  I think they cut wonderful and the price is awesome. However, for the way I like to fish for trout with small flies, light tippet and Davey knots they don't work for me. I put a spacer under the cutter blade but I still couldn't get it to cut the knot off of the hook eye.

  Hey man what size are you using to target these ? And do you recommend sizing up if looking for bigger fish ? Thanks from a noob

• 
  @ontheflywithryan56112 ай бұрын

  I totally missed this, I'm sorry. I fish them anywhere from size 6 or 8 all the way up to 1/0. If I'm fishing for smallmouth (depending on the time of year) I'll usually start with something like a big bulky deceiver, then work down to a Clouser or smaller. Typically try for the bigger bait bigger fish thing but sometimes big fish will eat a little Clouser and small fish will try to eat a 9 inch musky streamer 🤷. The nice thing about a Clouser is it will usually give you a shot at most sizes of fish. Typically it's a smaller fly but I think it's just enticing. You can also tie them lots of different ways, big and bushy, really small and sparse for when the water is low and clear, with bead chain eyes for shallow water, heavy lead for deep water, etc. A few colors of bucktail and some hooks and eyes are really all you need. A little flash doesn't hurt but definitely isn't necessary. It's a great fly to experiment with and really dial it in for the water you're fishing.

He always said that it fell once, and the view finder mirrors got misaligned, I have looked at it, but everything seems normal. Is it common to have that issue after a drop? Btw he does know what the focus is, but he says that sometimes he can't focus the viewfinder completely.

  Can you just use your standard floating line for the running line and then take the head and sink tip off and set up normally with tippet off of the floating line if you see a hatch and want to dry fly fish? And then put the head and tip back on for streamers?

• 
  @ontheflywithryan56115 ай бұрын

  The issue with this is that your standard weight forward floating fly line has tapered mass at its head, meaning the first 20-50 feet (give or take) is thicker in diameter then the rest of the line, which also makes this section heavier. This is what makes a fly line easy to cast. If you attached a Skagit head to the front of your WFF fly line you'd essentially have two heads at the beginning of your line. It would not cast very well at all. Technically you could reverse your weight forward fly line and use it backwards as running line for a Skagit head because the rear of a wff fly line is just thin level running line, no head or taper. To get the result you're looking for I typically carry a small tapered floating tip and swap that out with the sink tip. Then I can fish dries or nymphs under and indicator. This works well but presentation becomes an issue, especially with heavier lines because a Skagit head carries more mass in a shorter length then a standard floating line. That means it lands harder. While I've used floating tips with great results with larger terrestrials and bigger foam dries it definitely leaves something to be desired if you're wanting to fish smaller dries that require a delicate presentation. Midges, Tricos, bwos, these sort of bugs are usually a bit too small and delicate for even a lightweight Skagit system. Great question though. I may very well try to do a video on floating tips, although there isn't much surface action here in February 🥶. Might have to wait until spring.

  Do you have to have a high priced vice? IM 70 years old been at this for a hell of a long time. I have used the same vice for ever. The price of most all vices including the so called Budget vice is to much Get the vice you can without all the bells and whistles that's put on them. The vise needs only to hold the hook. I have a Thompson came in a red box. Not much to it. Not much could go wrong. One of the best buys that I have made in my 70 Years. Save all the money you can for materials. Im lucky I hunt and fish. Most of my my feathers and hairs come from the field. a lot of the tools I have made myself.🥸

• 
  @ontheflywithryan56115 ай бұрын

  You certainly don't need an expensive vise but the number of cheap vises out there today that can't hold a 3/0 down to a 20ish size hook is surprisingly high. You also don't need a high priced car but plenty of Ferraris get sold every year. 🤷 Same goes with fly rods. You can catch fish on a $10 5 pound fiberglass rod, but most people would rather not.

  I use the OPST 5 foot micro sink tips as well as their floating micro tips. I also use the SA Sonar in a 7 foot length as well as occasionally light Rio MOW and IMOW ten footers. Those Rio tips usually end up on a single hand six weight or a trout spey rod if I need a little extra length in the system. It took me a while to dial it in. My only advice is to experiment. That's the best way to figure out what will work best for your rod and head and casting style. The OPST micro tips are a good place to start though, especially if you're fishing a light single hand rod and a short skagit head.

Things are starting to come together, so I am revisiting the OPST sink tips.

  Thank you for this! Just started fly fishing this year! I have a hand-me-down 9' 6WT rod. So far having fun going after bass with Wooly Buggers and Boogle Poppers. I have some clousers in my fly box (I was told these were "must have" flies :) ) But haven't thrown them yet. Can these be thrown with floating fly line (with a longer leader so they can sink?) Or do these need sinking/sink-tip line?

• 
  @ontheflywithryan561110 ай бұрын

  The lead eyes on a traditional Clouser Minnow will make it sink pretty fast, no sinking line needed. They are usually fished on a floating line. Only time you'd ever need a sinking line is for deep, deep water which isn't much fun with a fly rod anyway 😂. Sometimes I tie my Clousers with bead chain eyes instead of lead to lighten them up. Then they sink slower.

  Here in Virginia this set up will, I am sure, work very well. There was not enough detail on the length and size of the leader (9ft 1x?) or the length and size of the tippet (18-24 inches, 1x?). I agree with your comment about mop flies. I fish the farm pond next door and the big blue gill do indeed inhale a mop fly...literally. 🙂

• 
  @ontheflywithryan561110 ай бұрын

  Leader size is definitely variable. You need something that will turn over the weight of a popper and another fly, so bigger is better. I'd definitely say at least 1x if not bigger. For me personally if I'm fishing where there are big bass (4 pounds plus) I'll use 50 pound mono to 40 pound mono to 20 pound mono then maybe down to 17 or 15. If you're just looking at panfish or smaller bass you can of course size that down. I like the big heavy butt section of 40 or 50 to help transfer energy to turn the flies over. Leader length depends on the fish usually. Bass aren't usually line shy, but cutting back from 9 feet will make an unruly rig a little easier to cast. I usually start at 9 feet and see how it feels. Similarly with the dropper I'd fish an appropriate line strength. For panfish 1 or 2 or even 3x should be fine. If you're fishing for trophy bass you'll want something beefier. Dropper length is another story. I like to think of it like nymphing for trout. You want the fly near the fish. So if you're fishing 2 feet of water a short dropper is perfectly fine. The deeper you get the more length you'll want, within reason. The longer the dropper the harder it will be to cast.

  It looks like your vise is the Barracuda Junior, rather than the "full size" Barracuda. The main difference is that the Junior's shaft is 1/4" diameter compared to 3/8" for its bigger brother. I considered both and preferred the Junior for its lighter weight and the fact that I don't tie massive salt water flies, for which the "Senior" might be a bit more stable. The only thing I don't like about this and other DK vises is their slotted jaws...great for holding larger hooks rock solidly, but for smaller trout hooks the optional DK midge jaws are really better.
