DRiFT Presents: An Evening With Kelly Galloup

[@alexhendrick8288]

My dad always said " boy youre standing where you outta be fishing" so this is spot on.

[@FT4Freedom]

Kelly's Streamer Encyclopedia. Few will understand the generosity of knowledge he gives. Thanks Kelly.

[@rickbobrick6573]

Kelly looks, speaks, and acts like he is a normal human being. Make no mistake about it, Galloup is a visitor from a higher dimension. Cherish every word and burn his wisdom into the fishy part of your brain.

[@michaelogden5958]

Dang!!! I've watched a lot of Kelly's videos, but this one is OUTSTANDING!

[@paulbugeja5425]

Tremendous! Kelly is such a great wealth of information on the topic of fly fishing. So very interesting!

[@vjaldere2]

Man is a genius. Thanks to everyone involved in this. Special thanks to Sir Kelly. I no longer will hope for my trophy brown, I’ll hunt it.

[@stewmatter2287]

Kelly is one of the coolest fly fishin dudes I've met. Absolutely a stand up dude that's funnier than hell.

[@westernoutdoors7736]

Wait is he a stand up dude though?

[@westernoutdoors7736]

I’m playing haha he really is 😁

[@stewmatter2287]

[@KenGerathsDuck]

A true statement if I've ever read one! I can't wait to go back and talk with him again this summer.

[@darrellriley]

Most amazing most amazing videos I've seen on fly fishing I'm just getting started (learning to fly fish) I just listening to your knowledge and wisdom I can't wait to give it a shot there's a lot more to it than I thought lot more specially learning how to read the water I believe like you said that's a big factor in catching the big ones

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Talk all you want!! Most people are suffering from diminished attention spans and a over confidence in their expertise. Listening to a real expert talk about the details of your trade makes them realize just how little they actually know...its good for them.

[@sasquatch-7416]

As a rapala man. This seems to be the fly technique most suitable for my learning curve to fly fishing. I'm stoked.

[@charlesmurray1220]

Wow! Thank you Mr. Galloup and you guys who brought him to us.

[@glencamblin]

Always set aside an hour of my Montana annual trip inthe middle of the day to swap stores with Kelly. He doesn't just talk fishin and is always as genuine of a guy as u will ever meet.

[@robgrubb420]

this was so so great. thanks kelly great interview.

[@briggs13a]

The important thing about fishing a jerkbait is to snap the lure drag free,dont pull the lure snap it.I am 60 and am going to start fishing these big streamers this year,trying to learn and try it.I have fished spinners,jigs,dryflys,bass,ice,everything my whole life,i have never really fished streamers.I am retired in wyoming abd fish almost everyday ,i am excited for my first fall fishing sex dungeouns.I started watching kelly 2 years ago and love his videos.Rick clunn was my idol before,a great fisherman as is kelly.

[@jonathanayres7789]

Fab video. Cant wait to hit the lake with this new knowledge

[@markevans1127]

Thank you Kelly and drift really good info.

[@NathanCampbellGuitarist]

Any chance the video clips that were not able to be played in the presentation are available somewhere?

[@kevinbachus5887]

Came across this excellent video. I looked on your website to find the videos that Kelly could not show in this presentation and could not find them. Did you ever post them on your website?

[@sasquatch-7416]

Greatest dude around. Thanks for the video

[@joeg5414]

52:40 - I learned this because I kept catching fish whenever I was screwing around getting something out of my vest. I finally realized it's because I was moving my fly around more. For the longest time I was thinking I shouldn't move my nymphs with the rod. Once I started bouncing them around more... I doubled the number of fish I catch. I'm in Colorado. Mostly fish the Animas, San Juan in Pagosa Springs, Rio Grande.

[@mattier3030]

This was a treasure trove of info. Wow.

[@charlesmurray1220]

And how do we "move that fly" (streamer) with our rod tip? What's the technique to practice? The how-to?

[@alexhendrick8288]

I usually twitch my rod tip at end of my retrieve as well as jerk the rod towards me nit to my side. Pull the butt end toward your arm pit. Hard to explain. Try it out on th water to see what moves you fly the most. Also try different leader lengths to get more movement out of the big flies. Some like lap dancer need slightly longer leader same with zoo cougar. But the deceiver and danger and boogeyman man don't need as long. 3 ft to 4ft on sinknline. Floater on small creek use dungeons on nine foot leader also peanut on 9 ft

[@Belbivdevoe]

One thing he failed to mention (unless I missed it) was that a fish will almost never chase a fly into the sun

[@bs5am]

Can you explain a little more what you mean by this? I have a feeling I do this all the time 😂

[@Belbivdevoe]

@@bs5am fish are just like people they don't want to be vulnerable. Any steelhead guide will tell you to pick the side of the river that would have you swing the fly away from the sun. It's like driving with the sun in your eyes it gives you that unsettled feeling and impaired vision. Hence why steamer fishing is always better on cloudy days. This mostly is for swinging steelhead flys but you will see more success following this general rule

[@garriemchale5788]

I guess you missed the part about him preferring to fish at night for the big, decent and clever Trout. Im also guess at night it doesn't matter which side you fish from as the sun just isn't out. There's always one eh, I wonder if he worked that one out 🥰

[@Belbivdevoe]

@@garriemchale5788 he also didn't mention how extremely dangerous it is to fish on a river at night. So hard pass for me.

[@garriemchale5788]

@@Belbivdevoe Take some buddies or family and be prepared or miss out then...✌️❤️

[@marclawson7552]

Great stuff and a wealth of knowledge. However, his lion analogy maybe goes too far. Sure lions will often feed at night but they like most predators are absolute opportunists. They will eat anytime prey possibly comes by, day or night.
