Good video for the yarn set up. I don't like what you said about the fly set up for beginners. I've been fishing the Kenai for reds for 30 years now and I just use the fly or bare hook with a bead set up and I always limit out. I use the split shot set up because I can change the weight anytime depends on the current and how high the river is running that day. I noticed that most people using the egg weight usually gets a lot more snags. Everyone has their own preference but using flies is definitely not for beginners.
yeah it works nice and its all right there. Just sharing what someone shared with me in in the early 90's. I've been doing it ever since. Thanks for the post. Good luck at the river. Getting close to time to head to the Kenai............
Nice beginners video. May I add the following. The “fisherman’s” knot is called a “clinch” knot, if the tag goes through the first loop. It is called the “improved clinch” knot the way you tied it. By putting the tag through the second loop. In any knot on mono or fluorocarbon line the line must be moistened before cinching the knot. Thus, eliminating the generated heat and reducing the line/ knot strength. A small plastic or glass bead between the egg sinker and the barrel swivel will insure the knot at the swivel is not weaken by the hit of the egg sinker on each cast. The rig is called a Carolina rig. I am sure lots of nformation on UA-cam about the Carolina rigs are posted. Here is an OK one……ua-cam.com/video/rLTOVllkvgI/v-deo.html Should have moistened the line.
Its also good to wet knot prior tightening the knot
Thanks for sharing your hook-up with us. I wet my fishermens knot on my tongue before tightening to prevent line burn. Cheers, Billy in B.C., Canada

look simple but not everyone especially new anglers know how to make it.. thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video, it was a great help!
Great idea on the yarn box!

Thank you about to hit the klutina for some reds!
It's called an improved cinch knot.
Thank you!
Do you live in AK?
That hook is not
legal for the Russian River.
