Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/157
I sat down with Brian Wise from Fly Fishing the Ozarks on youtube. Brian is a huge player in the streamer game producing some amazing fly tying videos on his channel. We talk about fishing giant streamers on the North Fork of the White River.
We hear the background of how Brian could dunk the hoop at a height of 5’8” and was on his way to a scholarship when a blown out knee crushed his dreams. But, this is also how his fly fishing career came to be.

Show Notes with Brian Wise
- We talk about the Cake video with one of Brian's first fly tying videos that gave him a nice kick getting started.
- We talk about Kelly Galloup, Rich Strolis and others which are some of the flies Brian Ties. Kelly was on the podcast here and Rich Strolis was on here.
- Here’s the fly tying tips video series which is a little different than the typical fly tying videos on Brian's channel.
- The Double Deceiver fly is the goto pattern tied by Mike Schmidt. This is off of Lefty’s Deceiver pattern.
- Brian uses a Clackacraft and fishes and casts to the areas that are prime for predator brown trout.
- I noted the Martin’s Boat movie and the big water. We went on a little drift boat tangent here.
- The Knucklehead fly pattern will be out with Montana Fly Company in 2021.
- Brian is also doing the video for the Fly Men Fishing Company.
- The Fly Men Tester video by Brian Wise. If you need a swim tank for your flies this might be the solution.
- The new tornado anchor
- We both use Sawyer oars. I should get them on for the drift boat series.
- The knucklehead pattern and the lap dancer are the top 2 flies.
- Gunnar Braemer's youtube channel is a top 2 channel along with the fly fish food guys.
