Hey Matt, I have a tip that I think will help your success. Especially when you are nymphing, when you see your bobber go under you should set the hook downstream instead of upstream. When the trout take your fly, their head is facing upstream, so by setting your hook upstream, you often times are ripping the flies out of the fishes mouth. It feels kind of unnatural at first, but I promise it will help you land more trout.

Key advice
@gokucrazy222 жыл бұрын
i'm assuming this is when you're casting perpendicular or upstream to the current, but what's a good way to set it if the fly is already downstream of you?

Nice fish. Been a bugslinger for many years. Some simple things to remember and go by are you want to look for structure so remember," Rocks rock." Fish like shelter especially if theres sun on the water, so you want to look for shade so remember ," Made in the shade." Fish areas shaded by trees , rocks ...etc . fish the edges of the shaded areas before floating or nyphing into the shaded areas. Third, " Foam is home." Fish foam runs or around blobs of foam on the water. Look for seams as well. Seams separate the faster water from softer water. Float down the seam as they'll be in the softer water looking at the seam. They dart in to grab food in the seam and back to the soft water. Look at water depth and fish close before stepping in. So, Rocks, rock. Made in the shade. Foam is home. And look for those seams. Thanks for all the vids.

It's nice to see you experimenting with styles you're not familiar with. I think that's one of the reasons i enjoy watching you so much; your joy in trying new things. I realize this is from several years ago, but I'm happy you're still experimenting. The underwater fishing you've done recently comes to mind. Hoping you never loose that aspect of your personality.

I really enjoyed this one. My dad and most of my brothers used to go up to Bridgeport every trout opening weekend for close to 30 years. I was fishing both sides of that bridge on the East Walker River every opening Saturday at sunrise for most of those. Man, it was cold! Not easy fishing but there are some really big fish in that river below the reservoir.

A note on floatant -- just work it into the dubbing on the body if you want to fish on the surface. When the floatant gets into the elk or deer hair, that hair will lose its natural float quality and it won't drift properly on top -- unless you want it to be just subsurface -- which sometimes works better!

Hey Matt, Its awesome how much better you've gotten at fly fishing!! My advice would be to just keep adding more weight than you think until you're hitting bottom about every third cast, and to ALWAYS set the hook downstream since the fish are faced upstream and you probably pulled the fly right out of their mouths a few times this video. Great video though and keep it up!

I can relate.. not a clue what I am doing, but learned alot from videos like these. If you only post the good videos, people think that is just an average day. Truth is, there are good days and bad days.. but only the good days are shown online. Until now.
