Foldable Kayak that I use in my videos: foldupkayaks.com/fishme

Did this today on my baitcaster. Caught 3 pan sized crappies and a few good sized bluegill with the fly. Also, my first bass of the year on a 4" Texas rigged bubblegum/watermelon yamasenko! Your videos have helped me stay positive during my most recent skunk-spell. Thanks man, keep up the great work!

The technique is called " Float and fly". When the fish are extra finicky add a tiny fly ( any version) on a short leader(6-10") tied to the hook of the first fly. This is especially deadly when the first fly is a popper. Fish that only come up and look at the first fly will hit the second.

The foldable kayak looks 🔥

I use a regular spin reel setup with 6 lb line an no leader. I cast it just like the fly fisherman do, you gotta have bout 10 foot or so of line hanging off, then wave it out into the water, once your fly is on the water, open ur reel an let a few feet more line out an flip the bale back down. Then you’re gonna yank the rod back an forth with fly in the air just like the fly fisherman do, an get the fly to land even further out into the water, then open ur bale an let more line out and do it again in same manner til you have fly where you want it. This video is cheating an that bobber is noticeable by the fish. I usually get a hit literally every cast using my approach. An as I’m typing this I got an actual fly fishing reel setup in the mail. Fish on!

Ive been doing this for years and trying to explain it without a reference. Thanks for the video.

This is the way i learned to fish. I use a clear bobber, a swivel, then a 6 to 9 foot leader depending on where i am, then match the hatch! Or use black wooly buggers. You can catch anything this way!

Not a fan of casting bubbles, if you're not able to cast way beyond the strike zone the odds of spooking fish are too great. Not stealthy. My favorite thing to do is remove the rear treble hook from a jerk bait and add a dropper, using different sizes and buoyancy depending on the size of the fly and where in the water column you want it like floating, sub surface and weighted. You sacrifice casting distance but worth it

The purists are about to come after this man

As someone who only catches bass as a predator fish I would LOVE to spend an afternoon catching those pickerel!

You can also use like 2lb line and tie a a fly it won't cast as far but still works just as good

Thank you for being self aware enough to post the link to the kayak LOL, i'll be buying myself one thank you

I used to fish a lot with my uncle back when I was in elementary school. I started to get back into it recently with my daughter and I’m starting to remember all the stuff I forgot about for so long. I totally remember using water bobbers now!

They are also called casting bubbles if anyone is interested in trying this technique

Those pickerel just keep haunting you man

Orrrr try to buy a rod and reel combo for 20 bucks they even come with some flies but it’s better to get your own or tie them I did this when I started fly fishing and have never gone back to gear fishing (unless I’m going for lakers)

I use a torpedo bubble when I pack into the Mountain Lakes works great

You should look into some British floats (bobbers), they are an art form over there! They're a lot more natural looking than something out of a bubblegum machine!

There's a pickerel in literally all of your videos lol. I take it they're common

What I used to do before I got a fly rod was I got my fly and tied it on the tied a line to about 6in off the bottom how over deep your fishing and put a nimph there and so that the fly acts as a bobber for the nimph. And then to cast far I put some spilt shot. Just 1 and I can cast 20 feet about.

It works grest for pan fish. I use this technique for my kids so they can learn how to use lures and so I have cut bait for kitties😉

This is how I grew up fishing trout in Wyoming. Didn’t realize this was a secret.

It's time to starting eating the pickerel.

This setup smokes trout. Lakes I use the large 5'-6' mono leaders and streams/beaver ponds where you don't have as much depth I'll try and set my leaders a little off the bottom. 4-6lb test (diameter match with braid if I'm casting from the bank) and usually some black or brown flies are a go to.

Naaaaaaahhhh bro, #1 fish on my list rn. I'm over in Iowa, so supposedly we've got them (there are several places that stock them) but as far as anyone I ask says, I gotta go to Minnesota

This is a highly effective technique that I've been using for 30 years. Just recently I started using it in salt water also. The biggest tough bubbles weigh just under 2 ounces and will cast a mile. Use a big white fly and you will slam schoolie stripers.

I’ve done this, you can also use poly balls I think they are called for this. I did it while in Hawaii fishing from surf.

Split shot with normal bobbers to cast further and help sink in current

I just use a 0.2 to 1 gram rod and cast a conehead wooly bugger or anchor nymphs with a big tungsten bead

I’ve done this for years I love it

It’s as simple as tossing a streamer with some split shot on your spin rod

I suck at casting the fly rod but I LOVE doing a float and fly with my ultralight spinning reel just to get on the board!

I love using this on steelhead largest steelhead I caught with it was 10.5 lbs

Just got my biggest largie of the year yesterday. It was a wacky rigged kvd ocho green pumpkin with gold and purple flake.

This must really work good. I saw some guys using this method with a small pink crappie jig. That's what I thought it was anyway. I was bass fishing, so I didn't really care. But I couldn't help noticing ,they had a fish on every 5 -10 minutes. Maybe the lake was stocked the lake the night before?😂

Pike-Pickerel supremacy

I’ll be giving this a go tomorrow!

Very useful video! I catch keeper rainbows, browns and brooks with this all the time

Sweet trick thanks brotha

I use the “lotta split shot” method it’s tried and true

Should I do like 1.5-2ft of leader since I don't have enough room to cast a 4ft leader nor is the water 4ft deep

I know I’m a nobody but I’m super excited for today opener starts today in my state and I need to wake up in like 4hrs

You can get a float called a mini bombarda,it's cheap,sinks slowly,is clear plastic,and can get them like 10 grams,so it doesn't cause a wake on the surface

The trout in my area would spook at the bobber lol

How to make foldable kayak

I use a steel head float with a fly under it and dead drift it there clear with a tiny tip of red on top great for clear water streams works better then my fly rod just not as fun

My dad showed me this when I was a teenager. Stupid effective lol

Use that method all the time. It works.

What kind of line do you use and lb test?

What brand fly do you use

I live in a golf course and idk if they stock but there was a huge splash at the pond. Probably a catfish. What should I use

Bombarda floats are effective too if you have that

The magic man was here

Been doing that for a while caught a few bass some how

As a fly fisherman it works

You should use clips because if you want to use rattle trap instead of tying it on you can clip it on

Should I get a folding kayak for fishing at my local pond or do you recommend a regular one? Also is there anything I should buy for kayak fishing to put in/on my kayak?

So I’m from Texas and we don’t catch trout or Pike or pickerel we catch bass and perch and the state record for texas for a largemouth bass is 18.18 pounds and my pb is 5 pound largemouth

How effective is it at catching a small pickerel? Looks to micro fish for pickerel in Michigan

My first three catch pickerel last week

Never had a good day on a fly and water bobber but i guess the trout i was going for wasnt used to it

Could you tell me the link to the video this is

Man I just tie a joe fly spinner especially in a river stream catches Fish like no other

Called whipping in Hawaii 🤙

Why the water bobber? Any issue with doing this with a weighted foam bobber?

How big do pikeral get

I use up to ten or more feet long leaders for trout here in Germany - not flyfishing either, so 4' doesn't sound long to me 😅

I actually tried to catch pickles because I’ve never caught them before

Nice i might try this

What should we use to catch perch? I'm not sure how to even set my rod up

This works really well in the mountains and small, rivers and streams where the brush is too thick to use a fly rod

You can buy a cheap Orvis fly fishing rod and reel combo for $150. Orvis is a very high end brand.

I'm using 3 ft of poly cord with a leader

I Tried this with a pop-r- took off front hooks & tied on tiny fly, but no luck yet👉👈

Or you can use a weighted float you can get a 3 pack for less than $2

I do this strategy all the time!

You’ll have to try some of those pickerel! Just be careful of the pin bones, other than that they are damn good eating, in my opinion

That’s not fly fishing, that’s slow retrieving a wooly bigger xD

Make sure you wear RED Converse high tops in front of all those cats with all their gear on !!!!!

Can you fly fish with an actual fly fishing rod next time in a video

You can get some really cheap fly reels and rods that aren’t that bad

How do you make that fly

Been using this for over 4 years, never fails, kinda sad it has been leaked tho

Where did you get your kayak?

Fly fishing set ups can be very cheap. You can get a whole starter kit for around 100$

Your a good fisherman

Has anyone hooked a 40+ lb fish on one of those folding kayaks? Serious question, not throwing shade. I need something I can carry deep into the woods by myself but I’m worried a massive catfish would drag that thing around like nothing 😂

One slight issue with this, you don’t experience the joy of fly fishing 😢

What's a pickerel?

Dude that's my rig! Lol my neighbor showed it to me and he's been using it forever on trout!

Caught a nice bass this way using a pistol Pete! Hit it so hard

i just drop shot rig it on a baitcaster

Dude I’m not sick of pickerel I can’t catch any😂

What is that fly called

WAAAAH I CAUGHT A FISH WAHHHHHHH

What rod/reel do u use

Just use ultra light rod 2-4 lb 2-8

Is there a specific place place where you can get these? Like is it a special item made by a company to order online? Or is it something I can walk into Bass pro or Walmart to buy?

I’m Hawaii the longer the leader the better

I need some help I am going to mossiori for the first time you have eny advice
