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!!!
Love the intro and your reasons for wanting viewer engagement 👌 and definitely the best mask I’ve seen so far. “I believe!”
Thank you! I appreciate the comments Joel!
Finally a good video with real knowledge
Thanks - I appreciate that :))
I use Redington. Had them for quite a few years. They do not leak and they have a zipper so I can take care of business without disrobing. That is the main reason I bought them. At the time the only other waders with a zipper were Cabela's 5mm neoprene.
Zipper seemingly does make it more convenient - I should have considered that before I bought my Simms G4. At the time - I didn’t trust the zipper for being leak proof.
Great vid. Just bought the G3 guide. On trip so far they are solid! And ya gotta love the Puget sound fly shop!
Thanks! Really a great shop indeed. Thanks for watching!
Great shop Dan!
Agreed!
Love your videos Dan, fish on baby!
Thanks! FISH-ON indeed!! :))
Thanks for the review on waders. Just purchased the Simms Freestone waders hanging on the left a few months ago. They are awesome! 👍👍 In Texas I’ll only need them a few months out of the year..but when we had the ice storm this year..I was fishing (with fleece under layer) for many hours at a time. Highly recommend! Have a great weekend Dan..hope you get some Fish On! 🎣👌
You are most welcome! I am glad you found this helpful - I wish I only needed waders a few months of the year! So cold ALL the time in Washington. Fish-on indeed! Cheers!
Used Redington Brand for years,last September 2021 upgraded to Simms Freestone Waders & Redingtons were good but man,what a difference regret not doing it sooner,so comfortable,great fit & nothing but positive on these waders,if you are interested in waders,step up don't go cheap,it will make a day on the water much,much more enjoyable 👍
Well said David - I too took some time to discover the same. My Simms waders are comfortable and tough as nails - I put them to the test these past two years and they are going strong!
I'm all in! Here comes the Sping!! You can never have enough gear......Imagine how the gals feel in they have to "take care of business".....
Awesome - taking care of business is always a huge pain when all the gear is on - don't like it one bit! :)) Cheers!
Love Puget Sound Fly Co and your excellent videos!
Many thanks!
When you coming up north, ie Canada??
Good video! Just subscribed!
Thanks! Good to have you here :)). Cheers!
Cool fly shop
Very cool place indeed - cheers!
I have heard there are some shortages on waders this year. Do you know if all brands are affected and what the lead time is for common sizes?
The US brands haven’t been effected as much - Simms (made in Bozeman MT) are still readily available. He had several various sizes in stock.
@@FlyFishDan That's good news. My original Simms Guide waders (purchased in 1994) finally starting leaking last season. I have patched them the best I can but it is time for a new set. Hope I can get another 25 seasons out of the next pair!
@@jlokanis wow - that would be something else! Testament to the quality of Simms for sure. Cheers!
I am just thinking about getting in the water and fly fishing because in New Hampshire there are several water ways that only allow fly fishing. Your description "Getting Started..." was sort of informative and hooked by but is way out of my investment range considering I haven't even picked up any gear yet. Might want to changed the title.
Good point Bill - thanks for the thoughtful input, I do appreciate it! Cheers!
What size of waders do U wear? I’m 5’11 12,5st , wud size large do me
I am 6'7"...so I go with the XL's...Simms run pretty tall which is nice. You could probably comfortably wear a 'L'. Hope that helps!
very helpfull
Glad you think so!
What is the name of that rod holder you use on your belt? Thanks
That is the O'Pros rod holder - I have a link in the description. Cheers!
What exactly are the waders that are 3rd from the left?
Those are the Simms waders G3 series. Hope that helps! Cheers!
Sorry! From the left - those are the Simms 'guide' waders. The one's with the front webbing.
Flyweight Simms
Great clothes for fishing like sweaters
Yes they are!
Let’s not act like simms waders won’t leak. I’ve had two sets that leaked after one season of use in each of them. For all the talk about them I was very dissatisfied. They are comfortable but all waders will leak
Thanks Alan - I have been pretty fortunate with my Simms so far. Beat them to death too...but always keep them hanging in the garage and dried out. Even bush whacked recently through sticks and stickers and no leaks. Two years and still going strong. Cheers!
$750 holy crap. Do the waders also land the trout for me as well? For that price point, they better be doing more than keeping the water out!
Lol - they are expensive for sure. I used to buy the more budget waders until I finally got tired of fighting the leaks. My new Simms have been bullet proof - tons of fishing, one full year, no problems at all. Thanks for watching!
@@FlyFishDan yeah, I am sure I will inevitably bend over and hand out even more cash once it's starts getting too cold this fall to wet wade lol.
@@minicopilot1 none - so far ;))
Cool shop. But you shouldn’t start out with mega $ waders until you’re committed to doing a lot of fly fishing. Those waders are not for newbies to our sport. The Simms G series & the Patagonias are for guides & very seasoned fly fishermen.
I have since found another brand, family owned, top quality and an affordable price. DRYFT
Go fishing
Oh I did just that!
You gotta put a gun up to my head if you think I’m spending over $500 on waders
Check out DRYFT - soon I can help you save money on this amazing wader. Stay tuned!
Why are you wearing a mask?
This was back in the mandatory COVID masking days. Glad that’s over!
Couldn’t watch. Stupid mask muffled audio
Yeah - happy those days are over!
