So true about the snagging, i would see so many people hook unto a fish then they would acoot around a bend so you couldnt call them out on it. The method that always works for me use a fly with 4 ft leader and a 1/4 once pencil weight. Just toss it right in front of a honey hole or a routw you see them taking. They just glide across it and take it with out skipping a beat.

I was just watching some of your older black streamers for coho. And you got a Atlantic in one... I didn't think it looked like you were flossing those ... Please keep your streamer videos 🙏 i appreciate them greatly. I love tying my own and i plan to tie a few of the black with green eyes that you posted.

Nice review! It's just too bad about SmithFly. They really blew a potentially good brand. Here's my honest review / cautionary tale of our recent SmithFly ordeal: -They hit our card for the full amount when we ordered. Not insignificant on $5k boat and when the stated 4-6 week lead time turned out to be 4-6 months. We were lied to numerous times about the status of our order. -The boat we finally received 6+ months later arrived with visible defects. Ethan admitted to taking manufacturing shortcuts. He told me to fix it myself and that he will replace it when he can. That was almost 7 months ago. Or I could pay another $500 to ship it back to him to be repaired. Why have a Warranty at all? -He never shipped the accessory order I placed and refuses to refund it. It's been almost a year and I'm out $325. Not sure what you call that where you are from?

do you fish earlier in the run(when roughly was this) and closer to the mouth of the river? Fishing closer to tippy on manistee around the bend and below dam wondering if they would still hit so we dont have to just floss

Ive watched this about 100 times and just realized how familiar that spot looked.. And then realized that it was my group that showed up behind you guys in the middle of the video! Haha. That stretch was hot hot hot that day! Hopefully see you out there again.

Sounds like the wife put a kaput to your dream what most people don't do is invest their money wisely which turns into a very lack of free time and they wake up at 65 and realize they ain't got a pot to piss in do what you must

Hello! I hunt in Ohio, but wanted to visit some family near the northern glove to do some hunting. Where are you from in Michigan? I get scared going that far north and everything will be different in terms of my normal hunting ecosystem!

Way to use a center pin with a drag dude. So many losers would rather fluff off 3 fish to every one they land without a proper drag. Centerpins and kings go good with a hefty ,smooth drag!

Hey man I hope you're doing well and having success on the things that you're putting your efforts towards! I was wondering why your second to last video isnt up anymore. I think that was a really good video and a good way to send off the channel 😢

In small streams like that, using a small jig and twitching it in front of the salmon will more than likely agitate it to bite. In my experience all salmon will bite a bright jig in front of them, being on the Pacific coast.

I live in Southwest Michigan the county of Ottawa. Every year here is scarce and a very hard hunt. If we end up with a dozen for the entire season, we feel satisfied. Because there is years that we only find a couple. We never get the baskets full like some places I’ve seen in Michigan.

Sounds to me like your identifying ashtrays? I am definitely not a tree expert either. But the ash tree I think of as poplars tree. And they have grooved gray bark at the bottom, which turns smooth, going up and pure white. Very tall, majestic trees.

So as a fisherman who was told to preserve. We massage the eggs out. Throw the fish back in for another year. You also don’t do more than one.

Fray, who makes the artic spinner and have you ever tried the spinner on the center pin? You can by take a float and move it up to 4 feet or how ever deep and swing your spinner as the float keeps it off the bottom!

If you can tie a fly that can compete with the Niko hellgrammite, you will have the best small mouth fly.
