Thanks for the video. Quick question.. Should the midge tubing match the thread color (olive thread and olive midge tubing)? If so, do you use clear tubing for your gray Big Macs?? Thanks again man, your videos are awesome!

Enjoy James☕️☕️

Nice☕️☕️

I've tied Flys like this and I think it's not a effective pattern at all ok...........

I find that such a weird concept to be catching trout in a tropical jungle

Thank you, James, for this and all the other great stuff you post on KZfaq and your blog. I love this fly, which I assume you Euro nymph. Could you tell me what your current preferred leader configuration is when Euro nymphing the San Juan?

Awesome James!!!

Dude!!! Sick

Hell yea

New fly tier here. Appreciate the down and dirty. One question: the Antron, is it Antron dubbing or cords? Thanks in advance!

Use a version of this technique with crawfish flies under a bobber for small streams and smallmouth. Downstream mends and jerks to give the flu some action. The takes are so aggressive. Great way to fish.

Te salut .imi place ca esti tinar dar gindesti ceea ce faci ,adica totul are logica .O zi buna

Love it, James! 👏🏼

Now that we've got that out of the way, how's about a chubby? No fancy hackle needed. Much love, habibi.

Thanks James, I love it, the Ant is soooooo over looked but is amazing 😉

hell yea

Thank you, James!! Looking forward to fishing with ya again.

The guide on the Colorado River, Vermilion Cliffs / Lee's Ferry had me fishing with hoppers, about 20-years ago. I never even seen a grasshopper that trip, but, dry fly fishing is so much fun. Nice ant pattern, thanks for sharing. I'd fish that ant on the San Juan. I had a good time fishing a 'snowfly' hatch on the shallow water on the San Juan, above Texas Hole. Here is a dry fly pattern that I recently thought-up: Size 18 to 22 Tiemco 100bl, Veevus 8/0, color of your choice. Metz #1 neck hackle of your choice. Tail - tip fibers / barbules of medium to large neck hackle. Dubbing - down (webby) material from the same feather (I don't use dubbing wax), a bit of thread wraps to enhance the dubbing. Skip the actual wings, using the most delicate hackle pliers that they make, wrap a proportionally-appropriate hackle, from the same neck cape, in front. I try to get the hackle's natural curve to point the eye of the hook, not the hook-point. Finish the fly by tying the head with one or two half-hitches. Aside from the thread, the entire fly is from the same neck cape. The fly has a really toned-down appearance, not flashy. A 'generic' dry fly. I fish it with Gink floatant.

Awesome!! Thanks 🎣🎣🎣

Nice presentation.Can you tell me what light that is in the background.Thank You

Is it Fished during the annual big ant drop on the Juan? It’s faster than Eagan’s bionic if you’re not talking.

Great review! I bought the P-2300 (black version) back in Nov so have been tying on it for about 8 months and absolutely love it! I was a Regal guy for over 30 years before getting the Presentation and now I use the Presentation at least 75% of the time. I still like the Regal Medallion for tying certain patterns where I don't need rotary.

Nothing beats that type of fishing

I’m a stick that’s what everybody calls me thanks about trout not only a stick I’m a sick stick

Confluence Outfitters guides are outstanding! Best fishing experience of my life was with Colin on Fall River a couple weeks ago. He's an excellent guide and teacher. Now if we could just get the temperatures in NorCal to go back to something resembling normality, I could go fishing again!

Some big fish, especially that rainbow.

People are haters because they go out and do the same thing over and over. They wonder why others are doing the same and instead of trying something different like your team does, they whine and complain about crowds and "how it used to be." That's why you guys are the only ones I recommend as guides on the Juan.

Give the San Juan some gravel. That way the fish (hybridized native Colorado River cutthroat transitioning to more pure cutthroat) can build reeds, and to support a caddis or stonefly hatch. I wish I was there; personally, the three-hours-away drive has essentially morphed into two-decades-past.

Wow German browns!!

Where’s the tenkara footage?

I need more☕️☕️🤣🤣🤣

B roll on point

Nice to see an out of stater showcasing the natural beauty California still has. Getting tired of everyone shitting on our state although I will agree California does have its problems and crappy government but California is not just 1 big LA or SF

Making me homesick!

oh yeah!!

Let’s go! Now on to the Truckee…?

Norcal baby! Hope all is well brother,

Love it, thanks☕️☕️

I can attest to the "any time, anywhere under any conditions." If Pop's reads this post he will likely know who I am....he knows what a disciple I am. I cannot tell you how many thousands of fish I have caught on this fly, bull bream, chinquapin bream, crappie, bass, catfish, grass carp, carp, speckled trout, reds, browns, cutts, bows, and even turtles. When I say thousands, I mean thousands. I live in Louisiana and do a lot of panfishing and make trips out west, as well, to Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. Every body of water I have fished I have hammered the fish on this fly. If you are familiar with Silvercreek in Picabo, Idaho, then you know how challenging it is. Fishing with a guide, I as catching a few small browns and bows then switched myself over to the Pop's Brown Bugger and it was almost every throw. The guide, who was working with my wife, came running down the river bank to see what I had on....he even fell down he was so excited. He asked for one and I handed him 4 or 5. Later that evening, down by the footbridge where the monster browns hang out, I landed a rainbow that he said was the biggest bow he has seen come off out of Silvercreek. I caught him on the Pop's Bugger. Later that evening the guide called me and invited my on a free trip with him to The Big Lost. He was made a believer.

Nicolas Cage also prefers a waist pack. Thanks for the review.

Bass on Morgan James....lets go!!!

Whaaaaaaaat? I didn’t know you knew fly fishing for bass! 😂😎

I'm quite sure a size 16 or 18 would be great. Thank you. Just curious though did you mean to say size 18 as is shown in the materials list.

Awesome video, Ima try this on my lake! I seen James on the Juan and he may think you’re his friend “Chris,” but he is cool guy and he is NOT a jerk on the water lol.

Lots of bass fishermen use Thill pro series slip unweighted float with adjustable bobber stops. I bet your set-up could be used on a spinning rod too.

Hey James ☕️☕️ I do bass fish and catfish, but when it is to warm for trout I love hooking into a god catfish 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for all your content 😉👍

Spotted bass get no love. Great fish. Cool technique with the swivels. They are key to keeping line twist out of heavy/awkward rigs.

love learning new techniques like this

I’ve had really good luck with poppers and kreelexes. Never thought to try something like that, pretty neat

At those depths, I'd love to see a side by side with someone fishing a midge tip and stripping those leeches back.
