In follow up to Shane's question, I'm 72 and struggle seeing and tying on flies as well. What works for me are high magnification reading glass (+5) which are available on Amazon for about $23 for a two pack. I find this work much better for me than the flip down magnifiers. I keep them in my top shirt pocket so I know exactly where they are. I also use a Knot Needle for tying tippet to tippet rings and a Cinch Tie Knot Tier (brass) for tying clinch knots (flies to tippet) and triple surgeons for tippets and leaders. I also use a Dennison Blood knot tool for making Euro leaders.

AS A FELLOW "OLDER ANGLER" I RECOMMEND A MAGNETIC HOOK HOLDER TO USE WHEN CHANGING FLIES IT CA BE CLIPPED TO VEST EASILY WITH SHORT LANYARD

Hoppers, hairs ears, elk hairs, pheasant tails, stone flies nymphs, worms, and perdigons. Practically all I use.

Ok, lads watching this. Take all these flies with a huge grain of salt if you're fishing the provo river in Utah. Toss all of them out the window except the size 18-32 midge, and add to that the size 16-22 sow bug and those 2 patterns are all you ever need and if you're fishing anything else, you're going to quite literally die of frustration....❤😂

Sorry to hear you got sick Spencer but glad you are on the mend. Mending is important in fly fishing! My fishing guide had to cancel a trip I had so looked forward to for nearly a year because...he got SICK!!! There is a NASTY bug going around. Much smaller than a midge #30 I think...This is an excellent presentation on essential flies. I would add that once you get your particular home water dialed in, you'll find that there are a just a few patterns you really need by season. Here's a trick for you to try with your Pat's Rubber Legs: Bend it! Just take your hemostats and put a little bend in it. For some reason...it really works. TRY IT!!!

Great info on this podcast. This year I bit the bullet and bought dedicated prescription polarized brown colored lenses Wiley X brand sunglasses complete with bifocals. It certainly helps with eye strain but my big surprise is how it has made me a better wader. Since these lenses are impact rated I also use them for other tasks too. Thank you for your show!

Literally for trout I just put on a wooly bugger and I have never been skunked in any of my local trout lakes here in Northern Alberta anyways, I cannot even remember when I have ever tried anything else it's always the fly I put on first and just start catching fish with it so just keep with what is working

Spencer, sorry to hear you've been sick. Glad you're on the mend and feeling better. Great info once again as always. You guys are knocking it out of the park!! So helpful for this newbie. Couple of questions. Old eyes lol. As we've begun to get a few hatches hear in NC, most are very small. Trying to match size is almost impossible because I cannot see my fly. Help, suggestions. It's extremely frustrating. Next, do you guys sell your hats and swag on the website? Only right that I rep for you guys with all the help you've provided. Thanks again for the great work and content you guys create for us

This was an excellent video! The fly choices can be so overwhelming at times. Its nice to see the basic choices for each category without all the confusion. As far as flip down magnifiers, they are awesome!! I use mine all the time. Lasik ruined my ability to see up close and tie on small flies.

Awesome video thank you!

Well him being from Texas he should probably think about having bass and panfish flies. Not the trout flies unless he only fly fishes a couple of times a year

biggest fish first year was 15". Then I caught a 26" monster brown on a 20 zebra midge...

@andyyun1162 22 күн бұрын

This is unbelievable, isn't it? It's so stinking tiny that I almost thought it didn't work, until I finally caught a 16" one on a size 22 black zebra midge.
