Exploration and adventure with a fly rod in one and a camera in the other. What started as a small channel about fly fishing along the Texas coast, is slowly growing to fly fishing adventures around the world.
So simple. I love it! I mostly use uni to uni, never bothered learning the FG since it is isnt necessary for 99% of fishing applications. Uni to uni casts fine, I am not catching GT or Sailfish. Simple knots are more than strong enough. I might try this knot though...
Watching i was like that looks like magnolia springs. Then they said going for striper and i pointed at the screen and screamed DEFINITELY MAGNOLIA SPRINGS! By myself, in the dark, talking to the TV.
From fairhope here, bought the tfo blitz 8wt from Peter last year and still my fav redfish stick, always informative and helpful Peter is a great guy to both do business with and just chat fishing. Cool to see him with the skiff wanderer
Fished that area for 30 years before that lodge came in and it was one of the best bays in Texas for big trout and reds. But they run a lot of boats out of there and just like everywhere else the commercial outfits show up, the fishing quality and quantity just collapses ! Now it’s nothing like it used to be and the same places we used to always kill ‘em at just don’t produce anymore. It’s Sad going there now remembering the way it used to be. It’s “Paradise Lost”! But, whataya gonna do ?….
I love your running commentary while fishing. Kind of hilarious you are keeping a "tree to fish" count ratio. Those cutty's look like Green Back Cutthroats to me, denoted by large black spots. But there are Colorado River Cutthroats in Colorado as well. Not sure where you were fishing. Yes, pretty common to swap out dry flies if you're getting as much action as you are.
Trying to be better about talking to the camera when I’m fishing solo so yall have more context. Unfortunately or fortunately it normally is just the running dialogue in my head. That would be sweet if they’re greenbacks. Cutties might be tied with browns for my favorite trout. Need more cutthroat fishing before the final verdict
There's no way to do a polymer knot on both sides of swivels, someone help me out? My father in law suggested I use polymer knots but I only know how to do clinch knots on both sides of swivels.
I kinda like the fg know for heavy fluor leader. It is very streamlined. And it was powerfull enough for me to pull my boat towards a rock it was stuck to with quite some speed
I just got into fishing and maybe I screwed myself with getting 4 lb fluorocarbon because I am having no luck with knots it's very hard to work with and I have had no success yet except quench that's easy
