I was using the Hellbender this time, but I usually use a 5-7 meter rod on lakes, so the 7 meter line is easier to use. I also have a 4m floating line, but wanted extra reach.
cool video! was up in eastern sierra in ca doing some high alpine lake fishing with tenkara as well but didn't have much luck, especially in the middle of the day. can you elaborate a bit more on your setup with an indicator? what did you use as an indicator? how long of a tippet? also, what kind of level line are you using for that long of a line? braided? tapered? fluro?
Thanks Jeff. I’ve done a lot of lake fishing with conventional rods and just adapt it for my fixed line fishing. There are many types of indicators, the one I was using that day is called corQ, But I also use Thingamabobber and others. I try to use as small of an indicator as I can get away with just so it’s more sensitive, but that is affected by wave action and fly weight. I was using a PVC floating line in that video. I generally use level tippet with the length depending on the water depth that I want to fish. Theoretically it’s best to have the flies near the bottom but I just pay attention to where the fish are cruising and adjust accordingly. Typically I start out around 8 feet. If I’m using two flies, I will separate them by 18 to 24 inches, tying the bottom fly to the hook bend of the other fly typically. One of my favorite flies is a balanced leech however, and I will use that one solo primarily. You don’t have to fish very far from shoreline if the fish are feeding actively. And look for spots where there are drop offs next to shawls as well as inlets and outlets are very productive

Wow !
Thanks for watching Jeffrey.
Nice fish in that lake. Good job hand-lining, however when you need that much line out, Western fly rods is the way to go.
I often use western rods as well…particularly on lakes. I just don’t make videos of that. 😂
@@tenkaraonthetrail Fully understand. I would say one of your Sawanas would of been an excellent choices for a fixed line rod.
Those are usually my first choice! I was already carrying 10 (mostly small) rods on that trip, so I figured I would limit myself. 😂
Looks like a beautiful day fishing. You proved the Hellbender can handle some bigger fish. 😉👍
It didn’t break a sweat. It’s caught bigger…and in current. 👍
Are you using barbed or barbless hooks? Enjoy your videos!
On that hellbender lake video they were barbed.
Wouldn't a net make landing them easier?
Sometimes I use the net and sometimes I choose not to. On those types of trips are usually don’t bring one to cut down on weight.
