THE FLY SHOW Episode 3: Wade Fishing for Fall Brown Trout

Kelly's definition and my definition of "little guy" are definitely different. Great video!

Although controversial, in this hobby people tend to gatekeep info and look at you sideways if you ask questions. It’s refreshing and appreciated that Kelly freely speaks theory for free on the internet for anyone to learn.

[@ronkreed]

I know these videos take a lot of effort, so thank you. Please keep them going. I'm learning so much from these.

[@kellygalloup6073]

Thanks for watching

[@paharding]

Another great video by a living legend. Everything about Kelly and the Slide Inn is very classy. I stay there for a week each year. It is a great experience in a great location. His staff is awesome.

[@deltadeltas4558]

It’s a special treat when you deliver fishing videos. Always enjoy the fly tying vids for sure. But really enjoy the trips to the river! Keep em coming please..

[@Ericbyhookorbycrook]

This all made me so happy to hear all these wading / sinking line tips. Because it completely resembles my whole scenario. Except I'm a noob of course. But watching the last video and listening to Kelly preach about casting and running the streamers, is often talked about in the realm of a boat and sliding along with the current. Having the sinking line zoom off the bottom of a boat is so different from wading. I love the honesty. Thank you sir, and to your team. Just ordered a ton of stuff from you guys for Xmas. Including my first vise. I'm super stoked, and addicted to this run and gun style you guys do. Thanks again for everything. 🤘🏼😆🤘🏼

[@lathandeyoung8886]

Been hoping for videos like the last few for years, especially this last one. For someone like me whos only wadding and has very little experience fishing water like this this is gold. Appreciate this content so much, hope you guys make more.

Always looking forward to his videos ....as I'm stuck with my generation where nobody fishes anymore...

Nice educational video Kelly. Keep the good stuff coming and don't freeze to death up there in that cold weather.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Damn Kelly! your little guys on that river are my monsters on the Provo!

[@kberry5215]

Hell yeah! Another gem. Cool to see some wade streamerins’.

[@Keggertotap]

Mix n up the strip rod twitch I’ve picked up fish on the swing ? Notice u don’t let it much Targeting larger fish. Especially aggressive browns I’ve seen then roll over rock and pick birds off of them. 5-8 lbs a whole different fish

[@tinoyb9294]

On my home water, I never bothered getting on the water before 10am. Thanks for all the tips.

[@jamescorliss1965]

The Silk Kitty is killer love that fly. Crushed smallmouth this year with it. I tied a couple in fire tiger this morning just wondering if you've ever tried that color combo. Thanks for the vids always fun and informative.

[@BoyajianDon]

That pool where Kelly started...I went for one of the most epic swims of my fishing life in that pool...was pushing the limits getting into position on a riser, and the gravel shelf started to crumble. Full doggie paddle. Made it to the bank about ten feet before that run below it.

[@jeremyfree2fish586]

Always good content Kelly its appreciated Thanks

[@brent2438]

Thx Kelly. I enjoy your teaching.

[@DavidCESmith]

Hi Kelly. I'm from the UK and do almost all of my fishing there. The streamer patterns that I'm using are usually quite a bit smaller that those used in your vlogs. When I'm fishing streamers in a river I get plenty of interest and contact but rarely manage to hook a fish or to keep it on beyond a few seconds. I am fishing single barbless hooks. I'd be very interested in your thoughts on this. Thankyou for your great vlogs. I've successfully translated much of your advice to fit the smaller rivers that I fish and used some of your fly patterns to great effect also. Best wishes for 2024.

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

Great video. Are you using a full sinker or a sink tip line?? And the "accident" with the line shows me once again that " I need " 2 of the things I use the most!😂😂 And being a single middle aged man, I normally have. 😅😅😅 But the biggest thing I take from this video is how to animate the fly.

[@TroutBumTaylor]

I like how you called that 20” brown a little guy!

[@glennbuscher8003]

Thank you for sharing a lot of good information.

[@mamadinks7924]

Would he be able to do a video on fly line grain and leader set up for streamers? Nothing big enough around here to need crazy depth or huge rods, but be nice to have an idea on different line company depths and a solid leader set up.

[@briggs13a]

prime time ,kelly knows every rock and has perfect flys and technique.Pretty tough fishing to me,i am pretty sure i could catch more on a spinning rod and jig.How about it kelly?

[@timapple6586]

Wow. What county is this that it's legal to fish over spawning beds?

[@dankochanek8056]

Any dry fly videos in the future? Not all of us are streamer junkies!! Like the Hex Hatch we have in Michigan..

[@brianhoover2294]

Thanks for these great videos. What weight rod is Kelly using for wade fishing?

[@johntucker9782]

He’s said a few times that he almost exclusively uses 7 wts for throwing streamers these days. The rod he’s using here is a streamer rod he designed for Echo.

[@JS-hu7pv]

Echo Streamer X 7 weight. I bought one from him and really like it. Great rod for the price.

[@jmgroganlaw]

Well done my man! We miss you here back in your old Benzie County stomping grounds. How's your knee? 😅

Knees like brand new. Miss the Plate this time of year. Hope all is well.

[@academicmailbox7798]

For the skinny water, that also happened to be angry, high gradient stuff (where one is more compromised in terms of one's ability to wade, or to maintain balance and stand up straight without difficulty), one is not getting distance to a cast. So one may as well forget about distance, and try to gain an edge in some other way. That water condition around minute 22, post lunch hour is not the same as the morning stuff (which evoked the classic winter steelhead glide pool comparison). In the morning with black or white flies, one was throwing the line to middle distance. The tan flies, olive flies fished later in the afternoon were used at close quarters. That requires one, not only to shorten a cast, or shorten the line, but maybe to shorten the rod too in an ideal circumstance. The problem with skinny water is not that trout are too far away, it is they are too nearby. When it happens feet away from one's face, it can rattle even the tough guys, shake them down to their boot soles. In a way that fishing for trout at greater distance does not. When fishing happens at longer distance it is often easier. The irony about trout fishing is, the more the angler wades into shallow water the more they can get out of their depth.

[@academicmailbox7798]

That's in situations in which one is determined to fish the active retrieved lure underneath the water surface (to lure those 'players' that Kelly described out of those buckets). The reality is though, just as less rod, line and tackle becomes advantageous at close quarters. Where time, water velocity and gradient gives you shorter windows of opportunity. The other approach is that of Davy Wotton, as he described in Hallowed Waters. In his two-part interview with Matt. Where the angler uses the top of the water, and coaxs the trout up instead. Taking advantage of the fish's sense of opportunism, inside of those same short windows of time available. For that, as Wotton explained, it requires one to go the opposite way. Thinner, lighter lines and longer, thinner rods. In order to dance on the surface, to provoke some reactionary instinct.

[@academicmailbox7798]

Sure, Davy is doing so in a way that uses the simple wet fly. However, if the sea-run brown trout is any judge (they love these pockets too, and will stage in them during long summer runs in the thin water). Making them exceptionally hard to approach or to cast to. There is some scope here to work with a top water streamer design too. When the bucket is a couple of feet depth, in thin water of a foot depth. Then fishing a top water streamer doesn't seem too out of place. One way to change over easily, is to have a detachable sinking head to one's line. And use the thin floating running line behind it, on it's own. In order to fish top water streamersin shallow, faster stretches. While getting away with a fly rod that might be six, instead of seven weight (under powered on glides but more applicable to thinner stretches).

[@academicmailbox7798]

The thinner line and top water streamer, enables one to re-position cast more often. And to search these places a little better. A top water streamer is neither a dry fly, a wet fly or a conventional streamer. It is it's own unique thing. Davy fishes his wet flies on the White river with success, which tells one there is scope to use streamers in a different way in those rivers too.

I’ve had the best luck throwing the Marlboro streamer for post coitus Browns …

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Pro tip...I mean amateur tip, bring two nerds to film. One who films Kelly, the other to do nothing but follow the fly and fly line so we can see the fish go after the fly. Slap on a ND filter/polarizer so we can see through the surface glare.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

That requires a heavy-duty camera and somebody on a high bank who knows how to use it. Not easy.

[@self-taught_angler]

I agree with you. The casting was very weak too. He has all the space behind him still prefers to walk in the middle of the stream to put his fly 10 feet away. With that mind set one might as well tenkara or euro.

I like having the tips and the information, but it would be nice if people would disclose what body of water they are fishing, I mean you don't have to give a specific location, but I don't know what it hurts to let fellow fisherman know the river! That is one of the biggest things that keeps me from liking or subscribing to a channel is if people do not like to devulge what river they are fishing!
