I'm positive in the last 12 years Kelly has named 90+ favorite streamers of his hahah. And that's a joke- but I also get where he's coming from. Different waterways, different variations, different this- that etc. My top 5 1. Russ Maddin Circus Peanut (not that old commercial thing either- but the ones Russ ties) 2. Rich Strolis- Ice PIck Minnow 3. Thomas Harvey's Trophy Wife that I articulated and bastardized into my Gravity's Rainbow 4. Lafkas' Bit O' Envy- conehead peanut envy variant with a shank wiggle tail and a small size 2 or size 4 hook with a tungsten cone. Right at 3" the thing is awesome for smaller waters 5. Galloup's Sex Dungeon- just a classic and it produces in many colors and sizes. Great combo trout/smallie fly. Runner's UP Barely Legal, Boogie Man, Drunk & Disorderly, Lafkas' Brushhead Deceiver,
There is an angler who fished his last 'big league' angling competition this week, having been five decades on the competition trail in north America. And in his episode entitled, 'History and Techniques of the Rico Lure', he explains that how his father before him had fished with chugging lures, one that was known back then as a 'lucky thirteen'. The chugging lure was a slow bait that sort of drew fish out of hidding, or provoked them. And that by the time the son was growing up, witnessing anglers who fished using chugging baits (and that is now half a century ago from today), Rick Clunn in the episode about the Rico lure, he realized that anglers in his younger days had changed from fishing chuggers slowly, to speeding up the lures dramatically. There were adjustments and engineering changes made to the bait which had enabled it to happen. The point is though, there is a long back-story that exists behind the description that Kelly used of how to fish using a Flat-Liner today, in 2024.
🤘🏻😏🤘🏻Can we have another set of tying contests? I missed out, and I'm jealous. I don't want to go back to 2020. But I'd love to see an annual contest in all categories. Prizes could be nothing. Just for bragging rights and a chance to hang with the cool kids.
So basically, one would need one of the x-tra large Cliff's fly suitcases to house the five flies. I love streamer fishing, but I must be a lost ball in high weeds, because I have the same two streamers on my streamer rods that I had on in late June. Really. All I do is check for things like leader knots, bent hooks, etc. and re-tie if i have to. I have boxes and boxes of flies that get to go on each trip, but they hardly ever get to go fishing. I even leave the same flies on when I switch to smallmouth!.
Hi Everyone, I’ve been streamer fishing this river in Northern California with white river sized browns but they act super strange. I’ve done 20 floats on this river this season and haven’t caught a single one but I’ll have 35+ follows per float. I’ll even get them to follow in a figure eight but they never eat the fly. Another strange part is that they don’t hold in normal streamer water. Most of my follows come from 20-35 foot deep holes. They’re not holding in that 18-36” feeding water. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Study musky fishing and moon phases. Predator fish respond to triggers like moon rise/set (minors) and when moon is at zenith (majors). Feeding will turn on/off on a dime.
What about fishing at different times of day? If you’re fishing during the day they’re probably holding in those deeper runs, but dusk/dawn and nighttime you might be able to find more in the transition water
@@Norcalfisherr I would like to keep it a secret… out of the 2 years I’ve been floating it I haven’t seen a single other boat or bank angler. It’s in the Tahoe area.
@Podobed black, tan, olive, yellow, and white/cream are the only ones I've ever needed. I have brown and purple but on my local river (provo). I never had a good day on those colors.
It's HILARIOUS to me that Kelly just trolled everyone with his "top 5" lol. Just buy 2 of every one of his patterns and colors and you'll be fine. Surely that will cover 90% of his favorite flies lol
Kelly's Top 5 that ends up being Top 37 is the most Kelly Galloup thing I have ever seen.😎
Kelly Galloup math: "How many do I have here? 9? ok that's 4.5"
I saw the last short video. Kelly has taught me more with his videos than the 20 guide trips I have taken around the country. The guy just cares!!!!
The look on everyone's face at 5:46 is actually classic. Great video guys.
Great video guys, pretty funny. My favorite fly shop of all time.
The numbering 😂
Can I use Kelly's counting when I'm buying materials from the shop? :D
You should offer your favorite streamers as a package... all 37 for $200

Love the Allman Bros in the background
After all names came out, I almost forgot we were talking about fishing 😂

How do you come up with the names for your flies?
So basically, one would need one of the x-tra large Cliff's fly suitcases to house the five flies.

Top dry flies??
I really enjoy listening to you☕️☕️and hey squirrel hope all is well👍
Hey Jim, we are having a jolly good time here at the Slide! Squirrel 🐿️
I suck at streamer fishing but maybe there’s hope if I’m using the right flies. We’ll see.
That certainly narrows it down lol
Putting the mannequins behind the counter during off hours is a great idea!
Have you guys thought about doing a lottery give away on a box of 5 streamer flies?
only 11 minutes!? Is something wrong?
What was the name of the jig streamer?

The angle of your dangle isn’t congruent to the heat of your meat.
Which river?

Slap these in a box and sell them as your "top 5" kit
Very cool
I would say the flatliner and swimmin jimmy are too fun to fish
I’m liking this. I’d also like to borrow 50 bucks from Kelly.
Good list, I'd add a small cheech leech. In 5 or 7 colors....
favorite colors?
@Podobed black, tan, olive, yellow, and white/cream are the only ones I've ever needed. I have brown and purple but on my local river (provo). I never had a good day on those colors.
put em in an assortment and I'll buy em.
Rich killed me 😂
Fireable offense! Standing behind the counter! Lol
The size of fish you catch I'm surprised they don't ask what underwear you wear.
😂 Perfect "5 fly selection" bottom line...don't be a minimalist!
Don't be a minimalist if you're trying to sell streamers. That's what it is really all about.
I have caught more on Black Sex Dungeon on the Madison then any other
No wonder you’ve never caught a 30 on the white river

The length of this video is just right and it pisses me off!
💚
lol
Kelly marh is like trying to learn my kids, new math😅
This guy has no clue what he’s talking about.
