A fly rod is like a nice older Cadillac land-yacht. Nice ride, but, the parking spots at the grocery store aren't that wide.
When you retire send it to me with instructions on how to use it
Learn to single hand spey cast, don't need a back cast at all
This is my favorite way to fish. I can switch between bubble float with flies and spoon casting any time I want depending on what I’m in the mood to do.
I've used that technique before and it works but I agree that regular fly fishing is more fun, You should try tenkara some time. It is great for small stream fishing and you can use it in lakes too. I have used it in mountain streams and beaver ponds and have caught hundreds of fish with it!
nice, there is a good lake near me but it is fly fishing only so I'll have to give this a shot.
Its weird how defensive the elitests get over styles of catching fish.
Fly fishermen are the golfers of the wild outdoors.
Used a water bobber 2lb line and flies in the 60's. Killed trout was a wonderful technique. You know having used fly rods and today my shoulder is shot. Guess it is back to where I started spin fly fishing. Thank you for the vid.
I was able to catch my first Rainbows ever last winter in Blue Ridge GA. I used this set up because I am most expienced with conventiomal tackle and had limted time to fish. It was lots of fun. I think I would have caught more but it was unusually colder that typical. Snow on the ground and iced over river in many places. For me the Ultra light spinner with the adjust a bubble float was the ticket.
It comes in clutch on so many trips! Sometimes I like a little snow on the ground, it can kick start a good feed
This is a technique I had a lot of success years ago in Colorado lakes. I used the clear bobber and filled it with water about half full. I would slowly reel it in . I recall using about 6 feet of leader.
Can you show this for saltwater please like down on the gulf coast thanks
You are amazing! Thank you for this video and the extra explanations from the video, they really helped for a beginner!
Glad you liked it!
Is pretty green to have snow on the ground 🧐🦗
This is how I learned to “fly fish” haha in my neighborhood ponds. Crushes it :)
Works for so many different settings!
I have been using this technique for several years in NW Montana. It works best on high mountain lakes where the fish are really hungry. also in windy conditions where the surface is ruff. Also the gear needed is cheaper than a fly rod. You already have the spinning rod and reel.
Windy conditions are one of my favorite ways to use this for sure. Y’all have some awesome lakes in that part of the state, I really want to visit that sometime!
Haha, best set up when nothing else is working from the shore 👌 🐟 🐠 🎣
The splash of the float probably attracts the 🐠👍. Very interesting.
@@stevebriggs2645 Sometimes it helps, other times it will spook the fish. Finding the right float is certainly important 👍🏽
If anyone is interested. In a modded flyfishing technique. I’ve made a short shooting taper with old fly line. Used it with a spinning reel on spin rod and spin reel on fly rod . I fish for striper. Casting with the wind cast 75 to 100 ft maybe more.. the taper was about 7 or 8ft short backcast are possible fly control way better than bobber.
I'm thinking that I need to learn the fg-knot. Could I do braid on a spinning reel to about 6' section of a 2 to 7 wt line fly line, with a leader, on a spin rod? Like tenkara you only need a little line to cast with... Then connect the terminal end of everything with a couple of loops, just carry the leader and fly line as a whole or put it on a tenkara spool. The reel itself would be like a tenkara lillian, I think?
Cast with no more than about 2/3s of the entire length of rod of fly line. Use as much leader and tippet as you can cast. Not ideal for fighting fish without a reel to adjust your reach, but, it seems that it isn't as much of an issue once you get your technique.
Non expensive fly fishing mode. 🎉
Please put your cutoffs of the fishing line back into your tackle box and not into nature
Bold of u to assume I didn’t pick those tag ends up and put them into my box
never thought of that, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!! My grandfather gave me his fly fishing gear and probably 50 dollars worth of flies from the 1970’s, including some water bobbers.
Since he is from BC he obviously has lots of gear for salt water fishing like salmon but I live in Saskatchewan so my only option is trout ponds so I’m thinking his fly rod will be a bit overkill.
I do have a question though, can you still use super light clips so you don’t need to keep cutting and tying line? Or will flies sink with even the lightest of clips?
Flies will sink with any extra weight, u have to use absolutely no gear with this rig 👍🏽
@@humbugvideos not gonna lie but that’s super annoying. Maybe because the only other fish we have where I live are pike and walleye, both have nasty sharp teeth so 6-12 inch steel leaders with clips and barrel swivels are standard if you don’t want them chomping your line every other cast so I guess maybe I’m spoiled on the ease of changing lures every 15 minuets if something is not working. 😅 😅 😅
Good thing I have separate ultra light telescopic rods set aside just for the few rare times I’m near the city trout pond.
@@diaryofagoat-lass1023 Luckily, pike and walleye are really known for eating small flies. They will, but not very often
Ok so I have a pond near me it’s pretty big I was going to use some dry flies and some nymphs or wooly buggers on my spinning rod is this a good setup of flies and how’s this 10lb mono little tippet ring to some 6lb mono with a little fly will this work to catch trout in ponds or even rivers with native trout oh btw how would I use nymphs word I just let the water of the pond just control the fly and let it sit there
I would do some research on “Stillwater” flies, those perform very well in lakes, ponds, and resoviers. Put a few still water flies underneath a small float and start tweaking your setup until you find out what works. Hope this helps!
Great video
Do you prefer to rig it with the wider part of the float toward the fly or toward you? I've seen it done both ways
The way I rigged it here is how I prefer, but I believe some people do it the other way. I don’t think it matters too much
Awesome
ryan trahan fishing i love it!
I’ve gotten this so many times🤣
What size is that reel?
1000 size
Does the splash from the float not spook the fish?
Sometimes it will, which is why it’s better to not pick a super heavy float that will make a big splash. Like I said in the video too, using a fly rod for sure has its perks!
@@humbugvideos awesome, and what kind of retrieve usually works? Do you let it sit there or slowly reel it in?
@@louismcg7601 Depends on the day! Sometimes they like it just naturally drifting, other times a little movement will entice a strike. All about figuring it out on the water👍🏽
Cool, thank you!@@humbugvideos
A water bobber
It goes by many names indeed!
Okay sorry I should have read it better
Just use a better cast on a fly rod. Theres no sensitivity with the spinning rod, and the bobber on the water isn't great, as it makes a lot of sound when hitting the water
You just seen him get bites after a cast and you’re worried about the bobber
I love fly fishing, but do fish small lakes on occasion with fly and bubble and it’s fun. No sensitivity? It’s all sensitivity; that’s the only way to detect strikes!! Yes the bubble makes a big splash. Doesn’t really matter, you still catch plenty of trout.
What action and power is the rod?
7’6” Ultralight! My favorite for float and flies
