I’ve been tying my droppers off a double surgeons lately. I rarely ever seem to get grabs on my first fly when running tandems off the back of the hook for some reason.
Hey Noah, cuz .. looks like the views increase exponentially when uncle Mark makes an appearance... 🤣😅. Keep crushing w these vids --> they are awesome & so are the fish y'all catch!! 🙌🏼🐻
Phew...Glad it's that easy, cause that I can do. Alot cheaper than hiring an orchestra to follow me around on the stream. Thanks Man! Great Savings!@@OutsidersOutdoorCo
Curious why you guys use such light gear at a fishery like that. In the NW we have lots of these fisheries(usually just below hatcheries) but people use much heavier gear so they can drag the fish in against the current. Eg. my go to bobber setup is a 9,6 ml 8-15# rod, 20# braid to 15# flouro leader, but in a hole like that people would be more apt to use a 10,6 heavy 20-30# rod, 50# braid/30#mono to 25# flouro leader. Light gear seems to be a thing in the midwest so I'm genuinely curious.
Yea, for some reason the fish are very line shy especially when the water clarity is crystal clear. You can use 15lb all day with no bites, but once you move to 12lb or 10lb they'll start hitting. Could also be because there is more pressure in the great lakes, so the fish are used to seeing the heavy line.
In that Niagara river current, lighter lb test line (8-12 lb test) will get the presentation down toward the bottom more effectively than heavier lb test (15 lb test or heavier) line. It's best to use rods at least 8 ft long if your leaders are less than 15 lb test, otherwise you're going to break off fish with shorter fishing rods and light-weight leaders. If your rod is less than 8 ft, I don't recommend going below 15 lbs test fluoro. As much as I loathe fishing with anything lighter than 15 lb test fluoro for Steelhead in the Lower Niagara (in general, even with longer rods), in strong current your terminal tackle won't get into the strike zone effectively with heavier line. People always claim Steelhead (and other species) are line shy...I've simply found that isn't the case. I've had miserable days with light lb test line and 20-30 Steelhead-to-the-bank days with my tackle tied directly to braid or heavier lb fluoro leaders, 15 lb or heavier. Always use fluoro leaders...use lighter leaders in faster current (as light as you can go without breaking fish off...again, longer rods allow use of lighter lb test line since they take pressure off the line). You can get away with heavier lb test fluoro in stained/calmer waters.

great stuff with these fellas.
Just started watching your videos for the first time. There really good keep up the good fishing and making good quality videos
Thanks Marty, will do!😎😁
Was just out there for a week laker bite was on some steelhead coming in for sure
Sounds like you had a good time! Smashed them the other day too👍😎
@@OutsidersOutdoorCo for sure i sent you a photo
Thanks for repping the reels. Greatly appreciate it and glad Trent got a CPR as well. Nice looking rig also.
No problem Danny, thanks!😎
I fish by the same spot
( the river ) , I was wondering where do you usually park?
is that the HD Skein Cane rod?
Yes👍
Another great video, great fishing and scenery!! Life's Good!! Tight lines guys!!
Thanks Tom, sure is, tight lines!😎
Nice ones man👍👍 always a few shady characters down there 😜 was that Pete on the milk crate
Hahaha definitely a lot of characters lol, yes it was🎣👍
Good job guys, can't wait to get out again.
thanks
I have been loving going to the platform. Everyone's just nice. I would love to meet you guys there sometime.
Yea it's nice down there, hopefully one of these day we'll run into each other! Tight lines🎣😎
I’ve been tying my droppers off a double surgeons lately. I rarely ever seem to get grabs on my first fly when running tandems off the back of the hook for some reason.
Interesting, I just tie a clinch knot directly on my 1st hook, I seem to get a pretty even distribution of hits on both hooks
Totally. For beads it probably doesn’t make a huge difference. The year round bead hatch is my favorite. Pisses so many people off for some reason 🤣
Do guys ever get lakers or browns at the platform that time of year? Good video tight lines from montana
Yea I've got them down there before, but steelhead seem to be the main catch at the platform, tight lines Keo!🎣😎
How long is the handle on your net when you’re fishing the platform?
Handle plus the net length is around 12ft👍 I've got the EGO S2 slider so it collapses to 4ft and you can detached the head for easy transportation👍
Love the content! You guys ever fish the Oak?
Thanks, never really fish the lake O tribs, but definitely would like to try to get some big ol browns🎣
The real combat is in Pulaski and Erie tribs.
Hehehe👍
That's not combat fishing.
Is it common for people to not reel up and get out the way there?
Mostly everyone will reel up for you👍
Yep. I've only been going there for a few months but everyone is rly nice there.

Thanks Dustin, I think I'll have to make him the CEO 🤣
How come the cool music is never playing when I'm out there fishing ??? (like in your intro) What am I doin wrong?
you must be putting a quarter in the jukebox, but it actually costs 50 cents lol

The fish here are very line shy they just wont bite with too heavy of a leader
