i'd love to see some discussion on your chest packs/lumbar packs, and how you guys organize your gear. i'm struggling to find a balance of accessibility to the fly boxes and gear i want, balance & comfort, and not obstructing my view when hiking and wading. i've tried vests, chest packs, sling packs, and lumbar/waist packs, all of them have pros/cons.
I'm running a sling bag and it seems good for me. I know the rivers here, so I don't bring a tackle store of gear with me. When I hit the Provo or Weber, I only have a couple pockets with gear.
Looks like tenkara a bit with the cast and tight line which always bugged me about it. When I lived in MT I did this a few times. No doubt, it works. But I love fly fishing for the casting. When it is cold, I much prefer spey casting and swinging then euro nymphing. But different strokes for different folks. I'm sure most think sustained anchor casting is silly.
@@FlyFishFood sure. But I think at some point how you catch them is more important. I'm reminded of a famous angler saying a fish caught on the swing is like shaking hands with God. I'm not that outlandish, but I'll take one on the swing over twenty on a euro rig. Of course, I live in salmon and steelhead country again, so I'm biased. But even on the MO and such, I like swinging way more than nymphing. Just one person's perspective. Oh, and this type of fishing does remind me of tenkara! :)
Christopher Orman fair enough. Everybody has their own way of fishing. We fish lots of dries and streamers, and this is a super fun and technical way to target fish as well.
Christopher Orman honest question. Why would a tight line (which really shouldn’t be that tight) bother you when nymphing, but not bother you when swinging. Swinging is definitely a tighter line. I’m not saying you have to fish any way you don’t want to, but I don’t see the logic here?
@@Lanceeganflyfishing apple's and oranges. On the swing, as far as the streamers uses, sink tips, etc is a totally different technique. You use Skagit or scandi heads to make long casts and cover lots of water. Fish take, usually on the dangle, and the pull and take is pretty special. Tight line nymphing, where you are flipping a leader out and staring at a sighter is in no way comparable. You then hook set once the sighter moves: indicator fishing. No comparison. In fact, I'm having a hard time understanding how they could be lumped together. I find nymphing boring is the point, that's what bothers me. I'd rather cast and cover water than flip a leader and indicator fish. Just like why I dont fish bobbers.
Zeroed in with Zeke no such thing. Why buy poor quality hooks when they are your connection to the fish. You spend hundreds on gear, gas and time to be on the water, what’s a few extra cents per hook?
Well, I’m a teen who has only a few dollars and like to fly fish. The best fly rod I have used was 150 dollars, and was just as good as the 900 dollar sage rod our friend had. I wanted to know if there were and hooks like that. I knew that Allen made some nice hooks. Wandered if there were any more brands like them.
Zeroed in with Zeke I hear you, and was a poor 19 YO once too. Now I’m a poor 40 year old. 😳 I understand where you’re coming from, but the difference in spending $150 and $900 on a rod isn’t the same as .17 cents vs. .23 cents per hook. I’d hate to see you put money into a product that will fail you. Buy the best hooks you can and go from there.

I seriously envy your skill level...I am lucky to catch 1 fish an hour on the provo the last 2-3 months....hurts my soul!!
Further evidence that trout aren’t just in deep slow pools
Eating only midges in winter !
Great stuff guys !! You’re
The pros !
Stranded in Oakland for 2 more months but seeing the "MID" through the camera lens brings me to my happy place
Thanks for making this video. Good for us fellows that love it and are learning.

Love the video! You guys are on top of fly fishing social media!
Thanks boss!
Looks like you guys had a great day out on the river. It was a cold week last week in Utah!
I dig how you have your net horizontally. Is it just a magnet one size, and a retractable zipper/zing on the handle?
Pretty much!
Am I the only one who thinks that Lance bears a striking resemblance to Scotty Smalls from The Sandlot? It must be the hat haha.
How much will it cost to hire lance as a guide
dag nabbit.... it's 2 am here, and now I gotta go break out the vise!
Lance, do you keep a spare rod in your backpack? If so, what are you using to fish and what do you use your spare for? Thanks, Barry
BSZach1 sometimes I keep a spare rod for dry fly fishing. I had a 9’ 3 weight in the backpack just in case risers showed up.
Which part of the provo is this?
What do you load your reel with? Ono or da ron?

Christopher Orman I think catching piles of fish is silly too!!!

Great video.
What type/model of chest/back rig is Mr. Lancer wearing.
Looks like an Umpqua Overlook 500 ZS

What reel does lance use on his cortland rod?
Nuckin' Futs he’s all about that Sage ESN.
Nuckin' Futs I’ve mostly used lamson speedsters and litespeeds on my euro setups. Size 2 or 3 depending on the rod.
Best cheap hooks for tying?

Thanks for you advice. I’ll try to save up some money.
Allen hooks are great! So are Dai-riki.
What state?
Utah
3:33 hold my beer lol..
Great video guys ,can Lance explain his euro casting or do i need to buy his video .anyways great to see you all out fishing
Buy the video, matter of fact buy both! It will be the best money you ever spend
@@Bearhawk_Life I agree.
Both videos are really well done!
Great video! Any chance of a perdigon tutorial for us newbies?
Lots on RUclips already. Devin Olsen did a tutorial on this same channel a few years ago.
Does this qualify as a Fly Fish Food business meeting?
Actually it does!!!
9:45 I feel like Curtis was about to say "The price he paid to get laid." >:}
In Italy this is called touch fishing, use the worm as bait
greetings giovanni
hardcore i am a fair weather fisher man my self
6X sucks. That's the truth and that is all.
Jeff Creamer ha ha. Especially if it’s old!!
