Thank you, the cicada hatch is insane here right now

they were blowing up all around me on the cicadas, seen a larger one miss a cicada and turn around and hammer it a 2nd time

Was this at bennett springs? I went last weekend and had some luck with larger dries (probably because of the cicada hatch) but most of the fishing was tough according to everyone I talked to.

@@ReelAnglerReviews Montauk state park, down on the current river outside the park(blue ribbon area)

@Noquanutflies Nice! That's the next MO park I'd like to go to. I've been to RR and go to Bennett once a year usually.

if you go to Montauk, be sure to fish outside the park on the Current as well if you have a chance, you don't need a trout tag, but you do need a trout stamp on your fishing license, and less of a crowd, if at all

thank you

Thanks for watching

My pleasure

Yes it was!

Glad you enjoyed it

I've lost many of fish by reeling in the excess line and letting the fish just sit there, I know there's a chance it may tangle, but I'd rather get the fish in as quickly as possible so it can be released.

@@Noquanutflies you 100% have too much line out. There are a lot of areas you will have your line snag up and will cause you an issue in the long run. Also, it’s apparent have been making casts without picking up the slack, you will lose more fish in the long run dude. That is a garuntee.

For me, it's a good place to start

Thanks 👍

been fly fishing for almost 2 decades, this video is more about enjoying nature, reflecting on questions I've been asked, and honoring someone who influenced me

this video was more about just enjoying the beauty of my surroundings, reflecting on questions I've been asked, and honoring someone who was a big influence for me to start a channel

Varies from state to state and even river to river.

it really depends on the state, and areas being fished, this stream doesn't have any hook regulations

thank you

thank you

Glad you enjoyed it

i was able to find surgical scissors at a state fair a few years back, still sharp to this day

Any time!

Glad you enjoyed it

I was there also on the 23rd of July as well, I'm playing catch up right now due to a new job and with harvesting, prepping and storing/canning vegies from my garden

Yep, I actually had you on video after this spot when I came around the corner. I edited it out as there's no "action" going on for awhile.

Glad you like them!

I vary the depth by just putting the tip of my rod into the water column, and either wait a bit and then start stripping, or start right away and have the fly get lower with each strip. I try not to add any weight(s) as I've seen the fish chase the weight instead of the fly. You can also use slow sinking line with this fly as well to get the same results

Glad you enjoyed it

I usually strip it back in 3-6 inch strips, with a change of either constant or intermittent, I also sometimes will put the tip of my rod all the way down until it almost touches the bottom before retrieving it, if you have a slow sinking line , this will work even better. I use it this way because it woks for me(as you can see in the videos), some people will let it float on the surface first before retrieving it, but I put lead wire wraps underneath the braid first.

@@Noquanutflies Appreciate you taking the time to answer. So much to learn!

for me it's been white, off white, yellow, yellow/white, and occasionally yellow/pink. See my video " Using a fly some people hate" , I use this fly in that video(white)

thank you

I've been really lucky this year with all the Browns I've been able to catch, I've caught more this year than I have in the past 5-10 years combined

@@Noquanutflies That is great man, tight lines.

Glad you enjoyed it

Cry about it some more

I've found that fish die faster when you're squeezing the stomach by crushing the organs, than when you hold them by the outside of the gill plate, mishaps do happen, but if there's no bleeding from the gills , the fish will be fine.

@@NoquanutfliesGotta eat the evidence next time ;) Keep up the videos and learn from the mistakes.

And wet your hands before you grab them please

Thanks 👍

Thanks

Thanks 👍, one of my best days I've had for Brown trout so far

Glad you enjoyed it

thank you

thank you

thanks

thank you

I'm still learning on some of them, and of course I have my favorites. A lot of these flies I show I'm getting from either books or magazines, most just have a materials list , but no instructions on how to tie them, what I show is what I figured out how to tie them. Thanks for watching and tight lines!

thanks
