    Been saltwater fly fishing for about 10 years now. About 1 year ago I dropped the standard fly lines and swapped to a 350grain scandi shooting head from OPST and a 7 ft floating tip along with it. It's adds so much to my set up and no for fatigue from double hauling when the wind gets crazy. It's nothing to dump 60ft of line out with one simple haul. I'm also leaning to use a switch rod for two jaded spey style casting, to cut out hauling all together. It's definitely worth a look at the OPST system.

    Funny I have never watched a fly fishing video... never, but just yesterday happened to watch a video from a year ago by The Lateral Line where Nathan just picked up the old fly rod after years to catch a NZ Kingfish. He also had trouble once the wind picked up but did manage to land a nice fish. And he did a little side video of how he made his fly. Then today my favorite RUclipsr (the only channel with notifications on) makes basically the same video.

Been subbed for a while and enjoy your attitude and we can all tell you are just out there having fun. I agree about getting a cheap outfit to learn on and also learn if you want to fly fish long term without breaking the bank. BTW, your casting, line handling, hook setting are getting better and better really quick. It shows.

    YES! Thank you for shooting those "expensive or bust" guys down. No, no I e needs an expensive setup. I have been fly fishing from Montana and Wyoming to Florida and Texas... on a cheap TFO 5wt and bargain brand 9wt. They are both older than 10yrs and both have caught piles and piles of fish, tiny and monstrous. Sure, a luxury sedan drives nicer than a economy hand-me-down but they both still get you to work!
    Also I love you homemade flies. My first dragonflies were made from an old flipflop and my dogs fur. They worked great!
    Tight lines everyone!

    Greetings from Denmark. It is such a pleasure to watch your enthusiastic approach to fly fishing. Very nice close up take on the video, which are very hard to capture. You should really try out fishing for bonefish some day if you have the opportunity to do so. You might have to upgrade the reel or maybe some other gear and you are in for a treat.

    I only started fly fishing a couple of months ago... I'm a saltwater angler, and the level of knowledge I had to go through just to learn that I needed to cast 50lb -> 30lb -> 15lb leaders with heavier flies was insane!! I loved every minute of it, but it was an absolute pain to get to that point!
    But honestly, this kind of fishing is forcing me to realize the necessity of line diameter in all aspects of fishing!! I don't know exactly what it means just yet, but I can confidently say that trying Fly Fishing, and becoming better at it, forced me to be a better angler!! Can't wait to see what I catch with it though...

  • @simonemidy4259
    @simonemidy4259 2 года назад

    been out many times with the fly rod in the flats, and, fish close to the piers here in Galveston. when conventional guys are not catching anything, me and my fly rod do. im fortunate I got to work for and Orvis/Sage dealer part time for many years. learned a lot and taught a lot. Good job Coop. When you can afford it, invest in a really good stick, 7-8-9- even a 10 weight. Then get a good reel. and on both the stick and the reel? you'll get a thousand people telling you to get this rod/reel or that rod/reel. you have to test them out from full flex, mid flex to fast action and find what suits you the best. Good luck Coop, and bust out the fly rod more often.

    I live in Michigan. Some people will use fly lures on a spinning rod. I’ve seen people fish two wet flys directly behind a light weight tied on the end of the line, nymph tied behind a crank bait, and a wet fly under a bobber all get trout!

    Man, a good fly should hold up pretty well compared to other lures. I've tied up a few shrimp but have yet to catch anything in saltwater. Kinda nervous to hook up on anything real big though as it's only a 4wt.
    Zonker streamers work really well too.

  • @quantumaquatic1767
    @quantumaquatic1767 2 года назад

    I encourage yall to join Texas saltwater fly fishing on FB. you'll learn alot! Ever since I left the spinner I have rarely gone back ! I'll only use my spinner now to skip a doa across the jetty surf to find them Jack's or Spanish then switch to the fly rod. Fun stuff. I haven't targeted sheepers on the fly but I have caught one on a shrimp fly around a pier post. On the flats or jetty slow presentation is key 🔑

    my grandfather gave me a cheap Berkely fly rod reel combo when I was 12. Learned to fish with it and have thousands of hours on it. Im now 65 and have nice rods but still use will the Berkely. Its guides need replaced again.
    Have tied a fly at the creek using some of my dogs hair and it caught fish.
    No need to spend a lot of money, fly fishing is about skills learned more than high dollar stuff.

  • @geocaste
    @geocaste 2 года назад

    Nice palming of the reel. You've been fly fishing off camera, haven't you? LOL, cheap and Orvis are not synonymous. Temple Fork Outfitters makes a good 5wt setup with everything but the fly for $200. I always take a fly rod because I know if there are fish, I will catch them. They may not be the biggest fish, but I'm still having fun when no one else is catching fish.

    @southbrazosbass244 2 года назад +1

    Throwing lures in general is superior because it gets you an aggressive strike because it's moving also you comb and cover more water. Anyways duplicate the best part of fly fishing by downsizing your lure, for instance, right now being late winter and into early spring, in back waters of Galveston bay, fish prefer little tiny shad lures, I'm using white glow shad tandem speck rigs. 8th oz. Kills it.
