I enjoy the candidness of your videos. I fished Northern New Mexico years ago while stationed at Kirtland AFB and White Sands Missile Range...and I fished most of the areas you film. A few words of advice that might help you get more hook-ups. First, I often see coils in your leader and tippet. Try to smooth those out better with the friction of your fingers (before the leader / tippet gets wet). Less coil means easier hook sets. Second, for small stream fishing, avoid using the larger bobber-sized strike indicators. They splash when they hit the water and spook fish. Try 'Palsa Pinch-ons' ...they are lighter and better allow you to see gentle takes... especially on smaller / clearer water. Save the larger indicators for faster, deeper water when nymphing with split shot or heavier beadhead nymphs. Tight lines and keep exploring!
I always wanted to go on more adventures to forests and camp while fishing and doing catch and cooks but my friends always complained cuz they are not as outdoorsy like me 😭although I like recording my adventures with my friends I typically only record for my memories and never got to make videos like urs which are awesome 🤩so I’m glad I can watch people like you who share the experience and remind me of the beauty of nature ❤️ I appreciate ur craft and your inspirational message on ur about for this channel❤️❤️❤️
Hey Ninja! Fly fishing is pretty cheap to get into at an entry level, especially compared to outdoor sports. The first year I fly fished, my whole rig (flies, rod, reel) cost about $60. As time went on, I discovered what I liked and invested in things like waders, boots, specialized rods reels and tackle. But even when I was 14-15 with my $60 rig I fell in love with the adventure and solitude of it, and I caught a lot of fish that way. Does that help?
That is where I fished a lot when I was learning, so I’d recommend it is a starting spot! Now I try to go travel around when I can, but I do come back to pecos sometimes.
Cant stop watching your videos

Cool vid. Is fly fishing expensive? I want to learn. I always see guys fly fishing up in Jemez.

Does that help?
@@elisjournal4435 yeah. I will definitely try to find a beginners setup. Do you usually fish the Pecos?

Right on! I’ll have another video up in a few minutes :)
