Good morning from the west coast of southern california ....you have a great video here . I fly fish the lagoons and beaches here in the summers and your tips are spot on .....I use both floating and sinking lines out here and get a lot of halibut . I use alot of bait fish patterns as well as crab , shrimp patterns . 6 to 7 wt. rods and reels for here .... I have 3 OKUMA salt water fly reels that are really inexpensive and hold up well for years now . 5/6 , 6/7 , and a 8/9 weights . my favorite go to fly for out here is a Orange bait fish pattern and a ghost shrimp pattern . next a chartuce / white bait fish pattern .....I swing them in the tidal current flows in my lagoons like streamer fishing a fresh water river or stream for trout and it works well for halibut . Ok thanks for the video I will show it to some friends who are just starting out with there fly fishing bum careers .....Ha !
Thanks so kindly ski burn! There is a bit of stuff and fluff to talk about about getting started but most important you have proper tackle and then the time to get started. Never be to CA but would love to one day. Have to check that out! Been flinging some flys at some pickerel lately with some good results on deceivers. Thanks again for taking the time to watch, share and comment! Hope to see you in sunny California some day! Jerry
Oh very nice place ....I have been up there a couple times ( Rincon ) .to surf back in the day . But fishing a estuary sounds good . Have fun and let me know how its going up there .
Excellent advice. I urge people to always crush the hook barb.The fish appreciate and so will anyone who gets stuck. Also with no barb it's possible to let the fish go by simply putting slack in the line. That way you don't have to handle the fish.
Thanks Ted! Good point on the barbs, I do love the convince and ease of the barbless hook but I have found you do lose some. No big deal on a fast bite and I will crush them on spot. However on a sparse bite or hoping on a bigger fish I tend to leave them or lower if I feel they are too pronounced and interfere with a hookset. But over all its a great idea to crush them, thanks for sharing that Ted!
Hehe thanks smokster 59 days left and 8 hours counting! I still take a drive here there but its plum cold for me right now! Thanks as always smokster love reading your comments
The best place to start fly fishing is a visit to your local fly shop. they have a ton of local knowledge and can help you with specific needs. Give the small shop a visit and tell them Jerry says hi!
Nice Atari music. Dropped by by accident. My first fly caught fish was a bonefish in Boca Paila Mexico in 2005. I got infected back then. Since then, I’ve caught 3 permit, one of them to make a grand slam, countless bonefish and tarpon, including a 170 and another 120 Lb tarpon, countless babies and countless bones, snook, barracuda, jack, snapper and many other species. My all around fly selection are whistlers in chartreuse, white, yellow, orange/red head, Merkin crabs and silly leg gotchas.... Remember, simple is beautiful. Good thing for lazy fly tiers like me is saltwater game fish are not that picky as trout or (sometimes)bass. Cheers from Old Mexico City.
Wow! You so clearly described the tune Rodrigo! Just amazing stuff you have to share! I never had the chance to fish tropical waters but my fly fishing splast was a interesting one. I used to go for trout here and there when I could get the delaware as a kid every summer. Mostly spin fishing but would use the fly rod here and there not know what I was doing but would get a rainbow here and there. Later I fished central PA mostly for smallmouths and largies on the fly and then move to salter northeast water where I do mostly stripers and flounder on the fly. I double on the simple Id rather be fishing then tying flies! Thanks again for sharing your experience Rodrigo!
Thanks Jerry your channel is a Godsend to newbies like me. I picked up a nice outfit i put together with a Lamson 3 pack spare spools and a sinking like called , Sonar 3d 3sink 5 sink.. and a SA Bass Bug floater.. i just need some striper and largemouth flies to get started and leader material as u suggested and I will be ready here in Atlantic City for my first season of fly fishing :) Question if i may? The Half and Halfs and Clousers, how does the weight work with an already weighted line? Do u throw them on the sinking lines or ur floater? Thanks so much i follow ur channel faithfully to learn and grow in our sport. May i ask what is Thanks for ur help always keep antight line for 2023!
Excellent video introduction my favorite fish to catch its are the porgies, with which kind of flies you think ill have the most success in the long island shore ? , thanks
Thanks, have not fished for porgy much with fly but I think small gotcha, closer, crazy charlie and crab flies about size 6 should do it. Now about only bass around so deceivers clouser epoxy minnows for the striper
Give it a whirl! Onece you get your cast down youll be amazed somedays the results you get over other fishing methods! Thanks for the kind words Tallshrew!
thanks for the great video I'm on holiday in Ventura for 3 on Saturday and am taking my fly rod its a 9 wgt which I use for Pike in the canals in Holland (so am lucky I guess) ... can't wait !!
Thats awesome! Let me know how you do you can probably use most the same flys you use for pikes too! I love decievers and clousers most the time just diffrent shapes and colors. hope you subscribe to the channel and please let me know how you do!
FishJonesBeach loved the Martins. You have quite the collection. My very first fly reel was a Martin that I bought for like $25 back in the late 70's. I still have it. The second reel I bought was the Medalist....and I still have and use that one!
I have a few medalists they are awesome! My line set ups are on the cortlands there pretty good too but if i had to start all over defitnitly the medalist! Martins just speak for themselves! Thanks for sharing that Johnny!
Great video. I know you’re in the Northeast. Where are you fishing? I’m in the Chesapeake region. I know there are light tackle salt water guides around me. Do you recommend using a guide as a start? I’ve fly fished, all freshwater for trout for about 3 years. I really enjoy it but would like to expand my fly fishing to include salt water. Thanks, Tony
Thank you! This is in the long island ny to nyc area I fish. A guide would help but I never used one. They would put you some years ahead but with the resources online today try a have at it on your own a little and go from there just enjoy the water thats how i did do it! Thanks Anthony!
Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video. I don't understand why you don't get the line on the reel instead of stripping fish in. Especially in the rocks. Also, for others that are new to the salt, a 9wt with heavy sinking line may be right for what is happening in this video, but is in no way the right rod for all species and conditions. For instance if you are wading the keys for bones, this set up is wrong. The same goes for wading a marsh for redfish.
Thanks flyfisherskor, you do stand correct, the information in the video is primarily directed to inshore north east fly rodders. It is in the write up below. I use many setups for bay, pier, ocean and jetty and I direct this as one setup i would utilize if I only had to pick ONE to start and learn with in all environ the north east region of the US considering deeper cooler moving waters. Thanks for pointing that out!
Thanks Mickey, its a good place to start, properly equip yourself is a first step you know. There a lot of different directions to go after and it can be daunting but this should get about anyone started and ready for the water. Some practice and time after!
It's much easier to get started if you have the correct equipment when you start a new sport. You won't waste your money purchasing the wrong equipment.
I think if your just starting out you should use an intermediate sink line because when people first start out they can't cast very far so the water will be shallow and they will just keep hooking bottom
@@FishYourWay I'm watching your videos again because I like watching you catch those stripers!! Can you tell me where about you are fishing? I live in RI.
Thanks Willy, I do sometimes. i kinda like them all when I am in the mood. Spring bluefish, a bass here and there. The dogfish are good and like some robins here and there and will never rule out some skates! Cant say I have a fav but more of if I am in the mood to clean and cook!
Congratulations for the fantastic vidro !!! Although I come from Italy and it was hard to understand English xD I wanted to ask you something ... if you could explain to me better the part of the leaders .... Leader - For sinking line any 4-6 foot 30 pound mono line will work but I like a 50/50 leader 2ft-2ft (50-30, 30-15, 20-10 etc) .... I did not understand how I should build the leaders .... I would explain it more simple??? Thank you so much and again congratulations =)
Thank you Pierto! I wish I could translate to every languge! But yes you pretty much got it right with the 50/50 formula. I have had days it made a huge difference on finicky fish. fast bite I will just go straight but if i go lighter i use the 50/50 2ft/2ft sometimes 2ft/3ft cause it get shorter! Thanks so much again and greatings from the USA! new York Here!
Also this is probably one of the best instructional videos for salt water fishing newbies out there. Very well laid out. The line weights, sinking styles in combination with rod and reel wt can be very confusing. I like how you laid out what you think is the best starting set up. That's hard to find really.
Always look for availabilty and price most guys who start regret that first reel they bought! I like the martin 61 for freshwater they are light inexspensive and get it done!
Thats so much Francois! I am glad I made it just for this comment! It can be confusing to start, there are many angles to approach this is what i use for 90% of my saltwater fishing and it works. Much appreciate watching and the comment again!
Probably a stupid question, but it's a question. All I have is a 5 weight rod/reel that I use for fresh water trout, bass, and sunfish. I'm going on vacation and was curious if I could get away with throwing smaller flies and attempting to sight fish in the shallows in flordia for small fish. Would this be ok or and I asking for a bad time?
I say GO FOR IT! Not a bad idea. One of the things which make a good fisherman a great one is the ability to use what they got and you by reading your comment got it! Most folks gauge a angler by numbers or weight. I gauge anglers for the ability to adapt and thats what makes you great. It will work so long you match your flies and compensate angles for distance. I use 2/3 of a 5wt fly rod on the pier all the time, it works!
This is awesome! I’m in Southern California, just getting into fly fishing the San Diego bay, and the surf! You said in this to message you, but I don’t see how! Let me know how to get a hold of you, as I have plenty of questions as a newbie from Pennsylvania that used to just fish small/large mouth bass mostly. Some walleye too!
HI DEREK THANKS A BUNCH FOR THE KIND WORDS! I think they may have ended pvt msging on youtube you can always ask in this video or any others. Very cool I fished central PA extensively for many years too! smallies trout walleye catys and the ocasional muskie!
Awesome thank you! I’m starting out here with a 6/7 wt rod, I’m more thinking about my line and leader set up. I’m leaning towards the rio mainstream saltwater line, and I’ve read about leaders that are just connected Mono’s with barrel swivels, 40, 30, 20, 5 ft if each or so. I’ll be in the surf AND in the bay. Anything you can offer tip wise would be helpful for me at this point. Thanks a ton!
Much welcome Derek. I use 90% of the time a sinking line 4ips so my leader I useually use 30 straight or 2-3ft 30lb followed by 2-3 ft 15 if I need lighter which is often. Heavey if i need heavy or even 8 or ten if spooky fish. I dont use any hardware just surgeon knots and perfection loops. If I am using a flosting line then I would do about a 5-3--2 or so formula so I would use about 5ft 40lb - 3ft 30lb to 2ft 20lb then my leader or tippet. Of course you can vary this like 4-2-1 etc for heavier or lighter flys. I actually use tapperd leaders the last a good while and I just change to low portion when I need to they are inexspensive and will get 15 or 20lb ones and cut and add if I need them heavier to accord. Anything just ask ok!
FishJonesBeach thanks again! It’s good to know that there are options, and I’ll just try a couple/few until I find the one I think works best for me and the way I cast (I assume it’s not the most technically correct cast)
No such thing as technically correct in my book! Best approach try a few see what works as long as you have some taper you should be good to go! even a 3-2-1 will get it done more aggressive for bigger flys less for smaller.
Good question, weighted flies and or weighted line you can get it down. Fish close and tight to structure. The will move in shallow water as well. rocks in the day and flats at night.
You should be fine to start but looking at smaller flies, your ok with bigger fish with a 5wt but it may be harder to punch #4-2/o sized flies. If you use smaller flies you should be fine but start wityh what you got and build you have the right idea and it will work just fine just keep in mind bigger flies will be hard to punch out there - Fish Your Way, Jerry
Hi Alexander I cant see why not, for floating line I just use a 50lb to 30lb with a 15lp tipet 6-4-3 about. Sinking I will just use a 6ft to 4ft piece of 30lb mono or 3ft 30 to 2ft 15 for straters may add 12lb for light etc
The flies are generally big so they will turn most leaders and found the formulas need not be precise. Many guys just use 9ft 30lb mono for the float line the find the flies just propel themselves anyhow
Really: I have never seen somebody fishing flatfish with a fly. Like allways a nice video and good explanations. :o) But the stuff you use is like for Salmon fishing in europe, here a 7-8 rod with wf line is quite heavy stuff. Love your flies and the easy rules you use the different colors.
Thanks Robert! You can get away with lighter outfits but throwing 3/0 flies sometimes it gives you that extra punch in the wind you may need. Exclusive jetty fishing I would recommend 11wt but 9 is a great place to start!
I can imagine, that its hard to throw because the weight and size of your flies. To cast them with a light line under wind is impossible. How long are the rods you are using?
Most are 8ft but I do use one 9ft, some guys spey cast you can reach out more but done with bigger rods and reels. Some days the elements will be in your favor but most they are not and need to play with the environment
How about 7/8wt rod with 8 wt sinking line?i want to start for saltwater,and my target is golden snapper and grouper...at my place(malaysia) got many baby snapper...and i want to fly at small island at my place,many rock actually...rock fly fishing...need some advice...tq
That will do it, you can use an 8 or even 9 load it up for the wind better which seem to be ever present. You can certainly vary and points in this video are just for a good starting point but yes will do!
Hello, I loved the video and I would like some tips. I started fly fishing 2 years ago and I do not have a huge arsenal yet, I have an 8wt rod and am going to get a reel for it but I saw the video and figured I should ask a professional about my problem.
Any 8 wt reel or so should do I like to go lighter I think the pflueger medalist 1495 1/2 is pefect the 1495 is good to as well as the 1496. the 1498 i think is too big but its a good reel if yoou dont mind the extra weight. A good low priced reel also is the redington crosswater 7/8/9 nice light reel smooth drag just as good as high priced models. Spools for these reels are also redily available too and reasonable priced. The reel mostly just holds your line so you really dont have to go nuts on price hope that helps!
What about the Redington Behemoth or the Hydros Sl because of their warranty but they are slightly out of my price the Hydros more then the Behemoth but I am a beginner so I am easily distracted by flashy reels and stuff so I need guidance. So thanks.
Yea they both will do the trick and are pretty good reels with readily available spools. The crosswater is a lower price range and will certainly do the trick. I think even the spare spools are on 20 bucks or so new!
Most lines should get you what you need. I use all diffrent brands and yes i have found the more exspensive lines do manage better,, less twist, smoother casting but many off brands and classic lines still get you the performance you need. A good general line at a fair price I like are the cortland 333 or 444. I have used and use them in many of my video. they are fine in the salt as well never had a problem with that and actually cast really well. Bass pro and cabelas should also have cheaper alternatives that will work well my fluking line for the jetty is a cabelas 10ft sink tip I love for that. Beach a 30ft sink tip 4-6ips with a floating running line, backwater I prefer a floating where the 333 or 444 is perfect. Check ebay they often have pretty good deals look around till you found the line you want for a few days sellers may also be selling higher priced but used lines for 1/4 the price of new on there too! Hope some helps and any questions let me know. Fish Your Way! Jerry
Jerry I mostly fish flies in saltwater because releasing fish is so much simpler. But, now I'm 72 and got a spin rod with braid for snotty conditions. Two questions: 1. Does the medalist fly reel drag handle False Albacore? 2. I'd like to send you some flies could you contact me with a mailing address?
Hi Theodore, I can not say for sure as I have not landed any false albacore with them but should hold enough 20lb backing for a good run, MAY want to do the 1498 which would easily handle most any saltwater finned gamefish. But I would be comfortable with a 1495-1/2 for albies they are much lighter and the drag is quite good on them you can get a rim control spool too for added drag. Thanks mighty kind of you! If you like you can get my email in the ABOUT section of the youtube page. Just click over it and it will display me email send a email and well go from there. So much appreciate any question just let me know, always kindest, Jerry
Jerry, you remind me of someone and now I know who that is. You look like Kenny Vance of the Planotones from Brooklyn. ( I hope you take this as a complement. ) Mickey
I live in Calif. Santa barbara. Want to target perch. Any recommendations on flies. I know they like sandcrabs. Sinking line? Its wide open here. No one flyfish the surf.
Very fun fishing on the fly you will enjoy it. If the like crabs I am think some leggy patterns? In the salt moving water on the bottom where crabs would be most defitanily a sinking line! Crabby patterns, shrimps, clouser minnows should do well! You will need to find local patterns by experimentation but you are on the right track! Thanks for watching and let me know when you get the bigum!!
I was fishing Newport harbor for bass and halibut around the rocks with my sage rxpli and able super 8, a harbor patrol flew by and his prop picked up my line, the drag was screaming until the tip snapped like a twig. :-( $50 replacement time.
Hiya Pharraoh! My good lord, that is a sweet set up to get torn up! I hope you sent a bill to the state! Were they able to complete repair the rod or did it shorten?
sage and many other rods are life time guarantee. break it they replace them. I sent the broken piece in and the serial number of the rod, the built me a new tom section and painted the same serial number on it to math the other 2 sections. The replacement fee is $50 for the matching and shipping. Not too bad, seeing the rod cost about $600 originally. But I did try to get the state to pay for the replacement and my fly line, another $60 or so, DENIED! I go nothing!
Whew, thats a releif as far as the rod! Amazing no liability, if it was the other way interest would be compiling by now, well awesome you got the rod back repaired and fishing!
Thanks Amy I try to keep things simple to help get anyone started and from there you can expand to cater your needs. Any questions just reply anytime thanks again and kindest regards Jerry
Hi Den thanks for watching and commenting, they are hard to fine but I get them when I can they are made well and I love them but I have to get them second hand
Really great video very informative. I decided to expand my horizons this year and get myself setup for SW fly fishing... great thing is there are many companies who offer some quality value priced setups (Red, reel, line and backing) all that is missing are a few flies and a fly box :)
Its a truly awesome pure yet raw sport. complete connection with your environment and quarry. rewarding. Keep an eye on values till you find a setup you feel is worth the money. Most of my rods are under 50 bucks some worth over 100 but I like the cheaper ones better i dont feel so bad when i bang em around and the cast just as well! Fly boxes are great but its funny the few flies I use in a day I generally just keep in my front pocket but I feel more secure carry a few boxes you never know! You will enjoy it Dan! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I have about 5 diffrent setups but my fav is a 9/10wt fish eagle 9.6' blank with a cortland ltd 100 can handle everything second is a 8/9 9' also cortland reel as in the video others I use for light or fw good question!
One more thing is there rules when it comes to building my own tapered leader? If I have a WF7 or a WF8 is there a certain lb test I have to use to make my own leader??
Sinking lines your ok with plain mono. Try a few formula but 60-40--20 or 50-30-15 taperd down should do it, I think its more of a matter of the size on the end you want to use. I would use about 4ft-2ft-1ft about a little more or less. More of a feel then a science
Holy shot a lot of commercials. Background music can also go or be turned down. Not trying to be critical, but that took a great vid and made it so so.
Fish Your Way - Great! Looking back it sounded a lot more negative than what was intended, so I appreciate you taking it as constructive feedback (is how it was intended). Looking forward to future vids!
FishJonesBeach yes I only landed one 40 lb salmon on one years a go the only time I ever tried to use it up north New York and tbh didn't feel too crazy of a fight but I'm.sure certain conditions it will be a hell of a fight lol as I've seen in other ppls videos
I up arrowed but I think the music track is unnecessary, repetitive and detracts from the clarity of the important information especially because we're also hearing the wind and surf etc..
Thanks for the contructive sritisism will keep in mind and may do another video of the sort in the future and will consider your thoughts in all future video! thanks for watching and the thumbs up and dealing with the corny music!
I wish you didnt put the music in, or at least muted it a little bit i couldnt understand anything you said. The only info i was able to get from this video was when the worda popped up on the screen. :(
The silly music drove me insane .. I couldn't watch it more than 5 minutes.. I would have watched the video all the way through it was very well made and informative..but I couldn't finish watching with that crazy ice cream truck music on ❗❗❗😫
I got you, will keep in mind, next time (11am tomorrow), some like some dont and thanks for the feedback, DO have one coming out tomorrow on saltwater fly lines leader backing knots etc with NO MUSIC!!! May have a few bumps and noise but no backgrounds. Hope you check that out may be a easier watch, thanks Dino
Yea, I noticed too but in a weird kinda way it makes the video. Never look for perfection just some good fishing and some fun with the work. Thanks for taking the time to comment, kindest Jerry
Would have really loved to watch a learn, however why you and many YT-bers insist on playing music. If I, we want to listen to music we have a plethora of options.
@@mvnasti Absolutely not! I have a lot of comments on the music, some love it many are not big fans of it, all a part of it. I take your feedbacks in light and consider for things I do in the future. Thanks for your input it is appreciated Mike
@@mvnasti Thank you! May your rod be bent like no other rod every been! I say to folks starting on the fly just take everything slow - everything, if you feel something aint working, anything just slow it down from your approach, cast, retrieve, walk, setup, everything
Thanks for the input Rena will take that into consideration for future video. If you do have any question about sw fly fishing comment or msg any time i would be happy to help, kind regards and thanks again for taking the time comment, Jerry

This is the video I've been looking for and need. BIG New York Thank You!
Could do without the music tho...
Ah the music! Will keep in mind thanks for the input Charles
Glad it was helpful! A big old much welcome! And thanks for the words Charles!
Thanks Jerry your channel is a Godsend to newbies like me. I picked up a nice outfit i put together with a Lamson 3 pack spare spools and a sinking like called , Sonar 3d 3sink 5 sink.. and a SA Bass Bug floater..
i just need some striper and largemouth flies to get started and leader material as u suggested and I will be ready here in Atlantic City for my first season of fly fishing :)
Question if i may? The Half and Halfs and Clousers, how does the weight work with an already weighted line? Do u throw them on the sinking lines or ur floater?
Thanks so much i follow ur channel faithfully to learn and grow in our sport. May i ask what is Thanks for ur help always keep antight line for 2023!
Thank you so much! sounds like your on your way! All the best and tightlines soon on the fly!!!

I've seen this video a few times. I actually like the music.
Thanks Saltwater Fly Fisherman! Me to!
Great video, but I can't hear the tutorial due to the annoying music. R.

@@FishYourWay thanks
Much welcome @@fishingbear69
You got me wondering whether this would be something I should try over here in the UK. Bass in summertime maybe. Great video.
Give it a whirl! Onece you get your cast down youll be amazed somedays the results you get over other fishing methods! Thanks for the kind words Tallshrew!
Thanks for the shout out Jerry! Awesome video!
You got it Tim, your surf candies are the tops!
Great video with a great summary of core information and tips.
Thank you tito! Hope you subscribe to the channel have a few fluke fly fishing videos coming up and plenty more fly fishing fun to come!
thanks for the great video I'm on holiday in Ventura for 3 on Saturday and am taking my fly rod its a 9 wgt which I use for Pike in the canals in Holland (so am lucky I guess) ... can't wait !!
Thats awesome! Let me know how you do you can probably use most the same flys you use for pikes too! I love decievers and clousers most the time just diffrent shapes and colors. hope you subscribe to the channel and please let me know how you do!
Thanks for the intro Jerry. Very educational especially for someone like me..doesn't know anything about fly fishing.
Hey gills! Much welcome and thanks as always for watching! Any specific questions feel Free to ask anytime ok!
Awesome Jerry. Great advice ....fuel the addiction. Pflueger Medalist is classic and proves you don't need to spend a fortune for solid equipment.
Thanks johnny! One of the finest crafted reels! Small scale for 7wt down I like the martins i show in the photos to they are great just a clicker
FishJonesBeach loved the Martins. You have quite the collection. My very first fly reel was a Martin that I bought for like $25 back in the late 70's. I still have it. The second reel I bought was the Medalist....and I still have and use that one!
I have a few medalists they are awesome! My line set ups are on the cortlands there pretty good too but if i had to start all over defitnitly the medalist! Martins just speak for themselves! Thanks for sharing that Johnny!
Great video. I know you’re in the Northeast. Where are you fishing? I’m in the Chesapeake region. I know there are light tackle salt water guides around me. Do you recommend using a guide as a start? I’ve fly fished, all freshwater for trout for about 3 years. I really enjoy it but would like to expand my fly fishing to include salt water. Thanks, Tony
Thank you! This is in the long island ny to nyc area I fish. A guide would help but I never used one. They would put you some years ahead but with the resources online today try a have at it on your own a little and go from there just enjoy the water thats how i did do it! Thanks Anthony!
Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video. I don't understand why you don't get the line on the reel instead of stripping fish in. Especially in the rocks. Also, for others that are new to the salt, a 9wt with heavy sinking line may be right for what is happening in this video, but is in no way the right rod for all species and conditions. For instance if you are wading the keys for bones, this set up is wrong. The same goes for wading a marsh for redfish.
Thanks flyfisherskor, you do stand correct, the information in the video is primarily directed to inshore north east fly rodders. It is in the write up below. I use many setups for bay, pier, ocean and jetty and I direct this as one setup i would utilize if I only had to pick ONE to start and learn with in all environ the north east region of the US considering deeper cooler moving waters. Thanks for pointing that out!
Great information. This video is a must see for anyone that wants to get into fly fishing.
Thanks Mickey, its a good place to start, properly equip yourself is a first step you know. There a lot of different directions to go after and it can be daunting but this should get about anyone started and ready for the water. Some practice and time after!
It's much easier to get started if you have the correct equipment when you start a new sport. You won't waste your money purchasing the wrong equipment.
Theres a ton to choose from too!
Thank you.
Welcome!
Great video. I fish this area all the time. Maybe I’ll see you out there! I just started fly fishing and these videos have been very helpful
Thank you andrew much appreciate and keep the lines tight enjoy! Kindest and tightlines - Jerry
Awesomeness I needed this info, thank you
Sure thing for 4Da! If you have any other question let me know!
I think if your just starting out you should use an intermediate sink line because when people first start out they can't cast very far so the water will be shallow and they will just keep hooking bottom
Very good point! thanks for sharing that Big Ron
@@FishYourWay I'm watching your videos again because I like watching you catch those stripers!! Can you tell me where about you are fishing? I live in RI.
@@bigron8346 This is in nyc ny ron
@@FishYourWay Thank you I'm from R.I.
@@bigron8346 Thats so cool al;ways look forward to hearing from people in other countries and states
Great video thank you ; do you ever eat the fish and if so what’s your favorite tasting fish ?
Thanks Willy, I do sometimes. i kinda like them all when I am in the mood. Spring bluefish, a bass here and there. The dogfish are good and like some robins here and there and will never rule out some skates! Cant say I have a fav but more of if I am in the mood to clean and cook!
Congratulations for the fantastic vidro !!! Although I come from Italy and it was hard to understand English xD I wanted to ask you something ... if you could explain to me better the part of the leaders .... Leader - For sinking line any 4-6 foot 30 pound mono line will work but I like a 50/50 leader 2ft-2ft (50-30, 30-15, 20-10 etc) .... I did not understand how I should build the leaders .... I would explain it more simple??? Thank you so much and again congratulations =)
Thank you Pierto! I wish I could translate to every languge! But yes you pretty much got it right with the 50/50 formula. I have had days it made a huge difference on finicky fish. fast bite I will just go straight but if i go lighter i use the 50/50 2ft/2ft sometimes 2ft/3ft cause it get shorter! Thanks so much again and greatings from the USA! new York Here!
Thank you sir
So much welcome thanks for watching!
Good point on the spare spools.
Also this is probably one of the best instructional videos for salt water fishing newbies out there. Very well laid out.
The line weights, sinking styles in combination with rod and reel wt can be very confusing. I like how you laid out what you think is the best starting set up. That's hard to find really.
Always look for availabilty and price most guys who start regret that first reel they bought! I like the martin 61 for freshwater they are light inexspensive and get it done!
Thats so much Francois! I am glad I made it just for this comment! It can be confusing to start, there are many angles to approach this is what i use for 90% of my saltwater fishing and it works. Much appreciate watching and the comment again!
Awesome job man! Great video!
Thanks bud!
Probably a stupid question, but it's a question. All I have is a 5 weight rod/reel that I use for fresh water trout, bass, and sunfish. I'm going on vacation and was curious if I could get away with throwing smaller flies and attempting to sight fish in the shallows in flordia for small fish. Would this be ok or and I asking for a bad time?
I say GO FOR IT! Not a bad idea. One of the things which make a good fisherman a great one is the ability to use what they got and you by reading your comment got it! Most folks gauge a angler by numbers or weight. I gauge anglers for the ability to adapt and thats what makes you great. It will work so long you match your flies and compensate angles for distance. I use 2/3 of a 5wt fly rod on the pier all the time, it works!
@@FishYourWay
Awesome. Thanks for the support.
I'll let you know how it goes.
@@alexw4575 Sure thing!
Looks very interesting ... but the overloud background video game from the 80' music is unbearable.
Thanks Thomas appreciate the input gotcha will keep in mind and thanks!
Chaos on FLY!
Your the tops thanks Douglas!
This is awesome! I’m in Southern California, just getting into fly fishing the San Diego bay, and the surf! You said in this to message you, but I don’t see how! Let me know how to get a hold of you, as I have plenty of questions as a newbie from Pennsylvania that used to just fish small/large mouth bass mostly. Some walleye too!
HI DEREK THANKS A BUNCH FOR THE KIND WORDS! I think they may have ended pvt msging on youtube you can always ask in this video or any others. Very cool I fished central PA extensively for many years too! smallies trout walleye catys and the ocasional muskie!
Awesome thank you! I’m starting out here with a 6/7 wt rod, I’m more thinking about my line and leader set up. I’m leaning towards the rio mainstream saltwater line, and I’ve read about leaders that are just connected Mono’s with barrel swivels, 40, 30, 20, 5 ft if each or so. I’ll be in the surf AND in the bay. Anything you can offer tip wise would be helpful for me at this point. Thanks a ton!
Much welcome Derek. I use 90% of the time a sinking line 4ips so my leader I useually use 30 straight or 2-3ft 30lb followed by 2-3 ft 15 if I need lighter which is often. Heavey if i need heavy or even 8 or ten if spooky fish. I dont use any hardware just surgeon knots and perfection loops. If I am using a flosting line then I would do about a 5-3--2 or so formula so I would use about 5ft 40lb - 3ft 30lb to 2ft 20lb then my leader or tippet. Of course you can vary this like 4-2-1 etc for heavier or lighter flys. I actually use tapperd leaders the last a good while and I just change to low portion when I need to they are inexspensive and will get 15 or 20lb ones and cut and add if I need them heavier to accord. Anything just ask ok!
FishJonesBeach thanks again! It’s good to know that there are options, and I’ll just try a couple/few until I find the one I think works best for me and the way I cast (I assume it’s not the most technically correct cast)
No such thing as technically correct in my book! Best approach try a few see what works as long as you have some taper you should be good to go! even a 3-2-1 will get it done more aggressive for bigger flys less for smaller.
Hey how do you catch fluke/flounder with a fly? Can you bottom fish with a fly rod?
Good question, weighted flies and or weighted line you can get it down. Fish close and tight to structure. The will move in shallow water as well. rocks in the day and flats at night.
@@FishYourWay Thanks a million Jerry for the quick response. I think I’ll try my hand at fly fishing this summer/fall! Happy hunting, sir!
Much welcome Karim!
I have a 5 weight rod and I'm only looking to go after surf perch. I know it's not ideal but will it work
You should be fine to start but looking at smaller flies, your ok with bigger fish with a 5wt but it may be harder to punch #4-2/o sized flies. If you use smaller flies you should be fine but start wityh what you got and build you have the right idea and it will work just fine just keep in mind bigger flies will be hard to punch out there - Fish Your Way, Jerry
@@FishYourWay thanks
What were the materials used in the middle epoxy minnow
bucktail and 5 min epoxy did the truick
@@FishYourWay how do you tie the one with Mylar tubing
@@clintkaufman1011 Put mylar on, flip mylar, tie fly, flip mylar over, epoxy
Please get rid of that backing 'music'
Thanks for the input just may do a re edit much appreciate kind regards jere
Can’t hear you narrate
:( i gave up because of the music
Yes the music is getting to me!
Enjoyed the video.Thanks for the info. What length rod do you use?
8 to 10 ft is ample 8.5 and 9.5 is what io use thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
Great video mate, would be better if the music was turned down or completely off so we could what you are saying better.
I will keep[ in mind! Thanks for the constructive critisism! Kindest, catchemup and fishyourway! Jerry
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks as always Bass Bros!
What kind of tippet would I tie at the end of the leader? Also would I be able to use a furled leader? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Alexander I cant see why not, for floating line I just use a 50lb to 30lb with a 15lp tipet 6-4-3 about. Sinking I will just use a 6ft to 4ft piece of 30lb mono or 3ft 30 to 2ft 15 for straters may add 12lb for light etc
The flies are generally big so they will turn most leaders and found the formulas need not be precise. Many guys just use 9ft 30lb mono for the float line the find the flies just propel themselves anyhow
Really: I have never seen somebody fishing flatfish with a fly. Like allways a nice video and good explanations. :o)
But the stuff you use is like for Salmon fishing in europe, here a 7-8 rod with wf line is quite heavy stuff. Love your flies and the easy rules you use the different colors.
Thanks Robert! You can get away with lighter outfits but throwing 3/0 flies sometimes it gives you that extra punch in the wind you may need. Exclusive jetty fishing I would recommend 11wt but 9 is a great place to start!
I can imagine, that its hard to throw because the weight and size of your flies. To cast them with a light line under wind is impossible. How long are the rods you are using?
Most are 8ft but I do use one 9ft, some guys spey cast you can reach out more but done with bigger rods and reels. Some days the elements will be in your favor but most they are not and need to play with the environment
How about 7/8wt rod with 8 wt sinking line?i want to start for saltwater,and my target is golden snapper and grouper...at my place(malaysia) got many baby snapper...and i want to fly at small island at my place,many rock actually...rock fly fishing...need some advice...tq
That will do it, you can use an 8 or even 9 load it up for the wind better which seem to be ever present. You can certainly vary and points in this video are just for a good starting point but yes will do!
@@FishYourWay ohh...tq...i will try to get wt8/9 later...tq..
Sure thing! Youll be fine with the 7/8 but a 8/9 or 9/10 you will just be able to punch bigger flies easier
Hello, I loved the video and I would like some tips. I started fly fishing 2 years ago and I do not have a huge arsenal yet, I have an 8wt rod and am going to get a reel for it but I saw the video and figured I should ask a professional about my problem.
Any 8 wt reel or so should do I like to go lighter I think the pflueger medalist 1495 1/2 is pefect the 1495 is good to as well as the 1496. the 1498 i think is too big but its a good reel if yoou dont mind the extra weight. A good low priced reel also is the redington crosswater 7/8/9 nice light reel smooth drag just as good as high priced models. Spools for these reels are also redily available too and reasonable priced. The reel mostly just holds your line so you really dont have to go nuts on price hope that helps!
What about the Redington Behemoth or the Hydros Sl because of their warranty but they are slightly out of my price the Hydros more then the Behemoth but I am a beginner so I am easily distracted by flashy reels and stuff so I need guidance. So thanks.
Yea they both will do the trick and are pretty good reels with readily available spools. The crosswater is a lower price range and will certainly do the trick. I think even the spare spools are on 20 bucks or so new!
Thank you very much
Much welcome!
So I should get the pfluger 1495- 1/2 and put 10 wt sinking line to get started and any 9 wt rod will do?
You should be good to go and a great start with a setup like that! I say YES!!!!
I'm having trouble finding a saltwater sinking line that fits the bill. Any recommendations? I see lots of intermediates and floating lines available.
Most lines should get you what you need. I use all diffrent brands and yes i have found the more exspensive lines do manage better,, less twist, smoother casting but many off brands and classic lines still get you the performance you need. A good general line at a fair price I like are the cortland 333 or 444. I have used and use them in many of my video. they are fine in the salt as well never had a problem with that and actually cast really well. Bass pro and cabelas should also have cheaper alternatives that will work well my fluking line for the jetty is a cabelas 10ft sink tip I love for that. Beach a 30ft sink tip 4-6ips with a floating running line, backwater I prefer a floating where the 333 or 444 is perfect. Check ebay they often have pretty good deals look around till you found the line you want for a few days sellers may also be selling higher priced but used lines for 1/4 the price of new on there too! Hope some helps and any questions let me know. Fish Your Way! Jerry

I mostly fish flies in saltwater because releasing fish is so much simpler. But, now I'm 72 and got a spin rod with braid for snotty conditions. Two questions: 1. Does the medalist fly reel drag handle False Albacore? 2. I'd like to send you some flies could you contact me with a mailing address?
Hi Theodore, I can not say for sure as I have not landed any false albacore with them but should hold enough 20lb backing for a good run, MAY want to do the 1498 which would easily handle most any saltwater finned gamefish. But I would be comfortable with a 1495-1/2 for albies they are much lighter and the drag is quite good on them you can get a rim control spool too for added drag. Thanks mighty kind of you! If you like you can get my email in the ABOUT section of the youtube page. Just click over it and it will display me email send a email and well go from there. So much appreciate any question just let me know, always kindest, Jerry
Nice tutorial Jerry
THANKS FRANK!!!!
Jerry, you remind me of someone and now I know who that is. You look like Kenny Vance of the Planotones from Brooklyn. ( I hope you take this as a complement. ) Mickey
Thanks Mickey most certainly will take as a compliment! Kindest regards jerry, hopefully will find time to run a live stream soon!
Sounds good. I enjoy the comments of your viewers. Thanks, Mickey
Excellent video
Thanks Jim! Will catch you out there soon, hopefully w have an early bite! Talk soon!
I live in Calif. Santa barbara. Want to target perch. Any recommendations on flies. I know they like sandcrabs. Sinking line? Its wide open here. No one flyfish the surf.
Very fun fishing on the fly you will enjoy it. If the like crabs I am think some leggy patterns? In the salt moving water on the bottom where crabs would be most defitanily a sinking line! Crabby patterns, shrimps, clouser minnows should do well! You will need to find local patterns by experimentation but you are on the right track! Thanks for watching and let me know when you get the bigum!!
I was fishing Newport harbor for bass and halibut around the rocks with my sage rxpli and able super 8, a harbor patrol flew by and his prop picked up my line, the drag was screaming until the tip snapped like a twig. :-( $50 replacement time.
Hiya Pharraoh! My good lord, that is a sweet set up to get torn up! I hope you sent a bill to the state! Were they able to complete repair the rod or did it shorten?
sage and many other rods are life time guarantee. break it they replace them. I sent the broken piece in and the serial number of the rod, the built me a new tom section and painted the same serial number on it to math the other 2 sections. The replacement fee is $50 for the matching and shipping. Not too bad, seeing the rod cost about $600 originally. But I did try to get the state to pay for the replacement and my fly line, another $60 or so, DENIED! I go nothing!
Whew, thats a releif as far as the rod! Amazing no liability, if it was the other way interest would be compiling by now, well awesome you got the rod back repaired and fishing!
learned a lot
Thanks Amy should have more soon hope you subscribe to the channel! Kindest Jerry
I wanted to start fly fishing and this narrowed everything down perfectly.
Thanks Amy I try to keep things simple to help get anyone started and from there you can expand to cater your needs. Any questions just reply anytime thanks again and kindest regards Jerry
How much are those Leeda Dragonfly reels, they look vintage, do they still make that style?
Hi Den thanks for watching and commenting, they are hard to fine but I get them when I can they are made well and I love them but I have to get them second hand
Would I be able to catch porgy from shore with fly fishing rods?
If they are around I cant see why not the areas I normally fish do not hold them but i would certainly try the do take jigs! Good question!
Really great video very informative. I decided to expand my horizons this year and get myself setup for SW fly fishing... great thing is there are many companies who offer some quality value priced setups (Red, reel, line and backing) all that is missing are a few flies and a fly box :)
Its a truly awesome pure yet raw sport. complete connection with your environment and quarry. rewarding. Keep an eye on values till you find a setup you feel is worth the money. Most of my rods are under 50 bucks some worth over 100 but I like the cheaper ones better i dont feel so bad when i bang em around and the cast just as well! Fly boxes are great but its funny the few flies I use in a day I generally just keep in my front pocket but I feel more secure carry a few boxes you never know! You will enjoy it Dan! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Great video but the music drowns out the commentary. The music sucks and ruins the video.
Thanks for your input will keep to mind
Are you constantly exited or cold cause ur hands shake a lot
I am always excited when Im fishing but yes they do shake all the time no matter what
Where do you fish?
Mostly lower NY State
Can you tell us what your setup is if you dont mind sharing.
I have about 5 diffrent setups but my fav is a 9/10wt fish eagle 9.6' blank with a cortland ltd 100 can handle everything second is a 8/9 9' also cortland reel as in the video others I use for light or fw good question!
Thank you for sharing your setups!!
Much welcome!
One more thing is there rules when it comes to building my own tapered leader? If I have a WF7 or a WF8 is there a certain lb test I have to use to make my own leader??
Sinking lines your ok with plain mono. Try a few formula but 60-40--20 or 50-30-15 taperd down should do it, I think its more of a matter of the size on the end you want to use. I would use about 4ft-2ft-1ft about a little more or less. More of a feel then a science
Holy shot a lot of commercials. Background music can also go or be turned down.
Not trying to be critical, but that took a great vid and made it so so.
Thank you for the input Kevin all taken in good light and future reference, much appreciate taking the time to watch and comment
Fish Your Way - Great! Looking back it sounded a lot more negative than what was intended, so I appreciate you taking it as constructive feedback (is how it was intended). Looking forward to future vids!
Not at all taken negative here! Thanks Kevin!
Will Redington Crosswater 8wt rod work for that?
Overall I prefer a 9wt but 8wt Should do quite well, I used one a few times nice rod good to go!

Hehe, i like when ya nag me Aaron!
Is it hell to land a big fish on a fly rod
You have to remember the rods are whippy but the fish are pretty much on a rope it all how you angle the rod
FishJonesBeach yes I only landed one 40 lb salmon on one years a go the only time I ever tried to use it up north New York and tbh didn't feel too crazy of a fight but I'm.sure certain conditions it will be a hell of a fight lol as I've seen in other ppls videos
They will put on a show for sure even the small ones!
I up arrowed but I think the music track is unnecessary, repetitive and detracts from the clarity of the important information especially because we're also hearing the wind and surf etc..
Thanks for the contructive sritisism will keep in mind and may do another video of the sort in the future and will consider your thoughts in all future video! thanks for watching and the thumbs up and dealing with the corny music!
I wish you didnt put the music in, or at least muted it a little bit i couldnt understand anything you said. The only info i was able to get from this video was when the worda popped up on the screen. :(
