Good job! Once you catch a fish on a fly your hooked. My first experience was awesome, I bought two fenwick fly rods at a little country store for eight dollars each, went to the stream but had no fly's. So I stripped a string from my black sweat shirt tied it to a hook and thru it in. Caught my limit in fifteen minutes, I was hooked. That was in 1963 been a scientific angler ever since. Frank from Oregon.
I just bought a starter fly rod and gear from dicks sporting goods. I can fish anyother rod. And reels. But this is something I wanted to try. And haven't gone yet. I'm nervous. Bc I live in South Carolina and I don't have a clue where I could fish the darn thing

Any tips for starting out(
old boi
Well thank you. I actually been using nore then my other rods. Having a blast.
This was wonderful.
As someone who has flyfished for over 40 years in both salt and fresh water....this video was so refreshing and took me back to when I was first wading around not knowing what I was doing, losing flies in bushes, trees, flaying around, stomping up banks etc. Just great
Well said Ralph. I've been fly fishing for over 25 years and I'll never forget the first fish I ever caught on a fly. I gotta admit, this kid looked a lot better than I did my first time with a fly rod.
I’m learning to fly fish and this video gives me hope! I was skunked my first outing. When he gets a fish on is it normal to pull the line in with your hands rather then reeling?
Dylan Olson honestly you can do either one but I prefer to tug on the line when a fish bites then I let it run off with it and tire itself out then I reel in. I rather do it this way so my line doesn’t tangle on something, but whatever works best for you!
Any recommendations for a large mouth bass set up?
@@Alexander6749 This really depends on where, geographically, and what bodies of water you like to fish. If you're in the north where fish tend to be smaller, a 9' 6 weight outfit is likely fine in waters without much vegetation though a 7 weight will help cast larger flies for largemouth (size up if in the south). I'd recommend a floating line and an appropriately sized leader for fish in your area. Also, get a sinking leader for those cases when you need to your fly line down into the water column.
Plenty more in this discussion, including fly selection, but I'd recommend chatting with a local shop - they should be able to provide the best advice.
"Please don't come off"! I wish I had a dime for every time I've said that. I could pay for my fly fishing addiction! Great job!
Jackie Daugherty right?
I could have bought a new play station
@@supremekillzz3113 why buy a playstation when you could fish all day?
@@spadeontwitter5495 true
and from this we learn to always bring a net when fly fishing
I never bring a net fly fishing to much to carry but I guess that’s the difference between a river angler and a saltwater fly fisher
Like to catch a 10lber
I wasn’t on a fly rod but about 2 to 3 years ago I was at our local sports mans and I only caught 2 fish in about 2 hours and I decided to go over on a steep part on a hard to get to area I had on a bobber and your regular red worm I look away for literally 3 seconds to see what my parents were doing and I look back and my bobbers gone so I look for a second to make sure then yanked I thought I hooked jaws I reeled in a 26 inch trout but sadly I didn’t get to weigh it but if I had to guess I would say it was between 4 and 6 pounds
I would probably catch a negative 10lbs fish
If your looking for ten pound trout about the only place I've heard of one is in the pond oreille river in northern Idaho. Keep your butt dry!
Glad you had fun! You can also fly fish for Bluegill, Crappie, Bass, pretty much any fish that live in 2-4 foot deep water. The reel can be used to reel in the fish, but you can do what you were doing. There are different lines (Sink tip, Intermediate sink, and full sink ) to go deeper. If you are going to have more fun than this, check with your doctor first!
"Oh Yes" - Random Flyfisherman
NorthernFire greatest quote on RUclips, so great some Chinese lady has a rib tat of it.
Oh yes
-random flyfisherman
Oh yes oh yes
There's fish over there and over here.
I actually say this every time I hook up now lol
Oh yes
First of all you filmed an event. It was quite good and you were a humble fly fisherman, don't ever change from that. I'm sure you have advanced much from this experience . You performed exceptionally well and your control of the rod/ line really floored me. Well done and thanks for the video, your the guy we would all be proud to fish with. And lastly, your hooked.
Hey man I fly fish all the time. your doing everything perfect but one tip is when you have a fish on you use the reel. its not good if you line real it cause it can get tangled easily. great job though hope your having fun
I was gonna say the same
Just learned this not too long ago.
Mmmmm. It depends. On a super small fish it's better to strip it in. On a larger fish it's necessary to let the reel do the work because most the time that fish will take some line.
You give me so much hope man. I just ordered my first fly rod today. Wish me luck!
Well, how’s that fly rod treating you?
@@rtfan1236 haha thanks for checking up brother. And I did pretty decent in the season. I think I need to stick to a spinning rod though. Too many trees in nj 🤣
Well done! I think alot of people would like to fly fish, but don't because there's so much more to it than spincasting... It can get overwhelming. Its nice to show folks that you can just sorta stumble through the learning process. Thanks!
Try fly fishing for smallmouth bass. They feel like a million pounds on a fly rod. It’s awesome
Even with a light spinning set feels like you got snagged, little monsters.
6wt 9 ft. Caught smallies I couldn't even feel it bite, no visual of it getting hooked. Went to recast little bastard almost went flying. Lol
@@venp4353 oh man ive had a similar thing happen to me, your comment made me laugh
@@venp4353 Can you even catch bass on a 5wt?
Remove the plastic wrap from the grip. If you leave it on it the cork beneath may rot. Also cork is better in your hands than pastic.
I’ll just add that unless you’re casting, you always have the line between your finger(s) and the cork. When stripping the fish in, strip behind your rod hand, so you always know where the line is and you don’t introduce slack.
This was such a fun video to watch! Your excitement was infectious!
Well done!👍🙂👊🏼✊🏼
good advice! im just learning too
Sees fly Fisherman
HEY THIS IS MY FIRST TIME FLY FISHING
Me
all the fly Fishermen: "Hol..d my beer spunky.. let me show this noob how this is done." *triple mocha backflip cast jutsu*
Wholesome
The whole time I was screaming “ TIP UP, TIP UP”
ME TOO lol
so what is that referring to?
@@Twinkyboy when you're pulling him in to keep the tension
Great minds think alike lol
That's what my wife tells me
“I was trying to be quiet so the other fisherman wouldn’t come running I’ve” 💀😂
Yet he walks right up to others fishing and bothers them lol
I know this video is old and nobody will see this, but I will say. I’m glad I got to see your video and your first fish. I just started 2 months ago and I swear I haven’t used a spin or bait caster since. I’m so intrigued and the excited and fight is so different. Watching you catch that first fish off it and your reaction just sent me 2 months back. I haven’t watched another of your video. But I bet you have plenty of fly fishing now! I can’t stop it. I even started tying my own flies. It’s such a lifestyle to began having. I love fishing. I love fly fishing. I love the community and how the old timers are actually willing to help. They don’t see that younger generation out there much anymore.
flyfishing is highly addictive. Nice to see You had a great introduction to the game. Just keep talking to the experienced guys and learn from them
Just found this video of yours. Bought my first fly rod today and will be going out to the Bahamas this week to fly fish for Bonefish. Excited to try it out for the first time! Hopefully I have as good as luck as you did!
steveo1kinevo WHOA! Steveo, I did not expect you to be here lol. Love your vids. :)
Took me two years to catch a fish on the fly and my with my first one I lost it lol
How was the bonefish trip. I just bought my first fly rod today, hoping to use it this weekend.
YO STEVO!!
AHHHH! Another spin/bait caster comes over to the "Dark Side" (LOL)
Dude, take the cellophane off the cork! Nice fish!
Haha my buddy bought that same cabellas set and never took the wrap off the cork. First thing I noticed.
One does not remove it before the first fish is caught
Do you have better luck if you remove the cellophane?
Vlad the Impaler you have a better grip...
wallpaperkilla gotcha, that makes sense!
Very impressive catching a fish on a nymph without an indicator on your first day fly fishing. Well done!
My old man just gave me a thirty-year-old fly rod he bought with Marlboro miles. Never been used still in the case and I've yet to go out and try it but you give me a little inspiration thanks buddy
You know you're old when you know what Marlboro miles are. I haven't heard about that in a long time.
" i am addicted now" yep... usually how it goes, i think its a mix of fishing with the river's flow, picking the right lure, the techniques used for different lures for different parts of the water column, and then the rather active casting. also the fish are always beautiful to just look at.
Great job in catching a fish your first time out. Well done. You did much better than I did my first time. One bit of advise, when you are walking through the woods with your flyrod hold your flyrod behind you. It is very easy to break off the tip of the rod the way that you are carrying it through the woods. I always carry my backwards, or break it down and carry it in small pieces. You do not want to lead with the weakest point of your rod which is your tip.
Awesome video and it takes me back to the first days I tried. Excellent work exploring too. You did much better than I did with my first fish on a fly rod - which was a sunfish I caught as I dragged my line across the water's surface en route to my next casting position. As with anything worthwhile, it's just about putting the time in and making observations for improvement.
For those considering flyfishing, a few tips from this video (only wish to help others' success by relaying a few tips that I've learned through the years vs. being critical).
* when lining your rod, it is easier to double over your fly line (plastic coated line) vs. pulling on a fine leader. Once you get the fly line out of the top line, place the line on waters surface and lightly wave it back and forth to pull out additional fly line.
* for this sort of fishing with tight banks and obstacles behind you, learn how to roll cast. The basics is letting line out, bringing your rod to your side and slightly behind you to form a D shape in the line and stop. Next, cast forward until your elbow is at about a 45% angle and come to an abrupt stop. The surface tension on the line coupled with flex of rod will generate power to cast it forward.
* always maintain two points of control on the line - this is particularly important when the fly is presented (lands on water) as a strike can happen quickly
* some flies are meant to just sit on water, some are meant to be retrieved - such as that wooly bugger - notice he got the action when retrieving the line
* when retrieving line, pull from behind your rod hand (one holding the rod), with a finger of the rod hand loosely holding it against the rod handle - this is important to be able to set the hook quickly when a strike occurs
* Plenty of others but learning on your own is part of the fun - so my last tip would be exactly that, have fun
Your index finger on your rod hand will ALWAYS have the line under it, controlling the pressure you keep on the fish. You were letting go with your right finger and pulling back on the line with your left and creating slack. The right finger will always be the finger that acts as your "drag." When you need to strip in line as the fish runs to you, strip with the left hand as you were but always keep it under control with your right finger at the same time. Nice work, I love fly fishing and now I am getting into spin fishing (I know I did it backwards) and watching a bunch of your videos, nice work fly fishing is quite exciting when you understand the casts better and in certain applications performs better than a spin or baitcaster. All the best!
Also when your striping line in, try to use your right index finger as a sort of guide for the line and release pressure with it when you want to strip and then press your finger to the cork when your not striping, i find it alot easier to do it that way than with all my fingers.
WestCoastOutdoorsBoy 8
you are not supposed to reel the line in with the reel?
Francois Dupont no, on a fly rod the reel is kind of a place just to store your line than it is to reel in the fish. Obviously there are those few occasions you reel the fish in with it but majority of the time you’re stripping in line manually
Francois Dupont You can use the reel to fight the fish. Keep the line tight with your casting hand and spin the spool to take up any slack, then retrieve the fish with the reel. The drag will only come into play if it’s a fish that’s over four or five pounds, otherwise it’s just less hassle to strip them in. The dude in the video needs to strip from below his right hand were he needs to keep the line anchored with his right index finger.
The first time or the 1500th time the magic is still there being connected to something so alive and so beautiful.
With the reel your can either hand line it in or you can reel it, whatever works best for you. Have fun with fly fishing your going to love it. Please make more fly fishing vids.
dane Anderson personally I only reel in fish when they're big.
dane Anderson I was wondering why he wasn’t reeling
Tips? I have a few that ive learned over the years.
1.) The "Roll cast" is your best friend. Learn it and youll have a much better time. Especially if you start fishing smaller streams with overhead trees.
2.) Most fly patterns are deaigned to catch anglers, not fish. Dont obsess over them too much. Pick a few patterns that you like, build a good "working box" with extras. Trees still eat mine from time to time.
3.) Kind of plays into #2, but presentation (of your fly) is far more important than the pattern in almost all cases. Get sneaky, get tactical, and fish with a game plan for the water you're on. Looks like you were using a Hares ear nymph, keep fishing those! Theyll be your confidence pattern. Fishing a fly (or pair of flies) that you have faith in will make you fish more methodically and youll pay more attention and focus, and that equals more fish.
4.) Have fun! And good luck!
Its' even more fun when you catch one with a fly that you tied yourself!
Fly tying is the yin of the fly fishing yang.
About to start getting into fly tying, any tips would be great
Small tip...once you hook a sizable one, first, keep your tip up (shock absorber for thin tippet) second, strip to keep the fish under tension, then reel up the slack and fight off the reel, using reel’s drag....awesome vid...welcome to the “club” .....
That was inspiring! I’ve fly fished for bluegills in lakes for years, and this year I’ve decide to try stream fishing for whatever I can get. This video now has me itching to get out there
I was very impressed, of course there is always room for improvement but as you said " you gotta start somewhere ". I have been fly fishing for over 20 years but I still remember my first time ;) ;) I found the most remote place possible to practice until I felt I was good enough to fish in front of others, never mind filming myself and then showing it to thousands! Just remember to let the line unfurl behind you before bringing it forwards again. Also a trick I use is to pretend as if there is a brick wall behind you that you don't want to smack your hand and rod into, use this "brick wall" as a reference point to stop your back swing at the right time. Something else I did when I first started fly fishing that really helped me, I went in my backyard with my fly rod put together and I swung that thing above my head like a streamer! I know this might sound silly but try it, you will see how the line follows the rod tip anywhere it goes, it will help you understand the timing of your swing as well, you will also learn about finesse from this as well as the importance of a tight loop or "sexy loop" as I like to call it, plus it's fun.... Anyways, you really did do great for your first time, hope anything I said can help you!
"Oh yes"
this video inspired me to get a fly fishing combo . gonna try it out this weekend so excited!
BLifted 604 i know this is an old comment but how did it go?
A year later how u doing
Almost a year later
how did it go?
If you're wading, it's good etiquette to leave the water when you're approaching other anglers. You did great for your first time fly fishing, and fought the fish very well (I'd recommend smashing the barbs down on all flies, and holding the fly line that's in your rod hand under one finger instead of all of them, it gives you more control so you can let the fish run if necessary). Orvis has put out a lot of good videos on fly fishing for beginners, they helped me a lot when I first started, and I still go back and watch them from time to time. Good luck out there, and tight lines!
Arizona Fly Rodder I accidently needed to take a rainbow last time i flyfished because of a deep hooking, and the barb didn’t made it easier. I was already on my limit, so that was a mistake. But I learned my lesson and now I’ll bring some barbless flies with me:)!
Having been hooked with a barbed hook, I only fish barbless.
vibratingstring well, that lake didn’t have that rule and I thought fishing was to fun at the moment to not continue fishing:)!
vibratingstring yeah. I totally get that. I was fishing with the warden though and explained the situation. But I know what you mean. The ”it was going to die” argument would unfortunately be missused. Even though the fish is half dead you need to throw it back by rules or risk paying much money for taking to much fish. But the rules are important and in my opinion well working:)!
Benjamin S wow. Here in Colorado if you are at your limit and get caught continuing to fish, you still get a large fine.
Beautiful first fish! Thanks for sharing.
Nice, greetings from Ireland. Its never to late to start with fly fishing.
I hope not I just started playing with a fly rod at 53 lol Tight lines
@@williamrobbins2939 yeup. I'm 51 years young. Been fishing well over 40 years but got my first fly set up a few days ago. Love it so far.
Well done! Another new fly fisher hooked on fly fishing. I know this was taken 5 years ago and you are probably a master at it now. Since your video is still up and running it will attract a lot of new people to fly fishing so if I can just add my 2 cents in to help the new fly guys & girls.
1/ When setting up your rod, even though your leader is tied on to your fly line, hold the end of your actual fly line to feed through the eyes of the rod. Whatever you do, don't lace your leader first and try pulling your fly line through the top eyes of the rod. I have seen many people break the tip of their rod simply by doing that.
2/ Your first cast is always hard if there is nobody there to help you. Since there is no weight added to your line, the only thing to load your rod (bend your rod like a bow) is the weight of your fly line so you need to have about 20 feet of fly line (Not including your leader) out from the tip of your rod to get the bend in the rod necessary to make a good long cast.
3/ After you cast and start retrieving your line, hold your rod in your right hand (if right handed) and start to draw the line back using your left hand. Make sure your left hand is pulling the line from behind your right hand and not in front. This will give you better line control and when you get a bite, you can lock the line down using your index finger on your right hand immediately to set the hook. This also keeps your line tight from the rod to the fish.
4/ If possible, always try to use your reel to reel in your fish. Pulling the line is fine with smaller fish, or if a larger fish starts swimming toward you. This way you are always keeping the fish on a tight line. When possible, pinching the line against the rod with your right index finger (Or 2nd finger) start reeling in the slack line as quickly as possible. If the fish starts swimming toward you again, pull the line with your left hand to keep it tight.
5/ Thanks for sharing this experience with all fishermen/women. I could feel your excitement.
Come for a trip to Norway! Especially a town called Lillehammer, we had the Olympic games in 1994. We also have one of the best trout population in world! The average weight here is ca 2-3 kg or 4-6 pounds. The record is 21 kg. But it was a while ago... It's not unnormal to get routs over 5 kg og 10 pounds!
Or 1-3 kg
And this is not stocked!
wow! that is nice! i guess the norway is heaven for Trout then ^_^
HansNorth Outdoors depends on where you fish in Norway.
HansNorth Outdoors omg that’s Awesome
Tip: Always get the flyline on the reel so that you can get more pressure on the fish.
I always play the fish line in hands , personally I like the feel of the fight through rod and line without any mechanical interference . I feel it adds to the purity of the fly fishing method .
I always flatten the barb on my flys, as I return most of the fish I catch
When fighting a big, stubborn fish, recover the line quickly by pumping. Pull the fish toward you by lifting the rod, and then lower the rod while simultaneously reeling in the slack line. Repeat this motion to keep the fish moving toward you.
I fly fish a lot for trout it's my favorite So far fly fishing for trout is my favorite.One thing you need to do is don't fight them like bass.😂😂Let the trout tire them self out then they are easier to bring in and handle. Especially with bigger fish.
If you tire the trout they may not survive when you release them, reel them in fast, take off the hook and let them go.
Adelino de Almeida lol you don't reel them in fast you take your time and let the fish fight I guess you don't know any thing about fly fishing for trout 😂😂
@@blakepirimona7826 you bring them in as quick as you can. If you are using light line it will take longer. Its that Simple. You want the fish as green as possible before release.
Tips for fishing. When a fish hits your fly, have your left hand on the line and the right on the rod, pull out with your left hand and up with your right. Put your line under the right pointer finger to keep the line tight and reel as fast as you can, then treat it as you are lake fishing on a spinner. Pretty easy but nice you get the hang of it
Pull the fish in like you’ve been doing, the reel is reserved to reel up extra line or for larger fish. You did well for a first timer!
Matthew Abramo so I learned wrong? I learned to let the fish fight if it was bigger
Kile Olin It really comes down to preference. I’ve noticed many others including myself that only use the reel to spool line. Fly fishing is adaptive, so you have to do what works for you.
i always just use my hand even with bigger fish. but yeah do what works for you
You did a good job for your first attempt. I love your excitement about fishing. I am a Trout fisherman, and yes you got good advice from the other fishermen. Dawn and Sunset are the best times. Trout don't' like the heat of the day. They go deep to stay cool. Good video, I enjoyed...Good Luck keep fishing....
Good inspiration for first time fly fishermen. One interesting line.."I'll show you what I'm using...I don't know what it is called".
Stumbled across your channel a few days ago, and to be brutally honest, I wasn't fond of you at all, but after watching a few of your vids, you have grown on me massively. The fact that you always seem to be trying new things and showing them publicly is amazing. You're a breath of fresh air and its great to see. So from the UK... keep fishing pal. Big thumbs up.
Love this I just started fly fishing myself and ran across this. This is exactly how I feel standing out on a stream by myself like a dummy with no clue what I'm doing, haha.
I just started fly fishing last year and I’m getting the hang of it but these r some tips I’ve found out- always have a net on you bc u never know- de barb your hooks because it makes the fight better it makes it easier for the hook to come out and it’s healthier for the fish- have some sort of pliers on you because sometimes the trout swallow the fly- when your using a wooly bugger it’s a streamer so you have to strip it in and cast it again. When you cast it strip and little strip a little and do that until you get to the leader
You gotta set the hook right away on any tap or hit. Usually if you “let them eat it” they’ll just spit it. A little bit different from bait fishing. Great video tho!
Been fishing in Texas for 50 years. Grew up fishing in the bay around Galveston. Been fly fishing around 15 yrs. I watch this and it immediately took me back to my first time. didn't catch a thing, but was hooked on the challenge. My daughter lives in Colorado, so I go at least 3 or so times a year. wait til you catch a 22 inch rainbow, then you will know what the reel is for. Awesome video!!!!! nice job! Hope you are still fly fishing!!
Here's a video we were waiting for!!
Just got into fishing a few months ago thanks to a close friend. Your vids are really inspiring. I know this is a old video but came across this one and the baitcaster one and it’s awesome how you just straight up gear up, try, and do. Awesome confidence!
Just some info: trout are very delicious
and some states have no size limit, just bag limit. even the small ones grill up nicely. (never fry rainbows. im sure its delicious, but it is an affront to the fishing gods to fry such perfect grilling meat. )
@@fakiirification small ones are great too, I've fried, grilled, boiled and cooked arctic char and trout in every way imaginable, and every size imaginable
Tying your own flies makes it even more fun and exciting! It can get expensive though.
This is probably my favorite fishing video ever.
The line, "This is a stick," made me laugh so hard I thought I was gonna pee myself.
Look up Phelps on the Fly, too. His videos are informative without being preachy.
It’s been a long time since you started so I’m sure you’ve improved, but this may help others. Pull line from underneath the rod hand when you’re reeling them in. That way you don’t have to release the line and try and grab it every time. Honestly though, you were doing great for a first time. My first fish on a fly rod was a 3in brim. 😂. Last week I caught an 8lb largemouth bass! As you learned, fly selection can be very important, so don’t be afraid to swap them out if you’re not having luck.
awesome job on the first fish with a fly rod dude!!
Yes, great job. Much better than the first time I went. Pretty impressive as a first time.
My first fish on my fly rod was a Brown about that size. He jumped 10 feet from me, and I dropped a dry fly in that spot. BAM! I was instantly hooked on fly fishing.
Well done!
Catch a fish on a fly pole is amazing but catching on a dry fly in life changing
Dries are nice and all, but a smash mid swing will stop your heart
Idk fly fishing has a lot of feelings like that, hooking a big brown on a big streamer is a hell of a thrill too.
Great job man! Stockers will literally bite anything. They’ve not been in the wild long enough to know the difference. Find a stream or river that’s not stocked and you’ll notice a difference. Def buy you a bigger assortment of flies also and have at least 3 of everything. These flies don’t last long at all til you either lose one or they come untangled. You did way better than me my first trip. And the reel is basically there to hold your line and backing. It also acts as a counterweight balance. Your backing is there in case you hook a monster and it runs and runs. Your fly line is only so long and your backing will allow the fish to run and you’ll still have line to let him run. Get you a few strike indicators also. Great video👍
Plz do more of fly fishing thats my opinion
that's not an opinion
I use a mixture of beer lemon pepper and honey
My first catch was when I put the fly on the water thinking about how to cast and a tiny trout took my fly, it was about 2 inches long....it took another 2 years before I caught another fish on my fly rode. This was an awesome video.
Can you please start to make more videos on fly fishing I also just started and you're videos are awsome
FirstStateFishing I love the idea that you started fly fishing. One of the MOST incorrect precessions about fly fishing is that is har to learn. Fly fishing is super easy compared to other types of fishing
bruh the cut in of the lamborghini guy "knowledge" had me rolling.
Fly fisherman are usually the nicest fisherman I know, much nicer than others. So you don't really need to be that quiet, they usually would not steal your spot.
First time or not, you caught fish. That's what matters, and the fun. Good stuff.
Loved your little first Fly Fishing video. As you say in your neck of the woods, Awesome. I haven't fished in over 40 years. I'm an old git now but went out with a rod and a dog today in the rain. I caught a rock, my dog and myself then came home. Wished I'd recorded my daft little outing. Thanks for sharing young fella. Enjoyed it big time!
In my favour , I have to say that I landed the rock and without a net.
You can real in both ways it’s what ever your comfortable with. But with the real when you hook the fish hold the string and real in the slack and then real in the fish.
Addicted Outdoors reel
Guy is trying to help out a fellow fisherman by giving him a tip and your criticizing his spelling of the word reel? GTFO grammar police
Nice insult there bud, what are you in the 8th grade? Wait do not answer that, you have already shown how immature you are by the use of the word "faggot" that being said i will respectfully decline your invitation to go f*** myself thanks.
notoriousL Pitiful, kid.
Zed Zul Zorander keep talking keyboard warrior. Nobody is listening.
Seriously a fun video! You were catching fish and taking care when handling them. So yeah. You did it right!
Bout timeeeeee
Just Another Croissant for reals bro
Your first fish looks to be a Rainbow Hen. Catch, kiss and release and make sure to pinch the barbs back on your hooks so as not to hurt the release any more than catching might..... enjoy, and you are blessed to have such a beautiful Trout Stream!!!
when youre using those nymphs set the hook (gently) as soon as you see the line move
Congrats man. There isn't another feeling like catching your first fish on a fly. Only thing I recommend is to pinch off the barbs!! Good luck and happy fishing!!
I've been debating taking fly fishing up. After watching this the debate is over, I'm ordering my kit off Amazon right now. Great vid.
Nice job young feller! Generally saying the reel is used for reeling in your line, you strip line off the reel with one hand and use other hand for drag. Lots of how to on here, mad river outfitters has great ones on how to etc.
For your first time you were casting ok 👍🏻
Looms like you practiced some roll casts in the back yard
I recently started fly fishing too, its sooo addictive....
I think I’m going to try fly fishing because of you😀
Mitchell Sechrest it’s so fun
Mitchell Sechrest ,...llokoikk
Mitchell Sechrest funniest way you can troutfish!
Same I really want to now
I haven't fished in years but your making me itchy to get back into it.bro. love your energy! Keep being you my dude big ups from Hawaii on the island of oahu!!!! Aloha!
I love it !! Simply go to Cabelas take the plunge and buy a simple combo and without knowledge just go and do your thing, Congratulations !! I see so many first time "purist" with 1000's of dollars worth of equipment out there just bumbling around worrying more about there"look" than the actual fishing part of the experience
Hahaha they come to my town every year to fish the river for salmon with like 5gs in gear and are just useless and ignorant
This was a great beginners video. I am one myself, having only casted on water a few times .Thanks for the show.
“This is a uh.. I have no idea” 😂😂 this is how I’m feeling. Just got my setup yesterday. Merry Christmas everyone!
Always catch and release to maintain the fish populations, so good work for releasing. This is also an excellent sportsman's approach to fly fishing. Thank you for sharing your story.
You should have some slack line when throwing the lure/bait out, next time you go fly fishing bring a small net and it really doesn't matter if you reel the fish in, I like to grab the line and just keep pulling the line in like how you did. Love your work and channel keep it up
3CH0 I only use the reel when I hook something big.
Awesome man! Make sure you take the plastic wrap off the cork handle, it is just for shipping purposes. the cork will mold real quick if water gets between the plastic wrap and cork! Cork is for a nice comfy grip :)
Are you still gonna be making the budget fishing challenges? I really enjoy watching them.
Very entertaining. Today I went fly fishing for the 1st time in a small creek by my house. Besides all the 'gills and crappie, I caught a 17 1/2" bass! Yea, I'm hooked. I'll be packing it along with me next visit to our daughter's in Montana.
“Oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes”
Dude awesome job for your first time! Better than my fist day out. One thing that may help you in addition to what others have said, on your back cast, don't come much past vertical (12 o'clock) or 1 o'clock. This will "load" your rod tip with the weight of the float line, and allow for less false casting. (As this can scare fish). A loaded rod tip will increase line speed on your forecast and "shoot line". It really is an art. A very addicting art. Great video dude. Keep em coming!
Nice going man! That casting improved dramatically throughout the vid. And those trout looked amazing! You’ll only get better as the season goes on. 👍🏽🍻
The casting motion has often been described as a "Start SLOW...Speed Up and Stop" ...on the backcast(stripping some line in..then LIFT it into the backcast). As you begin a forward cast....DON'T LET the HEIGHT of YOUR ELBOW DROP!!! (as you were doing). Keep your wrist somewhat firm, using just your forearm to do the casting....keep the rod moving back and forward in more or less a straight line.. Your casts looked GOOD! You didn't have much room for a backcast but you did a good job. The #1 GREAT thing you were doing was that you were making your backcast and (especially) FORWARD cast without breaking your wrist much!
Just reel the fish in only when they are big
I guess you could say I’m hooked
