If you’re fishing the Pere Marquette river for steelhead in Michigan check in with the guys at ‘Baldwin Bait and Tackle’ …. They can give you tips on what’s catching where and even hook you up with river guides and guided float trips …. Great bunch of guys 👍👍
Thanks for the info! I think I might have visited the shop on my last trip. One of the things I love about Baldwin there are more tackle shops than clothes shops!
@@lindsayiflyfish … I’ve had some success on a fly imitating what is known in Michigan as a ‘Wiggler’ (no really it is 😂 ) it’s a large-ish Hexigenia mayfly nymph kinda a grey dun in color with prominent eyes and a gilled abdomen …. They fish the live versions up there (available at tackle shops) but I’m sure there’s plenty of fly patterns out there for them …. The eyes and the gills are key… anyhoo have a great time in Michigan .. wrap up warm it’s bound to be chilly … can’t wait to see the videos 👍👍

Size 16 olive scuds work great on the east side. I have never been to the west side. We have been doing great using just white marabou jigs this winter so far. I need to get over to the west side. Good luck fishing Lindsay, like he said, dress warm 👍🏻
Lindsay, having escaped the BFFI without too much expense you post this! The tool is interesting as are the heated socks, I would happily have suffered cold feet just to have a decent crack at winter Grayling.
Like the socks Lindsay, I get terrible cold feet standing in water especially at the start of the season, I couldn’t wear both at the moment cos I have a broken ankle. My wife bought me a heated gilet a few years ago and I love it keeps you toasty all day long tight lines.
@@johnowen4888 I paid £30.00 for mine just a few weeks ago so I doubt the price has changed since then. Nik is on FB a good deal so I expect a quick response time.
Looking forwards to seeing any content from your time at this years BFFI show. I really enjoyed this vlog. Five excellent bits of kit. The simple solutions are often the best. With the measure perfect for rod or landing net handle. The hook storage idea is one of the kick yourself for not thinking of it sooner items. I will get some ordered soon. Shame Ronnie did not have that rod holder last season. It might have saved his rod during the practice session.
Thanks Mick, I didn't film at the BFFI this year as they had already got someone to film the event. I did offer. It was actually really nice to just wander around with no pressure just not enough time really for one day must book accomodation next year.
I think the tweezers are a good idea,i have been salmon fishing for years and when you are using 15-20lb nylon i can manage it fine,then you come down to 6. 7 . 8lb i just struggle to hold it so i will give it a go next time i am on the loch.Thanks for all your tips keep them coming.
I love to fish on the coast here in Denmark and when it's cold it's horrible to try and and make a knot for another fly, the tweezers would be a life saver. I was lucky to win Geoff Anderson socks and more in januar so heatet socks are not a concern 😊
Hi Lindsay i met your old friend Rob Barden the other day while fishing at brick farm lakes. He told me a story about a certain new rod disappearing over a boat at Bewl water. :) The eze tool for would be most useful as my eyesight is poor !
brilliant, si impressed with the fly tying guys, Simon Easthope demonstrated how to make a parachute fly in a different way. Its also on RU-vid. Ray @@lindsayiflyfish
I nearly fell over when I heard that accent say heated socks.... most be that thing called age catching up. Really enjoyed that mate looking forward to the steelhead videos tho
@@lindsayiflyfish my orvis guide vest is 25 years old I needed a upgrade badly. Can't believe that 26 pockets of stuff fits in the pack plus room for extra thanks
Hi Rob they fit into a little pouch at the top of the sock and are shaped to fit onto your calf. Once you have had them on for ten minutes you hardly notice they are there.
Thanks a bunch, very informative. Question please, what type of resin or treatment can I use on my dry flies to cover a quill, for example, that isn’t heavy ? It seems my uv resin weighs down my dry fly , is there something better for covering a quill on a dry fly ? I promise, any help will be totally appreciated!!!!!!!
