In addition, this film discusses the main tactics an angler can use to fly fish for trout in a lake successfully.

You will be able to work out where the trout are most likely to be, choose the right gear to fish a lake efficiently, what casts you need to learn, how to approach fishing the lake to give you the best chance of success, recognize when a fish has taken your fly, how to set the hook correctly, how to play a fish, and how to identify the fish you have caught.

    I always preferred river fishing because i have ADHD and it kept me busy and helped clear my brain and lake fishing was kind of boring and could only be done with friends around I’m glad to see that fly fishing will work on a lake too. I’ve called myself a fisherman and have tried to be one since I was 14 I’d never catch anything but i convinced myself that it didn’t matter because it was the therapy I was there for but now I’m 47 and I’m still after that therapy but I’d rather catch something too lol

    Awesome video! I've been fly fishing for about 20 years but mainly fish rivers and have been wanting to do more lake fishing and definitely learned some new things. Thanks for the video and you got a new subscriber.

    i'm a lazy lake fisherman. I use bait and sit on my butt. The last trip the boils and leaps got me to thinking about fly fishing again. I did it as a teen, but without any direction it was pretty much a failure. Love your videos.

    From all the fly fishing videos I watched last years, this really stands out! I really enjoyed it and I will recommend it to my fly fishing buddies at the oldest fly fishing club in Flanders (Belgium). The host does an excellent job (what a natural born teacher he is! - compliment from a teacher trainer ;-)) and throughout the video there's a very good balance between instruction and demonstration. The content is well thought through and strucured in well-defined chapters: very practical to browse. I can't wait to see all the videos... And then, off to the water!

    I enjoyed the video and learned much. I purchased a new 5# combo and took it out a couple days ago for a couple of hours, the first hour was just getting use to casting and avoiding snafos, with a little bee fly, the second hour caught a few bluegill. I enjoyed it very much. I'm glad to watch this, as I had sunglasses on, but forgot the hat. I didn't hook myself or anything, but I will wear a hat from now on. In fact I have one very similar to the teacher was donning. I need to get some of that stuff you put on dry flies, the little bobber, some streamers, probably another 6 to 7 # rod, some floating line as the line it came with was the slow sinking. I look forward to spending weeks fishing and perfecting my skills with fly rod. I've fished for decades so I've got other styles down. I can barely wait till I can make perfect casts. Thanks for a very informative instructional video, with the perfect ending.

    Excellent video. As a new fly fisherman, I enjoyed the great explanations for the different categories pertaining to lake fishing. I especially enjoyed your portion on some specifics for how you actually do some of your retrieves. I’m lucky if I can get a decent roll cast but I’m working on my casts. However, It’s frustrating to see loads of videos on what flies to cast but almost nothing on retrieving which might as well render my fish catching almost a lost cause so hopefully now I can apply some new approaches to retrieving and try to actually hook a fish. Mega Thx !!!

    Great vid as always, but I have a question about the leaders, for nymphs use a level leader but what leader do you use for streamers?

    • @FarBank
      @FarBank  Год назад

      Most of the time a streamer is better with a tapered leader - short and medium stiff, especially if the streamer is large or weighted...
