FLY FISHING for Walleye!

Fly Fishing for Walleye! This is something I've wanted to do for a while. When Coel told me the Walleye were shallow and hungry, I knew this would be one of my best chances of tangling with a few on the fly rod. What a fun evening!

[@codylamaar]

Caught my first walleye today on accident. An absolute monster. That’s what brought me to your video. Thanks

[@andydavis9816]

Any video with Jay and Walleye, I’ll drop everything to watch. Happy 4th, everyone from the states.

[@erikevensen3701]

Respect for sticking to the fly rod and not switching to gear. So, many guys that say I want to get into fly fishing bring their gear rod when they go out and when nothing is happening they switch back to gear and never truly "get into fly fishing".

[@rodmorris9690]

Thanks Jay and to the Mom n Pop, who let you fish their spot. God love them :)

[@nicholasschley]

Another great video, Jay! Keep up the good work!

[@MikeSmith-du9gh]

Great vid jay! Keep em coming!

[@konnerkenny8292]

Keep up the grind jay! It’s going to pay off big

[@SopaGrande]

Thanks for the fly rod/line/weight walkthrough!

[@Mrodconstruction]

Beauty walleyes Jay!!! Not bad for first fly rod trip!! Sweet private lake too.

[@Riverfirewood]

Just learning how to fly fish and I loved this video. Great tips and excellent edits as always!

[@JaySiemens]

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@Mymevan]

I need to get into this. Buddy was catching walleye on flies about 4 years ago at Pelican Lake just off Miami Beach.

[@chrisbraun11]

That's one way of fishing I wanna try one day! Great video man.

[@matttig]

Went for walleye last week, caught 1 tiny little guy. Wishing I was up north after watching this. ! Keep up the awesome content!

[@bud_light_living4923]

Love your videos, they make my day man!

[@brandenromero]

Dude you’re super informative on tips and the way it should feel! Nice video!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks branden! Hope the video helped you a bit!

[@Intimidator82]

Sweet video Jay. Today I went a little rogue as well. I took my centrepin rod and reel carp fishing and caught my first mirror carp, great fight on a pin reel!!

[@Lurtz14301]

Awesome catches Jay. Your kayak is sweet too.

[@randychappell5955]

I just started fly fishing ( at 63 ) I'm hoping to learn more from your video's? I subscribed, so I'll be watching more of your videos.

[@michaelschnoor7594]

Very cool,Beautifl walleye. Your a very skilled fly fisherman jay,could only imagine the fight you got from the bull redfish on the fly. Especially the one that snapped your rod!!

[@flippinoutdoors2429]

Always wanted to try this

[@Zzimung]

That's a really cool video. He's good at fishing, too.

[@edgarlopez-negrete1391]

Awesome video. Great energy and a total boost in moral. My nucanoe is arriving in 3 days and I’m going out in the fly for walleye in Ontario!!! Thx

[@JaySiemens]

Thats awesome! Good luck and stay safe on the water!

[@Levers103]

Nice video Jay! I’m a big fan of all of your videos. I’ve got a suggestion for you. What do you think about putting a GoPro in front of your fishfinder while you’re filming your video and then superimpose the fishfinder down the bottom corner of your video while the video is playing just so we can see what you’re seeing on the fishfinder. Kind of an educational tool. Just a thought… Again, really enjoy your videos, thanks a lot!

[@vevhat]

Nice video man....i never caught walleye that big ever....

[@jaredpoling3123]

Great video bud

[@marydesousa6659]

Nice work Jay - always entertaining - always fun to watch. I bought a floating kayak fishing net for Joey, it works great. Found it on Amazon...

[@JaySiemens]

Nice!

[@pincheafishing6694]

I love your videos, I love fishing

[@damonmacdonald1443]

Another great vid keep it up

[@MrsA062511]

Just fished for walleye this weekend up off of the Gunflint. Caught ten in about 15 minutes. It’s our secret lake! They were all perfect eating Size. My biggest one was 21”, so PERFECT eating.

[@benfisher8863]

Well we were just in grand Marais the last week, so this secret lake you speak of is where?? Lol

[@peirules154]

Tfo great Canadian company for fly rods. Just picked up and awesome 5wt Combo. Rod reel line case 265$. And if you break a section of your rod it’s only 30$ to replace the one section.

[@Bneumanns124]

TFO is American.

[@peirules154]

TFO Canada is Canadian owned and independent of any other tfo. So yes TFO Canada is a Canadian company

[@mackenzieneale499]

I saw you fishing on the lake my cottage is on, fly fishing in the same kayak.

[@joshsamuelson1793]

It never occurred to me to troll with a fly rod. Will have to try it next spring. Have a mouse fly I really want to try out. 6 weight rod I will put a 1x leader on. Should be a blast.

[@bradlaf7333]

Awesome video 🔥💪🏽🇨🇦

[@kcrainwater6674]

i’d give anything to come up there and catch some walleyes with Jay. he’s half the reason i have the know-how in order to find them and catch them all the way down here in Oklahoma.

[@JaySiemens]

❤️❤️❤️

[@forinfishing]

I just moved to Alberta with Zero Walleye experience. I stumbled across my first Walleye by accident while fishing a trout stream and even second guessed myself claiming it. I went back with my fly rod and nailed 5 of the things back to back stripping a streamer in 1 foot of water. That is my perception of them now. Voracious pack feeders.

[@michaelfournier3141]

Tulloch Engineering just did a legal survey out there 🤯🤯. That lake has amazing walleye 👍👍

[@s0berlin]

I think Jay called out his own challenge... Lockport cats on the fly rod!

[@minkmink410]

Yay

[@justin-db7hw]

I moved away from trout last year so I've been catching a lot of walleye/mooneye's and pike. I've only caught walleye's use streamers, even smaller guys ~10 inches will go for a 2-3 inch streamer. Mooneye's seem to go for dry flies sometimes and will go for a smaller nymphs. I find I catch a lot of walleyes right as the sun is setting, even into the dark they keep biting Good thing about fly fishing in areas where there's no trout is that very very few people fly fish so the fish havent seem your lures before so they don't know it's pointy

[@lukealbers7380]

What are the specs of the rod you were using ?

[@DonDoit]

Is this echo lake in northern Saskatchewan?

[@raydelossantos8329]

Left a like

[@joeydesousafishing1203]

8:50 jay channeled his inner manny lol

[@krishangomes989]

This was just a well made video

[@TradIrishHarper]

Maybe I missed it but what is the weight and length of the rod you are using for walleye?

[@rustyspoons9649]

Those are qaulity Walleye 👍

[@MNGuyinthepark]

You had my attention but now you have my interest

[@jonfuruseth6628]

[@fishnreidsflyfishing2055]

[@WiscoAngling]

Another awesome vid great job!!! What computer do you use for editing your videos?

[@JaySiemens]

I use a 27 inch iMac

[@WiscoAngling]

Jay Siemens sounds good!! Thank you!

[@jaredpoling3123]

I target different species of fish fly fishing anywhere from trout to bass large and smallies sunfish. I moved to Lancaster Pa and live close to the Susquehanna river. Do you have any tips for walleye? Like flies and line? I use an 8wt I. This river. I also wade don’t have a yak.

[@ncolberg031]

I would like to send you some steamers that I tie for you to try out. Do you have a po box or something like that to send them to?

[@pescaycocinaconelsinaloa742]
