Hey Robert A little tip If you tying and extra knot between the dropper and the Main fly in your tippetring, you Will get less tangle om this setup. Tights lines Claus
@@lethuliv5500 The extra knot has no connection to the other lines. Just tie in another piece of tippet but cut it off so it is just a few millimeters long. It should be between the dropper tippet and the tippet to the end fly. If you DM me on Instagram I can send a picture.
Hi Robert, thanks for the great videoes. One question, why do you not use the Perfection loop knot on the flies? I find it so strong and easy, both with flou when seatrout fishing, and wire for the pikes. Best regards, Michael
Great Video thanks for the setup!:) Which rod should I choose from these 3: Vision Merisuola Vision Stifu seatrout Vision Meri I think you testet all of them, let me hear your opinion.:) Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you so much for the video, was always curious of your leader setup, thank you so much for sharing, very helpful. Question do you use a Sinktip attach at you floating line some times or do you never add a sink tip to your fly line? I bought a few there to add to my floating line but don't really know if necessary, what you suggest?
In the scenarios you see me do sea trout fishing in these videos I don't use any sink tips. I target the fish that swim into the very most shallow water. The floating line is perfect for that.
I can see the benefit when using small leaders and tippet. Ive had small tippets "cut" the leader line when setting the hook (I could see it was the leader and not tippet that broke). I doubt it can cut a metal ring. :)
Hello. Thank you, glad you like it! You are probably someone that already found something that works for you and you should keep doing it 👊😇 tippet rings are something I never thought I would use but I decided to try it and removes a lot of frustration and it is easy to maintain and replace tippet
We see you fishing for sea trout. How do you choose a place to fish for them. Is it just any shore! Is it an estuary? Can you catch them anywhere? Is it all year round?? I was always told sea trout are more active in the dark!!
Sea trout is one of the most accesable fish to find in Scandinavia. Regulations are different in different areas. Where I live it is all year and basically just any shore depending on weather and wind. There is no big estuaries here so fishing is not better at them. I have a plan to make a night fishing video, let's see how it goes 😇
Hi Robert, did I overlook the length of the first leader section starting witj fly line. How long is that section and is it tapered? Thanks. Really love your video's!!!
I use to go for my full "wingspan" of tippet (about 180 cm) But it depends on what line and if it is very windy. A longer front taper on the line or shooting heads tends to have a weaker turnover so you cant have the same length then. But I always use a minimum of 1.5 meters.
Hey Robert Great videos you post all of Them As far as i Can see the Line is WF 8 F, is this the one you use for fishing shallow waters ? And what type of rod do you use for that specific setup ? Thight Lines from Bornholm / Thomas
Hello. Yes, I sometimes use an eight-weight line. But it is mostly just with that line. I find it to work well. I would encourage more people to try their lines and rods together outside of what the aftm system says is the right line. Underlining and overlining rods is something I do a lot. If you would have to match the line all the time I would have to have hundreds of lines. Often it is just one or two grams difference in a belly of 6, 7, 8 weight lines. Try on a field to do a blind test of lines and rods you own ad see how it feels. After I did that I started underlining for much of my summer fishing.
@@FlyFishingbyRobert då skulle väll kunna köra med XO slomo i #7 på ett Stifu Seatrout i #6 för Stifu är väll snabbare och lite styvare än en vanlig 6a? Tycker klumpen på XO i #6 knappt väger någonting och det kända som att kasta med en skjutning nästan
Great video. Thank you 😊 how do you keep the dropper fly from getting tangled in the tippet ? I think my lack of casting technique will bring mes trouble 😆
Jag tänkte på om det skulle vara sämre fiske, om dom tex. skulle bli skygga när det smattrar på ytan av regnet så dom blir svårare till hugga?? Tänkte höra vad du har för erfarenhet. Om du kan minnas att när du varit ute i regn, tycker du att det varit sämre då. En kompis till mig säger att det är dåligt, men han kan inte säga varför. Du är ju guide, du har många timmar som havsöringsfiskare med fluga. Jag flugfiskar själv men bara gjort i snart 3 år.
The only thing xo and xo 100 have that is similar is the name. Xo 100 is a normal belly wf line and I cast with much better control with a long belly line. This is my absolute favorite line 👌
@@stasmaksimov9531 Yes and No. The only thing I can say is that a longer belly extends the range of an accurate presentation compared to a short head. It doesn't necessarily cast further than other lines even if long belly lines often are marketed as such. It is commonly misunderstood what the original XO line is. It is not designed as a traditional long belly line, a normal long belly is often a pain to cast short distances and doing roll casts. Read the information about the line on Vision's website if you want to learn more. I have tried almost all Meri lines now. They seem to be very nice. I still haven't tried the final version of the slowmo tip. That's the one I'm most excited for that can bring something new to my fishing.
Hey Robert, very good explanation especially for beginners. With your videos people can avoid mistakes. tight lines in 2021. Greetings from Hamburg
Thank you! 👊😊
loved this vid! super helpfull for people like me who is new to flyfishing!
Simple enough, good practice, and effective.
Hey Robert
A little tip
If you tying and extra knot between the dropper and the Main fly in your tippetring, you Will get less tangle om this setup.
Tights lines
Claus
Thanks. I got several messages about doing that. I'll try it. Will probably be how my 2022 video will be 😇
An extra knot ? Hmm .... is it possible to do a drawing? I’m not sure I understand 😊
Could you explain a bit closer? Im rigging up for the premiere tomorrow on the West Coast / SWE and does not really understand what you are saying :)
@@lethuliv5500 The extra knot has no connection to the other lines. Just tie in another piece of tippet but cut it off so it is just a few millimeters long. It should be between the dropper tippet and the tippet to the end fly. If you DM me on Instagram I can send a picture.
@@FlyFishingbyRobert Thank you, I get it now. A bit of distance between the lines.
Great to watch. Fine tutorial bro!!
Thank you!
Great looking setup and video....
Hi Robert, thanks for the great videoes. One question, why do you not use the Perfection loop knot on the flies? I find it so strong and easy, both with flou when seatrout fishing, and wire for the pikes. Best regards, Michael
Can i ask, why did you cut the loop knot on the leader to re-knot it ? Are the loop knots weak in some way?
Herlig video 🙏🎣
Awesome video 👌
what's your opinion about fly snap hook?
I can see that the tippet is fluorocarbon, is the leader fluorocarbon too?
Very Good Video ....Cheers
Great Video thanks for the setup!:)
Which rod should I choose from these 3:
Vision Merisuola
Vision Stifu seatrout
Vision Meri
I think you testet all of them, let me hear your opinion.:)
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you. Meri is my choice. I think that is a fantastic rod 👌
fantastic good to see others rig ! i like it.. where (or what is it called) those rings u use on ur leader
They are called tippet rings. All the dimensions and measurements are in the video description.

Pajjar det inte fluglinan när man knyter på den så här? Ska ju vara loop to loop....
Hi Robert,
Another great video from you :)
What is the benefit of using Tippet Rings instead of a loop to loop connection?

@@FlyFishingbyRobert I will try it. I am new in fly fishing and only catched smaller truts (40 cm) so far.

Is it just any shore!
Is it an estuary?
Can you catch them anywhere?
Is it all year round??

Hi. It is a tapered 9-foot leader.
Hi Robert, Can you make a video also with two handed rod?
Already done 🙂 ruclips.net/video/uOVWXvGI9S8/видео.html
Whats the length between your main fly and the dropper 2nd fly? :)
Thanks for all the great videos.

Hello Robert! What is in your opinion the best size rod for sea trout? Length, Weight etc. Thanks.
7 weight 9 foot is what I prefer.
Great video. Thank you 😊 how do you keep the dropper fly from getting tangled in the tippet ?
I think my lack of casting technique will bring mes trouble 😆
To prevent this you can tie a separate knot in between the two leader parts. I learned that from the comment feed here 👍 it works great.
Can you tell the Guys from Vision we need 15ft FC tapered leaders.? 9ft; Longest available, is a little short 🤓
Hi Vincent. There you are wrong. 13 feet is their longest tapered fluorocarbon leader 👌
@@FlyFishingbyRobert Cool👍 Good to know. Thanks!
What saltwater fly reels would you suggest on a budget? Thanks
Vision Hero 👌😍 I have been able to test it in advance. It is not announced yet.
Thanks, ;-)
Har en fråga!
Tycker du att regn påverkar havsöringsfisket?
Jag tycker det inte har så stor betydelse för mitt fiske om det regnar. Hur menar du att det skulle påverka?
Jag tänkte på om det skulle vara sämre fiske, om dom tex. skulle bli skygga när det smattrar på ytan av regnet så dom blir svårare till hugga?? Tänkte höra vad du har för erfarenhet.

Those “Uni knots” are clinch knots.
why you are not using XO 100 line ?
The only thing xo and xo 100 have that is similar is the name. Xo 100 is a normal belly wf line and I cast with much better control with a long belly line. This is my absolute favorite line 👌
@@FlyFishingbyRobert ok, so line with long belly much sutable for extreme long cast, is’t it? Have you tested the new Meri flyline? Thanks.
@@stasmaksimov9531 Yes and No. The only thing I can say is that a longer belly extends the range of an accurate presentation compared to a short head.
