 : 10 : 1 for me
🤣🤣🤣 This was a good one!
GALLOP
Im spoiled and live in western Washington. Bull trout ratios are like 1:1
Scientifical ✔️
