First video if yours I've run across and really enjoyed it. Grew up fishing small rivers in WV but I've never did the big coal. Congratulations on a good day fishing 🎣
I truly enjoy your videos. I live in northern WV and i love smallmouth river fishing. Just got some of the lures that your using and I'm looking forward to trying them.
There is nothing I like better than wade fishing small streams. Yes I belonged to a bass club yes I had a bass boat but there is no where I would rather be than wading a stream with a fly rod. The variety of species you can catch is unlimited along with the numbers.
Hey, I love it too but as far as the fly fishing, I’ve never done it. I’ve never been in a kayak either, maybe one day, but I really do enjoy wade fishing myself.
Heck yeah! Looks like heaven. I love Nikko baits! They even work in AZ! I wish I was wading with you! If they miss it. Stop for a second, and then move it a little. They’ll eat it
Great video! Over 20 smallies in one day is stellar. I catch a lot of smallmouth with the Nikko hellgrammite in the natural color, but I'll have to try those colors you were using. I fish it with a Ned rig jig.
Oh I hate snakes. Fortunately I didn’t run into any of the past year. I’ll try to always keep my eyes open. I’m starting to love the big coal River. thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.
Lol you never know we’ll see what happens. I just try to get better and better making these videos. I have a lot of fun doing it as well. You never know they may reach out to me.
@@JohnLee-ud2gm that’s not a very big hook is it? i’m not sure what size those are that I use but they’re 1/16 ounce bullet weighted offset hooks. It’s generally what I use.
@riverfishingwithfrank No a size 1 is bigger than a size 4.After size 1, it goes to 1/0,2/0 and so on.1/0 is bigger than size 1,2/0 is bigger than 1/0.Basically The smaller the number the bigger the hook until you get to the ought sizes.
@@JohnLee-ud2gm if one is the biggest, that’s definitely too big. maybe not on the bigger 4 1/4inch hellgrammite. But for the 3 inch hellgrammite it’s definitely too big

When throwing the helgrammite do you just cast and straight retrieve?
I’ll let it sink twitch it let it sink twitch it just keeping it up off the bottom. No I don’t real straight in. I will twitch it every now and then.

Is a size 1/0 hook too big for those hellgremite lures for smallmouth?Thanks

@@riverfishingwithfrank A 1/0 is one size bigger than a size 1
@@JohnLee-ud2gm a size 4 is bigger than a size 1 right? or am I wrong?
