[@jefflien2599]

[@joeokada]

You bet!

[@outdoorhabits]

Awesome flie pumping video! Easy to follow :)

[@joeokada]

Thanks!

[@charlesk1655]

Thanks so much for these videos. I bought the component parts to make the flies and I'm getting it down. Ive had good luck with the fat head minnows on a 3 way rig but it would be nice to not deal with minnows.😊

[@joeokada]

You bet! Some days it’s hard to beat the real thing but other days these are all you need!

[@jefflien2599]

Nice way to get action !!!!!great video

[@joeokada]

It sure is, thanks!

[@jefflien2599]

I've tied up a bunch of good colors lately. 😊can't wait to get back to the Mississippi funner than heck getting perch and walleye on the fly yu tie yourself. Go get em joe!!

[@CrappieJunction]

nicely done!

[@gabrielribeiro1616]

Awesome video! Have you caught other species using this rig?

[@joeokada]

Thanks Gabriel. Yes it catches all minnow eating predators. A white bass slayer for sure!

[@chriszeien9112]

Hey Joe, your cousin Chris here. Great video.

[@joeokada]

Hi Chris, thanks man hope all is well!

[@Hawaiibohntr]

Kinda looks like your anchored or spot locked on the slack water side, the Missouri river changes every year so I haven't had a chance to go out due to the weather to see how it changed from last year, cant wait, I tied up 10 sets, and rods are ready to go.

[@joeokada]

Awesome man good luck out there! Yep just pin up above the fishy stuff and see if they’ll respond🎣

[@SWSOutdoors]

Great video!

[@joeokada]

Thank you!

[@jesusoropeza9675]

Great video, i just found your channel and subscribed, what is the rule of thumb you could recomend for the weight size as far as current and depth, i will try this flies technique on Monday for first time, please keep the informative videos coming, thank you!

[@joeokada]

If you start with a 1oz weight and make a cast, you’ll be able to feel if you’re being carried by the flow too quickly and adjust up or down from there. Once you get the the back of the boat you want them to work in place while being gently swept around.

[@jesusoropeza9675]

@@joeokada thanks for the info and kind reply, please keep them videos coming, tight lines!

[@charlesk1655]

I understand technique of the twitching with the current with your great description. I'm limited to shore fishing on the Rock. Do you think I could cast to the channel into the current and still apply this method? Thanks very much.

[@joeokada]

Absolutely. It’s one of the best ways to fish from shore on that river. Good luck out there!

[@charlesk1655]

​@@joeokadaThanks very much.

[@charlesk1655]

Caught my first fish (a Wisconsin River Bass) using one of the walleye flies I made following your video. They we're hitting on the blue and white with gold flash. Thanks again.

[@joeokada]

That’s what I love to hear🎣 Great job, thanks for sharing!

[@michaelupchurch3769]

Nice walleyes is that a piscifun carbon x fishing reel

[@joeokada]

That’s a Diawa tatula lt 4000. They discontinued this one but I still have a few left. Really nice reels.

[@jeremybook9442]

Awesome vid, this on the Rock River?

[@TaiTran-gc9lr]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@RSnyder-vx8li]

Wondering if this system would work on the Saint Clair River? This river is half mile wide and depths from 6-40' deep and forms the border between Michigan and Canada 🇨🇦. We use an anchored technique with 2-3 minnow type plugs piggybacked, 3 way and 2-4 Oz. Sinker. Curious if your fly rig would work here. We have clear water conditions on this river too.

[@joeokada]

I think you could whip these behind the boat and probably get away with slightly less weight since they have a lot less resistance than cranks. Little taps, let them drift back and cover some water. Give it a try!

[@christopherterry2354]

Star-pole hole,, Rock River,

[@outdoorsman9384]

So your casting down current and letting it hit bottom then just sit there pumping it?

[@joeokada]

That’s one way to do it, yes👍

[@FluxDS]

What kind of line and lb test are you running here on the tatula?

[@joeokada]

#6 832. I go over all the gear in the previous vid if you want to check it out👍

[@darinbrill4980]

Whats the support mount your useing for the brewcity 360 livescope pole?

[@joeokada]

That’s a ram tough claw on their rail mount adapter👍

[@johnlundquist8855]

Are you running a double fly

[@joeokada]

Yep👍

[@spudsmccatfish]

How deep is this effective?

[@joeokada]

I usually stay under 20’ but you can play with weights to fish as deep as you need.

[@RSnyder-vx8li]

I do a minnow plug technique with a 3 way and dropper of 3 Oz. Sinker. The minnow plugs are piggybacked behind each other with 10' leaders...2-3 plugs working in current from an anchored boat in 20'- 35' of water. This rig is jerked an arms sweep upstream and followed back to bottom. Line is freespooled downstream at 10- 20' intervals with a line-couter reel. This method is called "whipping" and we use it on the Saint Clair River, Michigan. My question is could this fly technique you use work on a deeper, larger river with a faster current. The Saint Clair River flows between Lake Huron and Lake Saint Clair. This river can be 1/2 mile wide and is the border between Michigan and Canada 🇨🇦. Thanks for any advice as I think these flies might work well.
