Fly Fishing with the MOST EFFECTIVE STREAMER PATTERN!? || TIE AND CATCH EP. 1

[@hardmanfishing]

Let me know if you like this style of video! If y'all like it we can make an entire series around this concept.

[@minnerisland0889]

I really liked this concept maybe you could do this with nymphs and dries ???

[@michaelgellenoncourt2876]

I love this kind of videos! I find it really interesting to see how other fly fishermans build their flies and fish them! Being able to see the entire thought process is really interesting! Can't wait to see this paired with dries on alpine lakes!! Keep the amazing work and videos, each time a have that sweet sweet satisfying feeling when I get the notification of your new video! Well done!

[@hardmanfishing]

@@michaelgellenoncourt2876 Thank you!!

[@hardmanfishing]

@@minnerisland0889 We'd definitely do all sorts of flies!

[@Highrockoutdoors47]

Yeah great idea

[@antoniomora1255]

At 19:30 what a stunning specimen with such an amount of red spot!. And that beautiful powerful rainbow…what a fishing day in that gorgeous river!

[@jaydunbar2034]

Yes sir really enjoyed it all , keep on tying and flying , it goes hand in hand with those of us who like the science behind trout fishing , very well done 👍

[@troutowl]

Great concept. There's nothing better then catching a fish on a fly you tied yourself.

[@hardmanfishing]

You got that right! Thanks for watching

[@douglasrysewyk9045]

Nothing like seeing a West Virginia man on the river with a fly rod. Streamer Flys do work wonders.

[@michaelsmith7193]

How to tie / how to fish the fly - great formula! Gorgeous fish and river! Always enjoy these adventures you share - thank you again!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

[@stevedavis4087]

This was an incredible video I love the idea of the tie and fish style. The best part of it was talking about how you use it and discussing quickly the setup you're working with. Andrew you and John have done an incredible job these past few years I constantly look forward to your new videos and the fact that you're in two different areas of the country make this very special. Keep 'em coming!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!!

[@natelee6778]

Wow Andrew makes an awesome video! He shows us his set-up which fly even how to tie it! Great fishing too, Andrew please make more videos like this.

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm glad you enjoyed!! More will be coming!

[@northeasternfly]

Great job guys!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Awesome video! Great fishing day

[@BB-bv6uq]

I really appreciated the tying of the fly. Then sharing leader and rod info along.witg the fishing. You guys make extremely professional videos

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jeremybelk9240]

This is a great video! Would love to see a full series of this!

[@hardmanfishing]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

[@sullivanivens4387]

Me too thanks

[@rahmonster24]

Looks like it’s time to get some new fly line !!! Awesome video super simple fly and super effective

[@reidellis1988]

I grew up in Utah. An older gentleman that lived in my neighborhood, took me under his wing and sent me on a path. That was 1982. I was 12. Thank you Lyman Duke.

[@RobertMichaelAuthor]

Awesome video, guys. Definitely like the new format. I've been following you for a long time now (since spin fishing WV creeks). I'm from WV but live out west now, so it's nice to see fishing from East and West. Loved your North Georgia content as well. Keep up the good work!

[@TheonetheycallQuaid]

Amazing video man. I’m going to the White River with my cousin this coming October to chase fall browns. He told me bring my streamer rod. I can hardly wait.

[@therealCelticViking]

Best fly fishing channel to date. Keep it up and thank you!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@thomassammons1369]

Great video Andrew! I really liked the tying portion at the beginning and then seeing it in action. Awesome catches as well!

[@ChristianSievert-pz3yq]

Thanx man, really enjoyed it. Beautiful landscape, beautiful fish, great fishing!! Thanx for your work!

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@iamchrisroberts]

Wo! Way to go gentlemen. What a day. Thanks for the tie and the footage.

[@RainyDay6913]

So gorgeous there! Love all your videos! Ty for sharing the beauty with us! 🙏🏼💕

[@davidleimeister5027]

Way to go Andrew! Tie. Teach. Catch. Love this video Andrew!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@jameslevison6030]

Like your videos. Been using a pattern called the Rabbit Strip Jiggy which is a rabbit strip (Zonker strip) on a hook with a double tungstun cone (med or large size - put them together to form an egg), or a tungstun bead, at the head, right behind the hook eye. That's it. The strip is attached by impaling the hide over hook point and tying in the strip in front immediately behind the cones. The strip is straight on the fly - parallel to the hook shank. The hairs are on the hook bend, hook point side. That's it. Fly rides hook point up. Don't need accoutraments, they usually just take away from the fly's effectiveness. Been using it for 20 years or so. First wrote about it in Fly Rod & Reel Magazine in 2010. I'm a streamer nut and innovator and that Jiggy is one of the greatest trout streamers of all time. And perhaps same for many other species as well. I've lectured around the Country about that fly's effectiveness, and written more about it as well for quite awhile. Caught IGFA records on it too. You're finally catching on. Have enjoyed and followed your videos for a long time. U do a real good job. It's good to watch a good fisherman fish and catch too. Mark Sedotti

[@louied6065]

Thanks Mark. I’ll be using the Rabbit Strip Jiggy this year from the Esopus to the Upper D. 👍

[@tonypana9461]

Hi Mark !!! It's me Tony Panasiti, How're you my friend! I can't belive I came across in this video comments. I guess even the sport grew a lot, fly fishing still a small world🤣 we all have our favorite killer flies, you know how I love that leech pattern I always use....

[@TheBabadush]

Colorado anything is ok with me. Great tying and beautiful fish.

[@richardjones2129]

I enjoyed the tie and fish video. Hope to see more of them

[@larryhudson4511]

Love the rock slapping!

[@lastcoyote2355]

Great video .. winter streamers 👍👍

[@jshada58]

Great video. I really liked that you tied the fly and then showed how you fished it. Thank you.

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

I watched this video literally 3 times and enjoyed every minute. Awesome water, awesome fly tieing, and simply awesome fish. Thank you so much for this video and making my day. Keep tieing and catching and always tight lines. Tony

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you Tony!! Glad you enjoyed it

[@johngross5071]

That was a good day fishing, well done. That was a long fight with the rainbow. Maybe leave the fish in the water when you release?

[@kylebunga]

Pretty browns that you caught! Loved the colors and how you show the tying and fishing with the fly you tied. Keep it going!

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Yeah jig streamers/zonker leeches are amazing, I fish them a lot on an 6 or 8 weight in the size you tied, or I'll also tie much smaller (size 14-18) on a 5 weight. I catch ALL sorts of species with it, trout, bass, panfish, catfish. One of my 2 favorite flies of all time.

[@sheldonshoopman203]

I really liked the tying portion at the beginning. I think you should do more of it. But the video is awsome, keep it up

[@RussianBot-kp8wn]

Where I'm from in central VA we got three beautiful rivers called the "Hughes" "Rose" and "Robinson" if you ever find yourself in this part of the country I highly recommend. Great vid btw👍

[@FrontSeatFishing]

Great video! I like the concept of teaching and then showing how to fish the streamers.

[@nathanleeper4519]

Dude I honestly think that’s your best yet great job Andrew

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!!

[@ulvisbugajs708]

Very nice video! ✌️ With greating's from Europe 👍🙂

[@joeywhitehouse6011]

Awesome video. Really cool approach to show the flies and then how you fish them!

[@mahausrath]

Loved it, this an excellent idea for a series and I can't wait to see more! Thank you!

[@captainhaha1]

Looks like a spin on the matuka streamer great adaptation with the bead head for more of a jigging action normally they are tied with a cone, lead eyes or just a lead wrapped body.

[@ChrisFar]

Love your take on this fly. I've caught some of my best fish on a similar albeit plainer version. Gonna have to try my hand at tying one of these. Love the vid style👌

[@jeffs7773]

Btw wow! So glad to see how the channel has blown up over the last couple years. I can remember when you guys were at like 5 or 10k subs. So happy for you both!

[@zachmichel9157]

What a cool river!

[@robertsteele2295]

Nicely done guys!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!

[@kriyashivajiva]

cool tie. love the dark winter browns and bow. please tie your family heirloom mini articulated streamer. rage on

[@jonaswolf9538]

Love the videos watch them all the Time, our Seasion starts in a week and i am so excited

[@ronuhlenhopp5819]

This approach is extremely entertaining and we can learn to tie the pattern as well! What could be better? Thanks for sharing! Ron, NE Iowa.

[@zumalot]

Always enjoy your vids. I remember pulling two browns from under the same rock near Vail. I want to say the Eagle River, but could be way off as memory is dimming. I do remember my browns not being as big as yours. Oh and that rainbow was a doozy.

[@timkern177]

Nice tie. The way that you tied this fly it won't matter if the slot of the bead is on top or bottom. The rabbit strip will make the hook keel hook up. Always looking for good winter flies, this looks like a good one.

[@appleseeD552]

NICELY DONE with the streamer man!🙂👍 That was kinda cool to see what you made and how effective it was. Gorgeous catches bro.🤯👍 Do you guys do any camp, catch and cook kinda thing? Just curious is all. Big fan of the catch and release to promote the fishery, plz don't get me wrong... was just curious. Lovin the vidz up there in the Colorados my friend.....it's absolutely breathtaking up there. Keep em comin and as always....Peace ✌😎

[@hardmanfishing]

I think I may try to do a catch and cook this year. I've done several camping videos. But I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@BryceK60]

Andrew aren't you living in Colorado now and agree with others great video you guys put out the best enjoy them so much

[@kozakmw88]

Beautiful location 🤩😊

[@iamscottb]

Good job Hardman. Nice streamer pattern.

[@MrRourk]

Gurglers on fluro Tippet and sinking lines make big trout crazy

[@joemalar]

Great video love that kind of stuff

[@larrygladue3879]

Great video. Nice trout. It looks like your fly line is on its last legs, lol. Thanks for sharing.

[@hardmanfishing]

It definitely is, in fact it broke as I was fishing that day. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@jeffwhaley137]

Don't have the stuff to tie but would like to buy a few flies to help support Kepp Up The Great Work !

[@DentSideDee71]

Tight lines! great Content Keep It Up! 🎣🎣

[@TreyTheFisherman]

Awesome fishing!

[@akazfam]

i love all your vids man trying to be like you 💯

[@patjordan1955]

Another great video! Thanks!

[@jwood8221]

After seeing your cool net, I went and got one myself! Can't wait to record my catches!

[@hardmanfishing]

That's awesome!

[@flyfishingscotland863]

Awesome 👌

[@jeffs7773]

Cool video concept with the tie and catch! As simple an idea as that may be I’ve not seen this many times at all. Maybe Jordan from addicted one time. Nice change up there guys

[@hardmanfishing]

Yeah I hadn't seen it much either. There are a lot of videos on tying and a lot of videos on catching but rarely do videos do both. Thanks for watching!

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

Just had you recommended to me by the algorithm and hey, finally it did something right! Got yourself a new subscriber from Germany who fishes streamers on UL spinning gear like the heathen he is.

[@chrisgilluley2545]

Please continue to do videos like this. 👍🏻

[@charlesjohanesen1651]

great job! more like this!

[@delbertelliott4836]

Great fly! Great hookups, and, as usual, a great overall video.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks!

[@tl56kmair]

Great video, nice fish, and beautiful scenery. What state is this?

[@anthonyforest8038]

Do more videos like this where you tie the fly you use. Loved this

[@hardmanfishing]

I think we're going to!

[@Matt-fb5xe]

I live in Denver, sure wish I could recognize this well known river!

[@jimmymani]

There's only so many spots that look like this. You gotta get out there and explore!

[@kaiweaver1151]

pretty sure it’s on the south platte area

[@howardmoore5640]

Love to see more

[@corporalpunish6089]

Nice video. Good looking fish. For that short range stuff just tossing the fly out there, even consider a tenkara? I carry one in my pack as a backup and for when I get into close quarters where using the reel and loading up the rod really isnt an option.

[@jenhathazy8933]

Good job, and yes I do like the tying the fly and then fishing it! Question on when you are fighting a fish - why do you keep pulling line off the reel?Just curious. Thanks, Dave

[@henryleslievermont6004]

Love the fly tying at the beginning! Enjoyed :)

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you enjoyed

[@SouthernAppalachiaboiz]

I fish a micro version of that for Brook Trout in West Virginia. Super effective. I remember one day i had a hot fly and I cough so many they ate all the fur off the rabbit strip and were still hitting the fly with just the leather attached. It’s something special when those WV brookies turn on. Awesome video I’d love to see more!!!

[@hardmanfishing]

WV brookies are so fun! Thanks for watching!

[@Patriottoo2]

Makes me want to wet a line, but I'm too old to get near water for fear of toppling over. Thanks for the fish-along!

[@conservativerealist]

The green river,first section below flaming gorge reservoir in Utah has got to be one of the best out west.

[@jeffsmith.3516]

Great video Andrew! Awesome catches! Is that a Contact II rod? I want one so bad!

[@hardmanfishing]

Yes it is! And thanks for watching!

[@pakitoceronpescayaventura8809]

Fly fishing go!!!!🤙🏻🎣😎

[@jack01938]

Love these videos, what shoes do you use with your waders?

[@natureandfishing24]

Lovely video ❤ regards from Macedonia 🇲🇰

[@robovs1]

Another amazing adventure and video! Really loved this video beyond the fishing though and it was you edited and put all the shots together along with the music, plus the bonus fly tie session. One ask, maybe it was my laptop speakers, but I had a little trouble hearing you on the tying lesson because the background music seemed too loud. Otherwise would be happy to see more. One other observation that I hadn't picked up on and that is that the Browns have the same red spots as a Brookie but a completely different body and without the blue halo's around the red spots of the Brookie. Stunning scenery too even though you were limited to the body cam. What temperatures were you fishing in? Cheers.

[@k-dawg3893]

Awesome!

[@RashRaceway]

DUDE! You just show up and the fish are summoned.

[@WatersEquipment]

Very nice bro, always enjoy your videos. If you ever come down to Brevard NC let me know

[@kcflytie]

What an awesome video! What camera do you use?

[@Sides1160]

Nice fly. It’s been a couple years since I’ve fished that canyon, kinda surprised you found some water for yourself. Last time I was there it was way too crowded for me. Ended up leaving when a guy came up and started fishing the same current seam I was, and the dude was directly across from me. Somehow he thought that was normal.

[@coleasinas2570]

What leader setup with tippet are you using on that contact 2?

[@budfahnestock2418]

i'm genuinely curious if using a fly rod or spinning setup is better for fishing with larger streamers, an ultra light setup would handle those no problem, maybe even be a little on the heavy side. Does using a fly rod give you any advantages over a spinning setup? I'll be trying fly fishing this spring for the first time and i'm trying to figure out the when's and where's for breaking out a fly rod

[@OpportunityFishing]

I dig it! Nice pattern. I tie something similar for a small creek near me but I'm using a size 8 hook and mink zonker strips instead of rabbit. If you haven't tried tying with mink yet, I suggest giving it a shot! It's kind of in between pine squirrel and rabbit in the length of the fibers but it has amazing movement in the water.

[@brianbelchuk9612]

Very nice location

[@andrewharrison8048]

How do you find so many perfect fishing spots. All these boulders are super cool but I find I can never find spots like this. How far are you hiking to get to most of your fishing spots. Great Video btw, would love to see a series with the fly tying

[@hardmanfishing]

Depends, this one has a bit of a hike to get into it but it's not too bad. But thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@jakepage7383]

im gonna watchur vids either way you do it =-)

[@pawepoltorak2609]

Super pozdrawiam z Polski

[@peterxerras1486]

Can you guys make a “Gonna get this guy released” t- shirt I love it!

[@hardmanfishing]

We really should!!

[@brandonrichardson5464]

At about 16mins in, is that a fray in the fly line or some sort of piece of grass? It was giving me so much anxiety thinking the line was gonna let go!

[@Hey_Euphoric]

Interesting your buddy has a Mt Bachelor Beanie, that's from my hometown bend oregon lol

[@davidpolk8676]

Hi Andrew. Do u ever throw those jigs off a euro rig?

[@Skolvikings525]

Good rainbow
