Slide Inn Q&A #11 - Double Streamer Rigs with Kelly Galloup 

Kelly you should read white hats leaves and pterodactyl s by rick osborne

Mr. Galloup, Thanks for the reply on both my questions about 5 wt fly rods and streamer fishing. I'm saving up and hope to make the trip to the Slideinn in the spring of 2017! The reason I'm choosing the Slideinn and your guide service is because of the extra time you take to answer questions from average fly fisherman like myself. I also completely agree with your outlook on fly fishing and keeping it simple. Not to mention the fact that your fly patterns and Chuck Kraft's have caught more huge trout than all the other flies in my box combined. Go big or go home!

Kelly good advice I like the comment about giving the fish too much credit with bigger fly in the back, we tend to over think the scenario, instead of thinking like a fish. I never fished a two fly streamer rig but I have had a fish smash a large streamer several times but not commit only to hook him on a smaller streamer after changing flies. I will definitely have to give it a try this season. Thanks, Roger

When you say the front fly do you mean the one on the end ?

I’m as dumb as a trout. I can’t speak for all of us pea brains but the runt of the school is the one I would eat. Maybe that explains the response to the smaller trailer. Your videos are really entertaining. Thank you.

Mr. Galloup, I fish a large trout river in western Virginia that doesn't fit the stereotypical "eastern trout stream". It's like a native stream on steroids! It's 3x as wide as the average Virginia trout stream and over my head in places. I'm having a hard time getting my streamers down to where the fish are. I've used the air flow streamer line you suggested and set up my leader the same way you do with some success. The problem is the stream is just not wide enough in places to get the full beniefit of the sinking head. Any suggestions on a stream that's deep but not as wide as a river like the Madison. Thanks

Love throwing double streamer set ups . Fished the frying Pan in colorado one year right at the top of the bend hole no one catching anything . Switched to doubled steamer set up bang 💥 big rainbows and a monster Brooke

i fish the Arkansas river from Pueblo , colo . cant find recipe for " smoke-wagon" always good vids!!!

I like to fish with barbless hooks so do you think there is a chance of the trailer rig slipping off the front hook?

New viewer. I really appreciate your videos. Thanks for increasing our knowledge with your excellent videos.

Kelly, what are your thoughts on using a nymph/swing nymph as a trailer?

Hey Kelly what knots are you tying for the trailer?

Im fly fishing a new area that has very heavy fishing pressure. I have been skunked 6 trips in a row five of which I didnt even get a bite. What are some things to keep in mind when fishing new water?

The hell with fishing...where did you get that Hula girl?

enjoy your videos-you explain everything so well- i enjoy listening to you - thanks for your help- thx again

Do you think it could be sent on you hands when you put that on your line

Holy moly, are you doing this on the 4 weights you normally are fishing?

I just wanted to stop by and say thank you sir for all that you do for the fly fishing industry. I pray you and your family have a Merry Christmas and God bless you.

Kelly, I realize this video is 5 years old but seeing you respond to some more recent posts gives me some hope - what weight rod/fly line is typically used or recommended for this style of fishing? I can lob your original dungeon on my 6 weight but adding another streamer to it seems like a difficult cast (armature here). I'm looking forward to seeing you this August and can't wait for my float trip with Starr, focusing on streamers in the morning - hoping to learn a lot and up my game.

That question list is like a 2 hour instruction video

I have never ever fly fished in the spring I am heading to the Sierra Nevada I plan to fly fly fish but mainly spin any tips for fly fishing anything would help

What is the recipe for the Smoke wagon? Thanks!!!

I feel so fortunate to have all these wonderful videos from a real fishing master. Thank you Sir!

Do you pull the questions for these videos from the comment section or do you have people message you?

What materials and tools would you recommend for a starter to purchase including type of fly to attempt tying? Have vice.

I will never use a dropper, or any 2-fly rig. Way too often the extra line/fly will wrap around a hooked fish and injure it. I think 1 fly should be the Law everywhere.
