He is driven by the challenge of pushing the cutting edge of what can be caught on a fly rod and loves sharing angling adventures with others. A legendary multi-species Great Lakes guide, educator and industry ambassador, join us as we follow him on his chase in the Great Lakes.
Are there really Pelicans on Big Chicken Island in Lake Erie? You won't believe how many!
Unusual sighting have been happening since 2016 around the Great Lakes- when it comes to Pelicans that is. If you happen to venture way out there, like we do around the boundary waters of the US and Canada, you may come across some islands known as the "chicks". One of these islands, which is actually a reef by the way, called Big Chicken will at specific times of the year leave you scratching your head wondering, am I down south because the island is covered with Pelicans! But no, you are in the Great Lakes! The pelicans will make their way to the island in what seems to be a mile long train toward the island and once there they dance and prance on it's sand, eventually converging around the Jolly Roger flag as to say- Beware humans! Stay away! It's a really unique and fun thing to see.
Researchers noticed this behavior and started tracking it around 2016. They are studying the possibility of nesting in the various locations. Check out some of the resources we found below.

Fishing surrounded by Lake Erie water snakes in the Lake Erie Islands? Yeah, it's a thing.
Переглядів 750Рік тому
Growing up in the Great Lakes as I did, I remember vividly taking family vacations in the Lake Erie Islands, swimming in the Lake toward a floating raft only to be scared out of my mind when that floating raft had what I remember to be a pile of snakes sunning themselves or in my frantic swim away seeing one in the water cross my path. Yes- I'm afraid of snakes. But they clearly have more to fe...

How to eliminate top-hand push in Spey Casting? Think of it like the Double Haul.
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
One of the toughest bad habits we often pick up in Spey Casting is engaging the top hand, or what we call "Top Hand Push". It's an easy thing to start since we so often also do this as single hand casters when casting single-hand rods. In both cases it's not good mechanics nor generally desired. But have you ever thought of the bottom hand in spey casting like a double haul? In this video Jeff ...

Do you love fly fishing videos? Are there some that you go back to again and again because it takes you away and you learn so much from them? Have you ever wondered what goes into creating content like that? I'm here to tell you it's more involved than you know. It's one thing to use your phone and film a day on the water. It's an entirely different thing to create beautiful imagery and stories...
To improve your fly fishing, look at your casting. Here's why you should consider the right coach.

Why does casting matter when it comes to fly fishing success? Said another way, Capt Jeff Liskay says; "It's not that you have to be the best/ most beautiful caster, but you need to be comfortable competently placing the fly where it's needed under the angling conditions you are in for more successful fishing outcomes". Quite simply, a day fly fishing for rainbows is going to require quite diff...

2 hand fishing casts for Great Lakes migratory trout
keep em coming please?! I'm pretty much teaching myself how to do this and your videos have been far and away the best and easiest to understand....and trust me, I watch a lot of videos. Seriously the best. I know that I will be better next time I hit the water. Cheers
this is amazing. I'm a beginner and I am casting well but the more running i try to shoot, the more awkward my casts become. This is simple and straightforward and I can't wait to get out and put this tip to work.
Poor snake
This guy knows how to do it! Night fighig with my 8wt sink tip is my go too for walleye if im not on a boat 🍻🤙
Excellent
I’ve been casting a long time now and this video has helped me, thanks Jeff.
Do you use just a float tip in that slow of an area?
Thanks for the question Yes, you can use a floating tip with a weighted fly but I prefer to use a unweighted fly with an intermediate or intermediate/sink 2 tips when fishing slower moving runs.
@@greatlakesflyfishingwjliskay thank you for the reply:)
cheers
They're attracted to smell of urine🥸
In 1838 they be like, it was 17 foot long, monster
no no no that's wrong you don't push your right hand up forward like pushing open a kitchen door. that's completely wrong
Thanks for the input, we were just fooling around in the parking lot.
Sweet video … but Damn those clicker reels are annoying!
Thank you for watching and I get the clicker noise.
if so R. Gabel and Patrick Aerni say hello .......... I caught a 33" trout on Vermilion River........luckily....!
Congrats 🎉 That is a awesome trout for are region👊🏻
hey jeff ..... just wondering if you're the (legendary excavator operator) ....also cleveland's muskie champion????
This is good stuff. Pulling the rod straight is fmore efficient which takes less energy for more distance, better turnover, more fishing.
o look. the big bad snake is bothering Me in its home
Great information, you 2 are legends! Cheeres from TMF Sports
Thanks for the kind words and tuning in
I just can't see how there in the water?!
I was night fly fishing walleye before it was cool.
Omg how mean, imagine swimming and someone just yeets a fishing pole at you
sensitive freak its just a snake let it on its not gonna hurt you
💯, been casting into strong coastal wind for a decades. Picked up a double hand rob and you would think I've never used a fly rod
I’m terrified of snakes . It’s definitely not climbing on my boat . Idc what anyone on YT says about it 😂😂😂
Good image I will certainly use it when practicing my Spey casts
Are you the only kid from Mrs. Fox's class with his own youtube channel?
We went to Riverside together. You didn't have the beard last time I saw you

What if it got tangled up in her line😅
LOOKED LIKE A LAKE ERIE ANACONDA!!! OMG!!!
Its a small nother water snake non venomous and good to the environment and that women is over dromatic
Poor snake. If it would have been a dog or a cat people would hate you. But since it's a snake....
fr
That snake 🐍 was far from land, it was probably looking for land or someone to save it.
You uh do know there’s animals called watersnakes that live in lakes and oceans right?
@@moxe647 I found that out native to Ohio Islands 🏝 kelly Island, cawtoba Island.
You're going to have to show me that a snake can get in a boat.
Oh god annoying
Thanks for sharing!
🙏🏻you for the listen
Keep beating that drum brotha!
I will fish anything that swims never caught a drum before but looks really fun on a fly rod
Fresh water drum are super cool to catch on a fly. You can sight fish them on the flats or chase them off the edges of reefs, either way both are fun.
That's awesome Jeff! Would love to get out there with you brother!
give us a shout- it's fantastic
🤣😂🤣
tell me you have those funky intro jams playing through your earbuds while you swing deep and low!
why you don't show your casting as a demo for better understanding us?
Thanks Dan for the comment and suggestion. Clip was taking at the Muskegon River Spey Clave in Michigan and the cast portion was later in the demo. Thanks again and I will get a few clips out where you can see the the cast itself.
Great tips from two of the very best!
Is that north bass?
Is this rocky river in Ohio?
Yes it is, Just upstream of Rockcliff Springs Ford
It looks like a alligator on the left side
Nicely done Karen.
Thanks Dan👍🏻
Great video sir👍
Thank you, just thought it would be nice to share some of the highlights and issues that goes on before the final cut.
Great video sir👍
Best casting coach I've ever known. Time spent learning casting with Jeff Liskay translates into more fun on the water! His tips on how to apply casting to fishing are priceless. I can hear his advice in my head as I fish the spate rivers of the Great Lakes for steelhead. I catch more, more easily and with much more fun casting because of Jeff. He is also the nicest human being you could hope to meet.
Thank you so much Boris for the kind words. It is always a wonderful day when we get together to fish or practice are casting.
My time on the water with Jeff Liskay has been the most rewarding experience I have ever had in two decades of flyfishing and countless outings with guides. Jeff is brilliant, humble, extremely skilled. He is blessed with an ability to take each client to the next level as appropriate for that client. His knowledge of fishing and specifically Great Lakes fishing of all kinds is unbelievable in depth and finesse. His kindness, generosity and humanity transform clients and pupils into lifelong friends. His lessons "stick", bringing fish to hand long after the lessons or guided days with him. Guided days with Jeff are easily the best fishing memories of all.
As always 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻you so much Bo Looking forward to are next adventure 👊🏻
I've been two-handed casting for years and would cast worse as the day went on. This really helped break down what to think about when casting. Great info Jeff!
Thanks Jason for the listen and the kind words. Most of us struggle with are casting in there bullet points, casting fatigue, wading deep and wind. All can be defeated by controlling are D loop.👊🏻
