Unexpected Outcome - Fishing NEW Rivers

[@FlyRiderFishing]

staying flexible on the water and being able to adjust to the circumstances is probably rule number one of angling :) very nice fish, love this format!

[@peelindrag113]

I sure was glad I had some carp flies with me! Hopefully next time the pike cooperate more.

[@chasethayer1507]

One of my favorite youtubers. You literally do everything and you inspired me to start fly fishing. Yesterday is spent $70 on flies and I started to make flies at my grandparents house. Thanks bud

[@randyzwieg8467]

I've been doing much of my fishing vicariously. We're both limited by not owning a boat. Have fun.

[@draven3838]

Great looking fly ,try adding white on the belly and finish up the belly with yell or orange , you can tie the top fuzzy with chartreuse ,lime green, olive green with white, yellow, orange on the belly . I tie using these colors for pike with black bodies and large holographic, I use mostly 4" to 9" flies these days ,unless I'm carp fishing then I use white dry flies, tan sculpens

[@calebjones6593]

Man, I love your fly fishing videos, please keep them coming. Try some fly poppers with some bass, or catch some gar on a homemade fly made of unraveled nylon rope. Keep up the great work!

[@kbfishing551]

Peelindrag I love your videos they as inspiring me to become better at fly fishing and inspiring me to try tying my own flies

[@stewoutdoors3020]

What a great video, what a great tie. Love it love it. Orvis builds an incredible rod, for sure. Thomas & Thomas !! The fly rod you will eventually own !!.

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks! They sure do. I can't imagine spending that much on a rod though! I'd never want to take it out..

[@stewoutdoors3020]

Peelindrag I have fished T&T rods for many years. Orvis is an incredible rod for sure and so is Sage. T&T has given me such incredible customer service over the last 25 years , that's what makes them my rod builder.

[@peelindrag113]

Well I'll definitely keep that in mind! I'm sure you get what you say for.

[@earlstubblefield9275]

a wonderful video, thank you young man. tight lines to you

[@scbrown3]

Always exciting to see a new video from you! I like it when you show tying the fly before fishing it. New spot seems nice!

[@peelindrag113]

I'm glad you like the videos! I'll be going back to some of those spots for sure!

[@johaneriksson5062]

Another great video. I really like that you always explain your choice of fishing spots, baits etc. Greetings from Sweden.

[@peelindrag113]

I'm glad you like it! Many more to come.

[@-Loki--]

Where I live any Pike under 8 lbs in weight is a jack or jack pike. Some places (& fishing clubs) set this limit at 5 lbs and some as high as 10lbs. Happy enough to hear any small pike being called a jack, not so comfortable hearing what are clearly jacks being called pike. Guess its just what we get used to? Enjoy your videos, camera position and angles are spot on.

[@peelindrag113]

Some people around here have different names for small pike as well, but to me they are all pike. No need for different names based off size. I'm glad you like the content though, many more videos to come!

[@garylawlor2288]

Like the fly at start bud. Have you ever tried replacing the S.F fibres with other materials. I now use Kanekalon (artifical hair for making dreads) almost identical, adds loads of bulkiness to the fly without adding to many materials. Save yourself a fortune bud 😊

[@matthoch7175]

Glad you had success at that spot. Solid effort in adjusting to what the river was willing to give up.

[@peelindrag113]

Gotta get something for the video if I'm gonna drive out there!

[@MrSjcod]

You have become an awesome fly tier!!! Very nice !

[@peelindrag113]

I've gotten lots of practice! Thanks for watching.

[@stormy_chromer]

Nice work on the fly tying. Enjoyed this vid. Keep up the good work!

[@glennkrzeminski7539]

Nice tying. Even with the stinger hook there is still a lot of hookless fly beyond the bend. I find that when the fly is moving slow it gives the game fish lots of time to size up the fly. They end up swiping at the rear. You may feel the weight of her before the fur pulls from her maw but hookups are rare. Maybe it's a reactionary strike, a territorial strike, or an investigative strike but the net result accomplishes little more than a refusal. If they really wanted it they would grab it more towards the head and you'd be in business! The only solution I've come up with so far is to shorten the tail. I know it doesn't give you the large profile you want for pike but there are no more free fly tastings for the ones that strike.

[@juliusjames9244]

It’s great how you show tying the fly! If people want more detail and instruction there are other videos for that. Very smart of you. Maybe try a smaller profile fly for those pike when you get rejected. I’m thinking a mickey fin, big wooly bugger, dark spruce fly? Still waiting to see for the topwater flyfishing pike. Keep up the good work!

[@peelindrag113]

I'm glad you like it! I think trying a smaller fly is a great idea. I'd like to do some top water fishing, but I've been struggling enough to get them to hit a subsurface bait recently so that'll probably have to wait until the bite picks up.

[@juliusjames9244]

I think you may get be surprised. Give it 20 casts to high percentage spots. Even if you don’t get any hits I believe us viewers would still enjoy watching you work a mouse or frog on the top.

[@The_rc_guy_23]

Good video man also I like the pretty color flys.

[@guybaumgartner4244]

beautiful vidéo nice fish

[@thomaskrocker1696]

Keep up the videos, fun watching!

[@keenansegenchuk7177]

I liked the time lapse at the beginning. Keep it up!

[@craigwallace4809]

Loved the video my friend 🎣 that pike looked a good size too. Pity that you never got it bud and congrats on the new on for the carp 👍🎣 tight lines ✌👌

[@peelindrag113]

Hopefully next time! Thanks for watching!

[@Rscmgw23]

The time lapse fly tying was sick brotha, keep it up!

[@claytonmichaud7368]

I love the videos keep them coming! Also when I tie a two hook lure I put a magnet for the second hook so it's not flopping everywhere!

[@edvina9479]

That’s an awesome fly

[@realjimmywillis]

Tight lines :) All the best, Jimmy Willis

[@vissenmetfonz]

Loved it! Awesome😎

[@fishon9051]

Hey buddy I love ur videos and how u love it and I think that’s absolutely great!!!🤪🤩🤩😝🐟🐟keep doing what ur doing

[@mikerawls9619]

Well done.

[@aaronsysko9340]

I discovered an awesome marina that has amazing smallmouth fishing. There are schools of 3-6 pounders that swim around the yachts.

[@peelindrag113]

That's awesome man! It's always nice to have reliable little spots like that to go to.

[@garrettsnyder219]

New to your channel, love the idea of the tying before fishing. Maybe do that too with trout and bass flies.. possibly even just tying videos as well

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video man n awesome catches on the fly too

[@timothymcnees9243]

Wicked how your streamers come together🤙🏻

[@LivingWaterAngling]

Sweet video man. Def my fav angler on here, you even inspired me to pick up fly fishing 😊

[@peelindrag113]

That's awesome man, I love hearing that. I hope you really get into it. Lots of fun!

[@PlayStation2014-e3n]

Nice carp

[@catchthatbass3731]

Colwyn from Guyana,South America here.i love your videos,where can i get those big flies from?we have some big peacocks here.

[@djVeronScratch]

Crazy Video! 💪🏻

[@lisasharman8807]

Would love to see a review video on budget rods and reels. Keep up the good work

[@peelindrag113]

I'd like to try to do that sometime for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@oldgold5848]

Great video. Pike in the UK love streamers as well!

[@mikevincent5260]

That flashabou is dopeee

[@e4t662]

Just got home from wading the river near me for Smallies, what do I see, this video, it’s a good day.

[@peelindrag113]

Hopefully you got into some! I'm glad this could be a little bonus to your day.

[@adamtonkintonkin7019]

In a new subscriber loving the content man

[@peelindrag113]

I'm glad you found my channel!

[@jorgehernandez6878]

Any suggestions on flies for carp??? Keep up the videos!!!!

[@peelindrag113]

My faviorate is called a hybrid carp fly.

[@alexmmh4051]

If the fish take the las hook don't brake the fly?.. Only same glue can rezist to pike?... 🤔

[@peelindrag113]

Nope, the back hook is in there to stay. Between the strong glue and lots of pressure from the thread wraps, the actual hook will break before the wire that connects them does.

[@alexmmh4051]

@@peelindrag113 nice... Thx!

[@davidh6652]

Great video man!

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks David!

[@garrettbone3270]

The music got me hyped up

[@DickOswald]

Garrett Bone dnb rulez!

[@JerseyJoel]

Reeling a Carp in on spinning tackle is a great fight....must be insane on a fly rod!!

[@aflyxonados9194]

Fantastic.

[@boogieboogilly3470]

your videos are awesome keep it up brother

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks man! Many more to come.

[@aaronsysko9340]

You are really pumping out the vids.

[@peelindrag113]

Trying my best!

[@nicholasmortallaro221]

Great video as always! Do you ever trout fish with the fly rod? You’re going places, no doubt. You have a complete knack for this.

[@peelindrag113]

My last video I did a little trout fishing on the fly. I may get a chance to go to Colorado this fall in which case I'd be doing a lot of it over there!

[@1024cgf]

I just started fishing for river pike it has been off and on here. Have you ever thrown big bucktails? Do you have any suggestions on good lakes for pike? Thanks!

[@peelindrag113]

I've used them, but my number one bait is jerkbaits or some kind of lure that suspends. That way you can work it as slow or fast as you want in small little pockets and keep it in the strike zone much longer than something like a spoon, spinnerbait or bucktail which you need to keep moving in order to give action. Not to say other baits won't work, but jerkbaits seem to work better for that reason. I've only read and heard about some good pike lakes, but since I don't have a boat I don't get to fish lakes for pike too often, unfortunately.

[@matthewvelderman900]

what glue did you use for the eyes.

[@ajheld3124]

I love multi species videos!

[@peelindrag113]

Gotta love a little variety!

[@Noobish_Camper55]

Do you ever run into rivers with huge amounts of silt build up? If so how do you work around that without sinking?

[@peelindrag113]

Sometimes, but usually just on the edge of the bank. Most of the rivers I fish have a pretty solid bottom.

[@brsh496]

If I'm not mistaken this is in a montage that's dope as hell. GWK Cams 6 I believe or 5. Great videos as usual man!

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks for watching man!

[@Dhayes94]

Love the fly tying videos dude I definitely want to try this fly. What kind of vice are you using and how do you like it? I need to upgrade from the vice that came with my tying kit lol

[@peelindrag113]

I have the Renzetti traveler 2000. I like it a lot but it's the only one I've had so I don't have much to compare it to.

[@Dhayes94]

Peelindrag ok I'll have to check it out. Anything is probably better than the vice I have now. Thanks!

[@raivispudulis1420]

Greetings from Latvia!

[@BigFishPhilosophy.WilkieTV]

What kinda rod/reel/line do you use for catching the bigger fish?

[@chrisbajema8002]

Nice job keep keeping it up 🤙

[@peelindrag113]

I'll try my best! Thanks for watching!

[@dylanwade1635]

Great Video!

[@sgm505]

Love your videos and commentary. I'm new to pike fly fishing and just curious what size rod you use?

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks! I use an 8wt, my whole set up is listed in the description 👍

[@bassnote1]

Great videos! What brand of reel are you using on your rod?

[@peelindrag113]

everything is listed in the description

[@46bektas]

Nice video , miss the pike ones

[@peelindrag113]

Me too.. hopefully they start cooperating soon.

[@brendansheehan6192]

hey man, awesome video. you do an awesome job with that fly rod, I need some advice lol. Tons of huge carp in a high pressure, shallow, super clear lake, what flies would you recommend? I need help lol

[@peelindrag113]

I've never fly fished for carp in a lake, but here is a link to one of my faviorate carp flies. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpnbamlsa6ago9k&list=PLbDs8acAbvq5gCgqvj6-6dcNf--llgIm-&index=10 The red tail makes it easier for sight fishing, but in a lake the carp may move around more which could make it harder to catch them.

[@brendansheehan6192]

awesome thanks man! the carp in the lake are really hard to catch, got a 15lb on my first time w the fly rod though. thanks for the advice, ill be sure to try that fly

[@IVORYDAGGER]

Greetings! I stumbled upon your videos a couple of weeks ago and have been watching more of them when I can! Great job on your videos and the fishing. I have been really enjoying the pike on a fly videos! Your videos are inspiring me to get dust off my fly rods use them more often! I'm curious about the pike fishing though. From looking at your site I have realized your are fishing in Michigan and pike are native to your waters, correct? I see that your catching pike in the summer. What the average water temps for the river you are fishing? What is a warm tolerable temperature range for the pike in the summer, or do you not really have to worry about that in Michigan?

[@peelindrag113]

I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying the videos! And yes, Pike are native in Michigan. I've never checked the water temp but I'd guess it's somewhere in the 70's. I fish for them in any temps, but the higher temps tend to make them a little more lethargic and for that reason I try to get them in quick and release them fast as well.

[@thomaskrocker1696]

Btw how well do you feel purple performs in general as a bait/lure color?

[@peelindrag113]

For pike I usually don't worry that much about color. I just like big flashy baits with lots of moving action.

[@wadeblevins718]

how do you like the clearwater rod for smallmouth and bigger fish

[@peelindrag113]

It's a great rod! I haven't had any problems so far. I may get a 9wt eventually just so I can make farther carts on lakes though.

[@IVORYDAGGER]

What weight is your fly rod ( I own some Orvis rods too) and what fly line are you using? I'm supper impressed with the fly line and how cast those big flies!

[@peelindrag113]

The whole set up I was using is listed in the description.

[@johnjoven1]

How long did it take to tie the Night Watchman? It looks scrumptious in the water! Great video- Take what the water gives you!

[@peelindrag113]

Probably 15-20 minutes. Sure is a great fly.

[@xd-ts1ps]

nice bait you did

[@davidmiller2388]

Are the beads you use plastic, metal or tungsten?

[@peelindrag113]

Plastic, any beads should work

[@najibghandour3710]

what rod do you use

[@STIML8ER]

Hey PD, really enjoy your stuff. The Night Watchman is a fly from Micheal Jensen, Scandinavian Dude I think, anyway he has a new version out. Again really like your stuff. ( maybe just slow down a tad, not a criticism in anyway, friendly suggestion 👍)

[@mikaelrantaoutdoors]

Love the music!

[@peelindrag113]

Thanks for the feedback !

[@spencerwilliams4864]

how long does it take in real time to make that dope ass fly bro...?

[@peelindrag113]

It usually takes about 15-20 minutes

[@bradprzedwojewski]

What area in Michigan are you usually fishing man?

[@peelindrag113]

I live in mid Michigan but fish rivers on both the West and East side.

[@bradprzedwojewski]

Peelindrag gotcha, I’m in the Lansing area. Just curious if we were fishing any of the same rivers.

[@niccastleberg4951]

Do you ever come up to northern MI?

[@peelindrag113]

Not usually much past the Houghton lake area unfortunately.

[@niccastleberg4951]

I know where Houghton lake is and go there once in a while.

[@richardwagervan2984]

I was just fishing houghton lake the other week and we hooked into 8 mid twenties and a couple low thirty inch pike and a few good walleye out of the strip when entering the North Bay awesome fishery there I love it I do.

[@richardwagervan2984]

BTW someone got into my utube account and changed my name it's not Richard it's john sorry

[@raivispudulis1420]

Do some sort of challanges. Like pike or bass fishing under 50€ etc. Thanks.!

[@freshwaterfishermen7421]

haha sweet man !!

[@cloutdoors8481]

Nice!

[@jayjay06513]

I know this is an older video and you've probably gotten better at it. But work on rippin' a wicked strip, rather than "trout" setting for hooking these fish. One can miss alot of bites doing that, myself included! Tight lines man!

[@lacrosse4100]

You're gonna snap your rod holding it that high amigo. Also when are you going to have me build you one? You need something flashy if you're casting flashy streamers

[@peelindrag113]

Yeah I need to remember to keep my hands on the cork.. how long is the building process?

[@lacrosse4100]

With ordering materials and everything 2-3 weeks depending on what blank and parts you want

[@ginofisherman]

[@richarddeboer8934]

Again nice video, great easy tying and also fishing. We have here in the netherlands same specimen Carp. Abonnement now and thums up, tight lines 😎

[@dickwhite7224]

[@1lupus]

If you ever get down to fish the Australian rivers, don't make a mistake and let European Carp back into the river. It is a criminal offence here, as they are so out of control.

[@Luke22322]

Plz don’t put your finger in the mouth of an carp Thats bad for HIM

[@xrsuperduper7660]

What reel are you using there Sir?
