Welcome to our Instructional &
Miscellaneous Video section.
On this page, we've got videos of some of
our most popular tips for a chance for you to almost see in person what
we're trying to show you!
We also have a few of our "don't have a
home" videos here of Bob on vacation.
If you have some suggestions of videos
that you might like to see in this area, please
drop us a note and we'll see what we can find for you!
|
These videos might help you in your fishing ...
perhaps one day we'll add the one that shows you how to make a dink
float out of a Jack in the Box antenna ball. |

Making a Rag
By request of many of the
site's visitors, here's a video showing how to make and rig one start to
finish. Long video (approx three minutes), so the file sizes are large.
Sorry! But for those wanting to know, we think you'll find the wait to be
worth it!

The Blood Knot
One of the most useful
knots for both conventional tackle angling and flyfishing. Here's the knot
from start to finish. You can also find a pictorial instruction description
in the tips section.

Leaper on
the fly
After hiding in a
closet corner for a few years, we recently found this tape with footage of
one of the best leaping steelies we've hooked either on gear or a fly. Not a
terribly close-up video, but you do get to watch 8 separate jumps by this
wily fish.

Dumb and Dumber
We're still not sure which refers to
Bob,
and which to the fish. This video could also be put into a category called
"What NOT to do".
Going back more than a few years to his first attempts at landing a steelie on
a fly rod, Bob tries desperately to free an unseen steelie from a log on the far side of a
small slot ... this is one of those humbling videos of a fishing career and is indicative
of the determination that rests in the souls of many of us who chase after these often
too-elusive anadromous trout with the bugrod. One size only due to 4 1/2
minute length ... please don't laugh too hard at Bob ... remember, we've probably all been there at one time
or another! Great commentary my our long-time fishing pal, Art!

The Egg Loop
A brief instructional video on
how to tie the bumper knot or egg loop ... a standard part of any
conventional tackle salmon or steelhead angler. You can also find a detailed
step-by-step overview of the tying process in the
tips section.

The Sardine Wrap
Another
instructional video, this clip shows you how to properly prepare a sardine
fillet and attach it to a kwikfish for one of the best salmon lures around!
A pictorial description of the procedure can also be found in our
tips
section.

What would you do for a salmon?
This is one one of those video clips that got passed around
via email a couple of years ago. I think just about every customer that we've
ever fished sent us a copy of it. Pretty funny video, but apparently the
company that made this got in hot water for importing an entire salmon into
the country (We believe it was England), a big NO-NO! And no, don't expect
to have to do this on your trip to Alaska!

|
We plan on shooting a little more this winter and perhaps
we'll dig some older ones to transfer over as well! |
