Lingcod have been know to migrate up to 1500 miles!
I caught a ton of fish on this jig, i get some funny looks since most people are used to fishing with rabbit but it absolutely works.
Nice work! Will be trying it!
One of the best tutorials I’ve seen…kudos! Also the Okuma Fly Rods at Trust Worthy are awesome and inexpensive. Was gonna buy 2 more this year (2024) but they had sold out by the 25th of July.
I love this set up! Do you think this rig would work well with a 3-way swivel with the main line from the pole attaching at the top and a 2 pound cannon ball hanging from the bottom and your rig attached to the side of the swivel so the ball bounces off the bottom?
I was in Soldotna hardware and fishing a few days ago
I sure miss Togiak. Many hundreds of fish Landing
I cannot for the life of me figure out where this is on the river. Its north banks but no idea how you access it anywhere
Step 1 dont
Why the annoying music?
Nice video. What is the mat that is being used to clean the fish?
what is the maximum distance between 1st guide with 2nd guide? suppose i am building 15ft simple spiral rod.
Would be a great video IF IT WASNT PLAYING THAT LOOPED ANNOYING RAVE MUSIC
started fishing this season, and got real tired of spending 4 bucks per lure just to lose two of them a day while learning to not be so terrible. Bought a kit to start making spinning lures from cabelas online, and it just showed up. Doesn't come with the wire forms. So i'm assuming that I can forego the wire form, and use fishing line like you state in the video. I have 8lb braided line, would that be sufficient? meanest things i'm grabbing around me have only been chain pickerel and bass
Awesome video!! I agree 1000% the trilene knot is a game changer for me. I switched from the improved clinch. So much great info. Thanks
Just came across your channel. Great looking jig. I’ve been to Alaska to fish the Kenia the last 3 years and brought up about using jigs( we use them for steelhead in Erie Tribs ) and our guide said wont work. Have you used these in the Kenia and if not would they work there??
Hi How would i fish with you guys? I'd have to reach you ftom the lower 48.
I won 🏆! ❤
I would prefer a firearm and would worry about the reporting after defending my life later. The problem with firearms are they are a pain in the ass to travel with. My research so far has shown the rules you must follow to be ambiguous. Typical beareaucratic BS.
Thanks for the detailed vid. I went into a fly shop a few years ago looking for the Rio swivels and was told that they didn’t stock them and that I probably need to work on my cast. You’ve convinced me to try making some of these and see how they work.
You show braided line that's no longer available? What is the alternative? I checked several stores and the braid is too thin to get a bobbin threader in. Is there some special braid I'm not aware of? I tried pre maid braided loops for your technique but they just fell apart. Any suggestions.?
He says Cortland makes an acceptable braided mono that you can use for this.
Great stuff!
Great job! Hope to see more.
Awesome fishing 🎣 trip! Beautiful halibut! Heading there this summer!
Nice 👍🏽 halibut! Bang ❗️
Thanks for sharing this series of videos!
Can't you do the same thing with a spinning outfit? What advantage do you have using a fly rod?
You can control the fish SO much better with a fly rod, thanks to the 9ft length! Which is also why they used a 9wt (aka 9#) rod, as it's beefier and a bit stiffer. (I don't recommend am 8wt) Personally I like 10wt rod, but 10wt are both not easy to find *and* their "Kenai Red" rod is only offered in 9wt. (it's a good rod though, and we have a few for our guests to use) However, the reels are, admittedly, less friendly, as the handle is directly on the spool... So if a fish takes off, that handle goes whipping around and will bash your knuckles if you aren't careful. So if you do get one, be sure to PALM THE REEL to slow it down, *_DO NOT_* grab for the line! The line will be moving out so fast that it *will* burn you from fiction on your skin! I can't speak to the quality of the Reddington reels or their drag, as I stick to Okuma reels. Regardless of brand, I suggest getting a "9/10" reel instead of an "8/9" _[the number corresponds to the rod "wt"]._ It's a much bigger reel, which not only balances the rod in your hand better, but makes it easier to palm and stop a fish if it decides to run.
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE 8:43 Kenai Red rod comes in 8 and 9wt. I’ve used the 8wt for 4+ years now and love it. Used to use high end Gloomis 9wts only to have them break. Fortunately Gloomis will replace them. No need for high end rods flipping for Reds.
@@Randy_Savage_ohyeah The beauty of getting them at Trustworthy is they'll replace it if it breaks! They're the only place we shop for rods now, for at least 20 years (back when they used to be in a small building in the Safeway parking lot). 8wt is definitely fine for Reds, and even Silvers, but I still personally prefer a 10wt ☺️ I just like the control it affords me. Though I'll admit, I'm less in it for the sport these days, just wanting to hook them and get them in quickly. I did bring up an old Ugly Stick ice fishing rod, tossed a fly feel on it, and caught a Red that way... just to say I did (recorded it, if course lol). Granted, I WAS using the heavy line... The downside was the rod has a foam handle and the actual rod only goes a few inches inside it (not a "full tang").
Can't wait to try these on the Columbia River...
I'll be there in July.
WHY?? Do you have to ruin the show with shitty music?
So would the power generation station suffer if the dam is demolished?
Yes. Very much so.
See you this Summer!
One trip a couple of years ago I would say, my group of fishing friends and I decided to stop there after eating at pizza boys, so I do believe the one in the video with a few others were all mad because we walked in just before closing. Now this would have never been an issue years ago when they were just around the corner from Godfather's pizza that is no longer there. Anyways, all these years, trustworthy is still the place to stop because they know how to keep things for fishing stocked and they sometimes have things that I cannot even find here in Alaska's biggest city, which a few places here seem to stock a small amount of things to never replenish stock once it is gone and goes on through the whole salmon season, so these places here should be ashamed that trustworthy outshines them in this dept, which I am sure trustworthy sees more people since a lot from all over visit to fish.
fukashima has effected the ocean as well as the blob.
Do you use any type of bait in the lower J-Hook?
Best I’ve seen on YT👍
I can't hardly wait for September to get here so I can get on the water with you guys!!

Fished and stayed on Kenai in 2007...great Silvers
Hey Marcus, I read all of your articles in fish Alaska. I notice most boats up there use Scotty downriggers. We use cannons here in Idaho. Just wondering is that the preferred and why?
Hi Kevin, Scotty and Cannon both make quality downriggers and I think its just a matter of personal preference.
Great demo, very professional. So many people I see in Alaska use zero ice and drag their fish in the dirt. I went on a charter one time for silvers. 36 fish in the boat, 75 degrees and sunny, zero ice in the above deck fish box. The meat was basically MUSH. Very disappointing.
2:03
Great video with a ton of information, wonder if this style of fishing would be effective in the frog water of the Kenai.
I now have 5 Kenai Red rods from Trustworthy in Soldotna! My family broke all the high-dollar fly-rods, and the rods are the best deal for $67!!!
spell ganyon cord. I cannot seem to find it on google. Am I mis-spelling it?
It’s called gangion cord. Commercial halibut fisherman use it instead of monofilament line.
Great video!
We absolutely love this gal. She is so friendly and very helpful! When we are in Soldotna every summer, we always make a point of stopping at our favorite fishing and hardware store.
Awe! We agree. Haley rocks. Their whole family knows how to take care of their customers.
What a kick in the ass. I just came across this video. It looks like you finally perfected your smoked salmon bro. I miss fishing with you man. I left Florida and am in Arizona now. I'm going to metal detect here through the winter and come spring I'm moving to Montana. Can't wait to fly fish in Montana. I remember when we were making smoked salmon in my carport on East 43rd Ave. Boy that was some good candied salmon. Miss you brother give me a call if you get a chance. C-note
Like your technique. What kind of Gamakatsu hook hook do you use for that?
