@@Odhege8262 fly fisherman are notoriously stubborn to admit they’re just bobbers. They call them indicators usually to make it sound more adult lol

When the dog bites When the bee stings When I’m feeling sad… I simply remember my favorite streamers And then I don’t feel so baaaaaad..

Lot of high water this winter here but my faves to tie so far Barely Legal, Peanut Envy, Rusty Trombone, Black Mamba. I come from bass background so streamers make sense to me more than nymphing

Thanks for the video! Could you do another following up with sink tips / rates and how you like to use certain rates in riffles vs deep eddies/banks? Love the videos! Keep em coming! ✌🏼🤙🏼

Took me a while but finally started fishing the unweighted wedge heads, D&Ds and the like. Heavy sink tip and a shorter leader and had some good results on our local rivers

Man that’s a beauty of a fish! Thanks for the streamer recommends, I’ll be tying some for largemouth. 👍👌🎣

You can’t forget the Clouser … very versatile dude!

This is the video we needed! Next we need is poppers and topwater

Definitely grab a 7wt sometime, can be a solid streamer rod! able to throw a wide range of streamer sizes for bass and trout, at least that's what I use mine for

Thank you so much for making this video

Hi Ben, great video! Just one question because I only tie pike or perch flies here but am going to fish in Iceland (where my brother lives) and there they seem to use a lot of wooly buggers and streamers like the zonker strip one with the same cone heads. Are these tungsten cones or what should I be looking for (apart from buying locally based on local knowledge)? I would like to prepare some of both types of streamers for next year. Thank you for your reaction!

You need to wade fish Montana. I don’t remember the last time I saw someone do that.

"Just stop sucking at casting." Priceless! 😆

It's always streamer season.

I've never thrown a streamer out. Maybe I should give it a shot. My hat don't have a flat bill though.

i used to be an even numbers guy but for some things the odds are just money. my favorite rod for bass, carp, and streamer fishing trout is a fiberglass 7 weight with a fast glass action and a wulff ambush line. i run it straight floating a lot, but i also carry around a 50 grain sonar sinking leader (its a poly leader, just scientific anglers) and for swinging and stripping streamers its fantastic. its also bright red so i look like a sith lord (read: giant dweeb) using it so i like that too.

I use the same flies all the time wherever I go, too! Catch plenty.

Steamers are great for pike, bass, carp, and walleye. Don't limit the targets, because it's all fun!

Ben- always carry white: my first musky take was on a completely white buck tail streamer. It was “insane” also “epic” and “sick”

love the Rusty T

Ben, you’re my hero.

Galloup is like 5’8 150 pounds. I wouldn’t worry about him kicking anyone’s ass. Plus he’s a nice guy.

Trout-mini dungeon, Smallies-clouser, Musky-Double Beauford.

An even-numbered guy - I like it! I roll odd - 3-5-7-9. Most streamers for trout get thrown on the 5 or the 7. What size Rusty Trombones do you like?

Gonna have to tie some rusty trombones now

Even weight gang ✊🏼

Slumpbuster!

Do those articulates flies count as multiple hooks? Like if the warden checks in on you, how does it count? I know I've seen guys fish with a nymph dropper off of a streamer.

@HugeFlyFisherman

Yes, that counts as 2 hooks. Droppers off of streamers work real good if you’re into snagging fish in the butt, because that’s what’s gonna happen. #oldguidetrick

Hey I went and found Kelly gallops channel to see if I also thought with no relevance at all whether or not he could indeed ‘kick your ass’ as you and others have mentioned. Whilst Kelly does seem quite feisty and I suspect when he’s fuming he’d definitely use some choice language and angry histrionic’s . Never the less I think you’d be in with a chance with good head movement, and perhaps utilise a Philly shell to good affect and you could win on points.

I just read some comments. Do you Boo

Did you say,”fishpole”😳

Yes, I know… fly fishing in Ohio sucks compared to everywhere else. 😢 BUT 💯 percent on the white cone head Zuddler…. That thing KILLS with the smalleys here in the Buckeye state. And another 💯 FULL SEND on the Rusty Trombone (or the “trusty Rusty” cuz, well… kids are watching😂). That streamer was outSTANDING for big browns on the S Holston in TN. Two fantastic picks.

Kelly was a boxer is probably why people feel inclined to suggest his ability to beat your butt. 😂 also using same three streamers as well. But barely legal ... dungeon .... and bangtail

I am a prime number person. I only fish 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 weights

I hate bobber fishing too but Mepps is my favorite streamer 👍

I can relate, 4/6/8. Odd numbers are dumb as 6x

Been using the same 6 types of fly up and down the east coast of Australia for the past 5 years. Before that I was an idiot who thought you must match the hatch. Not true. Just learn to present better. Less flies to tie that way too...
