Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!

Hello Everyone! Here is a link to the fly line used in this tutorial - a quality floating line makes all the difference when casting! amzn.to/38jUaTg
Nice release glad to see someone else that does catch and release and doesn’t take the fish out of the water
Thank you - I’m not always successful at that - but I always wet my hands and the fish rarely stays out of the water more than a second. Cheers!
😂😂. That was perfect.
Thank you!
Good quick review!
Thank you!
Figure 8 retrieve
Another great name for it! Cheers!
Guess you proved that works! 👍🎣🙂 That’s a great video! I just started practicing that retrieve 2 days ago..and boy do I need practice, but I’ll get it..eventually! 😂 Happy holidays to you!
I know!! How crazy was that...as I was filming the tutorial, a fish grabbed the fly - Lol. So cool and happy holidays to you and yours as well - Cheers!
Damn that bite was hard!!!
I've always used this method for swinging soft hackle wets and bringing them back in this way. Catches lots of trout.
Indeed it does! It was pretty awesome that it happened during my tutorial...Lol
Nice to see I’m not the only one still using an Orvis Battenkill large arbor reel! I had a vendor joke a few years ago that it should be in a museum…Naw, it still works fine!
I absolutely LOVE mine! In fact, just picked up a couple of OG Battenkill Large Arbor reels on Ebay - just in case the one that has a million fish miles on er finally gives up :))
Never heard of it Dan ? Good thing to know ! Thanks bub ! 😁 take care 🖒
Thanks, you too!
that was sick
Thanks!
This is how I was thought to retrieve…although I learned from the best teacher…Ernie kalwa
That’s awesome - cheers!
That's all so awesome thank you
Great demonstration with a happy ending
Yes indeed! Love beaker btw :))
That’s actually called the figure of eight retrieve !😂
It's called the figure 8 over here
I have heard that as well - thanks for taking the time to watch. Cheers!
i learned it as a figure 8 strip
COOL ,TAKE ME FISHEN
The figure 8 retrieve? Ive used that since day one watching Bob cargnil's fly fishing videos from the 80's
It's an effective retrieve for sure!
In ireland we just call that figure of eight
That’s cool - I hadn’t heard that before...awesome. Cheers!
I hate this retrieve but I guess it works for some
It totally works - gives the fly a bit of action. Good stuff and thank you for watching!
That retrieve is called a 'figure of 8'
It’s also referred to as the ‘finger roll’ - Happy New Year to you!
I know this technique as the 'figure of 8"
🤣🤣🤣🎣
Woohoo!! :))
What’s the reel you’re using?!
Orvis Battenkill large arbor - 25 years old :))
What rod are you using?
I was using my Sage TCR on this video, 5 weight
Almost figure of 8ing.
Indeed! I've always called it the 'finger roll'...but I have heard figure '8' often as well. Thanks for watching - Cheers!
I've been trying this lately, it requires a level of dexterity not to tie your fingers together 😂
I'm sorry that trout interrupted your tutorial, Dan!
I certainly don't mind that type of interruption! :))
That's called stitching in bass fishing
It's called a figure of eight
It's also called the 'finger roll' - tomato tomahto :)) Cheers!
No offense but Joe Humphries was using that retrieve clear back decades ago when he was teaching flyfishing classes at Penn State. If you want to learn almost anything about flyfishing check out Joe's videos. He is deceased but flyfished into his 90's. He taught many dignitaries how to flyfish including President Jimmy Carter
That’s very cool - I’ll have to check those videos out! Thanks for sharing and cheers!
Joe is not deceased. Geez.
@@Troutbitten you are correct. My brain was in the cloud some where. Don't know what I was thinking. He is by far the man responsible for teaching me how to flyfish. Ty for correcting my stupidity.
Fig of 8 retrieve 🤦♂️🤷🏻♂️
Yes sir!
Really? Pfft
totally...
