Hi Larry and thank you very much! Here’s the link to the Amazon account I bought the net from: Dovesun Fishing Net Replacement, color: Black, size: 12.6” diam., 11.8” depth, 39.3” circumference. I used the same thread from the old net , so be careful taking it off, and I did have to add about 3 more inches of a similar thread to finish it up. To start, I put the new net around the frame with twisty ties, then start restitching the new net down at one side of the handle, go around the frame and finish on the other side of the handle. Hope this helps, good luck 👍🏻.

Hi Glen! The cream Antron in a bag is available at most fly shops, not a hard one to get, but the ginger raccoon I’ve seriously had for at least 35 years, but any natural cream dubbing will do, like hares ear or possum or SLF. J Stockard and Feather Craft have a pretty wide selection, as does Avid Max thru Amazon, check those three first. Hope this helps 👍🏻.

Hello Larry! Thank you very much! I got the replacement net off Amazon, this should be the link for the net , size and color I purchased, m.media-amazon.com/images/S/sash//cxfxW9mXeoKT4Ys.svg If the link doesn’t work, I purchased it from Amazon, the company was Dovesun Rubber Fish net replacement, black color, size: 12.6” diam. , 11.8” depth, 39.3” circumference, price $12.99 Hope this helps, I used the same thread that I unstitched from the old net, so be careful taking it off not to ruin that thread, I did also have to add about 3” of a similar thread to the end because I guess I didn’t stitch it or tye it into the frame the same exact way as I took it off. Also, I started by putting the net on around the frame with twisty ties, then started the thread at one side near the handle and kept stitching it around the frame back down to the other side of the handle, then took the twisty ties off after it was finished. Good luck 👍🏻.

Lively Legz!! Hey guys! Using your Legz on Scott’s Big Ginger Nymph, love them! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi buddy! Yes, I believe so, that stream has a great population of wild brownies, and big ones too! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Hi Dale! Thank you very much! Yes, I’m going on Friday. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

I’ll miss you,I’m going on Saturday.

Hi Tommy! From my fly line I use the 50” Cutthroat Furled Shorty Leader for my butt section then 5ft of 4x Flouro, then my tandem rig. Check out my video from the summer of ‘23 called My Leader Setup, I go into detail going from nymphing to dries with my leader. For the J, I do have a lot of success with this rig, also an olive perdigon , blue perdigon, soft hackles in season and midge pupae in the winter and little black Stonefly patterns, nymphs and dries. Hope this helps.

In addition, what lenght leader are you using in the video? And the tippet is appropriate 5 ft?

Hello Tommy! Thank you very much, and yep, tye a few up for the Delaware and give them a fair shot. As far as my leader, first I only use a standard weight forward floating line matched to the rod, then I use the 50” Cutthroat Furled Shorty leader just as my butt section, then I run 5ft of 4x Flouro, then the tandem rig. Hope this helps. If you’d like, check out my video from the summer of ‘23 called, My Leader Setup, in there, I go into a very detailed explanation of my leader, going from nymphing then going over to dries. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

@ I’ve got the Cuttthroat leader already so I’m excited to give this a shot. Definitely want to get this setup before the West Branch trip.

Hi George! This video I started out with the Fl. Sunburst Orange color, then after that one fell apart, I switched over to the Fl. Cheese color. I think , this day, the orange worked better. Thanks again.

Hi Dave! Most fly shops sell common midge patterns and some may sell some of their local patterns. I tye my own, but a google search for midge pupas for sale or top secret midge pattern Check these websites or call the shops for specifics, TCO, Tactical Fly Fishing, Feather Craft Fly Fishing, Precision Fly Shop, also a lot of Western fly shops carry good local patterns. Hope this helps.

@@pawoodsnwater7551 thx buddy first time fly fishing when ever I go,,,,Im have all rods 10 ft Nymphs and Special streamer rod....9-5

Hi Seth! On all my outfits I run a standard weight forward floating line matched to the rod weight, then I use the 50” Cutthroat Furled Shorty Leader just for my butt section then 5ft of 4x Flouro, then the tandem rig. I have a couple older videos that go into my leader and technique more in detail, one in the summer of’23 is called, My Leader Setup, then look up Nymphing Strategies Part 3, then watch the first ten minutes of Nymphing a Snowy Penns Creek. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello Michael and Happy New Year to you too. It is very surprising how I’m able to detect hits or strikes just focusing on my leader or line. Honestly, guys that I show my technique to in person are able to pick up the signs also in a relatively short time. Very freeing not relying on indicators or sighters anymore. Here’s to a safe and fun 2025 🥂.

Hi Phil! Happy New Year! Really!? My buddy Ryan was there on Sunday, flow was 122cfs, fished around the 222 bridges for 2.5 hours, not a single bite. Guess there’s still some hungry fish in there, ha! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Usual other spots were producing! Except 222 bridge 😅Nice size rainbows. Happy New Year!

Haha! There’s the answer to your other comment about your Tully day, good deal 👍🏻. Glad it’s working for you. Appreciate the feedback.

Ha! Doug, a lot of the “predictable” hatches are up closer to Deposit, from like Dream Catchers on upstream, especially in the summer, you can almost set your watch to them, Sulphurs, BWOs, and caddis are mostly in the evenings but some during the day, other hatches are common just not predictable. From Hale Eddy downstream the hatches are there just not predictable because the water is less stable from there down, the first couple miles below the reservoir the water is very stable. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi George! Yes, love my Regal vise with the midge jaws. Yes the size 12-4XL hook gor the Big Ginger or Brown nymph with the bigger Med size Lively Legz and the size 12-3xl hook TMC200R hook with the small size Lively Legz. The Iso nymph is considerably smaller than a stonefly nymph. Glad you’re finding success with them. 👍🏻. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Chris! Hope you’re having a great holiday season! Love the days when we hit it right, happy to share with everyone. Thanks for watching and commenting and for all your support.

Hi Snook and Happy New Year soon! I’m having a wonderful holiday season. Had a tough day on Penns today, fished with Dave Rothrock, I think he got 8-9 fish and I got 7, but decent sizes, but I can still appreciate the challenge and the beauty of Penns. God is good! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Merry Christmas Reid and Happy New Year! You’re welcome and my pleasure, appreciate you watching and commenting.

Ha! You caught that! Kind of appropriate. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you get out soon and have some fun. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Michael! Pine Creek is prime in May, actually from opening day until the first week of June, then temps start rising. All of May there’s great hatches on Pine, it’s crowded but still worth it! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Merry Christmas Sean! If I could I would, cause trust me, it does get pressured at times. But thank you for watching and commenting.

Hi Jim! Naa, just a croaking sound a lot of browns make more than rainbows or brookies. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

These are all wild brownies, Class A PA waters.

Honestly, I’ve never been a steelhead or salmon or lake run brownie guy, never been up there. I hear it can be like a zoo somedays, or guys can see a ton of fish in a hole but no fish biting and the drought earlier stranded a ton of fish until the rain came. Me particularly, I don’t need big fish to keep me happy. But never say never, maybe someday I’ll get up there Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@pawoodsnwater7551 Diversify! Everyone is using eggs ,so use a minnow fly, so many dont use Lehigh rigs(nymph then a minnow pattern) and they are crazy effective...Know what colors works best for each species red/pink rainbow ,blue/coho yellow/browns .It can be that simple and it really makes them mad and strike out of reaction..And know when they are nesting and feeding .And know when to get back off the creek bank we use 9-11' rods for gods sake.

Hi Scott! Yes it was and yes I did. Got lucky again, just hit it on the right day. Happy I was able to share with everyone. Hope you have a fun Winter fishing season. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello Alec! Yes, I know that Kelly Galloup tip, but seems I never remember when I’m getting all geared up, ha! Have a joyous holiday season and thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello Jeff! And happy holidays. I love the dry flies too, but gotta do what we gotta do to catch fish in the Winter. But trust me, if I see dimples for midges, I’m on it! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thank you very much Jerome! I hope you give the tandem rig a try, especially if you head up to the Delaware. Yes, was blessed with a super day, glad I was able to share with everyone. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Merry Christmas Bob! Nice to hear from you. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Happy new year Scott 💥 people that say that you can’t catch fish when it’s snowing or obviously wrong.😀

@ Hi Doug! Oh my, for me , just the opposite, I get very excited when I hear snow is coming, many great days out in the snow. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello Ed and happy holidays! Yes, I just timed it right that day. As far as my hands , after around 12 noon, I was ok, somehow I just got used to it even though it was still snowing. Glad you enjoyed the video. That is a special stream, was actually my best day there. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Merry Christmas brother! I hope you get a chance soon, just try to make it a day when it’s get over or around 32 degrees and very little wind. Good luck and have fun.

Hello buddy! I’m using a standard weight forward floating line, then a 50” Cutthroat Furled Shorty leader, then 5ft of 4x Flouro, then the tandem rig. Check out my video from the summer of ‘23 called, My Leader Setup, also my older video called, Nymphing Strategies Part 3, those I go into more detail about my leader and nymphing technique. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you. I'll give a shot.

Hi Keith! You so lucky, living that close to those waters up there. Great hatches up there too. One day I wanna try fishing at the junction of Pine and Little Pine, some day. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@pawoodsnwater7551 That's good wayer to I live just up the street from that.

Hi Doug! A good day to binge watch 👍🏻. A fun Summer morning, I can appreciate the challenge. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Rich! You’re welcome and my pleasure. Hope you have a joyous holiday season.

Thank you brother! You guys deserve it. Ha! Not often I make the right call at the beginning of the day, my last two short outings I actually got skunked. Happy Santa gave me my gift early to share with everyone. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Merry Christmas Brother! Ha! Honestly, the way I’ve been nymphing from the start, 50 years, I’ll suggest a couple of my videos, from the Summer of ‘23, my video called My Leader Setup, two older ones, Nymphing Strategies Part 3, and then the first ten minutes of my video Nymphing a Snowy Penns Creek, these three will explain my leader and my technique. Have a wonderful holiday season. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Hi Erik! Actually, hit the Tully earlier and got SKUNKED!! Fished it about two hours then gave up, not even a single hit. It happens 🤷‍♂️. Glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hey Mike! Some days , you just hit right, another being in the right place at the right time. I can appreciate all trout but those wilds do hold a special place. Hope you’re able to get out and wet a line soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Merry Christmas brother! Sure, Lackawaxen River, Lackawanna River, Tobyhanna Creek, not far from the Upper Delaware River and it’s branches, just go on the PA Fish and Boat Commissions website and look for adult trout stockings or wild trout waters, there’s an interactive map or you could search according to counties. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you Michael! You and your family too. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thank you brother! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Hey Sung! Merry Christmas! Oh man, I definitely wasn’t expecting a day like that! God is good! Hopefully see you up on the Delaware this coming year.

Another Christmas present to you all, nobody on the naughty list this year, ha! Thanks for watching and commenting and all your support.

Merry Christmas Big J! Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Hello Ray! You betcha! Have a great holiday. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Jim! I absolutely love the Gallatin! Very wadeable, easy access and tons of cooperative fish. Omg, we need the Sams in our world, especially to validate the ones that get away. Good story 👍🏻. Stay tune, new video coming out very shortly. Thanks for watching and commenting.

That’s awesome to hear Jim!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, stay tune, another good Winter video coming out shortly. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
