[@turner427]

the two dudes that I've never met, but feel like i have. Since i've learned so much about fishing and tying from these two. legends, thank you.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching! Much more coming with Kelly!!!

[@grgnfl05]

Fantastic vid. Gallup is one of the greatest fly tyers and fishermen ever. Thanks

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. He certainly is.

[@charlesbradshaw8673]

Thanks for sharing, both Brian and Kelly. I heard a saying the other day, "That when a person passes, it is like a library burned down. That all their knowledge went with them. " So thanks to you both, for recording the videos that you do, and sharing your libraries with us.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Rest assured, with these two there will be no libraries burnt down anytime soon! Stay tuned. Much more to come.

[@TezukuriLure]

Legendary… Thanks Kelly and Brian👍

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@__magnus__3162]

Definitely a collab I never thought I would see but am glad I am

[@Madriveroutfitters]

They have been close friends since 1990 and always worked closely together. Much more to come!!!

[@jasonmullins6638]

Loved that look Brian gave the camera when Kelly's glasses made that clicking noise. 😆 🤣

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Definitely a funny moment. Kelly actually introduced Brian to the Clic glasses many years ago.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Wow, Kelly tying a fly on video in the summer, the world really has gone off of it's axis. Thanks for snagging Kelly this time of year Brian. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Much more with Kelly on the way.

[@bryanandryszak925]

Awesome fly, Kelly!!! Thanks to Brian for talking about this fly during his visit with Flip Pallot who tied a fly and a discussion of Kelly’s hook was brought up with a reference to this pattern. Thanks again, guys!!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@skylazart]

OMG I loved the advise about personal touches and not forcing to make absolutely the same fly as original recipe. Ty so much

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing. Kelly is one of my favorite fly tiers, watch his channel all the time. Going to save this to my favorites.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. He's one of the most innovative fly tyers of all-time. For sure.....

This is awesome, great collaboration with two legends

Thanks for watching.

[@-Crig-]

I love the switch sound whenever magnetic glasses are deployed

[@Madriveroutfitters]

They are called "Clic" glasses so maybe it's a......click? Regardless, thanks for watching.

[@juliancoetzee4432]

I really enjoyed that. Felt like was in the room with you guys! Great stuff man!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here and please stay tuned.

Awesome too see the two of you together. I've watched every video from both your libraries, I feel I know you both. Would love to sit there while Kelly ties

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Stop by the Slide Inn sometime and you CAN sit there.

[@WhiteBuffalo032]

Cool video and fly.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@dixiemae5042]

I always just thought fly fishing was limited to only the rivers in Yellowstone n Montana. Little did I know. Wish I got into the sport 30 yrs ago.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Hang around our channel long enough and you’ll see that’s certainly not the case at all.

I love that when Kelly puts his click readers on Brian raised his head in acknowledgment. 😂

[@Madriveroutfitters]

You have to ackowledge the Clic. Always.

[@kaceesavage]

@@Madriveroutfitters that is a fact, It’s undeniable.

That's Kelly. Thanks for watching.

[@themidnightrider6805]

Sweet video!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@FlyTyer1948]

After subscribing to both their channels for a while, I worried when I saw that Brian & Kelly were doing a video together. They are each so laconic, I thought this would be the digital equivalent of a silent movie. ;-) Just kidding. Thanks guys. Good one!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. They have been close friends for 31 years now....and counting.

[@jasonmarine1980]

The two of you guys need to do more collaborations

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Wait for it………wait for it…….how about later today? Stay tuned.

[@SKragseth]

Awesome video

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Here is a thing that i've been thinking about with checking whats in a fishes stomach. Its not a representation of what a fish WILL eat, but a representation of what they have found to eat. Opportunistic rather than preference. I look in the stomachs of trout here in the Provo River and I've found a ton of little fresh water shrimp, and very very few have worms or leeches in them, BUT when I present both flies to the trout they almost always eat the worm over the shrimp.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing.

[@m.t.pokkets86]

Brian would be a great actor.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

He IS a great actor! Thanks for watching.

[@Charsept]

It's like lefty kreh and flip pallot for the younger generation 😆 Really, who's had a bigger impact on modern streamers than Kelly Galloup. 👍

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and certainly no bigger name than Kelly. A true pioneer. Much more to come so stay tuned.

[@hobbyoftheday4017]

My belly bumper story is this, I ordered some flies from MRO one was the belly bumper. It looked good ...took it out first fish was one of my biggest chain pickerel about two pounds over the next 3 hours I caught 3 bass and 8 more chain pickerel. I took that fly to a fly shop and said I need the stuff to make this fly. At that point the fly only hade one eye left and was all torn up. It's one of my favorite flies easily.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

It’s one of the best baitfish flies ever!

[@tysonolsen6147]

Could I use polar chenille instead of the dubbing brush on this?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

As Kelly states in the video, you can use whatever you want!

[@TomNavesink]

Are those hooks available and what would they be called? I looked online and the only hooks I find that look like them are listed as vintage mustard streamer hooks. Would a regular jig hook to the trick?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Well, they are called Kelly Galloup Bellly Bumper Hooks. www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-15349-mfc-belly-bumper-hook-kelly-galloups.aspx

I want that shirt that Kelly rocks. Anyone got a link?

Call Kelly?

For a while I sitting here watching this guy make this fly then i look at they guy with the hat on and i was trying to figure out why he has a green goatee then he moved and i laughed so hard it was the peacock feathers

Let's not forget The Found Link!

Did you finally find it?

[@ronscholefield1894]

@@Madriveroutfitters Great tying video, by the way. Thanks for talking Kelly into it. Kelly, himself (on a YT video), introduced me to the Found Link. It's a wicked little dry fly that Kelly invented, inspired by Mercer's Missing Link... but I suspect you know all that 😉. Love your channel and the latest Montana trip videos!

@@ronscholefield1894 Yes, we are familiar. One of our favorite dry flies. We sell a ton of them!!!
