Product Description
-------------------
How to aggressively fish streamer flies for trout is the
main subject of this video. Kelly Galloup developed this
break-through technique that has changed the way a generation of
anglers now pursue big fish with a fly. His jerk-strip retrieve
and big articulated flies have turned the chance of catching a
trophy trout into a predictable event. Key to why this has been
one of the best selling fly fishing videos for a decade is that
it is a systematic approach to pursuing big fish. In the video
Kelly explains his predator theory that his method of streamer
fishing takes advantage of. His goal is to put a big fly in a
predators holding zone and jerk it out, as if it is fleeing. He
is not looking for a feeding response but rather an instinctual
one. You will discover how he cast, retrieves, and animates the
fly to get big fish to take even when they are not feeding. He
also will show you, in detail, where to look for big fish, and
these places will surprise you. Years of observation and diving
showed him where big fish hang out when they are not actively
feeding, and this is where you will find them in most daylight
hours. If you want to fish for big trout this maybe the technique
for you, and in the video you will learn the whys and the ways to
do it.
Review
------
Kelly Galloup is a legend among those that seek truly
large Brown trout. His techniques and fly patterns are radical
but they are also extremely productive. Kelly has distilled years
of trial and error into two hours of some of the best
instructional information available on catching trophy trout. The
information is broken down into nine chapters or sections. These
chapters are The Predator Theory, Rigging for Streamers, Holding
Water, Fishing the Far Bank, Wade Fishing Streamers, Jerk-Strip
Retrieve, Boulder & Pocket Water, Mid-River Holding Water, and
Streamer Flies for Trophy Trout. Literally everything you need to
know to be successful at catching trophy trout in moving water is
covered and covered well. Two of the most interesting and
important items presented are the author's Jerk-Strip Retrieve
including the logic behind this particular streamer presentation
method, and the fly patterns developed by the author and his
system of fishing these patterns. Once you view this production
you will have been exposed to a master's system of catching very
large fish on streamers. If you have an interest in learning to
fish streamers effectively or to improve your streamer fishing
this production will give you the tools necessary to do it. The
production is well done with excellent cinematography, sound, and
script. The author's style produces an easy to understand and fun
to see production that clearly presents the information in a
useable manner. The only small distraction is the fact that the
navigation of the chapters on the DVD is a bit eccentric, not a
big deal, but a bit frustrating until you figure it out. This is
a well-done production in all aspects and presents tested
information to allow the viewer to have a jump-start toward
successful streamer fishing. A must have for any serious large
trout flyfisher. © 2004 Bruce E. Harang --Fly Fishing Website

Picked up this video after seeing Mr. Galloup give a presentation
in person. It's tough to find a good flyfishing instructional
video, but this one is excellent. Quite technical and full of
information on both technique and finding fish. --Fly Fishing
