“ indubitably”.. 👍🏽🤠 God bless live well and be safe..! I’m with you 100% I was actually rolling it to the side! Actually going in a 3/4 circle! I’ve got it pretty good I get it where I want it but I’ll be darned if I knew it was that easy and that much more accurate! Love fly fishing but you really gotta learn first! Spent my first year without a bite. I was using what looked cool. I’ve written pamphlets on bait fishing. Never used a fly! Now days those suckers have no chance! I make leather lutes I’m trying to get out to be sold too.. God bless be safe out there!

End the forward motion with a crisp / abrupt stop while it is still fairly high (2 o'clock?). Point the tip of the rod where you want the flyline to go.

@@renegadeflyfishing do you do alot of small creek fishing? If so, any tips and advice for them? I live pretty far away from good trout fishing country, so my best options near me are usually pretty narrow creeks

@renegadeflyfishing Жыл бұрын

@@terrykrugii5652 Yeah I do a bit of fishing on small streams and when I do I use my 7' 3 Wt fly rod. That helps me from getting tangled as often and the rod is easier to wield in the tight spaces, and I'm usually not casting that far. Another unorthodox trick I've used it to take my leader off and tie on some tippet material directly to the end of my fly line about 3' to 4' with a blood knot. Just be careful not to trim off your fly line. Iv'e found I need to be a little more sneaky when fishing the small creeks because the fish seam to be a little more skittish. Hope that helps!

@@renegadeflyfishing thanks much appreciated.. hey my boy and I carve lures and bobbers from wood and cork.. he does a bunch of video game and cartoon characters. Mostly bobbers. I’m doing some bass poppers now. By chance do you have any tips on catching bass an easy way. Doing a rig with some kind of work a little above the weight works excellent! Almost a 100% when the fish are there. Not so good with a fly pole due to the weight and casting. I want my kids to feel the bass.. I know they keep on it they’ll get ‘‘em but with bait I’m already writing a little pamphlet on fishing. I’ve got a few ways that seem to work 9 out of 10.. I’d love to market the whole thing but all these people want to scam me. There’s one I started with and I’m just waiting to see it in stores. Anyway any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.. God bless and stay safe out there!!! Yup looking for the easiest way for kids to catch bass on a fly pole.. “PLEASE”🤠👍🏽

@bobdickson188 9 ай бұрын

You're bringing the rod tip too low on the forward stroke. That's why the line is landing first and the fly last. Stop the rod tip at about ten o'clock and the line will straighten in the air, then fall parallel to the surface.
