"Dear friends, I come to you with a heavy message that I believe carries eternal significance. Without a savior, we face an eternity separated from God, destined for a place of deep suffering and anguish. The truth is, our sins separate us from the perfect and holy presence of God. But I bring you hope amidst this darkness. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, offers us a way of escape from this eternal suffering. He willingly bore the weight of our sins on the cross, enduring unimaginable agony so that we may find forgiveness and salvation. Please, consider the gravity of this message. The choice we make in this life determines our eternal destiny. Embrace Jesus as your savior and experience the incredible love, grace, and eternal life He offers. May the Holy Spirit stir your heart and guide you to the truth."

Just a Tip.. When using flies in fast water...Do Not put on a Split Shot. Cast upstream..let the fly drift naturally. The fast water will automatically suck the fly down into the strike zone.

[@Alexander-vm2ox]

just a cheap bobber and a fly, nothing fancy. that's nice. I like that ill have to try this

[@frederickjuneau7874]

Thank you for that tip

[@grandwonder5858]

"The fast water will automatically suck the fly down into the strike zone." ------------------------------------------- Even with a bobber?

[@jefflycan9147]

Thank you for this video. P.S. how did you know i was an addict?? Do you know my sister or something?

[@leongtoon62]

Hooking up with fish is just the icing, spending the day in such beautiful surroundings is what its all about.

[@SillyPick]

It's good to know that everyone has one of those fishing days. Thanks for staying positive 😉

[@flektarnskitzbird4785]

In about 30 outings I've only ever had 'those fishing days'

[@Starkchris]

Fall is almost here. can’t wait for the trout to return for a fishing session. In the northeast anyways

[@kazzmo1]

At least you keep it real, that’s why I like your channel!

[@BombedNevada]

Marlin sets the hook like a steelhead fisherman.

[@JustPlainAdventures]

I did a video on the epic trout magnet the periwinkle. You should try it. The fish love them and they stay a live in the water. You can find them in streams and rivers on rocks or logs. Take off the rocks near the head and pull it out.

[@Boosh663]

You guys have taught me so much. And it definitely DOES work.

[@MrBeefy-eg9ru]

I use a Pistol Pete with a slip-style water bobber. This works great for not getting caught on bottom (reeds, dirt), and for snagging those buggers that like to eat bugs near the upper water column. 1) I use a 5' mono leader for my fly line, and tie it to a barrel swivel. 2) From the barrel swivel , I throw a bead on, then water bobber (slip style) , then another bead. For this line make it about 6 - 8 inches. 3) Finish the line with loop or swivel, your preference, then connect to the main line. I just recently caught a 19" Rainbow Trout with this setup.

[@dr.froghopper6711]

We call those flies Pistol Pete’s. All different patterns work. Seems like dark colors work best here but we have lots of algae in the water.

[@wesleywillard]

This would be cool to see on big fish too. Whenever flys are used with spin gear, usually shown around smaller stuff. Works on biggns' too. Great video as always. I do appreciate you all making it, love this stuff.

[@TheFunPopo]

Really digging the new look to the vids!

[@clarkriccobuono3903]

Like your tutorials. I have fished for over 60 years and it's always fun to learn. Thanks KZbin

[@peterquynhle]

Thanks for sharing the tips and the text re the timing and no luck in catching fish in your video! Most videos I have seen people catching fish easily all the time while I do not, which was frustrating sometimes. It is good to see that it was not only skills but also luck that made a fishing day!

[@MessianicJudaism]

Part 2 woohoo I've been waiting for this.

[@campwardbound3513]

I will try this over the weekend in the Sierras. Thanks!

[@surgebot]

This is a very relatable fishing video. I enjoy the realism.

[@gavins5517]

Loved the video you guys are the best!!!

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Though I'm a fly fisherman..I have used this method hundreds of times, especially when I'm with friends that are not fly fishing. It's also an Awesome backpacking setup. An ultralight telescoping rod, flies, a bobber and a few weights.

[@ianhutchison2226]

Agreed. Coming from the other side, not a fly fisherman, but in Idaho this is a common lure setup. Telescopes all the way.

[@renatolaranja3834]

Not in my experience. Maybe downstream from the hatchery or where trout are fighting for everything that emerges. In super clear water and medium to heavy fishing pressure it’s just not gonna work. Trust..

[@ianhutchison2226]

@@renatolaranja3834 Well, I've had this method work. Must admit I generally only use a bobber if the river is impossible to bounce in the bottom from constant snags.

[@briancarbajal5685]

Really effective caught a couple lighting trouts with this ...big thank you 👍

When the bobber sinks just lightly pull up somewhat quickly. #DontbeMarlin😂😂😂

[@erik9151]

I’ve learned so much from your guys videos keep it and thank you!

[@collinmc90]

one of my favorite ways of catching fish is a fly on a spinning rod! I have walked through log jams on a lake and literally just dropped the fly on the surface and watched those brook trout come a runnin boy!

I feel like he is setting that hook waaay too hard for some small trout.

Thanks for info Marlin. I have been using this technique for years and it crushes trout in streams.

Love the tutorials on this channel, now I just need to get on the water

[@tonganfisherman]

Great video and thank you for sharing!

[@DaddyDookie]

Fly fisherman, love y'alls content even if I don't spin fish for trout. Best results for this kind of fishing is going to be fishing what we call nymphs or soft hackles. Best choice for flies are gonna be Copper Johns, Hare's Ears, Pheasant tails, and flashy fellas like the rainbow warrior. Buy tungsten beadhead versions and you can forego the split shot below the bobber entirely which makes it better to cast and fish dead drift. Most rivers in Washington allow double nymph rigs so use a very small diameter fluorocarbon tied with a fishermans knot to shank of a bigger fly, about 18 inches below put a smaller fly of a different pattern. Good luck out there

[@HungryH1951]

Years ago I went on a long hike into a lake in Olympic mountains WA state. Camped at a lake for 3 days and tried spinners, spoons, salmon eggs, etc. Couldn't get a bite but could see nice sized rainbows swimming by. Finally on the last day we got some sunshine and I got a brain storm to remove the fly from a rooster tail spinner and throw it out there with a bobber. Slammed! Caught about 5 trout in 20 minutes then the sun went down and called it a day. Flies were the ticket. This technique stayed with me and yes, fly and bobber will take trout and some other fish as well.

[@daleflanders5114]

Thanks for the tip it helps

[@tylerjb3]

Let’s goo noti squad. Thanks adx

[@beebob1279]

The demonstration was great. You and everyone else needs to learn the types of flies that are on those waters to be successful.

[@Bleakhouse7]

Thanks you guys, going to try that method

[@michaelcoleman4700]

Once we get some good rain, the summers from the river that creek dumps in to will be at that spot😍

[@chrisdowers3392]

keep up the good content guys

[@MessianicJudaism]

I'll try this rigging out at Mayfield Lake early in the morning. Lots of giant trout jumping between 5:30AM to 9AM. Can't wait to try it. Thank you for this video.

[@baconwhiskey1880]

Those pistol Pete's are severely underrated. I like to set up above the hole with them and put a split shot on my line and then just let it spin in the hole kinda like plunking.

[@erik9151]

I do it just a little bit different. I put a clear bobber full of water in between two swivels then a 2ft liter. This is great for fishing lakes with a lot of vegetation

[@bennettrogers3862]

Gonna try this with my daughter this weekend!

[@markoberlatz1248]

There are 2 major types of flies. Dry flies which float in the surface and wet flies which sink. Popular wet flies include nymph flies like the hare’s ear nymph or bead head pheasant tail nymph. Both are general imitation flies and my go to nymphs. Caught hundreds of trout on both.

[@stevengregory7696]

Good vid ty

[@tammykeith5909]

some days are just like that and when someone is watching even more so better luck next time

[@SometimesTurtle]

Lol dude, so relatable...I casted the same dang spot 10 ways wrong today before I got it, and was almost confused with myself tbh.

[@KimberlyEakin]

I feel your pain. We have a foamy place in the creek I fish in and I have a hard time getting it WAY over there to the foamy area and then, hard to set hook if I get a bite. Going to try your setup. Thanks!!

[@niroshanakukulewa3099]

Thank you so much

[@ZZZer00]

Awesome, don't forget some dry shake if you using a dry fly to keep it on the surface. This method is even better than fly fishing, especially with a water bobber to get some big distance if on a lake! Fly fishing is fun but hard for beginners, this is the perfect crossover

[@TedDBear9431]

I have had very good success with Pistol Petes and actually any dry/ wet/ streamer fly, but not on the stream. Next time I will be sure to employ your techniques. Last week I went to Pyramid Lake to try to tempt a LCT to hit some large Pistol Pete's I have and I'm pretty sure I need to set my leader longer like 6-7 feet. One of my bucket list items. Love the videos'!

[@LokiLures]

Woolly Worm

[@jasonschilling4922]

Liked the video Marlin. You could also learn how to fly fish and present flies in a more natural manner. But whatever works! Keep fishing!!!

[@jfowler7604]

Thanks for this vid. I spin and fly fish but haven't tried to fish a bubble fly setup in a stream. I live in the Sierras so gonna try it. I think I'll also add a no knot type fly clip so that switching flies is a snap (pun)

[@pogifishing1979]

Use the current with that pistol pete..it has a spinner for a reason

[@WoodenFishh]

Can I make a request that when you make videos on small creeks you ask your audience to pinch their barbs? These tiny trout get really beaten up when inexperienced anglers struggle to pop a barbed hook. It's easy enough to land a fish on barbless and it keeps fish count up on small water.

[@terrykrugii5652]

Hey, aspiring trout fisherman here (I say aspiring cuz in the few times I went out, got skunked lol). I've been directed to a few small creeks in my mission to catch trout, and I had never considered the idea that the barb might actually be really bad for the fish! Considering that, in all due likelihood, I'm gonna be catching and releasing them... improving their survival odds is gonna be a more pressing concern. Thank you for this.

[@willyeo43]

Hey addicts we started fishing this with a shrimp fly for sea trout in pei and we caught fish over 2 to 5 pounds and bigger so thanks again

[@hunter0611]

You guys have to come up to Canada for some brook trout

[@bijan426]

Videos like this are much closer to how real life is

[@davidmarklein]

We used to fish a #14 adams this way in 80s, in Colorado along the dredge pools for native brookies... worked great

[@michaelcoleman4700]

What i use is a 5 ft 6 lb floro leader from my mainline and on the end of the leader a dry fly. Than like 2-3 ft above that a single small splitshot. I basically side drift it and sometimes i will kinda twitch it

[@pnwriverfisher]

There’s one fly and one fly only you need to get ahold of for trout/summer Steelies under a float: the Squirmy Wormy. It absolutely destroys trout (compared to other nymphs and bugger type flies I’ll get about double the hookups.) Walmart won’t have em since their kinda a specialty but you can find them at a fly shop usually or definitely online. I’ll even tie some up and mail them to you just hit me up!

[@deannelson2316]

Pistol Pete. Ginger is my favorite color. Great fly lure combo

[@naturalverities]

As I learn to fish for trout, I've come to suspect that trout are not only visually line-shy but also tactilely so. If you watch videos of trout underwater in streams you see them tasting all kinds of stuff lightning-fast, and most of those would not even come close to translating as a hit to a heavy split-shot, then visibly moving a bobber, before it's all over and done, especially if the trout feels the mass or resistance with its mouth. So I rig with the attempt to minimize the mass and slack between me and the fish, and try to keep the proverbial tight line to feel a soft take and/or keep an eagle eye for a change in the droop of the line to go for a hook set. With a fly rod, that looks more or less like "euro-nymphing" and has worked very well for me; with a fly and bubble, that could perhaps be accomplished with a slip-bobber and a bobber stop to maintain a minimum leader length to the bobber. Jury's out on the latter, but it's looking encouraging so far.

[@mryouno5552]

Good video!

[@williamklein6749]

Suggestion for content. Tie a fly and catch a fish on it. Buy a cheap fly tying vice and bobbin. Watch a few videos on tying a "hares ear nymph". Buy only the materials you need. Video tying the nymph. Catch a fish. People would love this video.

I fish with bubble bobbers and flies in the locale reservoir. 60% of the time the trout hit or play with the bobber and ignore the fly. 🤣 5:18 Looked like a bobber hit.

[@conormccall923]

5:59 If there were horse flies around I would assume yes. (Not a fly fisherman just assuming from my experience.

[@BombedNevada]

Flies are killer where I fish and a spin rod is a whole lot cheaper than a fly rod.

[@lets_fish_already_9345]

A nice cheap way to get into fly fishing is buy a vintage fiberglass rod my favorite rod I bought for less than 10$ and you can buy a cheap martin model 60 to 63 for less than 15$ cheap fly line is 12$ or less. It's all just matter of looking and slowly easing into fly fishing never start out buying a 200$ rod and a 150$ reel all fly reels are for is holding line so the reel doesn't matter too much.

[@SometimesTurtle]

So, first trip to a decent place where people don't seem to fish as well, and every single cast I was getting big bites on both a spinner and a bobber and fly, I'm new to this mind you, and it was non stop...so...I would say my inclination on stonefly nymphs was a good one, stonefly's are eeeeeverywhere in Oregon, and I just knew they must be the #1 snack of trout. I did get 2 steelhead or big ones btw, or at least, they would qualify, but only like a 15 inch and a 20 incher, and a third that was similar but got away before I could look. But, in that particular spot, I should have had like 10-20 large trout, no joke. I need help setting the hook on bobber down! =(

[@SledorFish]

Get yourself some stone flies in various sizes and you will be set for most trout and even summer steelhead using this method.
