Open up the hook, bend it out a little bit, squash the barb down flat with some pliers for easy release, and then hone the hook sharp with a ladies diamond nail file and you will dramatically increase your hookup chance when the fish take your bait! Drag the hook gently across your hand and if it bites and sticks instead of sliding along it's ready to catch fish. As a bonus, if you accidentally hook yourself, a barbless hook comes out real easy as opposed to the alternative.
surprised i stumbled onto this video - i was very skeptical using the yellow nymph style one u use at the end, and to my surprise, it was fooling the wild rainbows in my area. and for me, if it fools the wild ones, they are definitely effective! great review man
Amongst other lures like rooster tails and such, I've added a creme lure salmon fly to my collection. Have it tied on now waiting for opening day on April 2nd!
I bought a few Creme Lure Trout Bugs tonight. The Salmon Fly,Caddis Fly, and The Stone Fly Nymph. I can't wait to try tomorrow since I just finished watching your presentation video. Thanks for showing the technique and providing me, the viewer, with a great video!
On the soft plastic bugs and helgramite put the hooks in facing UP instead of down and open the hook gap just a tiny bit and your hook-up ratio will skyrocket...
I just tried them for the first time, it got me three bass and a few bluegill, one got snagged on a log so I have one left for my next trip, I have to get me few more since they’re still only less than 2 dollars Definitely worth its price
I went today to dry creek over by my house and I caught two largemouth bass, I know they’re intended for trout, but bass don’t care if they’re meant for trout!
I’ve never fly fished with these mostly used them with my 6ft trout series st croix ultra light under a weighted bobber in ponds and killed every species within seconds they were hitting it great lure
Good info video. Could you learn to release from the net a little easier and lower to the water? Flopping out the net can cause injury with rocks and log jams. We all want to protect the resource we enjoy. Practice fishing ethics, share the water, leave no trace. Join Trout Unlimited and limit your kill, not your catch. Take a kid fishing!
My hand tied flies and knowing when and where to use them is generally far better than the plastic creme "bugs" you've shown. Mini and micro jig heads with nymph patterns tied on them work magic on stream trout. I use 1/124, 1/100, 1/80, 1/64, and 1/32 ounce hand painted and plated jig heads. I use fly rods for the first three weights and UL spin tackle for the latter two. However, float fishing I can use any of the above weights if slip floats and split shot are properly used. I love finesse fishing and presenting artificial hand-tied flies to stream trout. This is extremely effective and involves learning what the trout food forms are in a particular stream for the given conditions and time of the year... never boring!
I'ed like to win, tho with yer videos I feel every one that watches wins ! Ya can't know all there is ,but if ya watch these and other videos you can be a better fisherman / fisherwoman. Thanks, Tom Daytona Beach, FL. ( PS, I do get up North for trout fishing ).
In the little notes in between you should add how long it was in between bites. Kid likes to watch fishing shows but keeps expecting non stop fish when fishing.
@@NRVOutdoors a guy I work with who’s an avid fly fisherman has told me more than once that you use the flies that correspond to the hatch. What is also important is the time of day, weather, and season.
I hate to be the negative person on here but I'm really concerned about the way you release these fish! I think you make a great video and a very in formative video but you seem very careless when you "Throw" them back.

Flattening the hook barbs can permit the easy release of stream trout. The hooks are easily released from the fish and minimize the hook snagging on the net as well. Using a catch and release net with rubber net can be a good help for sure. I use a telescoping folding trout net where I never have to touch the fish or remove it from the water. I revive trout using the net as well. It is a Solvkroken brand net from perhaps 20 years ago. I own three of them for each of my trout outfits.
I found a pack of these on clearance and I’m impressed with the durability. It’s tough enough to last but soft enough to give a little action.
how long do they last?
@@FlyFishingGavin I haven’t worn any out yet. Id say as long as you don’t snag it should last for a good amount of fish. At least 50 or more.

Can you make a video on how to do it?

drinking game...take a drink everytime you hear "heck yeah"
Disrespect
Just found your channel, watched one vid and immediately subscribed ! Great job and looking forward to watching more.
Nice experiment, appreciate the testing, very down to earth and honest
I used these all the time to catch green sunfish and small bass in streams when I was a kid.
Been thinking of adding them to my gear, now I definitely will!
Great video! I've been curious about these for a while!
Great video man! You caught some nice rainbow trout! Those baits look pretty nice too.
I love these baits the yellow colored one work really good!! Great video thanks for this video!!

Nice creek fishing, been wanting to try those and hadn’t pulled the trigger to buy any, don’t give up on the hellgramite, they are fish catchers🎣

Pretty honest evaluation
I like trout fishing alot I used to go fishing with my dad when I was a young boy camp all weekend all and go home Sunday night
Got a pack of trout worms and caught a lot of chunky bluegill
thanks for this kind of testing and honest review.
Bought these before but haven't tried then yet, going to try them now
they do look like some nice size trout
Cheap and work.great video
You ever used any of the trout slayer crawdads from trout magnet?
I just bought some of those and they r really good
Pistol petes flies are one of my favorite .do you use them??
Lures like that work sometimes when nothing else will.also they work sometimes cuz no one is throwing them
Where was this at? I just got some of those bugs and am gonna try em this weekend
what kind of float do you use and how far up from the lure is it?
What reel and rod combo is that?
Next time use a clear bobber small one !
I liked the look of them but the hook bent to easy for some bigger fish I caught on them.
maybe tweak the hook gap with some pliers that might help
you might help yourself by aligning you rod rings. that top section looks skewed to me
You might get better hookups if you open up the hook a tad
I used rooster tail with a bug works every time

Get a life
Put some garlic or crayfish scent on them I bet you would get a lot more bites!
Heck yeah!
What are your thoughts on sierra slammers soft lures I’m not having that great of luck with them
Haven't tried them myself

Very clever idea. I think i will do that
😎
Good viseo
Salmon fly deadly on Erie pa tribs
Have used Creme lures but never caught a fish
Not supposed to use weight, only bobber, an you don't drift them you cast and pop them on retrieve.
More than one way to fish them. He was catching them wasn’t he?
You need to move your camera or do not block with hands when bringing a fish in. Thanks for the review
What state are you in? Those are some very nice trout.
Va, Thanks for watching
Would love some free baits
Would like some of those luresI’ve b been trying different plastics For fishing
Do you think the reason why some of the baits didn’t work is because you didn’t hit the hatch at the right time?
Definitely possible!

With a 4x leader on a fly rod they're deadly for trout, float em, sink em trout will eat em....
👊🎣👍

Donald Burleyson he is trying to not touch the fish
You do more Harm when you grab them. More so if your hands are dry
Have you ever watched trout being stocked? Those fish are fine.
