Nice! How important is it to match the hatch with flies? And if a spot gets a lot of pressure with flies do fish get wary of certain patterns?
@thecalfisher
@thecalfisher 23 күн бұрын
Matching the hatch is important only if the trout are specifically feeding one type or stage of insect. Even then, a suggestive pattern in the right size and shape will work better than an exact imitation. When the fish aren't keyed into a hatch, then pretty much anything presented correctly will catch them. Of course, some fisheries are so pressured that things like shiny beads don't work because they scare the fish. For instance, the shad on the American River won't eat bright, shiny beads this year (at least thats what I've found) but are fine with anything that looks remotely like a mayfly as long as it has a dark shiny bead like purple or nickel or a matte brown or olive bead.

Thank you! Yes, I am for sure going to try streamers sometime (especially because there are massive browns in there) but streamers and jerkbaits tend to not catch as many fish as nymphs so I just wanted to get some fish before I moved on to targeting bigger fish. 90% of a trout's diet is drift feeding (eating bugs that flow down to them) so thats why nymphing and float fishing with bait work better than streamers, spinners, or jerkbaits.

@@thecalfisher true. depends on location and time too ig. Like if there's a ton of bugs everywhere they wont spend that extra energy on chasing down small fish. vs when theres only a few bugs available, it might be more worthwhile to go for other species. example is lake tahoe, those big rainbows and browns cruise the shoreline looking for easy-to-catch crayfish hiding between the boulders. so they dont have to spend much energy and they eating a lot too --> big fishies As for Al, most of his catches (at least the recent ones) have been on normal/big streamers im pretty sure. which posts were the lil flies?

HORRIBLE VIDEO!! The practice of showcasing two products in a single video often falls short of providing meaningful insights to consumers. These videos tend to prioritize surface-level comparisons of visual aesthetics over substantive analysis of product features and benefits. As a result, viewers may be left with a superficial understanding of the products, hindering their ability to make informed purchasing decisions. Furthermore, the proliferation of these showcase videos can exacerbate consumerism and materialism within society. By emphasizing the appeal of product appearances without delving into their functionality or value proposition, these videos contribute to a culture that prioritizes style over substance. This can lead to impulsive buying behaviors based solely on visual appeal, rather than considering factors such as quality, durability, or practicality. In addition, the prevalence of product showcase videos may inadvertently promote excessive consumption and wasteful spending habits. By glamorizing the acquisition of multiple products and encouraging viewers to compare and contrast their visual attributes, these videos fuel a desire for constant novelty and accumulation. This can perpetuate a cycle of consumption that not only strains individual finances but also contributes to environmental degradation through increased production and waste generation. Moreover, the emphasis on showcasing two products in a single video can create an unrealistic standard of comparison for consumers. Products may be selectively presented or manipulated to highlight certain features while downplaying others, leading to a skewed perception of their overall value. This can result in disappointment or dissatisfaction among consumers who base their expectations on the curated content of these videos, rather than real-world performance or utility. In conclusion, while the practice of showcasing two products in a video may appear informative at first glance, it often fails to provide a comprehensive understanding of their merits and drawbacks. Instead of focusing solely on visual comparisons, consumers should seek out more in-depth reviews and analyses that consider a broader range of factors, such as functionality, quality, and long-term value. By fostering a more critical and discerning approach to consumption, individuals can make more informed choices that align with their needs and values.
