Interesting when your neighbor is Kelly, arguably the one of the best anglers, fly tier and designer of flies of his generation. He walks by my place during the golden hour before dusk with his dogs trailing headed to spots on the Madison the public overlook and comes back with a smile on his face and most importantly tells me what he did, what flies he used and where. Unusual behavior for a fisherman as we tend to be secretive to protect our waters which is in fact selfish. Kelly, over the decades I've known him, embraces helping others find the joy he still feels as we try and catch and catch and release these gorgeous creatures that inhabit cold, clear fast waters. Most importantly he doesn't get mad or sulk when I or anyone else catches more or bigger fish then him because he likes people to be successful and happy even though he may have to buy the 6 pack at the end of the day. He knows there will be another day on the river.

Thanks for making streamer videos. I'm 77, and I have been flyfishing for about 68 years. For various reasons, I have lost interest in nymphing, swinging wets, and even dry-fly fishing. (We've lost most of our hatches several years in a row now) I still have a great drive to streamer fish, and your videos on fishing and tying streamers totally inspire me. You keep on fishing, tying, and making great videos, and I will keep on chuckin' until the old shoulders wear out. Well done, again!.

Ledges, ledges, ledges! I learned all I ever needed to know about ledges growing up fishing Kentucky Lake in the late spring and summer months most of my life. I have to agree with you Kelly, every fish in the world will use structure like ledges, drains, and ditches to move throughout a system. Great piece of advice you gave there to those paying close attention to what you were saying.

His diving comment, if he was actually in the river, with SCUBA gear or even just a snorkel, if different than being out of the water. I have had fish, otters, beavers, deer and other creatures come right up to me, when half submerged in the water, meaning I am standing up to my waist in the water. This is different than when I am standing on the bank, Creatures avoid you or, in the case of a beaver, slap their tails when you not half in the water. A guy named Marty Stalfer hosted a show called "Wild America" and in one episode he was diving in a river and actually hand feeding fish stone fly nymphs. Don't ask me why this happens but it does.
