When fishing with the fly rod my friend . When you have a FISH ON.. use you right hand index finger to hold your line when you set the hook. Then when it’s hooked let’s go to get the line tight to the reel then start reeling while hover that index finger over the line as well holding the pole brother!! Just my tip I use when I go fly fishing. Maybe it should help
Dude davey gravy has come such a long way with being comfortable in front of the camera. It’s so fun seeing in get so excited in the videos and communicate with the audience!
@@fishingwithsmallsexcept Norm. Can you confirm or deny my theory that he forgot he's RUclips login. Or my other theory that he has a non compete with Googan and can't post for a certain amount of time? I really don't care either way because you three are hilarious. Also don't buy the time share.
so just a tip: when you are retrieving your fly. keep some of the line pinned in your casting hand. (I usually just pin it down with my pointer finger)and pull it in with your non casting hand. idk if that makes sense. but instead of reeling it in. you pull in your lure . then reel in if you catch a fish. it is tons of fun when you get the gang of it. dont give up on it yet. ive been fly fiahing since i was like 8. and it does get easier
This comment! I keep the float line pinned with my casting pointer finger, I also don’t use the reel unless I have a fish pull all of my loose line out and I control the drag with pressure from my reeling hand. I haven’t fly fished in a long time but I want to get back into it.
when casting stop the rod at 10 and 2 and pinch the line with your index finger on your rod hand to help with line control. bass fishing on the fly is a blast in fact anything caught on a fly rod is so much more enjoyable than regular tackle.
This. 👆the only thing I might add to this is don’t be so concererned about your reel. If you keep it pinched with your right index finger. The fish will run out to your reel. Or you’ll retrieve the fish by pulling the line behind your right index finger that’s so your progress is captured. Fly is so satisfying when you get a good hook set.
That was my thought but honestly never seen one grow to that size. So many cool fish down south. Mn boy myself so I just get tortured by shitty regs and weather
Love you boys trying out the fly rods. If you ever want to outfish anyone for anything (panfish, trout, bass in winter, etc) the most effective thing to do is fly fish with an indicator and a ‘balanced leech’ fly. Outfished my buddy for crappie by catching 23 fish while he only caught one trying different traditional crappie lures. I’ve also caught 5 pound largies on them in the winter, size 12 tiny little leeches.
Good job, those were sweet blowups on the frog! The biggest thing that will help now that you've got the casting down is using your index finger of your right hand to guide the line during the retrieve and if you get a bite use that finger to squeeze the line against the rod, modulating the pressure if you need to, like drag would. Then when you are bringing the fish in you pull line with the left hand then hold with the right finger to allow you to pull more line. Hope you get out again with the boys, I bet a striper on a fly rod would be crazy haha
You know it's going to be a good time when you have these three going fishing, congrats on getting Davey casting something besides a Zepco, he is the Legend. Congratulations Smalls on catching with a Fly Rod. 🎣
Will give some tips. Casting is something to watch some videos on. Mad River outfitters is the best option. For the fighting real quick tip is when your done casting put the line under your finger on your rod hand and pull the line in with your off hand.
Also google if there is a fly shop in your area and please make a video of going in there and getting the low down from some experts. Awesome collab to show off a local business
Buckle up everyone, Smalls is about to LEVEL UP this channel! This is single-handedly the best thing to hit the internet since the legendary "Charlie bit my finger". Get ready for greatness folks!
Yea yea my kinda of fishing…madness uncertainty and danger😂😂 love the vid and keep on fishing my mans, it’s happening for ya and we are all here for the ride👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What's up guys I have to say the three guys in this video are by far my favorite RUclips fishing group. Yalls videos really make my days so so much brighter any time y'all feel like coming to good old Tennessee middle Tennessee to be exact I'd love to show y'all a few places to catch the fat Sally's it would be cool as crap to fish with either one of y'all mainly Davey lol thanks for doing everything yall do keep it up
This was hard to watch, but also the best thing to see. Seems like you guys had a blast. Fly fishing and fly tying are so fun. Catching a 10lb carp on a rod made for trout no more than 18" is unreal. Catching fish with your creations is twice as satisfying. Being able to customize baits to the finest details is game-changing. And flies produce insane numbers of fish. I want you guys to experience that. Tenkara is easy, effective, versitile, and you can fish a lot like you would with conventional gear. Streamers, poppers, jigs. The presentation is super subtle. Belgian cast and bow-and-arrow are the only casts you really need, and you can learn them in 10 seconds. Fly casting isn't any harder than casting a baitcaster, and tenkara is easier than either. Good entry point to fly fishing. Sorry for the book, thanks for the video, and I hope this helps someone. High quality, low budget recommendations below. Angler Dream 12ft tenkara rod $60, size 3.5 level line(years worth) $17, 5x tippet $7-$15, foam line holder $1.50 Maxcatch 1wt-4wt $60-70, Angler Dream fly reel $30 preloaded. Bass Pro Shop sells a St Croix Mojo Bass 9wt fly rod/reel combo for $270
Make sure your line is running out of the front of the reel up by the rod. It looks like you and Gravy had your line coming from the bottom behind that metal cage.
Awesome video SMALLS. As you strip you line in hold line with your pointer finger and use it like a brake but the line you strip in just lays on ground The fish you didn’t know was a Golden shiner aka( Bass candy). Always a great time and a lot of fun when Smalls, Davey and Ayo get together. Yall stay safe and Smalls keep doing what you do. Keep’em coming
@@fishingwithsmalls You did really good for being your first fly fishing. It does take some time to get use to it but it is a lot of fun I like catching crappie on fly rod I use just a small hook and a jig skirt. I made some flies out of yarn made some out of deer hair too . Tying your own flies and then catching a fish on it is a great feeling.. But really enjoy your videos and you keep it all real. Just keep doing what you do..
Smalls ,AYO, Davey Gravey don't get no better than that love your channel Smalls you a cool dude would love to hang out with you guys that's on my bucket list keep on rocking on
I grew up fly fishing in western Washington state. I joined the army and my packrod went with me; got stationed in Texas and I'd take my pole out on the weekends and explore little ponds and creeks I could find. My two cents on fly-fishing in bass country; first off, a small (6-7 weight) fly setup lets you fish in even the smallest creeks and ponds and find fish (like the one Smalls caught), I found that flies that look like minnows which I would normally use for salmon also worked on bass. If you're going for big bass on a fly then move up to a 8-9 weight rod (my salmon rod is a 9 weight, the weight is marked on the rod and you need the line that matches it) One of the nice things about a fly setup is that if you get a packrod it's an extremely compact kit. Aside from the rod, the reel, a few extra leaders, and a small box with a few dozen flies will fit in your pockets and now you're set for almost any water you come across.
As a fly fisherwoman who fly fishes for bass all the time, this was very entertaining 😁Let me pitch you a video idea: fly fishing for peacock bass, LM bass and various species in Florida.

It's a shiner
The fish was a Willd shiner wild golden shiner
when you have a fish on, from what i can tell you use your right hand to hold you line while pulling the line in with your left hand
Smalls you , ayo, Davy, and norm should form group and become the Amp of fishing yall are funny af

Dude davey gravy has come such a long way with being comfortable in front of the camera. It’s so fun seeing in get so excited in the videos and communicate with the audience!
That mystery fish from Walmart was a giant shiner, I think.
WHEN THE WHOLE GANG UPLOADS THE SAME DAY WOOOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥
You know its going to be a good-day
No doubt!

My fav group of non-caloric challenged people...I feel at home. Your mystery fish was a large Shiner, a big one.
The little fish was a shiner
Golden shiner
No it was a whitefish
That was my thought but honestly never seen one grow to that size. So many cool fish down south. Mn boy myself so I just get tortured by shitty regs and weather

I’ve also caught 5 pound largies on them in the winter, size 12 tiny little leeches.
Awesome info!
It's crazy seeing bass crush tiny flies.
I’m glad the gang is finally doing a fly fishing challenge!
CAST THE LINE... makes sense...
GO GRADY!!!!
There's just something so satisfying about catching a fish of any size on the fly. Even 2 oz bluegill feels like an accomplishment!
Let's go smalls I think you did this before 🎉
You 3 guys make for a good video.
Smalls you are awesome for learning to fly fish! I have a old fly rod and I am going to dust it off and giver a try. Keep up the good work Smalls.
Looked like a golden shiner
Never caught one personally, but that'd be my guess too.

The Fishy Trinity: AYO, Davy Gravy, and Smalls!
I wish I could fish with you guys in real life, I'm laughing along with your guys's jokes from home as if I'm really there 😂

This was hard to watch, but also the best thing to see. Seems like you guys had a blast. Fly fishing and fly tying are so fun. Catching a 10lb carp on a rod made for trout no more than 18" is unreal.

Tenkara is easy, effective, versitile, and you can fish a lot like you would with conventional gear. Streamers, poppers, jigs. The presentation is super subtle. Belgian cast and bow-and-arrow are the only casts you really need, and you can learn them in 10 seconds. Fly casting isn't any harder than casting a baitcaster, and tenkara is easier than either.

Dream combo three of you ! 🎉
Turtle catch and cook would be AWESOME!
“These ones are tiny”. As a trout guy, those are big lol. Love it.

48 hour cook and eat challenge on ayo's house boat. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Keep at it. I remember when I picked up my first fly rod from academy. I fell in love with the challenge of learning to cast the thing
Yessir wowza your channel is growing so fast now!
A 20lb carp on fly gear would be an awesome fight!! Fun video!
For sure!!
Never have I subscribed to a channel after watching the ad, until now😂😂
Smalls is the only person that makes AYO break character.
Stretch this to $200 and get with someone who actually work is in the fly shop. You’ll get a bomb set up and way better flies.
This right here
