Jay: A bobber by any other name is a bobber. Love your videos. No bullshit.

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

Yes But I still like calling it Drift management device

[@gordonenglish521]

Love that section of river. Caught my first Steely there! I also use that same rod. It’s a good one for that application. Learn something new about the bobbers and tubes. Great video overall thanks!

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

Thank you for all your videos. I appreciate your approach to fishing for these steelhead. I've been a fly fisherman for many decades, terrible getting old, and used to over complicate it. If you are a nymph or streamer fisherman for trout, you can fish for steelhead, just size things up a little. Though many times it's the same flies. Keep up the great work.

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

You bet

Jay, love your in-depth videos. What line are you using with your switch rods for your indicator fishing?

As always, very informative. What brand of waist waders are you wearing with the pockets?

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

the waders Brand is paramount. An Inexpensive Expensive Waders is Holding up To a lot of use credibly well

[@warrenkolodziejski863]

Jay question on 2 handed rods for salmon and steelhead is there a length and rod weight that would handle both salmon and steelhead. Would 7 weight 13 footer be versatile enough for both salmon and steelhead or do you prefer a shorter rod in the 11 foot range.

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

a 7wt 13 foot would just fine. However if I was going to have just one rod. I would go With a 11 foot 8 wait. for The flexibility of a switch rod. In eight wait can't handle The heavy tips and hire water.

[@warrenkolodziejski863]

@@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing thanks for the response how about reel recommendations I picked up a 11'9" 7 wt

[@SeaSlider33]

Just out of curiosity what size shot do you use ? How far from the fly do you prefer to attach the shot? Thanks Tight lines

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

shot size Will vary depending on water, About 36 inches from the fly.

[@Flyfish406]

Do you ever have floating weeds get wrapped around that drift management device and dislodge it from the tubing?

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

no not, where use theme

[@GarySteinmiller]

Can you describe your favorite method for setting the hook on a Steelhead using these egg fishing techniques. Is there a method that you prefer and increases you landing ratio? Thanks for all you guys do.

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

Yes I can

[@steingm]

Looking forward to it. I need to increase my hooking to landing numbers. @@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing

[@GarySteinmiller]

Looking forward to your method

What glasses do you have?

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

What is more important than the glasses, Is the color of the lenses are. copper lenses

[@williamandrews4465]

You're Euro nymphing!

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]
