This is why this has become my favorite Fly Fishing Channel. Lots of education and demonstrations on how to fly fish different waters. The diagram was even better to use demonstrating exactly what it should look like during your presentations. Can't wait for Spring.
Tom, thank you for another great tip. I purchased a 6wt with nymphing line on it at the end of 2020 and cannot wait to try this improved drift technique. I want to quit my job and just go fishing with you.
Awesome trick for better swings also a fan of the diagrams as well on a side note anyone have an idea of what hackle was used on the fly pictured for the video my best guess Guinea fowl
I troll soft hackles. Yeah I know it's not true fly fishing but catching 8 to 10lb.rainbows more than makes up for it. Yeah I get lots in the 3 to 7lb. at the local lake and won the big trout derby. Know that I've figured that out filling the reel with lots of backing does come in handy. Even then a small electric motor also helps. Also 8 to 10lb. Tippet flouro or mono insures that the tippet with stands the strike. I was using 2lb.for years but the triple fish aged out. $2 spool was awesome for at least 20 yrs. Soft Hackles Flys vibrate mimicking the sound of aquatic insects and small fish. That's why Salmon Hoochies often called octopus's are in fact I'm imatating herring or anchovies. That's why they were called Hoochey Flys when they first became available to sports fishers in the 60's. Great video's so much to learn but when mastered so easy thanks for your work.
Usually you don't add split shot. the wet flies will go down in the current and the trout will come up to eat them as emergers. if you do need to go deeper, you could use split shot or nymph fish. cheers
Grease line involves no mending, it would be that similar cast but under tension almost immediately. But the method in this video works very well for winter steelhead.

Awesome! Thank you!
This deserves a bigger video to go more indepth on this technique and maybe some others.

Great tip!
You really do learn something everyday! I will surely try this next season.
Great lesson fellas! Are you adding split shot to that line? As a newbie, do you mind walking me through your line setup? Thanks Tom!

What was the rod and line weight
I always heard this method of presenting the fly was the greased line method. It does work for trout and steelhead.

Nice tip, thanks
Lately things they don’t seem the same actin funny but I don’t know why scuse me while I cast this fly . Thanks for the video
Clear as mud...
Swinging a nymph with a sink tip is a great way to get the fly down deep fast
