Hey Alvin, ROOKIE angler here. I was wondering why the laughter at the strike indicator nymph fishing rig. Is it this style of rig outdated? Has it been replaced by Euro nymph rig or what is it? Just trying to get a grasp on all this fly fishing knowledge. Thanks man I love your vids

@@DonJulio213 When I was a trout guide in Colorado the indicator rig was my last choice. Only if nothing else worked. I know it's the go to rig for a lot of people and sometimes it is the only way to catch fish, but I think it has become a crutch especially for a lot of guides. If you have beginners you can put on an indicator and they can catch fish, but at the end of the day they don't really know much more about fly fishing than they did at the beginning of the day.

I live in western Washington State in the Great Pacific North West. We have some decent largemouth and Small mouth fisheries up here. Frankly, until recently, I have largely ignored them.... As our summer weather continues to get warmer every year I have found myself shutting down stillwater trout fishing earlier and earlier. Last summer I targeted Bass on the fly for the first time... with zero success. I am very thankful that I found your channel!

As an age 77 senior, I wade fish for trout, but want to step up to a 7 or 8 weight fly rod system for bass. I do not own a boat, so shore and wade fishing will be my presentation method. Having fly fished for decades, I am wondering if on of my 9 foot bamboo three piece rods would work for bass. These rods are generally 3-piece 7 weights, cast well, and have good reserve power. The down side can be that the guides may be small to accommodate today's fly lines. The classic bamboo rods were designed for silk fly lines which are smaller in diameter, so I may have to remove the original guides and whip finish larger stripper, snake, and tip guides on one of these rods. The bamboo rods are heavier than the graphite fly rods these days, so a full day of casting requires some conditioning which I am up for. I will also get a 9 - 10 foot bass 4 piece bass fly rod in case the cane proves too much to handle. What weight and length graphite bass fly rod may I consider for large mouth bass in lakes and small mouth bass in smaller rivers, keeping in mind that I wade using breathable chest waders? I tie my own flies and make leader systems. Ron, NE Iowa.

@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing You might like this. I hate itty bitty flies of any kind. I don't mind that I can't see them on the water. That goes with the territory. But I do mind tiny hooks and gossamer-thin tippets. A few years ago I said the hell with it, got a bunch of size 18 blue wing olive wet flies, and tied a piece of 5x to the hook of a Stimulator. Stimmie stops or disappears, fish has taken the BWO. But the Stimmie eventually gets soaked. So I started using a small panfish popper, white or orange. The kind you get in a pack of 12 at a big box store. I get some funny looks from the die-hard trout guys -- who are still trying to tie on their size 48 BWO on 17X tippet.

I'll be the odd man out and say that a 5wt rod can work for bass fishing. I use my 5wt on rivers while wading to fish for bass, usually with a sink tip line and streamers but if I get onto any calmer water I have a floating line and poppers to use. The only thing is (and you mentioned this) is that I can't really throw any super large flies. But I've still caught some decent sized bass on a 5wt, the fight is super fun too. Might look into a 7wt rod tho, would be nice to try and target some bigger fish that I might be missing out on.

Thank you Alvin for this informative and well presented series! Question about using your popper fly when blind casting - is there any benefit to attaching a small unweighted streamer a couple of feet behind the dry, similar to a a dry dropper rig for trout? Seems like it might increase the odds of inducing a strike but maybe not worth the chance of getting a tangle?
