Brilliant effort for your first time , and I believe you bought a random pack if memory serves , heres a few pointers .
1- circle hooks , don't strike as you'll pull the fly out the fishes mouth , keep your rod pointed at the fly when you get a hit just clamp the flyline down against the handle fish will hook in the scissors everytime.
2 - the hooks are different as the heavier hook is designed to get down quicker in deeper water where as the manta type are lightweight and slow sinking which are the best for drains .
3 - always have the rod pointed inline with your fly on the water
4- the lighter the hook the higher the fly will ride when you strip ( heavier hooks will stay deeper down )
5- I always strip with the tune of the Viennese waltz in my head probably the best as you can speed up and slow down as you like .
6 - if you fish deeper water then think about using an intermediate line
7- what works one day may not work the next but find the baitfish and youll find the fish and keep mobile
8 - check out #euanglers page on RUclips he's been using my flies for years you may pick up some tips
Great video and please keep at it with the circles .
Cheers
Mcfluffchucker
Yep, I had problems with hooking until Dave sorted me out circle hooked flies.
Ben
McFluffchucker flies are the best you can get!!
Flying fishing I always imagine the older gentlemen there with pipe wade through the river!! And now you come!! Good job!😁😁
Dan, please wear some form of eye protection when fly fishing, all it takes is a gusty wind coming over your right side you could end up with the line round your head , or the worst scenario a hook in the head.
Good video as always.
Love fly fishing for pike, I avoided fly fishing for years but since I’ve found it it’s all I tend to do all year round now, so rewarding.
I find being conscious to pull the line first to set the hook before a split second later setting the rod as usual helps me with hook ups!
Absolutly important. You can break your rod if you dont do it like that
Great choice of outfit from Vision, I started out on that, and I’ve never looked back. I’ve only ever caught one pike lure fishing, but since changing to the fly it’s been so much more productive. You can fish the fly much more slowly than a lure, so if the pike are hammered by lures all day you have a better chance.
Nothing wrong with your fly chucking practice makes perfect. I tie my own flies everything from nymphs,buzzers to zonkers Sand eels and shrimps for sea fishing and pike lures there’s nothing like matching the hatch great content as always. Try something smaller like a zonker you might even arouse the the perch 👍👍
yep, match the hatch. I have even been known to bring some materials with me to tie flies in the boat 😁
Really enjoyable watch and I love the way you’re showing us the learning curve!! 🎣🎣🎣
Love that you're out on the fly Dan.. Such a fun way to catch them and requires some real technique, too. More of this please!
Hi Danny it's great to be back after along illness,i absolutely love fishing the fly for pike and carp it's excellent heart stopping stuff i can't tell you how much i love his it's deadly in the sprinb and summer been cathing pike and carp on the fly rod for 30 years you did really well mate,
@@pikeandperch stick with it Danny it's awesome fly-fishing it's like a magnet mate,
Great clip Dan - I've looked at it a few times after seeing the EUAngler do so well and did try it once from a boat (with very limited success). I'm confident it will all come together 👍👏
Finally! About time you had a go fella. I find it’s the most productive method by far on my local canal. Good work👍🤘
Brilliant it's great fun fly fishing for pike. Only had small ones on the fly some fight they put up. Your casting will be amazing by the end of the year I'm sure.
Brilliant video and chuffed to bits for ya !!!!! Well done sir 🎣🎣👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😀😀😀
@@pikeandperch you will be a pro before you know it … then pike flies look awesome and now you will need yet another lure bag to keep it separate from ya spinning / bait casting gear…… and another rod… and reel !!!! It never ends !!!! Happy days 🤣🤣😀😀🎣🎣👍🏽👍🏽
Stoked your trying the fly, I was brought up with fly fishing for trout then went to pike fishing cuz of your videos and have always wanted to try putting them together, seeing you try makes me want to get out and try even more so thanks again for inspiring me to try something new 🤙🏽 keep up the good content, your smashing it atm 👌🏽
I am exactly the same, catching trout on the fly is easier than catching pike on a lure tho, they are hard to find
Well done for giving this a go👍🏻. Something I've always wanted to try but just not had the balls to do it. Seeing this certainly makes me want to give it a try. Thanks for the videos and keep smashing them pike:)
Spot on ! I was taught to fly fish as a kid by my grandad I'm now 36 as is the best way to fish I believe and the fight is better to land 1👍 great video nice to see u mix it up
Great to see you using the fly rod. It's my favourite way to catch them. Just a wee bit of advice, because fly rods are so much softer than conventional fishing rods, simply lifting the rod will often not provide enough force to hook the pike and they will quickly throw the hook. The best method of hook setting pike on the fly is called "strip striking". This involves giving the line a sharp tug and then lifting the rod. Good effort and keep it up. Hope this helps.
Also if you get a stripping basket, this will stop the line catching on the ground
Sick video 👍 can't wait for more fly fishing videos in the future 😅
Pike on the fly is great fun 😉. A casting tip would be too watch your line on the back cast aswell so you can time the front cast correctly, all about timing and technique, wait for the line to uncurl properly on the back cast and this will allow the rod to load up properly giving you more distance 👍 good job tho Dan well done mate 👏👏
Excellent video, pike on the fly is great fun, I use a Snowbee line tray helps casting and keeps your line clear of the ground, tight lines
you're doing fine with your fluff chucking! lovely pike there, I've been fly fishing for trout, sea bass, salmon, chub etc for many years but only tried for pike in the last few seasons, had a 17 pounder very early on and thought it would be a doddle 🤣🤣 not so! I love playing fish from a fly reel though, you can feel the fight through your hands rather than through a bunch of gears (fixed spool or multiplier) wait till you get into fly tying, there's another dimension to the thrill! I think I might have seen you making your own lures on you tube?? just subbed.
I'm trying to get a utube pike on fly for my channel from a river but been hampered by the weather recently. good luck, well done.
Gud lad 👍 You have opened the door to a whole new world. Spend a few quid with an instructor, it will be worth it. Fly fishing is a very direct way to fish. On the retrieve point the rod mostly towards the fly keeping little to no angle. Watch for the line tells on the water or you will feel the bites through the line. Keep the fun going. Well done mate🤘
Great video Dan. Just had my fly set up delivered so hopefully get out before the rivers close and get some fish. Your casting is better than mine, thankfully I’m only fishing small drains also 👍😂
Good to see you fly fishing for pikes hope you have been hooked 👌🎣 and I can see you use Dave flies they are simply the best flies on the market 💪🎣 great video mate 🤘🎣
I was just about to tag you @EUAngler 🤣 Surely there a collaboration here somewhere 😉
Dude, not too shabby at all! Seriously, for your first couple times out your cast doesn't look too bad from what can be seen from that camera angle. A key thing with pike fishing is getting a fly line with a lot of mass towards the end and near the fly (like Rio Outbound Short). That will allow you cast with shorter back casts, load the rod better, and get that fly out there even in windy conditions (wind makes fly fishing much harder). You reeled in the excess line when the fish was on which was perfect, that way your reel can let the drag out if necessary, vs sliding it out with your hand. If there's no logs or snags or bicycles in the water, let the fish take drag, man! That's the fun part. Good stuff, keep going. 🙂
Hi Dan
I see you taking tips on fly fishing at lure topia on Sunday. I wondered why 🤔 Question answered 😃
Nice video 👍
Tight lines 🎣
Love the videos thanks for all the great videos
Hi mate. I fly fish and have just started lure fishing for perch and pike due the the lockdowns. Very tempted to try the fly for pike but don’t want to invest in a fly set up yet as I’ve just bought all the lure gear ! Two rods, two reels plus everything else you need to go with it ! I’m also not sure there are that many pike where I fish ! Happy to have a day out with you soon, possibly teach each other a few things ! Not exactly sure where you live. If we are local’ish maybe we could have a day out ? In I’m Cheshire 😁
Hat off to ya there not as easy as it looks is fly fishing I've tied fly's since I was 11 and never thought of pike I'll definitely give that a try ace vids and have a great day out fishing next time u go 🎣
That looks like a proper fun.
Well done Dan something different for us again mate have you seen the little coloured balls they fly fish with I think they're for perch I saw a guy in wales on my local canal using one didn't see him catch anything but I was bottom fishing for pike let's have some more of these buddy 🎣👏👏👊👌
Mc fluff chucker flys are brilliant I use the every time flying for pike is thrilling especially when you hook up with a 8-10 pounder watching it tail walk across the water and the strength of the fish my last on was on a 8# ,amazing fight
Nice work Dan.
You will really enjoy fly fishing out on your boat mate when it warms up abit , I do it on the float tude and its good cracker 👍👍🎣🎣
Mcfluffchucker are great flys! Dave is sound bloke to! Definitely worth a look.
Good to see you into fly fishing! Look for "stripping basket" so your line doesnt tangle around at the bank.
In the states we call those lures you were using streamers. Great for pike and trout. Just keep practicing and you'll be a pro with the fly rod in no time. Tight lines.
Great video 🎣
Awesome🤩
Wouldn't it be easier on the boat? You did well anyway for your first time out with a fly rod! I'm going to go back to fly fishing in the summer for trout hopefully my health holds up, I had great plans for this year but my body had other ideas!
Practice makes perfect mate 👌👍
Forward cast rod goes to 10 o'clock, back cast rod goes to 2 o'clock. Pull line down on back cast to load rod. And as suggested get a line tray and strip strike. You'll be a master in no time. Good luck buddy.
🤣🤣 watching you play that pike was funny it looks so awkward
Hooked for life now bro 😂 tight lines
Daar Dan intense video about fly fishing for pike i can certainly advise you. Look on RUclips for the videos of the dutchman John Uilenberg pike flyfishing and see how he fishes and catches gigantic pike with his green streaker.
Good luck 👍💪
Nice fish well done..
I knew you'd be drawn to the light eventually! Let's make a plan!
Obviously Andy shows up when Db is fly fishing for pike 😂😂
@@ninjairishfishing6611 I might be able to catch as many fish as Dan this time!
@@pikeandperch deal! Before the end of the season?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Strip strike and hard as well mate
Well done on your first pike on a fly rod. Best tip I can give on casting is a couple of hours with a casting instructor, it''l save many hours of frustration.
well done!
Well done landing your first pike on the fly, I can promise you'll be totally addicted in no time.
so want to learn fly fishing success is always a friend
Thinking of going onto the flies myself purely for the reason that it must be safer for the fish with having one hook rather then 2 trebles on a jerkbait
Not always the case as one hook can rip the pikes mouth as Danny has shown in his videos before
Very very nice one Dan. Tenkara is next I suppose 😅
I only caught two pike in my life - both on a nymph with a tenkara rod (small ones of course).
@@pikeandperch Yeah, always something new to keep things exciting.
Just had a look at the Vision pike set btw 😅 I'll send the bill your way LOL
I've never fly fished for pike but 20 years for trout and when ye get a hit just get that rod pointed at the sky straight up. I've been putting of a pike fly rod for couple of years now. One day maybe. Great vid.
No, do not do this, you do not trout set a pike that’s what looses fish
Great vid man , I'm going to be starting fly for pike .. what leader are you using and how have you attached it to the main line as some use the braided loop and some tie together with the nail knot ?
cheers mate
keep it up
Here we go sunshine! Oh I’m excited
@@pikeandperch I can tell 🤐
@@pikeandperch nah you’ll love it mste, there’s nothing that sets the adrenaline off more
Nice video bro
Great video ! try and get line basket ten times easier when casting as the flyline doesn't get tangled and shoots better.
100% google "stripping basket"
Got to learn to strip set man!!
Mantap, besar sekali ikannya
Top tip
LINE TRAY :)
Nice 👍
When you got a fish on, reel line in and trap it between fingers and control line out that way!! Or hold it in free hand n let it slip with pulls n big runs!???👍
@@pikeandperch any time mate!! Hard work fly casting,, I fly fished for 3yrs then stopped!! Still can't cast properly!! All about Mh/heavy pike gear now!! I fish on my own and I'm trying to get snagged bro up here to fish with me and make some funny vids to post.. I'd like to fish with u as you're pretty good mate!! Catch enough n always explain your theories on conditions,water craft and bait selections. Like it,,keep it up and tight lines as always mate!😁👍
Un bonjour de france ou moi aussi moucheur j ai commencer la pêche au streamer du brochet trop jolie votre video
Also reckon you probably what to cast double hauling with flies that heavy
Just took up fly fishing for pike myslf. Have u tried a line tray? . It help keep the line from getting caught up in grass ect
Never been into fly fishing atall but I have used weighted large flys to catch pike on a spinning rod
Get out in a float tube or the dan it’s far easier than bank fishing if you’re just starting out
Treading your line through all the dog shit won’t help with distance 😎
Alternatively get ya chesties on and get wading
Floating line with a sink tip works well for that stuff
Creeps up on you fly fishing dan take care it’s a dark art and it will end up consuming your thoughts at inappropriate times 😉
When striking don't strike with the rod just strip the line very hard and you should connect with the pike better
Wow
Widen your loop by slowing down the cast and learn to double haul oh and try using a stripping basket. Great video more of this please
Mam I'm at it now myself on my local canal had sum mad takes mostly Jack's but better to start small I think
Buy a line tray so that the line doesn't get caught on the bankside vegetation.
Offer is still there pal to show you when i know about casting.
Yeah. I have a perfect spot for practis and where it is alot of pike in the summer. Might have to dig my old rod out too 😂 ohh and picture i sent you the other day, is from that river shhhh 😁
Be happy with the casting you do. Not easy in that wind. Them big flies catch all wind while smaller will be easier. Well done for starter pal
You said you were using a 9 weight rod, what line type and shape and size did you choose and why or was this recommended for you. By the way keep up the videos and try to give more info on tackle lines and why you think so, really enjoyed this video you were really enjoying this type of fishing
Get yourself a line tray you won’t get so many tangles at your feet and in the vegetation and get a lesson in double hauling and you’ll get much better distance on your cast enjoy the fluff chucking unfortunately due to a back and shoulder injury I can’t fly fish anymore ☹️
Get a stripping tray. Rule number 1. If you use a wire trace I find helps set the hook better than just using Fluro.
Oh and buy Dyckersfly’s kers20 and the roach and you’ll thank me later
U'll be on fly vrs jerk nxt season
Did you get your flies from dave Lindsay he is good
Quality flies from mcfluffchucker mate...I get jig flies from him
one of the anglers on the canal recons he had 7 on fly the other week
Strip Strike until you are really in fight with the Fish then lift the rod. Its not stiff enough to set the hook. Nice Video :P
@@pikeandperch Yeah I'm also not a pro. But I love your content. Here in Germany many of my fishing friends watch your videos and talk about it. So please keep on. ;) The best Video on how to learn to set the took is from Gunnar Brammer "Fly fishing: How not to strip set". Check it out 😜
Casting keep your arm set at 10 and 2 clock face
👏👏💪🎣🐳👍😉
To each their own, but I'd hardly call £280 pretty cheap and pretty basic..😁
What net is that
Get a casting lesson, it's super easy with a good coach
i'll tell you what, i reckon topwater fishing on the fly for pike with a little cork popper, you'd enjoy that
not so sure about pike streamers, they don't seem to displace much water and you cant put rattles in them or anything, and the hookup rate is fustratingly bad
You can tie streamers with rattle
I'm no expert, but I believe you don't strike with the rod but pull hard on the line to set the hook when piking.
With circle hooks I'm sure you just lock everything up and wait for the pike to try and eject the fly, that's when it gets hooked.
@@pikeandperch I'm new to this style too, steep learning curve, but great fun, and learning to make my own simple flies has given me another way of passing the time.
Get a stripping basket, saves you loads of headaches
U need to wait for the fish to turn then strike
Try avoiding striking with the rod so much let the line set the hook buddy.
Hi
Change fly's lost that fish twice
Theres a guy on you tube who fly fishes canals caught some awesome fish check him out euangler he channel is
My first fly fishing trip for trout resulted in me hooking my eyebrow !
don't trout set, keep your rod tip pointing down at the fly, and strip set.
But why?
