DIY Vintage Fly
Добавлен 11 сен 2020
This channel is my documentation of the many species I chase...all on fly! Small stream brookies to offshore brutes...I pursue it all normally using modern fiberglass rods with a variety of vintage reels. My fishing throughout the year is a mixture of freshwater and saltwater using rods from 2 wt to 14 wt. Occasionally i will use antique/vintage silk or nylon fly lines and antique/vintage flies from yesteryear to connect with fly fishing's past. I try (though poorly) to highlight some interesting fly fishing gear history from time to time as well.

Float Tube Fly Fishing for Bass at Falls Lake N.C. at Sunset (Redington Path 8wt)
Awesome to see you Killing it here. I DM'd you last year. Got a trip planned in October with my sons. Will be camping and doing some surf fishing for a couple of days below the Point in OBX. I went there last spring and just love all the features of that area with so many good deep close troughs and sandbars and rips that I wanted to try it in October. Hoping to land some with my fly rod. Hoping I get lucky and hook up with an Albie, but of course, that's wishful thinking. I've only really tried fly fishing in OBX once and that was in May of last year. Though there were bait fish around, there weren't any big fish around so I didn't catch anything. I'll probably hit you up with a DM before I head out and see if you can give me some pointers on what flies to use and how to go about landing some fish with a flyrod from the surf. I see you don't cast hard so I'm guessing you're not casting too far. Every time I'm out, I'm double hauling and getting my 10wt out there as far as I can. This time I'm a bit more prepared and will be using both a sinking line and an intermediate line so hopefully I'll be able to get some fish to take the flies. Love seeing the action on the flyrod. I hope I'll be as lucky!
October could be good. Ill be back this weekend and hope its good.
Nice video! That dang rod casts a mile! Looks like a really fun spot to fish.
Thanks. I actually sidelined it on that trip due to its frequent losing the tip during casting.
you have enough room on the reel for some backing,, this might be a good idea. as tying the silk line directly to the reel is not a good idea..
Ill have to check the reel but it probably had a minimal amount of backing on it.
@@diyvintagefly i am still using my grandfather's silk line.. i take very good care of it, as he did
@@randellgribben9772 great!..they can obviously last a long time if taken care of.
Ill take my hat off to you for your success in what I consider a river not worth the effort for the amount and size of fish that are in it. (with very rare exceptions) Ive fished that river from the park boundary upstream100s of times in my life and it just is not very fertile in terms of fish. Straight fork in Big Cove above the Cherokee hatchery is far superior when it comes to park streams IMO. If you know how to fish it.
Thanks...it was one of just a few times id fished it and did alright. I like Bradley Fork more but i was guessing i would be fishing already hit water that day so went elsewhere.
Hello, I just found your channel and I have a 3wt but it’s an 8’6” and I wonder if it’s too long to fish the Eno 🤷🏻♂️ I’m retired now and living in southwest Raleigh and have never been to the Eno🎣🍀🍀🍀👍 Thanks for your channel 👍
Thanks. The 3 should be fine...you may encounter occasional times you want a heavier or shorter rod but it will be fine. I highly recommed the Eno...careful wading though, its slick.
Nice video! I used to fish with my Granddad very close to there when I was a kid, he lived close to the river. I need to head out there.
Thanks. It was pretty but water was very low in April...hopefully things have improved.
I always have a small cooler with ice and a couple bottle of Seltzer which i prefer better than water specially on hot humid days.
Im still experiencing dizziness occasionally so getting more tests...not a heat issue i dont think
It's better now due to the rain, and should be better after this week, with more rain coming. If you haven't yet, try fishing the upper and lower ponds at garey, they are loaded with bass and slab bluegill.
I bet so. We were there from NC for the eclipse, and did hit the one pond that wasnt being used for a wedding. And yes we got bass and big bluegill as well.
Hey man just experienced the same exact thing a week ago during the heatwave here. Had my line in the water by 6am, was having so much fun (glassin with the Butterstick) by 2pm I hadn't realized I did not drink any fluids but my caffeinated drink which probably dehydrated me too. Temp went up from 70s to a humid 98 by the time I realized how winded I was and how hot the sun had gotten. I sprawled out on the ground dizzy and took all my gear off, barely got to the car where I had to cool off. Lets both remember to stay cool and hydrated man!! Also awesome video besides the heat!! You sold me a Moonlit lol
Thanks. Yep, heat can definitely sneak up on you especially when not drinking enough...which im prone to do. We all certainly need to stay hydrated this summer.
Hello, do you have contact info or email where to source Gold Cup III parts have smaller sized 8wt?
I had to contact Bass Pro Shops reel repair in Springfield MO...check their website under reel repair and call them. I also will be parting with some of mine soon. PM me if you want to discuss that
Them sure are some pretty white fishing shoes. Glad you didn't time out on us. What fly did that bowfin eat?
Ha...i wore them to drive down and was too lazy to out on the boots i brought....white clouser from chattanooga
Hope you’re good bud!
Thanks, Still having issues...may also be medication related.
@@diyvintagefly That seems to be a trend lately.
What line were you using? I have this in a #4 with SA #4 Frequency Trout. I think it’ll perform better with a shorter taper or their multipurpose which is more like a #4.5, though I still enjoy the slower action. Takes me back to the 80’s only this is a much better glass rod. For the price, this is a great value and feels like my Orvis Superfine. Admittedly, I feel ashamed for having spent $500 on a rod that performs on par with a $40 rod.
Im not sure...its an older line i lost track of after a few line swaps.
Enjoying your videos! You seem to enjoy the moonlit 6wt. Saw you also have the 5wt. How do they compare? In my limited experience, there can be quite a difference between rods only a single line rating apart. Just curious... Thanks for the inspiration the get out and fish more!
They are definitely different. The 6 is a stouter and heavier rod.
That first Cahaba has got to be one of the biggest ones I've seen! Congrats and welcome to the redeye rabbit hole!!!
Thanks. They sure are fun and dont live in ugly places.
Curious, are you fishing a sinking line or floating? I’ve seen some use a clear fly line as well.
Ill have to rewatch to tell you...it wasnt floating though, either intermediate or full sink.
Catfish on fly and sick cone flowers always a good day!
For sure!
Nice clear water!!
Yes it was! Not something im used to fishing for bass and sunfish.
I had that exact rod and it made me hate fiberglass until I got rid of it and tried a custom built glass model. I hated the SLOW action of the rod and it definitely takes a lot of adjusting to set the hook without missing lots of fish.
Yeah its too slow in my opinion too. I only have a couple short models of it now. Prob best to fish it a line wt under spec.
What flies and wt combo are you using?
5 wt and had luck with nlack wooly burger or black stonefly mymph...poppers would work now too
Always nice to see clear rivers in Texas. We’re did you get that automatic reel i been wanting you like forever
Ebay...for panfish and small trout...i love it..its a Vivarelli.
That reel sounds awesome.
It performed very well...cant say the same about the rods.
@@diyvintagefly yeah that's a shame. I wasn't expecting a second rod to break. Do you know what caused them to break?
@@daniel42020 i think it was age...they were secondhand rods that may have been stored in a garage or the material was just old....both showed no signs of prior use....the first surprised me being an Orvis...second was Redbone and didnt surprise me it broke.
Wow 😮 looks fun
I also have the full length video of it posted...and yes its fun and a mahi in the water is a sight to remember...glowing neon blue!
That 1st redbreast was awesome.
There are some stunners in the upper Eno for sure.
Awesome man! Makes me want to get out there!
Was hoping for carp but saw bubbles that i wasnt certain was them.
What color fries
They arent picky..white, chatreuse, orange, silver will all work.
We are n Va haven’t seen them yet but im excited
Check CicadaMania website to see if the maps show them in your area though they are almost over here at this point..hearing very few now.
Good video. Kevin, think about a segment in each video where you describe the vintage gear you are using.
Thanks Jim...yeah I really need to start doing that.
Very Nice!
Was certainly a gorgeous river!
Another awesome video. Living vicariously through you until my trout skills improve!
Thanks...keep at it and be stealthy.
Great video, you are valuable source for local fishing content+info. Is the Watauga along 105 in Foscoe decent these days? New to trout guy here, love exploring the area.
I hadnt fished it this year but a year ago it was fantastic....as good as ive seen.
@@diyvintagefly oh man. Was there this weekend scouting spots but preoccupied with family so no fishing. I’ll have to get back out there soon.
Nice video. Just hit the like button and also subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work and tight lines
Thanks...I really enjoy the redeyes...need to add shoalies next.
Awesome video! I’m 15min from Eno and have never fished it. What’s your go-to flies for Roa bass/sunfish there?
Small poppers work for both and for subsurface, beadhead wooly buggers can be good...Roanokes can be finicky and ive not done well with them lately out there.
@@diyvintagefly thanks for the reply. Won’t complain if I just get into some sunfish.
Time to bust out the cicada files!
Oh i have already, but am not seeing many flying yet and none on the water yet.
Those fish aren’t pure southern app strain. They stocked fertile northern strain in there many many many years ago. I used to know where I read that but can’t seem to find the article anymore.
I had always heard interior gulf drainages had them and Atlantic drainages were stocked...no idea if thats true...either way i still havent seen a Newberry brookie yet.
Nice video thank you. These fish are delicate and special so please treat them well. Barbless hooks, net and wet hands followed by gentle release.
Great comparison! Can you suggest me a 6wt fiberglass fly rod model for carp? Thanks!
I use a Moonlit Lunar S Glass 6wt for carp...even have a video up doing just that from last year.
Thanks for your honest and up front reviews on both reels. I'll definitely keep in mind those Gold Cups. I'll take the System 2 anyday. I have all three generations of SA System 2's. I dig the 1st and 2nd gen the most (especially the 1st) although I have a 5/6 3rd gen that is just fine by me. For the money, these reels are tough to beat.
Thanks...the Gold Cups are well worth the money!
@@diyvintagefly awesome, thanks tons!
I appreciate these videos more than you know. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
This is so alien but so beautiful
I really look forward to these emergences but they are usually far from me...glad to have them local this time.
Also a tip on RUclips shorts, you can have videos up to 1 minute... But you have to tap the circle in the top right corner of the edit page that says "15" until it says "60" It's a terrible design
Thanks for the tip...yeah im definitely inexperienced with Shorts.
Just subbed this channel is awesome I was looking for somebody with day by day brood xix updates and dang it You're my guy 🫡
Thanks...this spot is 10 min from my house...yet we have none unfortunately.
Incredible! Wow! Great for getting these guys on camera
Thanks.
Any advice on where to go access?
Its only accessible by the ferry.
Very Nice. Got a spot scoped out for Cahaba bass east of there. got the Coosa, Bartrams, suwannee , shoal and made a trip for the Chattahoochee bass but didnt get one. now the new owners have posted it so got to re think where to go on the hooch bass. Very nice fish you caught.
Thanks. I was gonna reach out to you about your Bartrams spot...its prob a good spit for cicadas too this month.
Excellent 👌 Thanks for the vid! You ll need to invest in a bigger net! 😅 What line / leader / fly were you using on this Lunar 6wt? I ve got a trout 4wt 7’6 fiberglass fly rod and I m considering building another rod on a Moonlit Lunar 6wt blank for bigger fish… Cheers 👍
It was a WF6F of an unknown brand and i was using 1x tippet i think and a black bead head wooly bugger.
Nice video👍👍 Could you give more info about the equipment used with this Moonlit Lunar 6wt: line (brand, type, weight) , leader and fly? Take care
Thanks. It was a WF6F Monic clear fly line on 2 x tippet with a tiny white and pink clouser.
very nice carp, I'm jealous!
Thanks!
Super cool meeting you out there! Keep up the vids!
Thanks. It was nice meeting you too. I have a bunch of AL and TX material that will be put out in coming weeks and cicadas are looming too...
I replaced the two small stripping guides on my MaxCatch 7' 3wt. It throws line much smoother now.
Nice. I need to do that on a couple rods myself.
Some nice bluegills! Cool looking rod too. What model?
