@@marmaduke0262 Caught sockeye in Idaho for decades when they were spawning and guided salmon in AK and lived right on the Kenai Riveer for about 30 years. Caught thousands from the ocean to near their spawning beds. All salmon that have turned colors are not bad to eat at all, but all bad salmon have turned colors. Not the same at all. Some ocean run salmon will turn red before they even come into the fresh water. It's a falsehood to say all sockey that are red are bad to eat. Not true!
I've bought almost all Okuma products (spin and fly, except for my reel), since watching your channel and have loved all of them. Thanks for all the recommendations. Good products without draining my bank account and I catch plenty of trout here in Utah.
Killer video jordan ! I've been spinnfishing / flyfishing my whole life and never heard of the bead tec. You do a great job of explaining every part. Right on man. Keep up the good info. Vids.
Just got a starter rod and hope to get some fall fish. Not sure where I'm gonna go, but hopefully no one will be around when I snag up on everything 🙃. Great video, hope to see more.
Great video, You’ve taught me so much since Ive watch you, I never knew about the beads until this moment and its great that i watched these. My fly fishing has greatly improved.
When the fish swims up stream he stays calm me would have turned around, and ditch the camera and cast away lol!!😂😂 love the video thanks man best vid ever!
Great video. I love the water haul cast in moving water like that. It's quick and easy and works perfectly with beads and weighted flies. I love to show you.
Great tips im a fly fisher my self and love it as wel as trout fishing ive never tried bead fishing. Usually nymphin with beaded hare ear or non beaded. Seems to be the best in my area.
Fly rod, level wind or a spinning rod every thing eats eggs. But you are right about the hook and bead spacing, my hook ratio went up and pulled hooks went down
Thanks for the tip on the use of beads on a fly rod Jordan. I had a dual fly rig with egg sucking leech and a bead off the end. Caught a 7 or 8 pound winter steelhead this afternoon in the north fork Nooksack river.
This is western Alaska area, Bristol Bay Area, if you listen a few minutes in, you could hear the floatplane flying over, plus look at that cold, clear water! Definitely Alaska, plus I can tell by the background and the salmon splashing in the background.😉
Great tutorial on fly fishing with beads. I learned something new and I will try it out ASAP. One thing I'd really like to know though -- Where are you fishing? State/River?
Decades ago, if you ever fished with an old Winona reel, you were fishing with a true center-pin reel. Big difference was that some Winona's came with a small leather piece you could use to control the drag, without burning the heck out of your thumb or busting your knuckles on a hard running fish. I still have the two I used for boucou years. Remove the drag from today's fly fishing reels and you have a center-pin reel. Casting methods are a bit different but the rod actions are very similar (single or two handed methods.
Wow your doing just like i do! I have a kit with the same beads too! More 8mm than 6mm but im fishing the tribs for a little bigger trout. I have recently been trying different floats in search of the ultimate float for me. But same principles. Thanks man! Great video! Sub added! Fish on!!
Cool video, that Okuma looks like a great "foot in the door" setup for fly fishing as most setups are really intimidating from a price point. As someone who generally prefers fly fishing it's great way to fish when you don't have to cast very far and you have a good idea where the fish will be. Keep up the good work.
I would honestly like to see when the time comes a whole tutorial about fly fishing for creeks rivers steelhead trout possibly even salmon the whole Bang You know what lbs line what lbs leader what flies to use when and where length of rod and size reel and how to cast!
Fish are facing upriver so it’s best to fish and work your way upriver. That way you come up behind them and you have a better chance of not spooking them. Usually you’ll only want to work your way downriver if you are swinging/skating flies. Just some helpful tips. 😊
I run most of my drift downstream of where I stand (60-80' avg drift but will run the whole line if the run is long enough) ,not a lift or "trout set" but upstream and low to the water, or else it'll pull out,often using the current to pull it into the corner of the jaw,rarely hook them elsewhere.I keep a 4'x4' loop of line downstream of the float so when I set it's a downstream pull.The loop downstream also lets you mend w/o affecting the drift.After the hookset keep the tip low and sweep toward the bank behind you till you come tight...30 years of doing it this way,I got it down.I've had all kinds of ppl tell me,"that won't work",till they see me do it.
Great video Jordan does same rules apply for steelhead just tad bigger presentation with the fly rod? And how about euro nymphing beads for steelhead or dead drifting 🤙🏻 keep up the good work m8888s!!!! 🎣
Just found your channel. First I've heard of bead fishing. Interesting. I've been river fishing several times but going fly fishing, from the shore, in a lake this year. Any tips on that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Great video! However, you jumped right over how far from the split shot is the egg, and how big of shot obviously. Also is bead size you use there for trout eggs, looks to me those are salmon so eggs are much larger? I want to fish where trout are spawning so I would assume that eggs are much smaller.
Great tips. Never fished beads on my fly rod. I think I’m turning to the dark side😈. I may be fishing dirty soon. Before ya know it sent could make its way onto the line to....oh no the force is strong...
Great tutorial again, I've learned a lot from your channel. I never tried fly fishing, but can you use the bead technique using a light line with a casting/spinning rod?
