thank you! I have struggled to figure out how to get the right depth on my nymph rigs forever, and you are the first person to explain it in a way that makes sense!
Thank you, Chris! Glad this helped. Hope you get some more in the net
Sweet, great vid!
I like this
Great video, keep up the good work!!
Thank you!
There’s only two types of people in this world… People who like Fishing Jacks videos, and people who are wrong! Good video!
Appreciate you always, Jordan! 👊🏼
You’ve mastered that river. Great work.
Always learning something new, thank you!
What’s your leader setup?

Are you putting that split shot before or after the tippet ring??
The Juan magician!!!!
Thanks for making this! Just found your channel and subscribed. I'll definitely be checking out your other videos too. Keep it up dude!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it, hope it helps
@@fishingjack definitely does! Going to be doing some winter fly fishing in Montana so I'll need to make sure to run some deep rigs.
This was a great video! I really learned a lot about split shot…been trying to use it and felt clueless
Glad it helped! Let me know if you have any other questions
Great video Jack! Sorry about your car…and the badger.
Didn’t know they existed here haha, but we’re back in business!
I like it too.
You’re the man, Dan
Really have enjoyed watching you videos. What is the common size fly you use. I tie my own so I stay with 24, 26 and 28. I do notice your flies are maybe 20 and 22?
Thank you! I tie anywhere from 20-30. In the winter-spring I’ll typically fish 20-24, and as the water starts to clear I’ll stick around 22-26. In late summer they can get really picky about size and I may fish 26-28 and occasionally 30 👍🏼
Well done.
Thanks for watching, Steve!
@@fishingjack I’m looking forward to watching more.
Excellent video! I was actually wondering about how do you take your split shot off? Because that was something I'd struggled with. I often ended up re-rigging up the whole thing because I had kinks in my rigs from split shots. Any tips?
Thanks for watching! If you check out my “Indicator tips and tricks” video, there’s a clip in there on how to do it. All you need to do it pinch it sideways, stick your nail in, and pull it apart. Hope this helps!
@@fishingjack Word up! Will be checking that out. Thanks.
What about using a drop shot rig there? It's more complicated, so maybe some people would want to avoid it for that reason???
It’s possible! Another option is a splitshot between your flies. However, I’ve found it to be easier just to use a longer leader and a single splitshot whenever possible. Play around with it and find what’s easiest for you👍🏼
Show do you stop the split shot from sliding?
The tippet ring or barrel swivel will stop it from sliding down. Pinch hard with your hemostats just above it and it shouldn’t go anywhere 👍🏼
The ring is 4 ft above the terminal fly . I’ve tied a surgeons knot closer to the flys to keep them in the zone. Just looking for a better idea
@@mikedoherty3563 rather than move the splitshot closer to the flies, it may be better to bump up to the next heavier size splitshot. How far you cast upstream and the distance between your indicator and flies is important. It about timing like I mentioned.
Split shot isn't flyfishing. It's just fishing.
This video is about how to use splitshot when fly fishing with a fly rod- that’s why the video is called “fly fishing splitshot”. Sorry that went over your head.
@fishingjack yeah don't worry I was just being a jerk I take it back.
