This guy seems like the calmest, nicest guy ever
I had recently started thinking of adding a trailer fly to my spoons and Wham Bam Thank You Coppersmith Studios you have it all sorted out. Went to River yesterday and once I got it dialed in the bite was on!!!! Almost every cast, sometimes 2 fish at a time-though I could never get both in net. Thank you!!!
I did switch out all the treble hooks for singles to save the fish some wear and tear and reduce my frustrations.
Crankbaits as bobber/indicator?!!!! Oh my God, you are a freaking genius!!!
Also act as a teaser/visual attractant..ill leave a small hook on that crankbait coz u never know
I love these ideas. I caution everyone to check their state laws though and make sure they are legal. Especially the spinner one, having 3 lures on one line.
Not legal where I'm from
Good advice. not legal where i'm from either.
One thing I wish this amazing instructor would do: zooming a bit on the lures and baits and details.
Amazing explanations. Learnt a great thing about bobbers' cons. Thanks for sharing
Great video. Got a whole bunch of rivers in Victoria, Australia that are full of rainbows, but mostly brown trout. Can grow 7kg plus. Your video made me think of shaking things up. I might start trying nymphs and live scrub worms ( worm as weight ), casting upstream of holding points such as rapids or small pond overflows. Just an unweighted worm works a treat, a fly behind could only help.
Enjoy all your videos. Thank you for your explanation of these techniques. I tried 2 flies behind a hookless repala twice now. Today it was the hot ticket. Caught 4, lost 3 and had another 10 to 15 hits I couldn't get hooked up. It was a BLAST! Thanks again and TIGHT LINES.
I've enjoyed watching your entire series. Cant wait to get back out there. Thanks for sharing your thechniques !!
You're welcome.
thanks a lot, you have a very good idea for replacing the bubble
The dvd was totally worth it. Looking forward to get other ones that shows where to fish now.
1:30 in and you've already taught me something. I'm impressed man. I usually Carolina rig streamers on my ultra light and imitate a stripping technique by twisting at the waist and letting the fly fall before reeling in the slack before I "strip" again. Works very well. However, I never ever even thought of using a streamer behind a spinner. Spot on!
This my friend is a awesome video and I can't wait to try this method out. I am a bass guy in Idaho but so many times the bass have lock jaw and the trout are busting all around me. I am very excited to give this a try and expand my fun times doing what I love to do. Thank you so much.
And it works. i have just take a beauteful brown, with a small daredevil and a black nimph.Thank you for your video. Claude,Quebec, Canada.
Have you ever tried fishing a dry fly off a dropper loop with the crank bait in the back. That way you can leave the hooks on the crank bait and casting with the weight at the end is easier.
Great vid. Straight to the point. No raz-matz. Fishing this hole with spinners, soft bait, rapalas, kitchen sink. Plenty browns in plain sight laughing at me. I knew a fly was what they want. Hope I’m laughing next week.
Thank you for sharing your methods!
Live bait never fails. #10 bait holder (barb closed) and a fat night crawler never fails me.
These are some solid ideas. I'm not a big fan of bubbles either, but I can't afford a fly rod. Lately, I've been free-lining flies with spinning gear a lot. People look at me funny, but I catch a lot of fish. I found that I can use water resistance to get momentum for my casts. It's not pretty, but it works. I've gotten it down to an art. Now, I have no problem normally casting wooly buggers without added weight. That being said, I still can't cast a dry fly 30 ft, unless it's a popper.
That's awesome. I recently bought a tenkara rod for $5, so I'm looking forward to trying that.
in ireland they use a bubble float half filled with water as a casting weight tied to the end of the line and tie on two flies on droppers above the float to catch salmon..its very effective
Crank bait!,what a good idea,I'm going to try that
Have to agree with the group. Crankbait is one slick move ese.
learned a lot in a short amount of time! thanks and good luck out there
A big thanks for sharing your knowledge. I want to catch some sea trout and I am hoping this method will help now that the striped bass is almost gone and that the trout can come out and play.
holy christmas, see ya bobber
Excellent advice. A red and white daredevil is deadly too. I like one with a copper belly.
When I started fly fishing I would carry a spin reel in my back pack just incase. You would be surprised how well the 6'6" eagle claw fly rod 3/4 wt will throw a spinner. Then In normal fly mode, small stream fly fishing it is perfect because its such a short and fiberglass rod. The rod itself is only $25 off amazon. I was doing the opposite of you but really like your idea. Tight lines
I’m gonna have to check out that rod. It’s tight quarters in our mountain streams in SC. Loads of little rainbows and brookies though, tight lines 🙂
Thank you great idea on this.
GREAT vid!!! Excellent info to use and apply to my brother who only uses a spinning reel and doesn't know how to fly fish streams that only allow flies and lures only. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Going to try these and see how it goes.
I do this set up when I'm using rapalas I put a little fly preferably a darker fly about 2 feet in front and I've caught really nice big browns
Man, I absolutely enjoyed your experienced and thoughtful approach! Thank you very much! Subbed and belled!
I don't fish for trout, but I could adapt this method to fish for European perch. I already use the Mepps Aglia 0 and 00 in silver, copper and gold. And I use the Japanese design Eastern European made Crazy Fish Soar spoons that have a single barbless hook, I suppose I could add maybe a bloodworm fly or an epoxy minnow beyond that as a kind of stinger hook. The only problem is, pike share the same water where I fish for perch. I try to keep my rig as light as possible by using a very fine 2kg titanium trace, so I would have to add a further trace for the fly, and that's where it gets a bit more complicated, unless I rigged the fly in a side strap style off the main line.
Dear Dan!
Greetings from Toronto, Canada.
What a fantastic video!
Your explanations are very clear, and as a spinning fisherman who'd recently caught the trout bug, I am excited to try some of these techniques.
Thanks. I've had some great fishing adventures in Canada and hope to go back up there again some year.
CoppersmithStudios1 And I'd like to do the same, in the United States, at some point :)

@@CoppersmithStudios1 from Toronto Canada brother. Will try this in Algonquin park where I can. Thanks for the video
I'll have yo try this out ..great way to go
a spinning rod is quite whippy and has a similar action to a fly rod...i used to kit one up with a fly line and reel when i was a kid and it put a line out with no problem..
great and amazing tips on all 3 videos . thank u
Excellent video, thanks!
Nice video👍. I always carry a okuma ultra light spinning reel, loaded with 4lb line when fly fishing. It really helps in tight and awkward spots 😛
Just the reel? You put it on your fly rod?
Very nice video thanks.
dam man what an ideas. i am going to try this summer. it will be first time i will be trying rainbow. thanks
Thanks for ideas I haven't seen
Great ideas, thank you!
This is a great video of you could do a closeup on your setup that’d be awesome to see how you tie your knots and setup your line
This is one of a series, the other episodes do show close ups of the line tying techniques and many other tips.
Enjoyable and helpful video
That's actually a really smart idea. I'll have to try that out.
So you can tie a fly to the treble hook of a spoon or spinner bait ? Love the idea
Well done excellent video
Hi. I have watched these three videos carefully but I am kind of new to this. My question is should I tie spinners and swivels and where (in front of crank bait for example), or Should I attach flies on a swivel or should I tie it directly. The same stands with spinners and spoons. Thank you for your time.
I always try to pre-strip some line off the reeel and land the fly upstream of where i want to skitter it and then let it float to target it's hard to get the fly where you want it with spin rod some rivers and lakes are single hook fly or barbless only so i use them... i kind of hate treble hooks in general though they maim fish which isn't ideal to me
So sick great video bud
Reminds me of my grandfather teaching me to fish for the first time
Thanks man, this is awesome.
Thanks.
great vid my dude
Try it with a clear thru line bobber
One quick question. How to tie a spinning lure and not have the treble hook in the way.
visar brestovci this.
Don't use a rear hook, and use a single hook, not a treble.
I've had some success with bee looking flies and split shot.
Thanks sir fly rods are expensive
Thanks for the vid
Thanks a lot 👏👏👏🎣
Could one use this technique for steelhead? Maybe with the streamers or egg sucking leech patterns. Cannot use a fly rod anymore, the spinning approach may put one back into the steelie game. Could use 1/8 to 1/4 oz crankbaits , #3 spinner with streamer, size 2 wooly buggers, Zonker and etc. Also being that steelies are susceptible spoons a big fly behind the spoon could be kick butt. What do you think?
I think this technique would work very well for steelhead.
Why can’t you use a fly rod anymore?
Nice Vid!!
Do you think it would be possible to fish bear creek with just a fly and no added weight
this is a preety good fishing day
How do you tie on flies behind a spoon? Won't the spoons hooks get tangled in the line going to the flies?
Anthony Gregorio not if u have a barrel swivel on the hook as a tie off
Genius
Great video. Thanks for your sharing your methods! I do have a question though. Are the majority of the streams you fish, slow current? By using a spinner, in faster moving water, you would have to cast against the current and move upstream slowly. However, this may not be effective using nymphs or dry flys in the back since the nature of the flys is to go downstream. I am going to Colorado next week to fish at the Elk River and I am trying to check how I may apply your technique. Should I cast diagonally and hope for a good simulation?
Learning so much! What brand of ‘Crawfish Oil’ do you use? Thank You!
They are all good. My main concern is to find a brand in a small bottle that will fit in my fly fishing vest. If I can't find such a brand then I'll pour some in an empty small bottle of something else.
Gotcha! Thanks!
Great video, Do you ever lake fish? I am heading to a trout lake, to you know the propper lake set up for sin rod and bubble? ty
On my web page here I have videos of my trip fishing the alpine lakes of Wyoming's Wind River Mountains using my spin-fly techniques: www.coppersmithstudios.com/vid_wrm.html
Wow!!! What a great way to fish! Thanks :)
I’ve found the same, brook trout LOVE orange and red, it’s almost like they are cannibals, lol, as they have lots of orange and red on them…
Couldnt you use the cheaper rebel floating crankbaits? I dont think the fish can tell the difference lol
Clever solutions :)
Thank you for posting, can you tell me? If you are in a "fly fishing only" section of water, is the "fly and bubble" legal?
Usually it is legal, but a few places specifically say you cannot have additional weight on your line, so there you would need a fly rod, but that is fairly rare.
Next time you should show close ups of the lure
Ther is a real proble with what you are advicating
I’m confused! What’s the problem?
Tying your own flies is good cause you can add a lot of lead wire to be able to cast in a spinning rod that’s what I do at least for wooly buggers and streamers
Okay, so here's a thought: What about putting a spinning or spincasting reel on a fly rod? I've heard of it being done, and my great-grandfather used to do it when he fished and he loved it for trout. Would I be able to cast a fly with some light monofiliment using a spincast on a fly rod for lake fishing? I'm looking to get things out REALLY far.
You will be limited to casting very short distances only and that will greatly lessen the number of fish you catch. I recommend following the techniques as explained in my DVD "How to Fly Fish with a Spinning Rod".
SnowblindOtter it’s the weight of the fly line that casts the flies. Straight mono on a flyrod would go no where.
Believe it or not I've caught rainbows on bass square bill crankbaits 1.5 inch in Georgia. 100 size.
But the spinner lets the fly sink down and a fly is supposed to swim on the surface and driving fishes crazy if it moves too much?
Do you have to use clear water bobbers, or does any streamlined float work?
My recommendation as explained throughout this series is to use floating crankbaits instead of bobbers.
Do you tie each one to the hook of the one ahead? Or tie all to main line?
How everything gets connected is one of the main breakthroughs of this method and is clearly explained in the DVD How to Fly Fish with a Spinning Rod. All reviews of that DVD have been extremely positive. I recommend you get a copy. I predict you will be glad you did.
Confused how the rapala is any different than a bobber with similar weight and hydrodynamics
Would a clear bobber work well?
No. Wait a couple months and my DVD on how to fly fish with a spinning rod will be out. Subscribe and you will be notified when that happens. I explain in detail the problem with bobbers in that DVD and explain the details of crankbait fishing.
....CENTREPIN REEL + FLOAT ROD ;) try that next
What knot technique do you use to tie on multiple lures?
Googan city man
Btw I would put the lure below the fly
What size line are you using and are using a leader as well?
Those questions and others are answered in the other parts of the series.
how do you tie on the flies after the spinner?
There are a number of techniques you can use to make this work better. The type of line, the way it is all connected, and various fly/lure combinations as well as the trout species you are going after all should be considered. I go into a lot of detail about these things in the E-book on my DVD Trout Streams of SW Wisconsin.
Can somebody share with me the e-book that comes with the dvd?
You need to buy the DVD to get the e-book. Otherwise you violate copyright laws.
It's only fly fishing when you use a fly rod isn't it
Hey boy what's a Willy bugger
Thanks for the vid.
Alex Karpovsky?
;-/
I think there is another great idea: buy a fly road and reel and go fly fishing 🙂
I have both but sometimes the trout streams around my parts are very obscure preventing me from using the fly rod, this will come in handy for sure!
Yup... Thats what he says at the end of the video. Thanks..
Finding and fishing small rivers and creeks for brook trout is truly a unique and amazing experience.
I improvised a rig somewhat similar to what you do but instead of a fly I used a 1/16 swimming jighead with a worm. It was amazing until I lost it.

I found the spinner on a tree but my line broke off with a 12 incher hooked. Now I deseperatly looking for who made these spinner cause I need more.
how to fly fish with a skimping rod ! that's your fist proublum !
James Brede what??
James Brede what are you on ?
poor videography. show tackle close up in a well lit environment with a contrasting background.
This video was only meant as a general introduction to the subject. I will be publishing a DVD soon showing good close ups and much more information. Subscribe to find out when it is available.
@@CoppersmithStudios1 Thanks much for the videos and info! May I ask if you've found a good pair of"fitover" polarized sunglasses that you'd recommend for us eyeglass wearers?
This method is super illegal where I live and fish.
Bummer
Interesting talk however why not just fly fish with a traditional fly setup? Only thing I have against spin fishing is it just kills more trout than fly fishing as I am a 100% catch and release trout fisherman. When it comes to using bait in wild trout streams I won't even comment... Nice video...Good ideas..
ugsisr boooooooo!!! worst comment ever.... fly fishing does not solely posess the entirity of pureness in fishing, i spin fish and catch and release, and take great care in treatment of the fish... if people pay attention and set the hook properly, you can easily lip fish and release with as much delicate concern as you fly douches...
ugsisr What is wrong with using live bait in a wild trout stream? If you know how to properly set the hook and handle the fish I don't see a difference with a fly rod. I use a fairly different technique with only mealworms and a size 12 nymph hook. Always right in the lip.
+Jeff Honey . People like our friend ugsiser are the kind of purists that put a lot of people off fluff chuckers. They act like some sort of fishing police and are usually very anal individuals.
His ignorance of ultralight modern fishing lures fitted with the tiniest of hooks and the fact that many modern lure anglers increasingly use single hooks seems to have escaped our friends notice. Many lure anglers increasingly choose to fish with barbless hooks too. The only thing i have against fly fisherman is they can chat a lot of shite and think they think they're fishing gods.

+ugsisr. The truth is Fly fishermen who traditionally fish for trout and Salmon have been resposible for killing more of these fish over the years than any other freshwater fish in Britain. Because freshwater species are not generally eaten over here, coarse fish have always been caught and released. Your understanding of modern lure fishing is very dated and although called spinning rods the lures available today and the many forms they take is truly staggering. To a modern lure fisherman your comments regarding trout being any more at risk from dying because it's caught on a tiny soft plastic lure using a very small single hook
as compared to a fly is both ridiculous and shows your ignorance of lure fishing in the new millenium. Ha ha bless you, you really think we're still in the days of spoons, spinners, and plugs. Oh uggy my poor deluded friend if only you knew you might understand why lure fishing excites more anglers than fly fishing and why lure fishing is the fastest growing sector of the fishing market right now.
ugsisr I spin fish and that does not mean that every fish I catch is going to die . I have the choice to release it and the trout will happily swim away . I love the thrill of hooking a fish and is totally pointless if every fish is going to die as you suggest then be nothing left to catch eventually , sure its nice to bring home a decent sized fish for the smoker every so often but your attitude as a fly fisherman is just anal and I have respect for the environment I fish in and dont leave rubbish behind either . Dont know why fly fisherman think they are so elite , and if your back is surrounded by bush like most of my fishing locations your fly rod wont be much good . You sir are to narrow mined and need to wake up to the more moden techniques and gear available . As long as you follow local fishing rules it doesn't matter what you use , just enjoy the hobby and have fun .
