      Thanks! If you are here in AZ, a 6 wt fly rod and reel is a good place to start (it can handle trout, bass, and small to medium sized carp). For our canals, using floating fly line with straight 10 lb leader (one end attached to fly line and other end directly to fly) works very well for both bass and carp. Here's a video I made awhile back with some other thoughts I have for anyone who is starting fly fishing ... I hope it's helpful! 👉ruclips.net/video/1yBjr8COJrs/видео.html

      Yo Brody! Hope you're having a great week. There are plenty of shad, bluegill and tilapia minnows (and bigger) baitfish for the bass to eat, as well as the occasional crawfish, and they definitely eat big bugs (grasshoppers, dragon flies, cockroaches, etc) if they fall/land in the canals. So, quite a bit for them to eat. Yeah man, looks like another week or so of upwards of 110°, then we should be falling down to the low 100s/High 90s 🤞🤞.

      @KevinRapkochFishing I like to hit up point Loma on san Diego during tuna season. Got into some big boys on a 13 weight and even then it was barely enough.

      Yeah man, I've definitely been encouraged after catching that one... I'll start stripping streamers just above the ground and try to catch more of them now that I know they'll get after a moving fly 🤙🤙✌️🎣

      Yo brother! Thanks for watching and commenting... I always appreciate it!! Yeah, that's a pretty little river I always hit up with one of my brothers when I visit Montana. I wish I could have gotten on some bigger fish, but it's always nice to hit the wild species trifecta in there! 🤙🤙✌️🎣

    A few years ago I followed a camping/fishing page on RUclips. The guy eventually stopped making videos probably about 8 years ago, but one in of his videos he made flies out of paracord and a tiny hook. I followed his instructions and made quite a of them. I even caught a few! There's your next challenge. Make a fly out of paracord!

      @@creekfreakmasterbaits that's awesome! That stuff really does interest me, survival fishing type of stuff (like making a hook out of a pop can tab)... Hopefully someday I can do a video testing out various survival fishing methods. Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend.
