Figure 8 Techniques with a Fly Rod - Musky Fool Fly Fishing Co.

Good advice for low water! Just missed a bunch in that situation last weekend.

[@muskyfoolflyfishing]

It's the toughest situation!

[@Keystoners]

It's getting absurd how many fish I've had close but couldn't get into the 8 this season. Hopefully this helps a little. Thanks!

[@muskyfoolflyfishing]

I hope it does. We are really good at getting them to follow with flies. They love it. Gotta do something to trigger them or rev them up baby!

How do you know Dan edited the video? The amount of engine revs in a fishing video are a dead giveaway!

[@muskyfoolflyfishing]

Hahahaha the funny thing is Dan is absolutely incapable of editing. Bambam is the mastermind! But yes, Dan makes bambam add cheesy sound effects. You nailed that part!

Do other species respond well to Figure Ate-ing. (Sorry, Dad pun).

[@muskyfoolflyfishing]

Ya know it's one of those things I don't know for sure. Don't see a lot of people figure 8ing for crappies or bass. My theory is Muskies are apex predators and either don't care/do what they want and/or they have learned they can find food wiggling on lines next to boats. I have seen other fish like trout and smallmouth eat boatside but not in a true figure 8. Like do a little but afaik it's really Muskies uniquely that will go around and around or eat blindly after multiple turns.
