    Just wanted to share some advice I picked up from a guide that really made my mending more effective. "It's ok if your mend ruins your drift for a foot or two if it means it will be natural for the remaining 90% of the drift." For whatever reason I had always obsessed over trying to make the enitre drift perfect. And more often than not, that usually meant my drift fell apart halfway through cause I hadn't mended enough early on. But just doing it right in that first few feet so everything is setup for the rest of the drift means more often than not that you're drag free for the majority of the drift. It's simple advice but something I think many of us struggle with.

    Ben, the opening to this video shows that you have learned what I came to realize years ago. It's ridiculous that people get excited about a "6 pack" when some of us are gifted with an entire keg. Confession, I am worse at mending than you are at push poling.

    What he doesn't know is that I only target the trout that take dragging flies. Real men enjoy challenges.

  • @Abraham_Justice
    @Abraham_Justice 3 года назад

    What does he mean by drag and what does he mean by drift? I feel like the fly is always being dragged, whether by the current or by the line. Like we say people get dragged away by the current we don't say they get drifted away. Does drift mean being dragged by the current and not the fly line? I was never very good at context clues...

    • @HugeFlyFisherman
      @HugeFlyFisherman  3 года назад +2

      Drift is floating the same speed as the current. Drag is when your fly is going a different speed from the current. Trout like it when flies are drifting naturally.

      Nets are important for proper fish handling during catch & release fishing. Gives you somewhere to let the fish rest while you replace your midge nymph with some double articulated meat or a dry fly for your glory shot that's gonna get 8 likes on Instagram
