Great flies!! Ordered 6 of each!

“Snagging for chinook salmon”. Their digestion shuts down in the rivers. Cool, you reeled in a big fish, but that’s not fly fishing. Zero skill.

“Flossing for chinook salmon” is more fitting. I’ve fished the salmon run for 20 plus years trying for steelhead amongst the salmon. They don’t eat (and can’t digest) or swipe out of aggression in the rivers when it’s a fly. They just don’t. Don’t take my word. Ask any fisheries biologist or look it up on KZbin. Sorry, it’s just not skillful at all. If you want to feel good about reeling in a big fish, cool. Just don’t pretend it’s actual fly fishing. Catch a brown or steelhead when the salmon are running, now that’s video worthy.

Thanks so much Jaap!! And I have a question. I couldn’t get a good result with chartreuse color flies in my experience. But many anglers prefer to that. Of course I have a confidence with the Pink or Black and Blue. When you choosing a chartreuse flies?? If you like tell me your opinion.

Nice

Rod size? Line weight and flys used?

I have the same rod. Do you use the recomented grams Line.

Really nice to watch. Makes me want to fight a fish now. Beautiful scenery and gorgeous king.😊

Hy Jaap, where do you get the wire from?? Greetings from Iceland m8!!

Je regarde toutes vos videos , j'habite en france , on as tres peu de saumons chez nous maintenant, sur ma riviere L'Allier qui est fermé pour le saumon , il remonte 100 saumons par an , en 1900 il en remontaient 40000 , vous avez vraiment de la chance de pecher cette belle riviere , je vous envie . profiter , votre lancer est vraiment efficace pour que votre mouche peche profondement , Amitié d'un vieux pecheur decouragé. gerard.

Thanks for all the info Jaap. Love your flies. Going to use your King's Candy end of June. Can't wait.

What weight sink tip do you use?

what pound test is your leader before your section of 12lb?

what size eyes do you use i want to order thx

I’ve been waiting for this one! Thanks Jaap

Great fly, thank you.

I will try that for Atlantic salmon here in Norway. Looks really cool!

Jaap, cool thank You! I will use it for atlantic salmon . Now I know how to make it unsinkable what was always a problem for me . Thanks

Looks like a Enrique Puglisi clouser minnow I love it!

I would love to see a tying video of your Seek and Destroy fly. Thank you for all the videos! Take care and keep your waders wet!

What is the brand of boat bag and do you sell it?

Are the Steelhead all but gone now?

Are the steelhead gone?

No wader belt so don't use a floatation device. Hope you don"t drown!

What is the brand name of that tying vise...?..nice work on this fly. I have like and subscribed...👍😊

Caught King Salmon on my fly rod many years ago in a remote river, Float Plane access only. Looks like the same kind of fly. Very hard to sink a fly in a pool where the Kings always pick the cliff side of the pool where the water is deepest and fastest. Had a major fall flood which re-arranged the pool I had access to and allowed me to stand upstream from the new pool and merely float the line downstream and hold it it one spot. Had 5 strikes before I hooked one fish. It tasted might good.

Kitimat river ?

Quick Question: Do you guys prefer using Skagit lines with double and triple densities (OPST Grove or Rio Skagit Max Game changer Float/1ips/2ips/3ips) or just using a standard floating Skagit line?

My Grandsons live in the area. I am looking for a boat similar to yours to take them fishing on the Skagit. Not having any luck. Any leads for me ? Thanks!

Thanks for an excellent vid !!!

"Flossing for Chinook Salmon - Episode 1: Rigging" There ya go, fixed the title for ya :D

Helpful video. thanks

I agree with Spey Dan. A jet boating guide of the area, technique, and best practices are interesting topics.

Nice work

Thanks you so much for these and videos and the others in your educational series! I spent my first summer this year swinging for chinook, and after much experimentation, great outside advice and a moderate sample size, arrived at a very similar system to yours (though far less refined).

That boat is sick! You don't eff around

Nice post! We'd be heading up to Smithers next week, if the border was open. Hopefully next year... I'd love to see you do a video on jet boating on the Skeena/Bulkley if possible.

This was an awesome video

You need a better mic. Can hardly understand you.

Dank U , Jaap!

Hey Jaap, what model net is that?

Hi Jaap, I tied up my own version of this fly with the materials I got from you. Going for summer steelhead this weekend! Do you fish these flies with with floating lines, sink tips, or both? Thanks!

A presentation followed by landing a fish is always a good one ;-) Thanks for sharing Jaap. With regard to mending. I personally like to use aerial mend, before the line lands on the water. If I really want to sink my fly deep the I don't let the whole shooting line out during the forward cast and keep approximately 3 meters spare line which I release no sooner then my rig lands on the water - I prefer that technique rather then making a step or two downstream. PS. You live in paradise having all that great water at your door steps. All the best and looking forward to watching more !!

Finally real fishing clip!! appreciate!!

Thanks for the instructions Jaap !!! Good to see new videos coming 👍😁🤞

Thanks for sharing Jaap! Always nice to see you new videos. Regards from Lithuania!

Hello Jaap. I tie a big number of Ho Bo Spey on tubes each year and I learned a couple things from your video. Always things to learn! Thanks again for your effort.

Good looking pattern and construction is simple. thanks for the tip on the Nutria. Looks like it really expands the profile. Will tie some of these and thanks again. And thanks for the video!

Thanks Jaap for the great movie. As shown on your website the owner of SRL caught a very beautiful steelhead using this fly. This gives me confidence using it.

Good to see in back in action Jaap 😃 Great presentation. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you !!
