Jensen ALWAYS come through with great advice..Big trout!❤🎣🐟💯🐠😊

[@thomassteeley9734]

Love it. Love experimenting and finding new techniques that work.

Different strokes for different folks people. It is just showing a method of getting your fly down as deep as possible. And honestly since I really started flyfishing, I avoid spinning or baitcasting rods like the plague and I have curados and 200 dollar bass rods that just collect dust in my room. I want to catch all my fish from now until I die on the fly👊

For certain peoples who says "sacrilege", they will search draws of certain predator, pike and salmon victorian flies. They integrate some exotic plumes of course but more surprisingly, propeller, spoons and jig heads! Yes Jig men the jig head is a invention of the fly fishermen considerable before the modern using with spinning rods what are more recent (20th century). (my source is a catalogue of pike and predator flies of the 19 th century with some incredible things like pike flies integrate lead head and complete peacock eye on the back). In Slovenia some of most skilled fishermen are able to use these huge jig head to take huge spooky marmoratas and huchens with flies ressemble to drowning mouses made of rabbit strips. Fly fishing is not only dry fly fishing, It is more complex. The first flies of history where streamers because they were use by traditional people to take predator fishes (peacock bass in Amazonia for exemple) or to take makereel in seas (phoenicians). For some people who says it is not fly fishing, see historical sources of their fishing style and you will be surprised. Friendly, all the best

they also use it in asia

First twenty five years fishing rocky mountains before 'fly water regs' took over much of the rivers around here, I fished nitecrawlers with my Berkley fiberglass spinning rod and Mitchell 300, mono and split shot. Then fished for 30 years almost exclusively with fly tackle. At 66 I fish meat flies with spinning rod, my shoulder can't take the abuse of chucking meat flies on a fly rod all day.

That was an excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[@grahamwhitehead2258]

Enjoyed the humour in the narration and the locations were gorgeous. I can’t really see the point in using fly rods for this type of fishing though. Maybe for those who don’t own a spin rod ?

[@shakeyfly]

1:54 Imagine going in an bending all the hooks at a fly shop?!?! hahaha

[@Nkuchmak]

and here i thought the Jennsen's were sight fishing dry fly purists....Love this video. Got a few spots I need to try.

[@SirPraiseSun]

michael jensen channel is awesome =D

[@Charactermatters650]

Love the rod your with?? I loved this - belly laughs at chucking it in ha ha.

[@Exploremorefishing]

The fly rod is nothing more than a tool you use to get your fly to the fish , I don't get fixated on fly rod vs spin , use what works

[@bobbertheclown2907]

great video, how does this work on flat water. I have a tough time trying to reach kokanee salmon. This might be the solution.

[@noahmacomber5970]

I carry a small ultralight spin rod for these baits

[@caryverhalen]

Awesome🎯 "lift and THROW" 🐟

[@kkjohn]

@6:37 i was cracking up....

[@unionse7en]

tip: use a spinning rod and put an orvis label on it.

[@robgrubb420]

orvis has made spinning rods in the past

[@SirPraiseSun]

lmao

[@liamlowes1666]

I’ve been tying them with bunny strip and 4 shank sections so it is like 7 inches long and half ounce jig head in the deepest pools 20 to 30 ft for big ass bull trout they work so good Especially when you tip it with shrimp or Douse it in salmon oil.

[@liamlowes1666]

I recommend spin for 1/2 3/4oz

[@s.pepper1833]

Might as well just use a shrimp or worm and baitfish at that point. Baitfishing with a fly, not fly fishing.

[@bigron8346]

Do you retrieve the same way as say a Woolly Bugger?

[@fishdog70]

A float and my pin !😎

[@fishinthebanks3512]

Yess sir

[@gaangler7486]

I use them for shoalies in fast water, the bigger fish are deeper.

[@SkidinDingo]

philosophically i see flyfishing as a tool like any other. i love jighead flies for panfish because i can cast a 1/16-1/100 ounce jighead farther and more accurately with my 4 weight fly rod than i could ever hope to with an ultralight spinning rod, and it really shines with pan-fish. but after about 1/8 ounce isn't it easier to just use a spinning rod? i mean, i'm not opposed to trying it, but it just sounds like you're one bad cast from either shattering an expensive fly rod or smacking yourself in the back of the head with 1/4 ounce of lead that's flying pretty fast. more power to you if you are good with this but i'm content with having a spinning rod in the boat.

[@trautist0457]

1/32oz and up can be casted accurately on spin gear using light lines or drifted under a float (indicator for you purists) Even size 18 beaded nymphs under Thill Mini Mini Shy Bite can be deadly

[@SkidinDingo]

@@trautist0457 a spinning rod can absolutely be used to deliver bead head flies, especially with a float, but its a lot easier to put it down accurately 40 feet away with a fly rod than a spin rod imo

[@trautist0457]

Skidin Dingo, Been fishing light 1/32oz crappie type jigs for trout on spinning gear for over 40yrs. Fly fishers gravitated to light micro jigs a few yrs back and now they knock spinning gear making all sorts of excuses why a fly rod is more accurate etc. Lols. An ultralight spin rod in 6'9 - 7ft is very accurate in the right hands. Just give me a thumbs up when I pull that big brown from the run you just fished. Ha!

[@SkidinDingo]

@@trautist0457 im not saying its not accurate from a spinning rod, my previous reply admits this as well, and i use spinning gear, too. Im just saying i have an easier time putting a 1/64th oz marabou jig where i want it with my 4 weight or a 6 weight if the wind is kicking up. And, likewise, as in op, if im trying to throw a 1/8 ounce jig head with a wooly bugger tied on it, i want my spinning rod

[@JamesBlake3]

Spin fishing on the fly? Sacrilege! Sounds stupid. But if it's stupid and it works...

[@tmglvr]

I think this would be very effective in the bush of Alaska...

[@albertinedavis2532]

Nice

[@FrancoisFaubert]

I was wondering why nobody tried metal leaders on fly lines

[@Nwfisherman4321]

Just throw the damn thing

[@thatsspecial9683]

But orvis said so

[@sweynforkbeard8857]

1/4 oz will leave a nice dent in the back of your head.

[@fryindutchman1393]

still better than drowning worms and mops under a bobber

[@Daniel-ow2gk]

I mean.... just use a ultralight spinning rod instead of a WAYYY overweightes fly rod and itll be more fun to reel and cast....

[@aw00gaaw00ga1]

Now THAT'S greasy!
