  • I also really appreciate this video. I tried fly fishing when I was younger and sorta gave up on it. Probably because I was obviously not doing anything correctly LOL. OF course that was before youtube! I did catch some fish, but only in places where you could tie a sock on a hook and catch them. With the Pandemic I have spent tons of time boning up on the fishing this year. Caught the most trout, bass, and perch of my life. My daughter , who just started fishing this year has become an awesome angler . Caught a small mouth bass off the docks in town (big fish). Next up, fly fishing thanks to your video! Thank you, and I agree with others you teach well!

  • That was great the fish looked fantastic colors and in really good condition the lake and surrounding was beuitiful in itself talking to the fisheries manger there I could tell he really knows his profession his spot on ....I like catch and release but never keep a trout out of the water for longer than 17 seconds if I can to stop any harm or corrosion to the Gill I've got to say your video was excellent finally I feel like I understand where I'm going wrong with my cast ...I couldn't belive the distance you were able to get. ..plus the ideas that you came up with in knowing what the fish should or would accept is an elumination to me as I fish one line one or two favorite fly ... well I've learnt something today thank you for your help and advice and time with this what a great video !!! And I always remember that the trout is only aluve because of the fishery and are preditory but I never want to harm or hurt any living creature so it's great to see catch and release fishery the fish will grow and can live many years in an environment that is plentiful and studies show that fish recover from trauma very quickly in fact within a moment and can take the very next cast you put out ... so I feel very greatful to good fishery such as this one that allow catch and release. ...

I'm just about to embark upon the long journey of learning to fly fish, I've ordered a 9 foot, 6 weight rod and proper reel to start, and am just waiting for them to arrive to begin my education. In the mean time I have watched and re-watched more than a dozen videos teaching the basic cast, and I have learned more from watching this one video than from all the others combined. I'm now more eager than ever to get started.

    • If you tie a heavier leader into your fly line with a nail knot (,cut the loop off) and use heavier line say 15 pounds for say 4 feet minimum and at the end going to the fly leave a loop then use your light fly line 6 pound or so for 14 feet or whatever and connect it using a loop to loop connection, saves a lot of fuss when putting a new leader on. My leader is 18 feet with droppers 4 feet apart.

I have already done course and sea fishing and now I can’t wait to get some fly gear and get out there. So if you’re in north Devon and fancy a go get down there you won’t regret it.👍

  • A second thought on this video is that to load the road in the backcast to the max don't come back past one o'clock. The more vertical the rod is on the backcast the more power you can generate in the forward cast. Also, learn how to haul and double haul if you want distance.
