Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!

How about this tip so that you can flyfish another day? Put on your chest high waders, then walk into the river, until the water is up to your waist then cinch up your wader belt. This removes the air in the waders below your belt. I found myself floating upside down, with my head and upper torso below the water line and my legs above the water line with all of the trapped air.

@charlieboutin3341 Год назад

Glad that you got out of that situation. Great tip about getting the air out. Thanks! 👍👍👌

@FlyFishDan Год назад

Awesome tip Frank - thank you!

Another great video FlyFish Dan! One thing that I could add to the list is a good wading stick. I fish alone quite a bit and I'm getting older, so my agility isn't as good as it used to be. I got a collapsible wading staff, and it makes a big difference in fast water and with slippery rocks. The one I got is called the River Stick, a guy in Canada makes them. Once you snap it together it would also make a good weapon to fend off predators. You can't get them in stores but there are others out there. I put a carabiner on the loop so I can just clip it to my sling pack when I'm fishing, and it's right there when I need it. It really changes how I fish. Fish-On!!!

Good stuff Neil - I will have to check that out!

@stevenm6301 Год назад

One of the best things I’ve bought in the last 5 years is the Orvis net retractor. Done with magnets!

@FlyFishDan Год назад

Nice!

@xfire301 Год назад

It took me 40 years to discover folded line guide threading. Life changing.

@FlyFishDan Год назад

So good :))

@kevinmcphee7922 Год назад

I was lucky… the guy that sold me my first fly rod showed me this trick at the shop. Same with the leader and line stretching trick to get the loop memory from the reel to relax.

@rosiestein209 Год назад

Ha! Good stuff all of which I do not have. 🤣 But, I've been threading my line like in your tip for years. Oh well. Cool thing about this sport is there's so many ways to get 'er done. 👏

@FlyFishDan Год назад

Well said Rosie!

@justal4844 Год назад

Another wonderful video, FFD. If you don't mind, here is my tip. When adding your leader to your main line, double the end you just slipped on the main line and then pull the leader through. I see a LOT of people searching for the small end to thread through the main line loop, which is the same kind of PIA as putting leader through rod eyes. Hope this description makes sense. ☮

@FlyFishDan Год назад

Thanks for the tip Al - much appreciated!

@charlieboutin3341 Год назад

Great tips Dan! I took a small hook sharpener and ground it down to a small 3/4”x 1/4” piece and epoxied it to my forceps/cutter that also has a hook eye cleaner. 4 in one tool. I use it to sharpen almost every time I’m fishing heavy cover for bass with plenty of hangups, and hopefully at times after lots of caught fish. It’s all I carry besides flies and extra tippet. Have a great weekend! Fish On! 🎣👍👌

Great tip Charlie! Thank you and fish-on indeed!

I've had a pair of boots with the boa system for a couple years. The stainless wire frayed and parted after just a few uses. Maybe I just got a bad batch of wire. Anyway, the supplier did send me a wire replacement kit free of charge and I did the repair but I will say it wasn't a simple process. Tiny little parts and not intuitive routing. But I got it done and so far the new wires are holding up. All that said I do agree the winding up and release is much easier than laces and overall I'm satisfied. Recommend a supplier with a good guarantee.

@FlyFishDan Год назад

Great feedback Captain Mike - thank you!

@OregonFishingAdventures Год назад

That last tip I've seen all over the place but I honestly don't do that I fished ultralight spinning rods with 2-4 pound line which would be 6-7x tippet essentially and I have never had a issue running my line through guides but I guess everyone is different just never been a issue for me regardless of what rod I'm using

@CalebThANGELman Год назад

So with the rod holder. When you are casting with one rod does your line ever hit the rod that is being held?

@FlyFishDan Год назад

Stay tuned for tomorrow's video! :)) Happens occasionally...when you least want it to

@DDubbs76 Год назад

Your channel is fun, buddy.

@FlyFishDan Год назад

I appreciate that!

@ThePorpoisepower Год назад

Some Fly lines don't come with a welded loops (even premium brands), also I prefer to not have a loop on some of my lines.

@johnkinsfather64 Год назад

A good pair of speed laces will do the job $9 at Walmart or $1.79 on line.

@FlyFishDan Год назад

Good tip!

@mobiltec Год назад

Well here I go again. Another new sport to go out and spend a million dollars on for all the GOTTA HAVE stuff you need to enjoy what you are doing. LOL.... I wonder if I can spend as much on fly fishing as I have on Skydiving.

@FlyFishDan Год назад

You totally will :))

@rustyknott-W.D 15 дней назад

Two rods? How about simply changing the fly? Try working a brushy stream with two rods and you'll see what I mean. The problem with Boa is you're always re-tightening them if you move around a lot. I had a pair of Boa Cross-country ski boots and they'd get loose after a half hour of skiing. I trashed them after one season. Boa mechanics are just another thing that can break down. Laces are much more reliable. BTW, wet laces tighten up better than dry laces. You can tie a nail knot without a tool if you know what you're doing.

@FlyFishDan 14 дней назад

Yeah, I definitely avoid the two rods on tight small streams, more of a pain in the ass for sure. Great point on the BOA, I've experienced that too...but man, taking them on and off with the BOA makes it worth it!

@AnonymousOtters Год назад

I was with you until you got to the wading boots. Can entirely do without BOA. I've seen them break on multiple peoples boots, seen scraps of the mechanism on the shore and in parking lots at ski areas. No thanks. Regular laces are just fine and give a better fit, IMO

@FlyFishDan Год назад

Hopefullly my BOA's will keep working well - so much easier to take off and put back on!

@AnonymousOtters Год назад

@@FlyFishDan I remembered commenting, so just had to update. Went into Red's yesterday for new boots and literally broke the BOA on a brand new pair of Simm Guides boots just trying them on. The gentleman said, "Oh, I've never seen that happen before, but we do sell a replacement kit for them...." Needless to say, I went with some with laces, haha
