I first learned to fly fish when I was 12 and got I obsessed and it was all i did for many many years. Then Took a ten year break for whatever reason. I’m now 39 and getting back into it and these videos have been a GREAT refresher. Thank you!
I feel like this video was made specifically for me. Thanks!
Pumped to hear it! Hope you find some fish the next time you’re out. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Videos like these have really helped me as a Novice Fly Fisherman. Today I caught my first couple trout on a fly rod using a double nymph indicator rig.
Really liked this vid. Would love to see more footage of the indicator in various examples of behavior (ie ticking bottom, and what that looks like... vs strikes from fishing taking the fly). Thank you for the time and effort involved with providing these. Very informative & educational!
Agreed! Was thinking we might just need to make a video about that specifically. Thanks for the suggestion. 😎🤙🏽
I really like the way you record and edit your episodes. The commentary between you two is great. Keep up the great work.
Haha glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate the kind feedback. Plenty more coming your way!
Love the multiple camera angles!
😎🤙🏽
some solid advice thank you. about to put this theory to practice tomorrow in Ireland on the dodder river. tied up a few nymphs and some other flies and lets see. ill reply to this if i get fish lol
Gettir done!! Let us know how it goes out there.
What a beautiful stretch of river.
Yup! One of our faves. 😎👍🏽
I’m a lot like Spencer. I dry fly for about 2 hours and if that doesn’t work I throw on a nymph rig on my way back to the truck for 20 minutes😂
Haha. As Spencer would say, “Dry or die!”
do you always use a float when nymphing? or is it 70% float, 30% no float? do you recommend nymphing upstream or down? I kinda like down steam fishing them but haven't fished a lot. thx
Great video Alex. Sorry to hear about the Burrito. Better luck next time.
Haha. You win some, you lose some. 😎🤙🏽
Nice! Great vid
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤙🏽
I wanna fish a single nymph , do I just use fluorocarbon as leader or do I add tippet as well ?
You can use either nylon or fluorocarbon. Fluoro will sink faster, but if you use a bead head nymph the nylon will work just fine.
@@venturesflycothank you
@@venturesflyco would a tapered leader be a option as well?
For me adding split shot is like hunting for food with a 35 lb stick bow. Just use spinning gear, or a compound that zips through at 350 fps. Wouldn't a zebco 202 zip that heavy float all the way to that bridge?
What are you looking for with the indicator to see if you have the right height?
Great question. Should have explained that in the video better. Here are some general guidelines: 1. If you’re catching fish… no need to change. 2. If you’re snagging on the bottom every cast… shallow it up a bit. 3. If you never snag or tick the bottom… go a little deeper. It’s an art and skill to get the right depth. It will come with time and lots of reps out on the river. Hope this helps. 😎🤙🏽
Where is this Stream?
How do I know the depth when it’s a lake or river. Not like I have a 100ft pole.
That's a good question! On a lake, you're usually fly fishing in shallower areas anyways, but on a river, it's a good bet to start out with putting nymphs 6-7 feet below an indicator, and adjusting from there. You have to guess a bit, but once you find the bottom, you're in business!
Content is strong on this channel! Only problem is watching this while staring out at snow!! It's melting...but still...haha Oh, what rod are you using in this episode?!
Haha glad you enjoyed it! That is our Fly Flinger rod. 😎🤙🏽
11:40 The first cast is the most important cause if you throw a bunch of casts you are more likely to spook the fish. But wait, after the first cast dont all the fish in the area float downstream so when you cast again you will meet fish coming from upstream who are unaware of you so you can cast again like it was your first. help me understand.
Potentially. Usually when you spook one fish, it will spook all the others within the same general area. But, if you let them rest for like 15 to 20 minutes and then sneak back over they might be back in their original spots, new fish might have come in, or they just forgot about getting spooked. So yes, first cast is most important if you want to make it easy on yourself. haha
Very good teaching video. My only criticism is you didnt focus on the most important aspect of nymphing. Achieving a natural drag-free drift. You can have the perfect fly, at the perfect depth, but without a good drift through a likely trout lie....youre not going to be successful.
They covered that in the previous video in the series.
For sure. We probably could have made a better point of that in the video. We did cover that a ton in our mending video which was part of the video series before this. 😎🤙🏽
Trees are easier to catch, you know where to cast.
