Great gouge! I'll be trying this technique this week. I've always been more of a nymph fisherman but am branching out to more techniques. Thanks for the tips!!!

Extremely valuable information thank you so much .
good question, great answers. Thanks
3:20 was a golden quote for youtube!
When you use floating lines, do you always tie on a weighted fly and on with the sinking lines unweighted flies?
Does this differ if you are wade fishing because you cannot cover the same amount of water at the same speed? ie. do you go slower on your color and pattern rotation?
Hey Kelly,
I am a spin fisherman from the driftless area of Minnesota. I have been fishing a "fly" that i have developed and for the past ten years or so have been exclusively fishing. I tie it on a 1/16oz lead head jig and as mentioned earlier fish it with spinning gear. I dont want to sound overly arrogant but I have more than mastered my craft and am somewhat bored with it. This has lead me to researching different fly rods and gaining all the knowledge I can about streamer fishing with a fly rod. (roots of throwing crank baits on the spin outfit) I just came across this video and having a great knowledge with jigging for trout I wanted to comment on this video. I cant possibly agree more on the winter/early spring "jigging" technique as opposed to more of a swimming presentation. I dont have much knowledge on fly fishing yet but all I can say is if you arent jigging during the winter/early spring time you arent going to catch nearly as many fish.
Thank you for this resource,

Cameron , I grew up throwing gear and still love it. fishing is fishing just different ways to do it. Hope you enjoy your new venture into the fly world, keep me posted. KG
Ha Love this response. Almost exactly what my instagram profile says. Take care and good luck this season.
@s.t.fanatic
Can you please help us with leaders for wet flies or can we utilize the same sizes as the streamer presentation?
Sorry to ask a question I'm sure you've addressed but what knot do you like for the big ass streamers? Thanks
+Michael McClure
Great question Mike. To ensure that our flies track properly through the water, we always use a non-slip mono loop or a rapala knot on all of our streamers.-- John
Kind of late to comment, but had a question: what is the coldest water temperature you’ve seen a brown trout move for a streamer? Thanks and greetings from Oregon
I have seen them move pretty aggresivley in 37 degree water but for the most part I would say mid 40's and up is a little more practical. KG
@@kellygalloup6073 thanks a lot for the response and all the info put out
I fish streamers year round in Oregon
While wading in WI this spring, I caught a lot of fish by letting my streamer swing out after the bank was worked over. Sometimes adding a slow jig, sometimes just dead. Got plenty of eats right as line straightened out.
when your saying that your switching every 5 minutes or so, is that in a situation where your in a boat and your covering a lot of different water, fast or is that in a situation where your wading and you are taking a little more time to fish certain spots? or does it apply to both aspects?
David, either way but I cover ground pretty fast on foot as well. Not as fast as in a boat, but fast. i give a spot two or three cast and move the same distance up or down stream that the fly covered. So if the fly covers a 6 foot path I move up or down 6 feet every 2 or 3rd cast. the thing about being on foot is you get a pretty good look at the water and have a good idea if there should be a fish in there, so I may even change quicker on foot as I generally know the water pretty well and know if there should be a fish in the run I am casting to. I figure I cover a mile every 40 minutes. KG
Ok, thanks Kelly, I'm from Michigan and fish the Pere Marquette, Muskegon, and Rogue rivers frequently. I always find myself with a full box of flies but I only ever use one or two of them in a trip(and that's anywhere from a 2 hr quick wade to a full day float/wade) I still have success for the most part just some days more than others and some days when i feel like everything should be working out but nothing is and i still wont change. I don't know if it's laziness and I don't want to take the time to change or if I'm stubborn and think if it worked one day it should the next even though I know that's not true, but I love these videos, the tips you give have been a huge help in improving some skills that I thought I had been doing right but tried the way you said and have noticed changes. I watched the one you talked about tippet length with a sink tip and I have started noticing better results with the short tippet(as well as the streamer design one, has been and awesome help). Also thank you for your time and I could type questions to you all day long and I'm sorry for such a long one already but I have one more for you, if that's ok? I floated the pm recently and I was streamer fishing all day and I used the same streamer pretty much all day, every few casts I would get a follow or turn a fish or a short hit but only managed to hook and land one, so I guess I'm wondering if that's a presentation error or if the fly has something wrong or if its anything on my end or if that was just the fishes attitude? Is that a situation that Id want to try a totally different pattern? Or stick to it cause I'm getting reactions?
Hi! When you fish with a floating line, do you tie on a weighted fly, and with a sinking line a unweighted fly? I'm new to this as I always use nymphs. Thank you for your time.
+Dominique LeBlanc I do use weighted flies with a floating line but no more than what they are normally, like a conehead or dumbbell eyes, if they are to light I add a a twist on lead about 16 inches above the fly or add a 3/16 tungsten bead to the leader. With the sinking line I use both types of flies. I always make my flies as light as possible and seldom add weight to the body but on some of the flies they do have the Dumbbells or cones to make them jig a little. KG
+TheSlideinn Thanks!
Dominique, Generally when I am fishing floating lines I am walk wade fishing and not trying to fish to deep. I use cone head or dumbbell eye fly. If i need more weight,but i seldom do, but if I do I use a twist on weight 16 inches above the fly. Kelly
TheSlideinn Thanks for the advice. Sure to try it next season.
that laser legal looks awesome. any chance theres a instruction and recipe for that fly out anywhere?
Kyle
I don't have that recipe on line but it is the same as the barely legal just sub the marabou stack on top with a little Senyos Laser Dub. Thanks, Kelly
thanks kelly
Very Nice Question....
Even Better Answer!!!
