Streamer Chronicles: Kelly Galloup

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Check out the video description for my MUST HAVE fly tying tools, fly fishing gear, and video equipment!!

[@nathankrassow3007]

It amazes me how humble he is. Love the series.

[@robgrubb420]

you can listen to this one over and over and still pick up little tid bits of gold from kelly. living legend.

[@MIOutdoors1]

I met this guy while on a week long trip to Montana. I'm a Michigan native and we got to talking. He has firsthand experience of my home river, and told me a fly to try that I'd never used. Went back home, they don't sell it at any flyshops around here, so I had to tie it myself. I used it and caught the biggest brown I've ever caught on the river. The fly is now a staple of my box, and I've caught numerous 20+ inchers on that fly. The fly is a crane fly larva. Thanks Kelly!!

[@nickvargasfishinfool9612]

The renaissance he mentions is awesome. I’m a newer fly maker with less than 4 years of experience. The amount of people I see my age and younger getting into tying and fishing is awesome! This is the direction the outdoors should be headed- with younger generations continuing the traditions.

[@mattier3030]

No joke Gallup, an aggressive streamer take from a 30” is life changing, I couldn’t stop shaking.

[@Piscatorialveteran]

“And if you’re not wiling too, get the hell out” LEGENDARY

[@craigphillips7258]

I learn something every time I watch a video that Kelly does. Thank you.

[@marcdalgleish2853]

He’s bang on the money can’t look back from streamers only second season and still get funny looks but the fish speak for themselves 💯🎣

[@adrenalzen]

Kelly...you're right! The kids today, by that I mean in their twenties, are taking this sport to a whole new level. I have fished with several and when I teach them something, the next time I fish with them they have taken what I showed them to a whole new level beyond my imagination. Especially saltwater fly fishing is changing every year. I truly enjoy their enthusiasm and having the opportunity to learn from the young. Great stuff Kelly, thank you.

[@tannerfurbee6387]

Kellys energy is unmatched, love his personality!!

[@AdrianStruwig]

Another great video Brian. Thank you so very much for the time and effort you put into this great sport in order to share it with the world! Must have been great to fish with Kelly!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks, Adrian! It was totally fun to hang out with Kelly for a couple of days.

[@thecommonoutdoorsman6366]

Thanks Brian! I'm so grateful that you got him to do this interview!

[@kellysmith4555]

Very well done I learn from your videos and trying my best here in Eastern Montana Kelly Smith Baker mt

[@joelluder8549]

funny when he told the story how he started tying its the same for me i started when i was 7 and my flies were shit i still have some of them and my father used to tell me how great they were and somewhere when i was around the age of 11 they started too look like something i had the chance to tie twice together with petitjean and thats when i really started to improve now at 23 he only fishes with my flies and i tie alot for coworkers my uncle and so on and everytime they show me the fish they caught with my flies it feels like a part of me was there too and caught that fish with him its really a great feeling!

[@robertdillon6242]

You need your own channel. Or at least a network to pick you up. Spent an Idle day watching your films and you really are one of the best down to earth - tell it how it is - presenters. I thoroughly enjoyed them all. Thank you so much for sharing these Robert

[@bowhunter7887]

Have to listen to wisdom in all walks of life. Good stuff. Keep telling us the stories. It’s how we learn

[@andrewsnyder179]

Awesome! interview Brian, the shear insight from these fellas just stops time for me and my mind Flys with, what could be. great stuff man, keep it up. love everything you put out. living the dream.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks, Andrew! I really appreciate it, man!!

[@pimlicoish]

Walt Grau. He is a great fly angler. We had a chance trip with him. Our hired guide from BBT had a really bad knee injury the day before our trip and arranged for Walt to take us. He guided my buddy and I on a steelhead trip and introduced us to spey casting on the PM (in Mi.). He definitely needed some stiff drinks after suffering with our skills and constant tangles. I'm trying to get back to the Madison in 2018 and will say hi to Kelly if we make it.

[@Ericbyhookorbycrook]

Im going with the yellow / olive flatliner 🤘🏼🤪🤘🏼

[@joshbrown7984]

Son Tao is great Fly Tyer would love to see series together

[@rootedrotor525]

Love him or hate him - Galloup is a Legend - put me in the love category.

[@bigsadie3405]

love the honesty in this guy , i still believe three inch native brook trout , or the dry fly purist , have never swung a fly threw the meat of a hole ,notta , behind the boulder , inch of the bank thirty yards down in steelhead green walk9ing speed five foot pockets notta then you see the tailout , followed by still two foot structurless desert next quarter mile , launch at the tail out give it an extra pause go to stip her back , when your rod gets yanked clear outta your hands chrome thirty inch rocket with fly launch six feet sky ward land with no splash and before you can get your palm to the reel thirty yards smoke off down threw that desert as you watch the back lash appear and vanish , one chance outta hundred , you come tight as your sixty yards of line flies over your head and your halloween bugger sets solid in a weeping willow as your chrome buddy gives you another tail walk fuck you encore , and you dont have anothrer bite all day , but at 3am 12 hours from now you know sleep is a silly idea as it was when you were six and you just heard santa land on your roof , so you might as well drive that fifty three miles up the 101 in the pre dawn magic as frosty dew silently coats banks and bolders even little ice on the guides as the sun wont hit you in the valley til 9am , by noon you will just have your tshirt , as you release your tenth sea liced bold ocean dwelling radical rainbow trout that parties with orca megaldon great whites ,only to battlle threw the gauntlet of sea birds ,lions elephant seals , the three most overseen endangered planet on the left coast , not as cute as my cabbage eating manatee , but just as prevalent ,,, and you tell yourself your not whole foods material , at least not come october through april , as you spend dawn to dusk ninety nine days in a row , second guessing your selection , cadance as its been seven days since you turned a fish the tenth landed inthat three hour window , but you tell yourself i could go two hours to the west and land twenty rainbows on dries , if you hadnt been stung by the ghost silhouette of 20 plus pound fourth trip back to where it was born ocean dwelling trout

[@jimholland1592]

I so enjoy listening to Kelly 👍

[@SultanofSpey]

I've caught big browns fishing for steelhead many, many times. I've always looked at that as a bonus and a welcome surprise to a great day of steelheading. And I've been such a steelhead junkie for so long I can't say that I've ever specifically targeted or hunted HUGE Browns. So I won't knock what I've never tried and failed at or actually experienced. But seeing the man in the silver suit open his 5 gallon bucket mouth to eat an inch and a half Palalo Worm off Long Key was my transformative moment with a fly rod. Not much has made very much sense to me or jacked my heart like that did. I can't afford Tarpon Fishing as often as I'd like. I'm kind of sorry I tried my hand at something I can't realistically pursue even though I did everything right that day and it felt great. So I think I might want to try this slob brown thing on a 7-weight. It's far more realistic for a meager man with college aged kids.

[@thetruenorth5714]

This guy makes me a proud Michigander.

[@bigkemna87]

Good stuff! Never saw Kelly like this..Inspiring

[@scottmehlhaff8124]

Coming back to Bozeman first week in July, coming to see you, hope you will be there. Pappy,the trout bum.

[@KonigKriegD]

Great video Brian!

[@jakegillmam9671]

Great stuff Brian.

[@brandondruckenmiller5508]

What size and weight rod do you recommend for the boardmen river

[@simongraham4182]

As Amy & John Hazel eloquently put it in the film "DRIFT" ....."Fly fishing is all about the grab, and in my eyes I wholeheartedly agree with them.Everything else pertaining to fly fishing leading up to, and after that moment, is just a ways to means. The cast, then the split second Adrenalin rush, let alone elation that surges through my veins when I feel the fish grab my fly, Is the reason why I've spent thousands of (Euros/Pounds & Rands) on equipment, dedicated thousands of hours creating all manner of imitative patters on my vice & traveled thousands of kilometers around the world, all in the pursuit of that single most defining moment in fishing ............................. "The Grab" So yes Kelly, you hit the nail on the head mate with regards to streamer fishing brotha!!!! Awesome interview looks like a good series...keep up the good work.

[@paul0421]

I wonder what line setup he's throwing in those clips and what his favorite setup is? Inter., full sinking, or inter. with sink tip?

[@jzrusty1]

Great series!

[@raymondbeck2603]

Raymond Beck , I. Love watching you. Tying your flies on utube .

[@skulpzilla2051]

Kelly, you nailed it.

[@lukehaubrick]

what a great video thanks for sharing this thanks for the awesome videos

[@ssnoc]

Great show -

[@scottmehlhaff8124]

That's why we call it fishing, in stead of catching!

[@armjamal1]

do you guys remember this guy who said "start with the trout reel using 4, 5, 6 and 7x the thought you need a drag is crazy" but look at what reel he used for the trout fishing, :)

[@roberternst798]

thanks Brian,another good one.he is right,tying streamers made tying intresting again,to me.any chance you interviewed Cheech?how he came up with complex twisting,cause it solves problems with material and beats picking polar chenille out.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Robert Ernst I would LOVE to have Cheech be a part of Streamer Chronicles. Maybe in the future we can make it happen.

[@jacobb3063]

What artwork is that on the wall?

[@RETROSFLYTYINGCHANNEL]

That was a great little doco

[@roblacitinola866]

that was awesome!!!

[@dennisjj6529]

I am so impressed with your attitude.....I could almost swear that you are a Canadian......and, believe me, that is about the biggest compliment in your life that you will ever receive. You have put together a very informative and engaging bunch of videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Agree 100%. Kelly has mastered his ego, unlike so very many.

[@rx7r8c3r]

Hey I've been a fan of your videos for a while now. Just have one question... what wt rod are you using to chuck something like a sex dungeon?

[@lipglop]

In the video I believe the rod used is a St Croix Bank Robber

[@austinstowell2]

typically something like a 6 or 7 weight

[@sidewaysrain7609]

BRAVO!

[@justsomekidfromwv193]

Whats the best under $500 6wt 9 0" rod for streamer?

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

WvHunter14 Dylan Merrill Pretty loaded question. Everyone's casting stroke is so different. The best thing you can do is go to your local fly shop and cast as many rods as you can to see which one YOU like the best.

[@justsomekidfromwv193]

flyfishingtheozarks Thanks

[@troutwrangler2194]

St. Croix BankRobber, designed to throw streamers, I prefer the 7wt though

[@hotpoker4212]

Greetings from the Emerald Isle of Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪, love your videos,and knowledge,how can I buy sum of your streamers,🇮🇪

[@ChrisWalklet]

Great stuff.

[@Scott64a]

Oh, Mr. Galloup... you just HAVE to get somewhere that holds BIG native brook trout. Say, like Moosehead Lake. You catch a 5lb brookie and you will be fighting it for a while. Browns... not so much. Big native brookies? It's a big fight. These streamers would be great for them, also. Go up to Moosehead, hit the shorelines between mid May to mid June, and you're gonna see some serious action.

[@bebobkiz6178]

[@niall441]

Looks like Bono with those glasses on!! Zonker man.

[@jakebevaart]

When are we going to see your story Brian? Kelly is the godfather and all but you herd the man himself say that there are a lot of young tiers now.I think we have to thank guys like you for that. you do as much for this sport as the pioneers like kelly did wayyyy back when lol. love to see a fly of your own.ps seen you on hookshots ...is joe c hard to fish with? lol

[@ColtSievers1000]

How much for 10 of your own tied streamers I'm here in Ireland would pay for postage on top of that no problem. Your a good at perfecting them. Here is hard toget dear hair of good quality and very little quantity. Maybe I should be buying my tie flying materials off of you. You can't judge the quality of hair and feather materials on ebay.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Peter Nugent You can contact Kelly at www.slideinn.com

[@imaxfli]

He should tie that first bluegill fly on video! What bird does "marabou" come from? Chickens?????

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Typically, marabou comes from turkeys.

[@commoncorysense1809]

Mark, just be honest, you were trying to be sarcastic and didn’t realize marabou actually comes from a bird.
