"The difference between a great day and a moderate day is one more shot!" Couldnt agree more! ;) Oh we're still talking about fishing. Wonderful winter tactics! Thanks!

This is perhaps the most informative video based on it's simplicity. Just the facts man; just the facts!

Was in your shop last week (with Rick Reed) and only found your channel today. I'm really enjoying your content, you do great work talking in plain English!

Always a pleasure watchin your videos, all the stuff it took me years to fiigure out. So its a real pleasure listening and enjoying your life. Thanks a mountains worth. Tommy.

Great to see you on the water with your burner. Our Ruby passed 3 yrs ago, and I still miss her and her gentle nature. She was great in the boat as well as walking/wading. Great video Kelly, you always make it look easy...and informative. Have a good winter rest-up, with all the recent cold temps it feels like the old Montana. Be well buddy. John Hunziker, 59718

Very nice. Learned to add another shot. Never knew that ..... but makes perfect sense. Thanks Kelly.

For any newbie coming into the winter fly fishing world... you don’t know how valuable this info is! Eat it up!!!

I Love your dog 🐕...... Excellent video, I’m learning a lot - Thank You 🙏

Best winter fishing video I have seen Very good!

Nice winter fishing tips, thanks for the video.

Montana's best! Kelly, I've been fishing your "drop-shot" setup with a gummy worm or rubberleg on the bottom, sinkers hung about 8" off, and a zebra midge tied off the blood knot - Been pretty productive on the Gallatin. Appreciate ya!

Thanks for all the instruction ,great video.

This gets me excited about the possibility of a tail-water fishery where I'm from to be open through the winter, I really want to do some winter midging.

Good stuff, thanks for the video.

That was great!! I'm in the 9th ring of Hell, see Dante, cold, frozen and covered with snow. Hopefully, see you this Summer. just have to figure when,

I use the rubber spikes that stretch over my neopreme bootfoots. they have carbide studs that grip very well, and are easy to remove.

Great advice, thanks for sharing¡

Kelly, awesome tips. The towel idea is great. I've recently decided that I hate gloves! If I'm using my Tenkara rod it's not as bad with the gloves but it's still better without them.

You’re my idol!!! I want to fish just like you.

What a great dog

Zippo makes a hand warmer that would be perfect for you. Light it and stick it in a pocket. Stays lit for hours.

nice, simple is good. are you using the drop shot system or in the winter are you more "traditional"?

One thing I would add - If you want to keep your hands warm, put on a hat.

Kelly. Love your videos. Is it important to use a medium action fly rod like you mentioned or will a medium fast or fast action 4wt suffice?

I like the absence of BS from Kelly. Fun and informative.

you still have to have wet hands for handling fish in a net. Informative video, Thanks!

Hi Kelly , I am a big fan , I love the channel ,and I cannot thank you enough for the effort you provide for the sport .I have a question : when it comes to euro nymphing , how do you adjust the tippet length vs the water depth ? Many subject matter experts claim if the fly is touching the bottom , the fish won't touch it . Can you please elaborate or make a video .Your help is always appreciated .

These are the best videos. You should really charge for this info 🍻

Do you add that extra split to the bottom where the first split shot is like you demonstrate in your drop shot video?

When you are winter fishing, do you generally fish higher in the water column as the day goes on?

puppy always helps

were you using any sort of indicator or just high sticking?

Great video! What's the flybox at 5:00? That looks like a great box!

No way is this video 8 years old. I remember seeing it when it was released. Where does time go?

Nice.

How far apart would you put the second split shot from the first?

Winter wading.....I have yet found equipment to wade safely and still have warm feet. Neoprene paddle shoes don't have traction but are warm, wading boots have no insulation but have traction. Can you recommend a pair of wading boots that are warm? Thanks, great instructive videos.

This may not be the best way to get in contact with you on an old video.....will try other ways if no reply. How do you set it up for midges with the split shot? Drop shot, like for nymphing? Or weight above fly?

wish I could catch fish like this on the provo! lol

Nice dog by the way....

great vid... I like the jacket. where can i purchase? TY

Another thing, the use of the rag in cold weather, or any weather.

This is about the size of river I'm fishing in, so maybe a 6wt is too heavy after all? Thanks.

Are you fishing a stocked river or wild also what line brand would you recommend i live in Oklahoma and fish the lower Illinois alot there line size isn't a problem but my family and i like to go to roaring river in mossuri and all the fish there seem to see my line and i just can't catch to many fish im using umpqua 2.5 pound and it breaks like all hell im using a five weight is that the problem or am I setting the hook to hard or is that just not a good brand also should i be using floro im 14 years old so im not the wisest

Nice!!

Another great video, but can you cut that willow down by the next time I get there, sure would make for a longer and better drift in your back yard!

Heavier tippet is the way to roll.

What kind of dog and what is his name? Love fishing with my Border Collie mix Magick.

I dragged a float tube over the snow to one of Oregon's most pressured lakes several years ago in a quest to prove something. I caught trout on a huge saltwater size streamer on 1x "tippet" just to show that unpressured trout are not shy at all.

The drop shit system has been the way ive nymped for about 2 weeks and its deadly effective and ive lost less flys with the system ive lost more tin split shot but there cheap HA!

so what do I do if there's ice over my local river?

With you not using nets very often how to you deal with the young fish that wont stop thrashing around?

Lob release!

No indicator?

Wearing a hat is by far the best thing to stay warm and thick socks

We have the same name

Is that you Micheal Douglas ?

Can’t put a hat on Paul it’ll mess up his chuck norris hair.

Nothing fun about that. A nymph beneath a bobber and you dont even cast.
