Okay..so I am going to ask a dumb question..........but why don't fly reels have gears to give the reel...say a 5:1 retrieve ratio so that when you hook a fish you can just reel him in instead of having yards of fly line tangling up all around a person........surely they could make one that has easy line strip on the outgo so you can build up your cast, but locks in some drag once you hook the fish. Or is it just that fly fisherman's reels have been pretty much the same for decades and decades.
Not super knowledgeable but here's my two cents: You definitely can just reel line in instead of stripping line in to get the fish to the boat. Most larger reels that use heavier weight line (8/9/10) for big fish are large abor so they essentially do exactly what you said and the line will come in quicker. With lighter weight rods like these though you don't want to put a ton of weight on the rod tip so it's safer to strip line in instead of just using the reel. Then you don't have to pull 10+ feet of line back off the reel for your next cast either
Joe Berry it’s an opinion based on fact and conservation, because I want to conserve native trout populations so I can continue to fish and enjoy the wild trout for many years. If the fish are stocked or if there a warm water species than they usually don’t need very much protection and will thrive in most areas, trout on the other hand need protection if we want to continue to enjoy them.
Nice video but please try to get the fish back in the water within 10 seconds. Research shows more than 10 seconds can drastically affect spawning success even if the fish swims off.
One of the best days of fly fishing we've ever had! So dang fun when the fish are looking up and the big bugs are out.
Hushin nothing better than dry flies in the rain! Only thing you guys make my butthole clinch every time you grab onto the blank to land a fish
Who is on the couch wishing they were with them now?🙋♂️
LOL
So dope! I am so pumped to fish the hatch this year! Hopefully, it'll be this successful and I can upload some sweet content. Nice work!
Awesome salmon fly action! You hit it just right. Love the Kast Gear sun shirt cameo as well. Got mine on EBay, and LOVE IT.
Great video - and great work on the sticks by the guide

DANG!!! Absolutely epic!! Top 3 best days? What were the other 2?
Awesome
Were you using anything to keep those dry flies floating? Yeah, I for one would love to be there with a fly rod in hand.
Did Colton’s parents drop him off? Dude looks 15. Living the damn dream!
He's rowing a boat not fishing. Not my dream lol
@@dankochanek8056 i was almost 15 haha. but for real i love rowing the boat for a living
Hey guys I was gonna buy some stealth cameras but it said the promo code had a problem
What’s your guys rod and reel setup?
🤘🤘🤘🇺🇸
First and sick vid
I was just on this river trying to wade fish. pretty damn impossible.
Yea...she's running a little high right now for that
Hey guys, how can I contact you directly, cheers !!
Like😍😍👍👍
You guys going to eat any?
Nathan Johnson no it’s always catch and release on rivers, on lakes it depends
@@NoRodnoReel so you think every river on planet Earth is catch and release only?
Joe Berry all rivers with wild trophy trout should be catch and release only, anything else can be catch and kill.
@@NoRodnoReel Well, that's just like your opinion man.

Casey, learn how to strip in line like a normal person, I had to turn it off midway. It was painful to watch.

Handle those fish better.
