McFly Angler is all about fishing. I love to fish all types of fishing. Mainly fly fishing, but do conventional fishing as well on occasion. I used to live in Colorado, and did a lot of small creek and river fishing for trout of all sizes. From small dry fly fishing for tiny creek brook-trout and cutthroat, to large river fishing for monster brown trout, I did it all. However I recently moved to Texas where I now fish rivers and creeks for warm water species like bass, sunfish, catfish, and carp. Also the gulf of Mexico is close by, so I do try and pop down there once in a while for speckled trout and redfish on the fly. I also teach people how to tie flies on this channel. From simple flies to complicated flies, from dry flies to saltwater flies. I tie them all. I usually have my videos come out on Fridays, so mark your calendars and come by every week to check out my videos.
I've been doing this a long time with dubbing in the middle of the tape. Clear tape also takes a highlighter pretty well too, so with both you can come up with some pretty unique patterns. The feather is top notch though!
Thanks, I continue to be frustrated with the UV curing resins, spent lots of money on them, seems like they all are guaranteed to dry out after they are used for the first time - doesn’t matter how well you tighten the bottle.
The solarez bottles I have are a year or more old and still working. With this bone dry, it might crystallize a bit, just place it in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time, and it will thin out.
What an amazing spot to bring the fam. My sons (6 and 8) love catching pan fish on fly rods. Its amazing how quickly they learn when you have patience with them.
I just purchased a Risen ITB 8wt with there sale on them. Seems like a great rod. Need to take it out for carp soon and hopefully for some smaller Red Fish and Snook down in Florida this fall.
Never seen that movie, is it a movie? Anyway yes your right, no need for rain where your at for flash flooding. I don’t remember what I said in the video though. Did I mention anything regarding flash flooding?
@@McFlyAngler 1952 movie. Humphrey Bogart got the Academy Award for best actor. You said in the video if the water started to rise to get out. Due to flash floodung
I would think that someone who calls themselves McFly would be able to pronounce "O'Shawnnessy" correctly!!! Just kidding, blowing you a line of crap!!! This is my favorite sand flea/mole crab pattern.
Thanks, and get this, I’m adopted into an Irish family. I’m the only red head in the Irish family. And turns out when I met my birth mother she told me I wasn’t Irish. Haha! I’m like mostly German and a little Italian. Go figure!
Yeah they had fun. And yes, I didn’t press the issue here because their hands were wet. They were playing and splashing in the water. But when they get older and understand better, yeah for sure
Hey, really cool seeing you with the family teaching the kids to fly fish. It reminds me of when I used to do that too, and it was and kinda difficult. Doing video at the same time must make it even tougher. Very nice day on the water and lots more in the future. God bless and enjoy!
The flies were a foam hopper type fly. The sunfish were going crazy for them. Since it was my kids Fishing, I decided not to go after big bass or anything, but to ensure that they catch a fair amount of fish which means sunfish.
I gotta start tying these. Although biot tails drive me crazy as im pretty new to tying. I only use flies for steelhead, thus heavy flies really shine and you can make these in so many colors and sizes
Oh man, the video doesn’t do it justice! Super beautiful! Thanks man! Yeah I was happy about those fish. Not huge but very good size fish for south Texas fly fishing.
Most of it was site fishing. You can see the fish in the water for sure. Some blind casting but mostly site casting yeah. I don’t think it dries up normally in the summer, it’s spring fed.
Good music is expensive to use. I use what I can use for free, otherwise it would cost me money to make videos. As a RU-vidr in the fly fishing world, videos don’t usually get the kinda views that make much of anything and therefore even just purchasing music rights to use for a video costs more than I make in a video.
@@McFlyAngler I grew up on bluegrass and country music. Matter of fact my dad is practicing tomorrow with his bluegrass band! They have been playing together for over 50 years now. Sadly their health is failing some of them, and some have passed away. If you have ever seen Ralph Stanley you’ve sen my dad. People often mistook the two backstage! They could pass for identical twins. I had a pic of them together from many years ago, but have no idea what I did with it. But personally I love the music you used! 😃👍
Oh ok, sorry for that! I’ve had comments that the music is terrible, I thought this was similar. My bad! I’m glad you liked the music. I personally like bluegrass also. I used to love a band called nickel creek. Unfortunately they broke up in 2014
@@McFlyAngler no problem! Pay them no mind. They probably listen to hippity hop or rap music. Music is like candy. You keep the good tuff and toss the rapper! 😃😂
