Definetly more gear guides. The sheer amount of products available today can be confusing. Having a video with a couple of tips is always appreciated.
Thanks for watching.
I see Brian somehow ended up with Flip’s Frigate Rum hat!! Mad River is the BEST! Call any time with ANY question and they could not possibly be more patient and helpful and friendly. I bug them with dumb questions all the time and they have been a tremendous resource. These guys are the best.
Thanks so much for being here and for the support. Will have to ask Brian about the hat????
"Put the fly in the water and make it swim."
That's the best advice ever!!!!!!
Love you guys and the videos. Thank you so much!! I bought some micro game changers from you a couple weeks back. The name seriously fits those flies well.
Thanks so much for being here!
I am in Ontario and just started fly fishing last year. Pike are abundant in my area. Very helpful content. Awesome stuff guys thanks.
Thanks for watching.
I’ll be in Manitoba this June going after pike on the fly. Thanks for the informative video and I will definitely place an order. I like that Montauk Monster a lot!
Thanks for watching. Great fly.
As usual really enjoyed your film. I love everything American fly fishing and your innovative accessories. I tend to buy most of my kit from US suppliers as well as local UK stores. I don’t mind spending on my hobby it’s part of my life. But watching you guys show the products helps me make decisions on what to buy. Thank you and keep on making these little films.
Thanks for watching. As long as folks keep supporting our shop, we’ll keep making films.
This is a great new series! Please continue these gear guides for different species and conditions.
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Gear guides are key for a guy like me who just started fishing a fly 2 weeks ago , but have so many different fish and different bodies of water available to me less than 30 minutes away .
Really helps me understand what I’ll need to target each type of fish near me .
Pike , stripers , rainbows, browns, brooks, carp , largemouth , small mouth , etc
Thanks for the videos 👍🏽
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned. Support the shop and we will keep them coming!!!
let you know if we want more gear guides: WE WANT MORE GEAR GUIDES! This was an awesome, all in one, comprehensive video. Thanks MRO!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
First from Italy . THX a lot for the new serie pike on the fly
Thanks so much.
Thank you for this information. I plan to fish for musky here in Missouri later this year at Pomme De Terre State Park, Henry Sever Lake, and Hazel Creek Lake.
Thanks for watching and feel free to contact the folks at the shop with any questions. Brian grew up fishing Pomme De Terre!
@Madriveroutfitters Oh wow, I'll do that. I haven't been to any of those lakes yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Love the video guys! Please please do a Musky video! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Great video! Thanks for posting!!
Thanks for watching!
I'm a beginner and in northern ontario so pretty much everywhere is pike water and there are steelhead right down the street... really appreciate the line advice and knowing that buying an 8 weight for a starter was good enough.
Thanks for being here and happy to help. Always feel free to reach out if any questions.
First season fly fishing. Learned so much you you. Thanks buddy!
Thanks for being here.
Just watching some of your videos and now subscribed.
I just watched the video on Pike, I have been doing pike on the fly for 50 plus years.
I catch 90% of mine on massive poppers about 8” long and they look like small chickens!!
I am the opposite of your video, I very seldom fish sinking lines. I just love seeing the pike barreling at the fly and the surface strike, it’s addictive. I fish in Northern Ontario where the water is crystal clear and I target fallen trees and beaver houses on the lake. I have my favorite producer locations and in an afternoon I run and gun about twenty locations. Personal best, 17lbs and I have taken at least a dozen smallies over 5 lbs on these same huge flies.
I make all my own leaders with nylon covered steel that I twist on and melt.
I go through a lot of steel leader material this way. I have been looking at the Knot 2 Kinky wire, but the knot they use looks loose and makes me uncomfortable like it would slip.
My question is:
I want to burn through less steel wire and change out flies quicker once they have been slimed. I found uncoated titanium wire and sleeves, but cannot find a crimper tool anywhere.
Do you sell the crimpers for sleeves and what are the crimp tolerances?
What I have been looking at is sleeves in sizes of 0.05-1.0 for the uncoated wire.
Cheers Jeff.
Thanks for watching and for subscribing! Please send your questions directly to the shop and they will be happy to help.
I love your gear videos
Thanks for being here.
Good tips for fishing from a boat. Most of us fish from shore so, would be nice to see a some videos for us shore fisherman.
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
I see people recommending the Remington Behemoth for saltwater. Have I bought into the hype of a sealed drag? I wouldn't think the Behemoth would last a season in the salt.
Holds up well in the salt.
Nice, I like this kind of gearguide give me more of it. It will be cool to see it the same for bass and the other big known Games.
Thanks for being here and please stay tuned.
Please do a video on how to connect the Rio wire bite tippet to a monofilament leader.
Check the Knot Tying playlist. It’s there!
You guys work well together.
Thanks.....they seem to enjoy fishing together that's for sure.
Excellent! Could you do a fly tying tutorial on the Montauk Monster fly?
Will put the request in for you. Stay tuned.
Brian the "Mini Pearl" of fly fishing!!! Love the price tag on the hat!
Thanks for watching.
I'm new fly fishing..you guy have help me so much.keep up the video What gear I may like of need.again thank you
Thanks for being here and please stay in touch.
That striper fly is just about the same as a Dahlberg diver, which is a very well known pike fly. I find it interesting you primarily use fairly small streamers for pike where you fish. If I go pike fishing here in the Netherlands, we use 12-15cm like minimum size, on bigger water with bigger pike (80cm+) Usually 15-20cm sizes.
That fly does not behave at all like a Dahlberg Diver though. Can see the resemblance but not at all the same design or action. The Montauk Monster is 16 cm and the Figure 8 is exactly 20 cm. Thanks for being here.
@@Madriveroutfitters hmm I don't know why they look smaller than they are but your reply shows they aren't that different then, good to know :) definitely not saying bigger is better, hooked plenty of decent pike on fairly small streamers, even little 6-8cm things for perch.
Please continue talking about gear on Pike's fishing 🙃🙃
Pretty sure they just showed you everything they have on the water with them. Email the shop if you have specific questions. Thanks.
Loves the 80s opening background music
Thanks....we do too.
Good video for beginners!
I have two questions:
1. Super 5 "Manley Pliers or 6.5" Manley Pliers? Is there a big difference between them? I use nippers to cut the hooks from 1/0 to 4/0 in size. What will you advice me?
2. Another question about pike fishing in lakes 13-25 feet deep. Do you have experience fishing for pike with a fully sinking line or a shooting head? I use poppers or flies with foam or deer hair in my head. There are options for fly fishing in the style of "Carp fly" or "Scalp goby", only in larger sizes.
I would like to know the configuration options for a fully sinking line, namely the leash length? I read that in Holland pike is caught in deep canals (13-26 feet) with a 13-foot lead. I don’t understand why catch pike with a floating fly on a sinking line at a depth of 13 feet with a lead of 13 feet? In this case, the fly can practically swim on the surface.
Thanks for being here. Please send those questions over to the shop and they will be happy to help.
Just picked up a 10wt Echo Prime. Can it cast sink tips / sinking lines well enough for pike?
Please contact the shop directly with your questions and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
Great informative show, many thanks and please more like this
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Great information, thanks.
Already subscribed and thumbed up!
Two subjects I would love to see you tackle:
Wire traces (I fish saltwater)
Prescription sunglasses for fishing - bifocals!
(Edited - can't believe I didn't say please.)
Please!
Thanks for being here. Will pass along.
Just got some 8wt rods borrowed from my uncle. Gonna try and get some pike on em!!
Good luck!
Dear MRO, I can’t find tying instructions for the Montauk Monster. Can you point me to something or give me a rough guidance? What is used besides deer and ostrich, what forms the body? Is it bucktail and/or palmered marabou?
Please contact the folks at the shop and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
So with your line to leader to wire connections, how much of each of those materials are you using for your 8wt setup? Am I correct in assuming that you are stepping from your line, to the 40lb leader, to the 30 lb leader, and then wire? or are you using either the 30lb or the 40lb depending on the size of fish you anticipate, referring to the timestamp 3:54
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions over to the shop via e-mail or give them a call. They will be happy to help.
Very helpful and glad I ran across this, thanks! Wife bought me an 11wt pike/musky rod and looking for a reel. That Behemoth looks to fit the bill, but I'm wondering what exactly makes a reel an 5/6, 8/10 or 11 wt?
Regards,
Al
Send those questions over to the shop and they will be happy to assist. Thanks.
Wow, been wondering what SA Line i would choose when fishing pike! Thanks for info! 🙏
Feel free to contact the shop if they can help further. Thanks for watching.
Well, live in Sweden, so will email work? 😀
@@Dookii2 but of course!
Great vid Brian, great point from Flip, always about the physics! btw, is the MRO branded Simms hoody available? I can't find it on your website.
Thanks for watching. If not on the website, they must not have them. Feel free to call the shop though as they will know best.
Im just starting out Fly fishing(sort of) The only species I will be targeting are Carp and Pike. I bought a TFO NXT combo 8/9 wt. I wont be targeting small carp so I figured this rod will be OK for both species. Question. I dont want to spend $1000 just to test the waters in this discipline. So would the best bet for me to go is just buy another reel? Have one reel dedicated to each species? Instead of changing out the fly line for trips?
Thanks for being here. Please send those questions over to the shop and they will be happy to help/consult. E-mail or call when you can.
Pike in Ireland get as big as Muskie. I hope to try some MRO flies on them
We'd be happy to send you some!!!
Apologize in advance if this is a duplicate question. Planning on going up to the boundary waters in June. Thoughts on a SA TITAN sink tip vs the full intermediate. Which would give the best presentation in 2-10’ of water?
Send those questions over to the shop and they will be happy to help/answer there. Thanks.
Do you show how to tie the wire to the leader in a video? I haven’t found many videos on this matter. Tie your leader with close ups of the tippet to wire leader especially please.
Here you go:

Feel free to contact the shop directly if any further questions. Thanks for watching.
@@Madriveroutfitters thank you. I haven’t worked with wire does it tie pretty nice?
Fly fishing noobie here (literally 3rd day at it) don't pike or walleye just bite through the lead?
Not if using wire bite tippet as they show here.
What is the box you are using to store the big flies in ? I've been using Snowbee large saltwater and Pike fly wallets , which are really good , but I would like a couple of boxes for my boat fishing .
Looks like a Cliff Bugger Beast Jr. right there in the video.

Dumb question: Why not wind the reel so it feeds off the top of the real instead of the bottom?
Because that is not how a fly reel works? Not exactly sure the question but feel free to contact the shop if they can help further.
I figured it out a bit later... With all the talk of using smaller guides to help line shoot more quickly it just made sense, for a moment if the line coming off the real was already aligned with the guides... but I was forgetting the line you are casting is already generally off the real.
Is anyone able to clue me in as to how the figure 8 is tied?
Contact the shop and they should be able to help!
Hey guys, what about a swimming Jimmy how to video? It’s always mentioned.
It’s been done. Check smallmouth videos from Summer 2019? Thanks.
If you are talking tying it, you’ll have to check over at the Slide Inn for that. Kelly did It a few months back. Brian doesn’t tie them. He’s not good enough! 😁
Do my ears deceive me or is that Ben Rector in the intro?? Way to cater to us teenagers who love fly fishing. It’s those little things that always make me come back to MRO... someone give the editor a raise!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned!!!
Can I use my 7/8 rod for pike ?
Please e-mail or call the shop with your questions and they will be happy to help. thanks.
More content of toothy critters, please!
Stay tuned and thanks for watching.
Could you recommend a knot for connecting the mono and wire? Thanks.
Here you go:
czcams.com/video/cnpDYQaVyMI/video.html
Awesome. Thanks! You guys are the best. Guess I should have asked the follow up question, too: can you attach the fly to the wire bite tippet using an improved clinch, or is there something better to use with wire? I’m new to the bite tippet world...
My wife just bought me a 9 weight. I have an 8 weight but do I sell me 9 and get a 10 weight?
Great question for the folks at the shop. Give them a call or send them an e-mail and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
9 weight is the most common rod when fishing for pike here in northern europe. 10 weight is good if you plan on fishing really big flies but i prefer a 9 weight to be honest since you get a bit more feel in your rod.
What streamer fly box is in the video?
Not sure if they don’t say. Feel free to check with Brian at the shop if not. Thanks.
gonna try this now im 13
Thanks and let us know how it goes.
❤️😎💪🏻
Thanks for watching.
