The Into Fly Fishing RU-vid channel is created for fly anglers, by fly anglers. Our aim is to help every level of fly fisherman and woman find the best gear, learn the best techniques, and practice catching more fish. We believe in a catch-and-release philosophy and in taking care of our fish and fisheries around the world. If we can leave the rivers cleaner than we found them and the fish just as healthy as we caught them, we can help more people enjoy this fantastic sport for generations to come.
Now that's pretty funny. If I am not mistaken, you spent a bit explaining to wrap the hackle in the same direction as the thread wraps, and then you wrapped the hackle in the opposite direction. 🤣 Appreciate the video never-the-less.
I know you’re a knob greaser if you recommend GH fly shop, that place is a joke of a fly shop. Extorting people out of a shit load of money and giving them shit/ over regurgitated advice and then mocking customers as they walk out. Lazy guiding with no respect for etiquette. Find a better fly shop, kingfisher is solid, Missoulian and if you’re headed out to rock creek stop at the Merc. The Merc will give you the best advice for fishing rock creek as it is on rock creek not downtown Missoula like the overpriced boutique recommended by this guy. Full disclosure I work at the fly shop on rock creek but I do not speak for the owner or anyone else, my thoughts my opinion.
This reel is a very good value; the dimensions, drag, weight price, cost of spools, etc. The only issue I have with the Rise is the extremely muted outgoing sound. It’s just super quiet and I prefer a little more noise on the outgo.
I started fly fushing alittle late in life. ( At sixty). If i could give any advise to someone staring out. Do not listen to alot of the snobbery & eliteism that you to will probably listen to. Buy a decent qaulity rod & learn how to cast! I have two clearwater rods. They have served me well for twelve years. I dilligently learned to cast, tie my knots, & fish the streams, ponds, rivers, & lakes that i was on! I catch just as many fish or more than some of the rod snobs that ive interacted with!
Wait... the sound of my 1/1 platinum plated diamond encrusted orvis reel doesn't bring in more fish???? I thought fly fishing wasn't for the poors. What the fuck tom.
Is it possible to send you a rod to review. I am a small custom fly rod manufacturer, produce my own blanks and custom lengths, my newest rod is a 6 foot 10 inch
A while back, I broke the tip on my Thomas & Thomas so I got an Echo Carbon XL to use until I got the T&T repaired. I loved the Echo so much, I never went back to the (much) more expensive rod. I'd be curious to see where that falls on this list.
Thank you for the review. Based on your video, I bought this rod as a back up to my Dragontail and for my daughter to use for panfish. Great rod for small streams and has handled trout up to 16"with ease! Very pleased with the rod.
Most of expensive brand flyreels are made in China, - or parts of them, - I agree. So I bought some reels by TEMU for freshwater fishing. Only one of five comes in with a little problem - the ball-bearing in false way out. Ideal for an left hand caster. TEMU accept exchange, problem solved.
I will be getting this for my salt 8 weight later in the year. I went with the cheaper eco reels for my 2 and 3(overlined glass) weights since they are really just line holders and never use the drag on them
Stuck between this reel and the Okuma Helios SX. On here you say this reel has a cork drag system but I'm pretty sure the product page says carbon fiber which if true is better than the Okuma which is felt. The Okuma cost about twice as much but I'm not sure it's really a better reel.
Hey there,.. it's not about how much you spend on a fly rods and reels,... I own several high-end rods and they don't cast any better than my cheap ghetto rods ( not really ghetto) but you know what I mean.. the best rod is the one that feels good in your hands and works well for you,... whether it was cheap or it cost you your left testicle,.. fish don't give a shit how much you spent on your gear! As for you Prima Donna's, go and spend $$$$ thousands if it helps you sleep at night 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've bought everything from Maxcatch to Orvis Blackout $1000 rods. I'll never buy another Maxcatch or another $1000 rod. There is nothing a thousand dollars about a $1000 rod. There are plenty of cheaper rods that will catch loads of fish.
A great reel. Machining is good. line is not bad. For the price it is a fantastic reel that has performed flawlessly on everything from Smallmouth & Largemouth, some over 4lbs. Trout up to 21” & even down to the shore for Schoolie stripers. Salt has been no problem. I fish sealed and no sealed reels in salt with no problems. Pull the spool of, swish around in bucket of water wipe down and let air dry. This is a killer reel that if it said O-VIS on the side would cost WAYY more.
I'm 50/50 on the back pack. Having the option to carry a backpack might suit me better. Also isn’t airflow compromised with the material on the back of the vest compared to mesh backs most vest use? I feel it would be a hot treck in this vest. Saying that, convenience of having one pack would be good. Not having backpack straps over the vest pockets may also work out well. Anyone whose used this vest got any insights pertaining to my issues?? Would appreciate it.
Hi Pierre Thanks for an amazing video I am currently using a 10’ stealth infinity 6 # ,predominately for Vaal yellows. What are your comments on that. I have the same in a 3 weight for drys for trout I love the beautiful soft presentations
The prodict description says medium fast action but in the Amazon q&a a WW rep says slow action. My fly shop said the 5/6 definitely needed 6wt line and I should cast slow suggesting slow action ?
