  • Took the fly rod out to the surf for the first time trying to get lucky and catch some surf perch or even striped bass. I was using an 8 weight Sage Fly rod with 7.5 foot tapered 16lb test leader and a sand crab imitation fly.

    Watching you from Klamath falls Oregon like how you talk fishing nothing else and you take the time to explain what you doing for the beginning fishing people

    So I've been watching your videos for a while and you have no idea how hooked I am. You deliver some of the best content on RUclips. Very much worth watching right before bed with the lights off all comfortable.
    The places you visit are breathtaking, you are very lucky indeed to experience something like that. I also see how you like to camp in the middle of nowhere by yourself, I know you're probably an expert but please be careful man, never know what's out there. I look forward to seeing more of your videos! Stay safe!

    Heck yea Matts. I think I was more pumped than you when you hooked up hahaha. I mainly fly fish for trout but when I surf perch I will use the Carolina rig with a fly lol. I've been wanting to fly fish for surf perch for a while now. Thanks for the info. I now have some confidence to actually try it out. Bless up brotha 🙏

    Beach fly fishing is THE most difficult type of fly fishing. Come down this summer and sight cast to Corbina and Spotfin Crocker. One tip, fish A LOT SHALLOWER then you think. Where you were standing is where the perch most likely were at - they feed in crazy shallow water.

  • @hansel2001
    @hansel2001 2 года назад

    Good job. You pretty much got all your terminology correct. Your casting motion is actually pretty good for a rookie. Your casting wrist is on a very good horizontal plane. No wonder your line is shooting out fairly well. Make sure you’re always wearing sunglasses. Surf flies can often get into your face or back of the head depending on the wind or if your fly is hitting the water at the end of the forward or back cast and weighting down your fly. Be safe out there.

    Cool Video! This is what i do when i fish for seatrout. two pro tips: if you have the linebasket on your side-hip, you will be able to get more line in one strip, because its a longer distance aka more movement in the fly. You could also point the tip of the rod towards the water and the end of the fly rod higher up (Where the reel is) towards your arm, when you strip in. If you do this, you will feel the strikes much easier and can set the hook easier aswell :)

    Fly fishing tip. When assembling your rod, start from the top and work your way down. Not from the bottom to to top.

      @@iflanzy When assembling from the bottom you're constantly having to balance the weight of the bottom of the rod with a flexible mid shaft or stick it into the dirt/sand to hold it still. Assembling from the top down keeps the fragile tip in the air and keeps the rod out of the dirt/sand.

    • @iflanzy
      @iflanzy 2 года назад

      @@areess6209 While I've never put my rod together on a beach, I have a 9' 5wt and I don't see the helpfulness of doing what you're talking about. The rod is going to get wet anyways and when fishing, you're most likely resting your rod against the tree or on the ground at some point anyways. It's also very simple to always have the tip in the air by starting the assembly with the handle piece...by just putting a section on at a time normally.

      @@iflanzy Water. Sure. I'm talking about dirt and sand possible getting into the reel when you put it on the ground. My reel isn't separate from the rod when I out it together. So I start at the top and work my way down. That way nothing is getting dragged in the dirt.

    A short straight piece of mono or fluorocarbon also works in the surf!
    Packaged leaders like that include the tippet on the end… you’d only add tippet after you trim the included tippet section back after changing flies or to lengthen your leader with a thinner or less lbs. test tippet.

    @galljnr8866 2 года назад

    Well done bro. You have improved so much with the fly rod. From the thrashing it about.
    When you think you are loading the rod. You need to pause an extra second- 2 seconds.
    What your cast at 15:15,
    You need to stop the back cast between 11-12 on a clock position. This will allow the line to flex the rod . Hope this helps 🎣

    Come down to Socal when the corbina are biting in summer. They will munch on those sand crab flies. I would drill some bigger holes in your stripping basket in case you get swamped, it will drain much faster.
