Hey there, do you tie fluo to the leader? Kinda confused cause fluo is sinking, and if your dry fly is on it, does it sink? Here we tie it like dry on tippet than fluo for sinking. Nice video btw
@@panteroidtv7310 Hi, thanks for your comment👐 Do you mean Fluoro Carbon line? I use fluoro carbon for the complete leader. I hope it answers your question. Have a great day.😉
@@jdpease1919 Hi I basically took 2 pieces of hard wood and drew a papered line on each side. In other words a line that is half the size of one bamboo strip. So when you put the two wooden planks together side by side it is the same dimentions and shape as one bamboo strip. Then I just plane it down with a planer 60 degrees angle and put the 2 pieces of wood together and you have a tapering triangular groove. I hope it helps.🤗
Did you tie the lead fly to the shank of the adjustable fly ? Very similar to the New Zealand fly technique . Using larger floating fly as a bite indicator...not seen this sliding adjustable method used before . What is the rubber ring that you put above the adjustable fly called ? Regards Callum Nice river . Whereabouts ish is it ?
@@callumnoblett4905 Hi Callum Yes I tie all my flies myself. I use foam combined with deer hair etc. It's called a rubber bead stopper. I use it for float fishing mainly. You can get them bulk from most fishing shops, Amazon, Aliexpress etc. They are cheap. I use the small size. They have more grip on the line. I am in Germany Regards Adrian
Hows it bru? Just come across your video. My best mate growing up was South African. He was the most loyal true mate you could ever ask for. We had some awesome times fishing together. I still miss him 15 years on. I dont know why that matters to anyone on here but i didnt think hearing ya accent would make me think about him like it has. Keep doing what you doing 👍🇬🇧
@@Kacamatagombal-wz5lw Hi, unfortunately it will be difficult for me to do a full tutorial. I only built this one reel as an experiment. At the end of the day it's a lot of work and not really worth the effort. I am planning to do 3d printing where I can rather print the parts using fusion 360 to create the plans.
Got all of my "ingredients" in the mail today. I went with pale yellow float stoppers and bought a short length of medical tubing with a 1/16" ID. Anyway I'll be using this set up next time I'm on stream which should be next Monday or Tuesday. I'll check in concerning how it goes first time out. Lol. I went fishing for rainbows this morning on Mill Creek in Pulaski County, Missouri. Waters was up and flowing pretty strong. Yelton Spring was pumping more water than I've ever seen it produce. Oh, yeah, I got utterly skunked! They've obviously removed all the trout.
Great👐 I am glad you got the ingredients and look forward getting feedback on how your trip goes. Sorry about the fish that was removed. That must have been dissapointing. I can just imagine. Looking forward hearing from you.😉
Hi David. Yes that is the first one I made. I also have a video with the second bamboo rod I made. They are now my go to rods, because I custom madw them for the conditions I fish in. Stronger tips for snagged flies and shorter 7 foot rods for dense bushy areas.
It's hard work to make these rods especially if one use simple basic tools, but I have them now for my kids to use in the future to, because they are strong and tough.
They turned out amazing! I am trying to track down books and videos. Where did you get your culms from? Did you have a specific site you use to get materials?
@@TheCigarHive I have a CAD program where I made my own drawings. I did use some specs that I got from the internet. I tried to keep it simple. With thw Cad drawings I could accuratelly get measurements at every 10 to 15 cm. Most of the work on the bamboo strips I did scraping with a Stanley blade. I got a good piece of bamboo from my local hardware store for 15€. I made 2 good rods from it and even heve enough left to make another rod.
Hi, I'm not 100% sure.. I guess maybe 1mm or a little bit less. It fits tightly over the line. The main thicker part of the leader doesn't taper so the small tubing's friction on the line stays constant. Use whatever tubing you can find as long as you are able to fit it on the line effortlessly. The rubber stopper is the one that causes the resistance or drag you want preventing the fly to slip. I hope it helps. Have a great day👐
This is a great solution to this question I've long had. Thanks for demonstrating. I appreciate the question and your response about the hook going through the sleeve itself. also wondering if the line runs straight through the sleeve or does it get wrapped around the hook or sleeve. Can't tell. Will have to try it out I reckon to figure it out...would appreciate your feedback. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for your message. The line actually goes straight through. If it is slightly at an angle it's not the end of the world. The fly should just be able to slide effortlessly on the line. Cheers I hope that helps.👐
@@davidvalle-schwenk1555 I'm sure you manage. All the best. Let me know if you struggle with it, then I can attach a fly and take close up photos if necessary 😉
@@scottwinfrey5436 Hi Scott I am basically cutting a small piece of +- 2 mm of the wire and then I feed it through the line first. I then just push the hook through it in a way that it's well in line withe the fly shank. When one hold the fly as a whole between your two fingers you should be able to slide it up and down the line. Check out my other how to video please. Have a great day😉
the first time i went carp fishing the only rod i had was a beach caster i put a boily on and slung it out not even a rod rest 10 minutes later landed an 18 pound mirror al the other anglers had all the carp gear 3 rods bite alarms etc the could not beleive what i was fishing with but they didnt have a bite the fish has no idea what tackle you use or dont use only thing that counts is what is in the water that they can see keep at it fella
For sure. I agree. I enjoy nice tackle etc, but like you said the fish only sees what is in the water. My motto has always been to buy the best gear that you can afford. I enjoy a challenge sometimes to see how creative I can be catching a fish with tackle that are entry level and not fancy. The bare minimum. I find it more rewarding. I am not into all the brand name stuff etc etc. When that becomes a priority then I think one misses the simplicity and essence of fishing. Just my opinion though🙂
I do a similar setup using the bobber stopper but insert a no eye eyelet into the body of the dry fly under the shank of the hook. Run tippet through eye of fly back to eye of no eye eyelet. Works great leaves hook unencumbered.
Hi John. Whao, that sounds interesting. Is it possible to upload a photo of the fly with the no eye eyelet? It would be very interesting to see. It sounds like a good idea🙂🙌
I will try, I use the smallest size eylet. They can be found on Cabelas . I use two needle nose and bend the eye up slightly. Then insert it between the body of fly and shank of hook till only the eye is showing, then run tippet through eye of fly then back along bottom of fly and through the eye of the eylet. Then I attach the bobber stopper. 6:22
Thanks. Yes for sure, I also like to travel light and be able to dash in and out. Otherwise it becomes a mission and I like to go fishing sometimes in the spur of the moment😉👍

@@thecreativeangler5802 Thanks. I think a 2 wt is probably the best-it can handle all kinds of small to medium fish. BI have a 1 wt as it was not possible to get a reasonably priced 2 wt at the time. Nut I am very happy with it. It casts beautifully and handles the sizes of trout I mostly encounter in tiny places. :-)
@@TERRYBIGGENDEN Yes, the 2 weight is a nice all rounder and I have caught moderately big Trout on it as well. I am also struggeling to find the exact rod I need and decided to build myself a 7 foot split cane rod. I'ts about a 4 weight, but also light. It is a great joy to catch and cast. Ideal for tight bushy spots and where there's lots of trees.
@@thecreativeangler5802 That all sounds delightful Here they have opened up two adjoining river systems in the closed trout season-amazing. It is because local anglers get tired of not being able to fish for other species just because the streams have trout (an introduced species by the way). if a stream is a declared general trout stream, no one can fish for anything. So I have some gorgeous new places to try in out winter (now). :-)
