There are fly tying channels, and fly fishing channels.. but I don't know of any others who do both in one vid. Keep it up! !

[@peelindrag113]

I appreciate the feedback! I got the idea from a viewer last year, and it seems to work out well!

[@Benjamin-S]

Peelindrag it’s awesome

[@chickenfriedfishin]

Incredible Fly making technique! Killer N,Pikes to boot! Just always love your videos dude!

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it!

[@iancameron1662]

Peelindrag beautiful flies your tying anyway to get you to send one of the red and white to an oldman

[@Neonatas]

You’re tying has exploded nice variant of the deliveryman! Awesome stuff! Keep it up regards Rasmus from Sweden

[@peelindrag113]

I've had lots of time to work on it! Many more tying videos to come

[@Benjamin-S]

Wow, awesome fly

[@BasicFishingNZ]

haha far out the pike flies look so sick.

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks man!

[@jacobpattersonfilms]

Dude you are a master fly tier! Nice work!

[@user-uo3oh3zm2x]

*Excellent selection especially for the newer angler. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s entire assortment looks to be tied well. Looking forward to getting them wet...*

[@deadcenterfilms]

I love this Video! Bad ass fly and technique!! Thank you for the advice on the UP Joshua!

[@MAx-zp8bi]

Most excellent fly tying at the start, that is how to get it done.

[@claytonweaver8319]

Awesome video! Really enjoyed the fly tying and fishing together.

[@peelindrag113]

I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully it helps people learn some solid patterns.

[@castawayuk]

Sweet session l

[@rehorst180]

Fun watching your fishing experiences. It holds me over until my next time out.

[@peelindrag113]

I'm glad they can help!

[@stewoutdoors3020]

Definitely an incredible video. I knew you could do it. Reverse tie 50/50 and a 70/30. I am paying attention. Well done.

[@peelindrag113]

I've been doing a lot of practice! I'm glad you liked it.

[@bradygamble214]

Will love to see more fly tying episodes from you.

[@riverdriftflyfishing1831]

Love the enthusiasm, nice video, keep up the good work!!

[@DONBGWEST]

Awesome video as always Dude. You can certainly see your fly tying skills are improving FAST 👊👌

[@peelindrag113]

It sure is fun! Spending lots of time at the vice.

[@braydennicemarshall6460]

You are my favourite KZbinr

[@liverpoolnrf8]

Bro you’re truly an inspiration! I like to see a young gun like you do this. Fun stuff keep it up!

[@peelindrag113]

Noel my number one fan!

[@Grind4Slime]

Really are nailing pikes on streamers around the area! Nice work Josh! Making me want to pick up a fly rod for the first time ever!

[@peelindrag113]

If you ever get the chance I'd definitely suggest it! Tons of fun.

[@philthedude]

Very nice work man. The only thing I would suggest when tying your flies(granted I’ve seen it happen but I’ve never had it happen to me) is run the articulation through the eye of the front hook when tying down your wire. It will prevent the wire from slipping out and leaving you with a single hook fly.

[@flyfishingchannel]

Yeah white body and red head are my best opinion for pike 😉

[@skylarl5545]

Fly fishing for pike is SO fun. This spring has been a skunk for me though, which sucks because im moving down south and wont have an opportunity for them for a while. The delivery man is a sick pattern... all of his are though. The unholy diver is another one of my favs, and almost all of my pike flies are based off of the delivery man or the aino. Amazing tier that guy. You're getting very good at tying yourself. Love the videos man keep it up! Try getting some double barrel popper heads and tie them in reversed for a diver effect. Fun fly topwater there!

[@peelindrag113]

Hopefully you can get a few before you go down south! Andreas sure has some cool patterns. I'll check out the popper heads, thanks for the suggestion!

[@Matt-mb5vr]

Pike on the fly. Great video man. That fly would work great for stripers!

[@mitchellwolfe5201]

Dude that edit for the fly tying was killer!

[@precisionanglingYT]

Awesome job!

[@tommilbury9195]

Killer video man your river pike vids are my favorite

[@peelindrag113]

Mine too! Thanks for watching, Tom!

[@chrome_is_gold]

I don't know if I'm the only one but I'd like to see more fly tying vids. Good job on the vids.

[@guybaumgartner4244]

nice fly very véry good fishing

[@erichdeitsch3931]

Definetly post more fly fishing videos I’m a huge fan of them!

[@peelindrag113]

You bet! Thanks for the feedback

[@mlevesque33]

Apply the glue all the way through to the hook shank. It will help keep the eyes on for a longer period of time.

[@jagmeet97]

Love your fly-fishing videos man

[@peelindrag113]

Many more to come!

[@fishingmasterawesome]

I love fly fishing. I love pike. Now if only the fishing gods would let me catch a fly pike already.

[@AnthonyTorres-bg5ou]

Nice looking fish bro! Looks like good times

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks Anthony! It sure was.

[@Ruynu]

Great job man! I love the full experience video! To top it off, you'll also need to build your rod too!. :)

[@peelindrag113]

It'll probably be a while till I build any rods.. maybe eventually though. I'm sure that'd be lots of fun!

[@davidbranquinho4796]

Great videos bud. Your fly tying is also very impressive. DflySa South Africa

[@pistolwip]

tying your own flies... nice video!

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks man!

[@realjimmywillis]

Nice videos! All the best, Jimmy Willis

[@spg77777]

incongruity has been taken to a new level.

[@jamesonpriddy4344]

you inspired me to start fly fishing nice work

[@xexoticx5748]

Wow , love to see the builtpart.

[@jeffharris3865]

Awesome, love those flies. Big bass lure as well. Think it would be great if you hooked some big red fish in south Texas. I'm sure Texas Redfish Hunter could hook you up. He has a channel, they sight fish alot. You make watching so exciting, perfect hook size. This was more fun than top water and I will vote fly next time

[@peelindrag113]

That sounds like a lot of fun! Unfortunately I don't get to travel out of state much, but I'll check that out! And I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

[@christophsarcher6240]

amazing videos dude, keep going!

[@zeroedinwithzeke4059]

Yea! I need some more flies for these big south ga bass! These guys spooled my 6 wt. getting and 8 or 9

[@juliusjames9244]

Really enjoy the fly tying and then fishing it! Hmm.... maybe a set of flies tied by peelin himself for a giveaway one of these days.

[@peelindrag113]

That's a great idea! Maybe I'll try something like that eventually.

[@picklefrickendill3787]

Bro I love your videos, keep it up and more videos like this please! Love yuh man!

[@peelindrag113]

More tying videos to come for sure! I'm glad you liked it!

[@jameshughes9234]

awesome sir keep it up mate

[@danilosteinke]

Nice man, beautiful streamer, congrats from brazil

[@mikaelrantaoutdoors]

Awesome dude! If you can, you should try for some brook trout. Tried for the first time this past week and glad I made the jump. Just find some small creeks with riffle structure and throw some small spinners and you'll be set

[@peelindrag113]

I'd love to do that sometime! Hopefully I can find some creeks that have them!

[@mikaelrantaoutdoors]

Good luck man! If you ever swing by the U.P. give me a shout and I'll put you on some spots

[@kristiand2973]

Awesome man

[@opethiroth111]

I don't even fly fish but found the time lapse footage of you making the fly pretty damn awesome. Great vid man 👍

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks for the feedback! I love watching them as well.

[@Benjamin-S]

Donald King start! A good fighting fish on a flyrod is just something else!

[@opethiroth111]

Benjamin S I have some great holes to catch smallmouth in thatd be perfect for fly fishing. I wouldn't know where to start.

[@Benjamin-S]

Donald King well some goldhead-weighed streamers wouldn’t be wrong and a class 6/7 or 7 flyrod with either floating or intermediate line. Also diameter 0,20-0,25 leaders would suit this kind of fishing.

[@opethiroth111]

Benjamin S I appreciate the info man. None of that makes sense to me but google is my friend.

[@FlyRiderFishing]

you could use a stripping basket, mate! nice video and beautiful fish!

[@thomashaight8915]

love ur vids man

[@user-rw6hq8mf9u]

Nice vid, Josh

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks man!

[@cloutdoors8481]

Great video great tying

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks man!

[@markthelark00]

Awesome vid man keep it up!

[@peelindrag113]

You bet! Thanks for watching

[@jonhay75]

Nice vice skills dude.

[@buckeyebassintv2190]

👊 nice fish bub..

[@inzanelfacherito294]

Good fly bro

[@markrohling7806]

I enjoy your vedios.

[@BryceHasquet]

Lock tight is the best

[@joshuavanscoyk9404]

Hey man your videos are awesome, I was wondering for us new fly casters and tyers, could you do some videos on how to cast a fly rod and what not? Keep it up man I love watching your stuff.

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks man, I don't have any casting videos but here is a great video by Orvis. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmnMlZdqoMyLj5Y

[@Dinobp90]

Good job, tell me what most common materials you use for tying big streamers ?

[@boogieboogilly3470]

awesome video bro...keep it up

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks man! I'll try my best

[@THESPORTINGCAMP]

Great videos! Thank you.

[@bigtimegoblin]

I use the same scissors for tying they’re awesome and cheap!

[@ThePulzeGamer]

I have that fly myself in a tube version :D

[@djdodgejason01]

Love the video

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks Nick!

[@rogerioeduardopescaesporti970]

🤝 show , Rogério 🇧🇷

[@Clintonde]

Dude, this video was awesome! What are you using for a leader? I loved seeing you tie your flies and then use them in the same video!

[@peelindrag113]

I often times buy leaders that already have a wire tippet attached. But I also have some tieable wire called knot2kinky which is very durable and doesn't curl up. The only down side is it takes some practice to be able to tie knots with it.

[@calebsmith1259]

Cool vid

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks Caleb!

[@chrisbarbosa1815]

Get the savage gear snake! I would love to see a video using that

[@dirtsmiles8098]

Nice job, it doesn’t get much better than making your own lure and then catching fish with it. Do you think the first pike was hit by a boat prop?

[@peelindrag113]

It's possible, but you wouldn't be able to take a motorized boat through these rivers. The pike could have gotten injured in a lake or larger river then traveled here though.

[@coryrockwell8864]

Geez, I'm missing out bigtime in Maine. Pickerel don't even run the rivers here. To my knowledge, the only place pike/muskies run the river are on the St.John. However, that's a good thing for the brook trout and salmon population even though the smallmouth populations really taking over too much. All the good deep holes in the rivers that used to hold big trout and landlocked salmon now hold big smallies, which sucks because I like fishing for them more than bass. Bass are fun and all, but when they aren't a native species they really mess with an ecosystem. Maine's not really known for big smallies, but it should be since I caught a multitude of 3-4lb and even 5lb fish last summer on my local river.

[@peelindrag113]

Man I'm sorry to hear that. Pike would definitely push out trout in the rivers.. hopefully the trout and salmon can make a come back eventually!

[@coryrockwell8864]

They just might man. The state has no bag limit on all smallmouth this season, so hopefully people take part in that. They did it with pickerel a few years back when they started getting massive(25" average on my local lake), so maybe this will help!

[@keales9564]

Great video, I'm new to fly tying.is this what they call an articulated fly? Is the resin enough to catch GT's? (Giant Trevally)

[@andyyc12]

very cool! where did you get the rig at for tying flys? can you use other lures on it as well?

[@jacobtjarks6570]

Love you vids

[@aegiDiusMrChef]

1:39 i'll recommend u too put the wire the whole way true the hook eye, bend it 180 and tie it on both sides, nice video :)

[@jorgemoreno8067]

Hola, buen video, me he animado ha atar una de esas moscas, me gusta tu patrón de montaje, muy sencillo y eficiente, buen trabajo. Por aqui tengo muy pocos lucios, pero me animo a intentarlo, pienso que con esa mosca me llevará a conseguir , espero, alguna captura, un cordial saludo desde la España del Sur.

[@MrSjcod]

You got talent man!!!!!!! Very nice tie! Ever try a stripping basket? Keeps your line nice and untangled in front of you. Just saying.

[@peelindrag113]

I've thought about using one, but just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe eventually I'll pick one up

[@user-eo2li3gx1p]

Отлично, парень!

[@joonaslerone8781]

Oii first like first comment

[@johndiez2746]

This may have been answered already but why when finishing the head was there two parts of craft fur and only one on the bottom

[@neorider1000]

Hi Can you publish a list of materials used?

[@austinsohlfs1806]

Is the stuff in the bottle glue ? And then does the uv light set the fibers in the feathers ? Please make like a 5-10 min video explaining the basics thank you, been watching for over a year

[@peelindrag113]

You pretty much got it. It's a liquid in the bottle, but hardens immediately when in contact with the UV light. It's often put on the end of the fly to seal the thread together or in my case, keep the craft fur facing the direction I wanted. I'm glad you've stuck around! Many more videos to come.

[@zackkeller6818]

I have been fly fishing for a little over a year now, but I have not gotten into fly tying yet. Do you have any recommendations or advice for me to start fly tying? It looks really fun to make your own flies and then catch fish on it!

[@peelindrag113]

Look up a bunch of tying videos on youtube, then pick a few patterns you like and keep tying them over and over until you like how it looks. It takes a while, and at first the flies probably won't look too great. But once you start to get the hang of it you'll pick up on it quickly.

[@zackkeller6818]

Peelindrag thx bro I appreciate you helping!💪🏼👊🏼

[@zackkeller6818]

Peelindrag I have another question, what kits or supplies do you recommend me to buy for fly tying?

[@peelindrag113]

Most vices in the $100 range are pretty good quality, but if your just starting out and don't want to spend a lot you can get away with cheaper ones. I haven't tried out any fly tying kits myself, but if you just want to get the hang of it and tie up some basic patterns a kit is probably the way to go. You can always upgrade from there if you end up really enjoying it.

[@e4t662]

Yes, awesome. Swear to god I’d buy your flies if I could! Hmm..

[@peelindrag113]

Maybe someday I'll have that as an option!

[@alexandredasilvaford6211]

Show 👍👍👍👍👍

[@precisionanglingYT]

Ever throw a Top water popper fly for Pike ???

[@peelindrag113]

I have a little bit, but not too much. Definitely something I'll be doing this summer though.

[@MatthewMiller716]

Have mostly fished for bass since I began fishing. Moving to Washington in the near future.. Any recommendations for getting into/learning fly fishing?

[@peelindrag113]

Going to small ponds or places with lots of easy to catch fish helps a lot. You can practice your casting, and catching fish while doing it boosts your confidence.

[@johncady8]

good to show materials used

[@ludvigpb3438]

0:30, what did you do to your hand dude??

[@peelindrag113]

Got my finger a little to close to a pike's mouth..

[@ludvigpb3438]

Peelindrag, ok, yeah you really gotta watch your fingers around these guys. Btw you really made my day by replying. Thank you!

[@alexmmh4051]

A class 456 rod is good for pike and perch? I use it only for chub and trout but i want to try for bigger fish... Idk if my rod can do it..

[@bajungasam7389]

so it seams like the seaducer type of fly works goood for pike

[@cooleyschrider]

Hey, what kind of hackle are you using? Like brand and package size? They are very long and I’m looking to tie for smallmouth fishing this fall so I really would like to have something like that to add to them.

[@peelindrag113]

I don't have the original packaging so I don't know all that information unfortunately. But they are just called grizzly saddle hackles. You should be able to find that at most fly shops.

[@cooleyschrider]

Peelindrag well I appreciate it, thanks for getting back to me.

[@colechassie3172]

I’m super late to the chat but do you remember what feathers you used?!

[@acorn9934]

Where do you get all your supplies, catalog order, how about some info..one stop shop..

[@peelindrag113]

I don't normally buy fishing gear online because I like to see it in person first. Typically I just stock up whenever I'm out near a fly shop.

[@mikedoucette99]

Don't know if this has been asked, what vice are you using??

[@iancameron1662]

You said you were walking up stream vs down stream any reason why ?????

[@peelindrag113]

When you walk through rivers you often stir up the sediment on the bottom. If your walking up stream everything flows behind you, but if your walking downstream all that sediment is going to be infront of you going into the spots you want to fish.

[@parkhee_6748]

Where do you buy your fly tying materials?

[@alexmmh4051]

Hy, i have 5/6 wt combo and 5wt line, why i can't cast streamers like yours? Evem half like you use in this video... They just don't fly...

[@peelindrag113]

For throwing larger pike streamers most people use 8 or 9wts. 5wt line won't be able to carry a heavy streamer as well.
