CLEAR Water Fly Fishing for HUGE Salmon and Trout 

Agreed!

It’s a waste of time if you’re limited on time like he is

Thanks for being there.

PNW Chrome Hunters Lots of good places in Oregon!

@@dmitri5744 yeah there is but it is allot different from the looks of his videos with the low clear water

@@MrMoonduner He is lucky to find clear water with all the rain we have been getting.

@@grantdubridge7995 yeah we are in desperate need of some rain here in the pnw right now to get the fish out of the ocean and into our rivers

Thanks, the great lakes is a pretty awesome area!

everydaylines Flys cost a lot these days

@@dmitri5744 that's true! 😂 a lost fly is a lost fly !

everydaylines 😂

I knew I was gonna run out before I could limit lol

Great, good luck!

You watch the end of your fly line that attaches to your leader if it stops suddenly or if dashes under the water, fish on!

@@mattweber5242 Thanks！

Peng, streamers are fished with a relatively tight line so the fish can often be felt when they take the fly.

@@wdtaut5650 Thanks!

Slipry Trout Woah no need to insult us, there are many Anglers I’ve met in Ontario that are very respectful to both the environment and other anglers, I wasn’t even thinking about going to Michigan, all I was asking was if a creek like this would be cold and pure enough to hold brook trout

@@urbanontarioangling2073 There are many small creeks in Michigan, even as far south as Grand Rapids, that have trout in them. I catch small trout all over south west Michigan in the creeks.

This specific creek actually has quite warm water and doesn't hold any resident trout at all

Small creeks, spring fed, in southern Michigan sometimes have brook trout, more likely browns. Streams as big as the one in this video are usually too warm for brook trout. Too much run-off, too little shade. The northern part of the lower peninsula has some larger streams with brookies.

I've always had an interest in more cinematic video production (you can tell from last years edits) but I've been really rushed this year and havent had the time to create any really good edits or film cool stuff. Ive just been getting a few fish and throwing up the vid. I have a new gimbal to play with and i'm hoping to up my production quality a lot soon

Fish Fray cool. I get not having the time, but just wanted to send you that way as I thought it was really interesting. Keep the videos coming!

Cabels RLS 8wt 9ft rod, lamson konic reel, 8lb fluoro leader to a size 2 black streamer fly

The reason he’s able to catch them in the river is because salmon go back to where they were born (rivers) to lay eggs and die so they go from the depths of the Great Lakes and the oceans to spawn

Fresh Chrome salmon 50 miles from a river mouth generally taste good. If they have been in the river awhile they lose all the fat and amino acids- the meat turns white and has a dry cottony texture when cooked. Most people will smoke fish like that with lots of soy, brown sugar and whiskey on it to kind of mask the flavor and improve the texture.

Meat, they say that because they are ignorant. I eat Michigan chrome coho..hard to beat fresh off the grill.

i saw that too

I film in wide angle with a GoPro Hero4 Black

Yea I tie them myself but its hard to find time to tie these days

Don't tell anyone! Its private property...

8lb fluoro

thanks a lot

They will be dead

I'd say another month or so

Because it's Salmon time.

Fish Fray Thanks it’s a blessing. If I send you a box of fan mail will you do a video where you open it and read the letter to the camera?

nAh

I have heavier rods for king salmon, but I went out targeting coho. I could have landed those kings if I fought them for 10 or 15 minutes but I didn't feel like it, some of them are not meant to be landed anyway

Because some of these fish are chasing and eating the large streamer I'm throwing . Some of the kings were probably flossed yea they were stacked

I'm a subscriber and a fan, but I have to agree with Ty here. I've seen you assert on at least one video of another RU-vidr that every fish therein had been flossed, yet here you're saying you were able to elicit legitimate bites using very similar tactics. I'm not suggesting you're wrong about that, since I know full well that salmon will bite flies in rivers under the right circumstances, but if you're able to achieve legit eats on the fly using lead and a short swing, why is it a stretch to imagine other RU-vidrs might as well?

In my opinion, this style of leader is the only way to get a fly down in this type of hole. I fish it knowing that a fish or two may get flossed in that situation, but my goal is to get fish to chase and eat, which I saw several of these do. I'm not sure what comment you're referring to but I'm guessing the person was blatantly flossing running fish in shallower water, rather than holding fish in a deep pool. My mindset has also changed a lot this season so my past comments don't always reflect the way I feel right now

Don't get me wrong, that's the tactic I'd be using in that spot as well, and like you, I'd be expecting a mix of legitimate bites and accidental floss jobs. The video in question was filmed on the Salmon River in Pulaski (not exactly a bastion of sporting practices, I know), on the DSR. The angler was using buggers, ESLs and the like, and aiming for a straight, vertical presentation to avoid flossing. Obviously he wasn't entirely successful, but it sounded at the time as though you'd discounted the possibility of any of those fish having legitimately eaten. I'm glad to hear your opinion's evolved on that. If anything, I'm starting to acknowledge that more salmon hookups may actually be floss jobs than I used to be prepared to admit.

You guys got me curious. Lol what’s “flossing “ ?

Thats a good dea

Yea i suck

That's called fishing not catching, it happens.
