As a non-angler, I appreciate the set up of this video, and the thorough explanations of what is important and why. “The F in Fiberglass is for Fun!” I love it. Great job ✌🏻
Great video! I have a blast fishing fiberglass on big waters. Usually 5wt-6wt 8ft. I have a few creek rods and it’s just as fun on small water. Small waters offer so much more than one would think.
Very informative video!
It's a lot of fun to fish on a small creek with a short fly rod!
Very nice. Simple and very well explained.
Awesome video man, very helpful!
This was an awesome video. I fish a small creek near me in Oregon and it brought up ideas I hadn’t thought of. Thanks.
Great content Larkin! I second the Infinity taper on graphite. I have it on my 7’9” RL Winston LT 4wt and it is such a great line.
I think it is a good idea to go a line size higher. Fly lines are weighted for 30 ft, so it casts ideally when you have 30 ft of line in the air which probably is like 40-45 ft overall casting distance (30 ft of line, plus 9ft of leader plus a bit of line shooting).
That's why competitive distance casters are underlining rods by about 2 classes (7wt rod w 5wt line) because they are keeping 60 ft of line in the air.
Vice versa if you only only cast 25-30 feet on average which means keeping like 20ft of line out, the rod will be underloaded and a heavier line can help
this channel is very underrated
Well done.
Great information. Thanks. Getting a Loomis IMX Pro Creek 7’6” 3 wt for exactly this.
Love it! That's a perfect stick for the small water!
Can confirm, this is a sweet little rod!
Good stuff. it's my main interest in fly fishing. Nothing beats small streams. I use a 1 wt! :-)
Small rods on small water - it's hard to beat! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another solid video. More importantly as a CO small creek junkie thank you for not naming any 😎
What rod do you use? I have a 3wt glass, looking for a 2wt for these tiny creeks. Also in CO.
@@davidblair4388 same - almost always a 3wt. I have a 9' TFO blue ribbon that gets most use and sometimes a 7'
Nice video Larkin, I see what rod you are using 😉 3 weight?
Echo carbon 7'6" 3 wt with an echo ion reel and plain airflo double taper line. Has been a perfect brook trout setup.
That's an excellent brookie setup, absolutely. Hard to beat the Echo Carbon at the price point. Thanks for watching!
my creek set up is a echo river glass in a 6,9 #3wt with a lamson remix and it’s money
What a fun rod for the blue lines, excellent choice. Thanks for watching!
Great video, what rod are you using in 8:11 of the video. Thanks.
Good video. I live in PA and primarily fist for warm water species in the open water season. I've recently started fishing small streams in the winter for native brook trout. I've been fishing with spinning gear with spinners, crappie jigs and small jerk baits. I've been wondering how effective fly fishing would be. I'm thinking 2wt in the 6-7ft range. I build rods and like one piece blanks? They don't seem to exist, I had a 6 1/2 ft glass 2 wt I built 40 years ago but no longer have it.
Fly fishing for brookies in those small east coast streams is a blast. A 7' 2wt. and a pocket full of dry flies (caddis, ants, hoppers, etc.) can make for a wonderful day with tons of visual eats. Really opens up a lot of new water that you might not have been able to cover with the spinning rod. Although there's certainly nothing wrong with feeding them a rooster tail or a little cleo every now and then!
This is where Tenkara works best. I have been a fly fisherman for over 40 years. I have been using Tenkara now for 12 years. Use Tenkara for most small stream applications, also catch more fish with this technique.
Can you link part 2?
Hello,
Fine informations !
Can you please send me a link where to buy your equipment ?
