you should make a vid that ends if you catch a pickerel

[@Kadengreenhaw]

If I send you some personal made flies could u make a video about them I use bucktail flies for bass also I make crappie and great trout flies I was wondering if u could tried them also how do I send them to u

[@colt_childress17]

Have you ever tried using a crank bait without hooks to bait fish first?

[@Sillyoldgoose]

Just remember the less water in the bubble is better. Fish will wont feel the resistance and the sensitivity will be better.

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

@@Sillyoldgoose Bombardier float rigs are made precisely for this type of fishing. Extremely few Americans use them, compared to here.

[@bennettaukerman6802]

Did this today on my baitcaster. Caught 3 pan sized crappies and a few good sized bluegill with the fly. Also, my first bass of the year on a 4" Texas rigged bubblegum/watermelon yamasenko! Your videos have helped me stay positive during my most recent skunk-spell. Thanks man, keep up the great work!

[@phoneusandfroboof829]

i caught a crappy 2 days ago where there wasnt supposed to be crappy, Funny part its its the most beautiful black crappy ive ever seen it had a mix of purple and blue by the dorsal fin

[@DylanWOWilliams]

I hope you now get a fly rod and blow your mind with the hunt and endless possibilities.

[@bigdoggstatus99]

The technique is called " Float and fly". When the fish are extra finicky add a tiny fly ( any version) on a short leader(6-10") tied to the hook of the first fly. This is especially deadly when the first fly is a popper. Fish that only come up and look at the first fly will hit the second.

[@rdavies420]

[@menotyou816]

Ive been doing this for years and trying to explain it without a reference. Thanks for the video.

[@jeffc2630]

It's float and fly! It's a very well known method!

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

This is the way i learned to fish. I use a clear bobber, a swivel, then a 6 to 9 foot leader depending on where i am, then match the hatch! Or use black wooly buggers. You can catch anything this way!

[@Umipunpun]

Those pickerel just keep haunting you man

[@thebassmechanic5567]

🤣🤣🤣

[@mikecummings6593]

Yes those dastardly pickerel have probably cost me thousand to $2,000 in lures through my life of fishing not that it isn't Fun to catch a huge one occasionally

The purists are about to come after this man

[@MrRourk]

Nah these things have been around since the 1930's. It is a wetfly system.

[@kevinr4700]

No real fly angler cares about your crappie rod or technique. This is video is amateur hour

[@MrTyjnash]

This is how I grew up fishing trout in Wyoming. Didn’t realize this was a secret.

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

I used to fish a lot with my uncle back when I was in elementary school. I started to get back into it recently with my daughter and I’m starting to remember all the stuff I forgot about for so long. I totally remember using water bobbers now!

[@CG-16]

You can also use like 2lb line and tie a a fly it won't cast as far but still works just as good

[@johnnyblade3335]

I use a torpedo bubble when I pack into the Mountain Lakes works great

[@jeffc2630]

You should look into some British floats (bobbers), they are an art form over there! They're a lot more natural looking than something out of a bubblegum machine!

[@somerandominternetuser5730]

There's a pickerel in literally all of your videos lol. I take it they're common

[@BTL1432]

Considering he lives in the North I would say yes.

[@somerandominternetuser5730]

[@sotaboy8040]

They are also called casting bubbles if anyone is interested in trying this technique

[@justinbozarth5910]

It works grest for pan fish. I use this technique for my kids so they can learn how to use lures and so I have cut bait for kitties😉

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

Not a fan of casting bubbles, if you're not able to cast way beyond the strike zone the odds of spooking fish are too great. Not stealthy. My favorite thing to do is remove the rear treble hook from a jerk bait and add a dropper, using different sizes and buoyancy depending on the size of the fly and where in the water column you want it like floating, sub surface and weighted. You sacrifice casting distance but worth it

[@Gear4UnMe]

Sweet trick thanks brotha

[@fishkeepingwithmatt2101]

Very useful video! I catch keeper rainbows, browns and brooks with this all the time

Nice i might try this

[@DrakeThomas44]

Orrrr try to buy a rod and reel combo for 20 bucks they even come with some flies but it’s better to get your own or tie them I did this when I started fly fishing and have never gone back to gear fishing (unless I’m going for lakers)

[@cameronbartlett856]

My dad showed me this when I was a teenager. Stupid effective lol

[@TengwarMetal]

I suck at casting the fly rod but I LOVE doing a float and fly with my ultralight spinning reel just to get on the board!

[@fitzsumner7602]

This setup smokes trout. Lakes I use the large 5'-6' mono leaders and streams/beaver ponds where you don't have as much depth I'll try and set my leaders a little off the bottom. 4-6lb test (diameter match with braid if I'm casting from the bank) and usually some black or brown flies are a go to.

[@scorkmc]

Bombarda floats are effective too if you have that

[@Aj-lj2ti]

Never had a good day on a fly and water bobber but i guess the trout i was going for wasnt used to it

[@theblobaru7994]

Split shot with normal bobbers to cast further and help sink in current

[@JakeAtkinson43]

The trout in my area would spook at the bobber lol

[@stocktonhaider2272]

[@bradley7013]

I use the “lotta split shot” method it’s tried and true

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

I use up to ten or more feet long leaders for trout here in Germany - not flyfishing either, so 4' doesn't sound long to me 😅

[@carter1605]

How effective is it at catching a small pickerel? Looks to micro fish for pickerel in Michigan

[@chrisneely4270]

What I used to do before I got a fly rod was I got my fly and tied it on the tied a line to about 6in off the bottom how over deep your fishing and put a nimph there and so that the fly acts as a bobber for the nimph. And then to cast far I put some spilt shot. Just 1 and I can cast 20 feet about.

[@butterkan3584]

I love using this on steelhead largest steelhead I caught with it was 10.5 lbs

[@karstenvandersande3710]

It’s as simple as tossing a streamer with some split shot on your spin rod

[@MG-fn9xw]

I use a regular spin reel setup with 6 lb line an no leader. I cast it just like the fly fisherman do, you gotta have bout 10 foot or so of line hanging off, then wave it out into the water, once your fly is on the water, open ur reel an let a few feet more line out an flip the bale back down. Then you’re gonna yank the rod back an forth with fly in the air just like the fly fisherman do, an get the fly to land even further out into the water, then open ur bale an let more line out and do it again in same manner til you have fly where you want it. This video is cheating an that bobber is noticeable by the fish. I usually get a hit literally every cast using my approach. An as I’m typing this I got an actual fly fishing reel setup in the mail. Fish on!

[@joelobert3212]

You should use clips because if you want to use rattle trap instead of tying it on you can clip it on

Use that method all the time. It works.

[@Myshkal]

You’ll have to try some of those pickerel! Just be careful of the pin bones, other than that they are damn good eating, in my opinion

[@Thundarr995]

This must really work good. I saw some guys using this method with a small pink crappie jig. That's what I thought it was anyway. I was bass fishing, so I didn't really care. But I couldn't help noticing ,they had a fish on every 5 -10 minutes. Maybe the lake was stocked the lake the night before?😂

[@MM-di7ux]

What kind of line do you use and lb test?

[@DrippySportsIsGucci]

I use 6 pound clear line for trout anything higher will spook trout For pickerel I don’t think any pound line matters but 10-20 is mainly what I use for any fish besides trout and river fish

[@danielwinder2093]

I live in a golf course and idk if they stock but there was a huge splash at the pond. Probably a catfish. What should I use

[@aaronbenns9051]

I use a steel head float with a fly under it and dead drift it there clear with a tiny tip of red on top great for clear water streams works better then my fly rod just not as fun

How do you make that fly

[@whoelse6212]

You can get a float called a mini bombarda,it's cheap,sinks slowly,is clear plastic,and can get them like 10 grams,so it doesn't cause a wake on the surface

Theres a whole fly kit for just 40 bucks at dicks sporting goods and it's pretty decent

[@UltraMagaFan]

You can buy a cheap Orvis fly fishing rod and reel combo for $150. Orvis is a very high end brand.

[@norincofan1949]

the fuck you can. maybe during a sale event. otherwise you're looking at redington/echo/maxcatch combos at that price point

[@jkfilms7442]

Did this a couple days ago, when nothing else worked and caught a couple rainbows

[@acelilumelody4445]

Yeah its awesome for trout. Its basically the ease and catch rate of spinning with the benefits of flies looking like a natural food source.

[@Fishing-with-Aj]

Should I do like 1.5-2ft of leader since I don't have enough room to cast a 4ft leader nor is the water 4ft deep

[@metallicthulu5763]

That’s not fly fishing, that’s slow retrieving a wooly bigger xD

[@luckybassturd7260]

I Tried this with a pop-r- took off front hooks & tied on tiny fly, but no luck yet👉👈

[@superfisher4379]

This is a highly effective technique that I've been using for 30 years. Just recently I started using it in salt water also. The biggest tough bubbles weigh just under 2 ounces and will cast a mile. Use a big white fly and you will slam schoolie stripers.

[@nickvoss9703]

So I’m from Texas and we don’t catch trout or Pike or pickerel we catch bass and perch and the state record for texas for a largemouth bass is 18.18 pounds and my pb is 5 pound largemouth

Its a very common style. Fly fishing with a float has been around for years. I started doing this about 7 years ago when i couldnt be bothered to get a fly fishing rod, and its so much easier and more efficient than trad fly fishing.

You realize catching panfish is so easy a caveman could do it you could literally throw anything out there and you will catch a panfish it's how you introduce children to fishing mostly not entirely

[@mesk412]

Why the water bobber? Any issue with doing this with a weighted foam bobber?

[@Tackle2thePeople]

water bobber usually lets you feed the line thru instead of clipping the bobber to your line. Just helps with presentation on the retrieve

i just drop shot rig it on a baitcaster

A big sporting goods store should have a fly fishing section, they should have some premade flys for sale around there, got my first flys today at bass pros and I’m thinking of fishing it just like this, and in the float section there should be those clear floats, but any float should do just fine if you’re gonna have that much line away from the fly
