Hi Kevin,, nice day to be out and fly fish for a while, enjoy the day and land a few nice one too.Awesome video, thumbs up and greetings from NZ,, Tony.
I love yours vids thought I was subbed to it but now I am. I use a tenkara fly rod The Yari and I love it. I use a longer leader just to reach out and let it sink more. But you have helped my fly game immensely 💯💪🏽
@@KevinRapkochFishing I've caught one and only one lol but he was so much fun wasn't a big siE bout 6-7 pound but he fought like he was 15 so much fun tho. Bluegill and bass are fun too especially smaller ones 👌🏾🎣🐟
@@cactuscatch that's awesome man!!... Definitely something I've thought about trying for carp before. Thanks for watching and commenting! Keep up the awesome work with the Tenk! 🙂✌️🎣
@@KevinRapkochFishing I hope to start posting some videos soon. Just gotta go through them edit and the whole nine yards. Thank tho bro! Keep the videos coming though, definitely boost my morale when I skunk a day lol 😆
Hey Kev! Dude I felt so bad that you lost the big fish! I know the feeling! Overall, not a bad day for fishing though! I hope it cools down in Phoenix soon for you guys! 😓. Thanks for taking us through your fly box, It definitely gives fly fisherman insight and myself on what flies work best for certain species! Buddy I laughed for like a minute straight at 😂😂😂😂, sorry mid typing laugh "Gorgeous Industrial plant background". Great video as usual. Kev! Keep them coming! 🎣🍻😎
Haha! Just can't beat the beauty of industrial urban fishing! 😂😂😂 Yeah, total bummer losing that nice bass, but that's just the way it goes sometimes! Thanks for watching, Brody.... Looking forward to the next episode of Ambitious Anglers!! 🤙🤙✌️🎣
Yeah man, it's definitely a tough balance with the family, and the heat shortens the fishing windows immensely!... But that cooler weather should (finally!) be right around the corner!! 🤞🤞 🙂✌️🎣
Thanks for showing what flies you're using. I think they'd work for fly fishing our man made lakes in the Phoenix area as well. I landed a little bass like the size you snagged here in the Youngtown lake with a yellow wooly bugger last night. I was pretty happy.
Oh nice! Yellow has always seemed like an effective color for our local bass, haha! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment... Hope you catch a bunch more bass out there! 🙂✌️🎣
Yep, I think so. I've only ever caught them on my 6wt, and my biggest was approximately 13-15 lbs. I know a lot of folks who fish them with 7 and 8 wts. 🙂✌️🎣

Great video! Entertainment, fly fishing tips, humor, fun catches, and some heartache at the end! That bass looked like a big one... next time!!
Thanks!! Always tough losing a big bass like that!! .... But overall, it was a fun day of fishing. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙂✌️🎣
Hey Kev, awesome catches with the nymph! I like the showcase of your fly box too, sweet stuff. Hopefully cooler days is coming soon 😎👊🎣🔥
Yo Kev!! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment, my friend! We are well over 100 straight days of temps over 100° F ... It's crazy here!!!

Nice man, have you caught any carp on a Tenkara rod?? That seems like it would be a blast!! 🤙✌️🎣

It's a 13 ft rod, it's one of their heavy sets they have and made in Japan as well.

I am jealous man that you have been able to get in some serious fishing time! As the weather cools off I will be taking my son out. Love the videos.

@@KevinRapkochFishing I am gonna take a few days to hit up Silver Creek.

Yo Will! Good to hear from you, brother! Let me know how it goes when you get out there with the fly rod! 🙂✌️🎣

Is a 7 wt. 8'6" adequate for carp?
Yep, I think so. I've only ever caught them on my 6wt, and my biggest was approximately 13-15 lbs. I know a lot of folks who fish them with 7 and 8 wts. 🙂✌️🎣
@KevinRapkochFishing Got my 3 wheeled bike ready. Dropping into the 90's next week. Have a canal around the corner.
@@randybrodman3959 nice man! Yeah, so excited for the 90s!! Let me know how the fishing goes for you 🙂✌️🎣
