4 жыл бұрын

In which Jon Anderson and Steve Heimler of Good Buddy Fly Fishing join their friend Big T for a day of fishing on Georgia's trophy trout stream, the Soque.
It didn't matter if we were euro nymphing or indicator fishing, we were catching the trout of a lifetime. And Big T gave us some good pointers about how to fight big fish.
We hope y'all enjoy coming along with us!

Nicely done boys! Congrats on not having any haters lol. 86 thumbs up with none down, gotta love it. That was an EXCELLENT tip about fighting fish. Glad you got that on film. I fish fish similarly. I talk about putting a "C" in the rod. It helps tire the fish, keeps them down, and also keeps them ahead of you in the current. Nothing worse than an "alligator roll" down stream with rod tip up. That is a certain recipe for disaster. Great video as usual, and look forward to the next!

Awesome content fellas! I'm moving to GA for the the Army. From PA and have gotten spoiled fishing the waters here. I am so glad to see there is some wonderful fly fishing down in GA! Are any of these trout wild or are they stocked? They look beautiful! My brother and I run a KZfaq channel called backyard angling. Maybe we could meet up and fish sometime in the next few years!

@GoodBuddyFlyFishing 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Daniel, sorry it took so long to reply. There are some really good wild trout fisheries in North GA. There are also several pay to play places as well that hold some big fish. Hit us up sometime, we are always down for some collaboration.

Hey what is the cover over your rod handle and reel seat? Is that an accessory or part of the rod? Never seen that before. Is it just a fashionista thing or does it have function?

@GoodBuddyFlyFishing 4 жыл бұрын

It’s the handle of the rod. It’s called Arctic silver Zense. The butt section of the rod is seated down inside the handle rather that the top. The intent is more power with less effort. I just started using it a little while ago and like it a lot so far.

If you visit the soque again i recommend "rivers edge on the soque" their fish are so much bigger than most of the other guide services and you catch them almost every cast i recommend Jacob Brewster as your guide he'll get you on a fish that could be close to 20lbs

@GoodBuddyFlyFishing 4 жыл бұрын

I don’t know much about fishing, but I’d like to, and don’t understand why everyone I’ve seen fishing rivers & lakes on KZfaq has been throwing their fish back. Are people fishing only for sport, with no intention of keeping any fish, or are the fish they’re throwing back unlawful to keep? Thanks.

@GoodBuddyFlyFishing 3 жыл бұрын

It’s not illegal to keep fish but in some cases there are size restrictions, seasons for certain species. A lot of private water is catch and release only. It’s a preference thing. We like to let them go and let someone else enjoy catching these fish. Also, some fish aren’t that good to eat.
