Top Five Fishing Accessories 2024

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

If you’re fishing the Pere Marquette river for steelhead in Michigan check in with the guys at ‘Baldwin Bait and Tackle’ …. They can give you tips on what’s catching where and even hook you up with river guides and guided float trips …. Great bunch of guys 👍👍

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks for the info! I think I might have visited the shop on my last trip. One of the things I love about Baldwin there are more tackle shops than clothes shops!

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

@@lindsayiflyfish … I’ve had some success on a fly imitating what is known in Michigan as a ‘Wiggler’ (no really it is 😂 ) it’s a large-ish Hexigenia mayfly nymph kinda a grey dun in color with prominent eyes and a gilled abdomen …. They fish the live versions up there (available at tackle shops) but I’m sure there’s plenty of fly patterns out there for them …. The eyes and the gills are key… anyhoo have a great time in Michigan .. wrap up warm it’s bound to be chilly … can’t wait to see the videos 👍👍

Size 16 olive scuds work great on the east side. I have never been to the west side. We have been doing great using just white marabou jigs this winter so far. I need to get over to the west side. Good luck fishing Lindsay, like he said, dress warm 👍🏻

Hi Lindsay ,where is the link for the buying the tweezers, cheers bud .

[@lindsayiflyfish]

It’s in the video description pal.

[@bobhammond8067]

Socks for me, but #1 is good too!!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I do like my tootsies to be warm

[@kevinbrogan8966]

The hook storage be great I have hooks in draw with a biscuit tin for storage and like your good self I use hanak hooks

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Simple idea but works really well.

[@garrygeddes151]

I really am very interested in the measurement scale on the side of your rod. More info needed please.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

The link to the product is in the video description Garry.

[@peterwelsh9509]

Lindsay, having escaped the BFFI without too much expense you post this! The tool is interesting as are the heated socks, I would happily have suffered cold feet just to have a decent crack at winter Grayling.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Aye, bit of a wash out this year pal.

[@robsmith8024]

Thanks Lyndsey, how comfortable are the battery packs inside your waders and how do you secure them. Cheers

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hi Rob they fit into a little pouch at the top of the sock and are shaped to fit onto your calf. Once you have had them on for ten minutes you hardly notice they are there.

[@denismcmahon8053]

I think the tweezers are a good idea,i have been salmon fishing for years and when you are using 15-20lb nylon i can manage it fine,then you come down to 6. 7 . 8lb i just struggle to hold it so i will give it a go next time i am on the loch.Thanks for all your tips keep them coming.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Denis, I am not without them on the river now very helpful 👍

[@davidlong7086]

Like the socks Lindsay, I get terrible cold feet standing in water especially at the start of the season, I couldn’t wear both at the moment cos I have a broken ankle. My wife bought me a heated gilet a few years ago and I love it keeps you toasty all day long tight lines.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

They are great I suffer bad from the cold. The gilet is superb especially if you are sat static in a boat.

[@wvlongshooter3912]

Thanks a bunch, very informative. Question please, what type of resin or treatment can I use on my dry flies to cover a quill, for example, that isn’t heavy ? It seems my uv resin weighs down my dry fly , is there something better for covering a quill on a dry fly ? I promise, any help will be totally appreciated!!!!!!!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I use Solarez Bone Dry it has a very thin applicator brush and is super thin.

[@wvlongshooter3912]

@@lindsayiflyfish thank you, ordering…

[@dennybowser5533]

I'm 3 years behind you I just purchased a Umpqua chest pack last week. I'm trying

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Still using that pack, yet to find something better, that said i'm always looking ;-)

[@dennybowser5533]

@@lindsayiflyfish my orvis guide vest is 25 years old I needed a upgrade badly. Can't believe that 26 pockets of stuff fits in the pack plus room for extra thanks

[@lindsayiflyfish]

@@dennybowser5533 It is a great pack always got my eye out though ;-)

[@Madymoving]

I love to fish on the coast here in Denmark and when it's cold it's horrible to try and and make a knot for another fly, the tweezers would be a life saver. I was lucky to win Geoff Anderson socks and more in januar so heatet socks are not a concern 😊

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I am glad there was one thing that was useful 😀

[@Madmicksoutdooractivities]

I nearly fell over when I heard that accent say heated socks.... most be that thing called age catching up. Really enjoyed that mate looking forward to the steelhead videos tho

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@andrewdavid3716]

I cannae believe this tough Scotsman would be needing heated socks……. (But he’s right: it’s a grand idea- Time to shop !)

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Socks, Gilet anything that keeps me on the water a bit longer pal 👌

[@kerrypitt9789]

You can get electric gloves too. Sorry I'll watch the rest in a bit

[@michaelshaw8370]

Looking forwards to seeing any content from your time at this years BFFI show. I really enjoyed this vlog. Five excellent bits of kit. The simple solutions are often the best. With the measure perfect for rod or landing net handle. The hook storage idea is one of the kick yourself for not thinking of it sooner items. I will get some ordered soon. Shame Ronnie did not have that rod holder last season. It might have saved his rod during the practice session.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Mick, I didn't film at the BFFI this year as they had already got someone to film the event. I did offer. It was actually really nice to just wander around with no pressure just not enough time really for one day must book accomodation next year.

[@graymain]

Hi Lindsay i met your old friend Rob Barden the other day while fishing at brick farm lakes. He told me a story about a certain new rod disappearing over a boat at Bewl water. :) The eze tool for would be most useful as my eyesight is poor !

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Bob, was a legend that day! The tool is excellent pal.

[@johnowen4888]

the second item, the rod holder, would be my faviorite

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Very pleased with it it is rock solid and take a bit of getting off.

[@johnowen4888]

[@lindsayiflyfish]

@@johnowen4888 I paid £30.00 for mine just a few weeks ago so I doubt the price has changed since then. Nik is on FB a good deal so I expect a quick response time.

Cant find the link for the rod holder??

It’s because the app is poor below the video click more and then click more again. Scroll down and you will find all the links. 👍

Fun ! 💪🏼🤣

[@nofotomojo]

I'm keen on the measuring device(in standard) as well as the knot tying device.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

The EZ tool is excellent, I may purchase another one for my stillwater kit.

Heated socks ,I'll have some of that 😊

They are ace!

brilliant, si impressed with the fly tying guys, Simon Easthope demonstrated how to make a parachute fly in a different way. Its also on KZbin. Ray @@lindsayiflyfish

[@peterlloyd3279]

The first item is undoubtedly the most useful as far as I’m concerned
