  • Join Joe Rotter from Red's Fly Shop on an unforgettable winter adventure in the Yakima Canyon. Armed with just one fly-the versatile Joe's Mini Craw-and floating in his trusty Watermaster Kodiak named "Old Blue", Joe proves you don’t need a full fly box to catch a pile of dandy trout. Watch as he braves the challenge, lands numerous big trout, and showcases the thrill of minimalist winter fly fishing.

    Alright! I was just talking the other day... been trying to get excited about nymphing again - not much luck. Mainly trying to get my spey cast dialed back in (your trout spey video last year is a go to) before I can get free to go over the pass for coastal steel when the holidays are done. But also just tired of the nymph grind. The crayfish though... I see 'em all the time - love it.

    Fun video! Bought the T&T 3 wt 10ft from you guys a few years ago. It has caught me a ton of fish! Used it fishing a small stream the other day in38 degree water and I was still able
    To feel the light eats! Those were some nice bows on the cray Joe!

    I demo's the Sage R8. For $1050.00 so not worth it to me. For that kind of money you better get a Cadillac. This one performed like an Explorer. I'm so glad I demoed it first.

    Do you like to use the loop over a clinch there for a reason? Does it present better, or lead to fewer snags maybe? Thanks for the vid... some great fish in there. Beautiful day in the canyon!

    • @redsflyshop
      @redsflyshop  Месяц назад

      Great question, this is exactly why I like comments. I'll use that mono line and loop-to-loop it into a little Skagit head sometimes so I run the loop. If it was strictly for tight-lining I would graduate it down with a blood knot or double uni.

      #8 sir, it was the right weight. The patterns themselves are pretty similar from size to size, but the weight changes quite a bit.
