Early Season Dry Fly fishing 

Thanks for watching ...

Thanks mate , Thanks for watching

Thanks, will do!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Rob .. Shame it wasnt like that for us Thursday !

Thanks . Its a method well worth sticking with . I found the best way to get confident on the dries was to try them for an hour every session I was out . Eventually you will start to get results . Thanks for watching

I glad you enjoyed the vids , thanks for watching and supporting the channel;

Thanks mate . It’s nice to get on the water to do the vids .. we should get together for another one soon mate .

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 Will be in touch pal!

Have fun!

Its the best way to get them !

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 👍👍

Thanks for watching . Yea its hands down my favourite way to fish the small and big lakes .. Just editing a new dry fly vids at the moment !

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769yeah I love flying fishing more than any other fishing and I'll be making sure that i have my coffee beside me to relax and enjoy it with a smoke or 5 can't wait Tim 👍

lol Doesn't always go to plan ! Best way to get them !! Thanks for watching !

I prefer hoppers later in the year . They have a bigger profile and lay flatter in the water .. these emergers really dig in and hang vertical which I think is important ... Had some superb sport on the popper hoppers on Grafham last year August onwards !

Hi Allen , I'm glad the vids help . Ok basically don't bother with tapered leaders at all unless fishing rivers ! .. Straight fluorocarbon from the spool is the best way to go . If you decide to try a team of flies use the same fluorocarbon for the droppers with a 3 turn water knot . Keep it simple . Tapering leaders is absolutely unnecessary in day to day fishing situations on still waters . If you have any issues with turnover then the best way to sort this out is to have an hours casting lesson as there is usually an issue here . Thanks for watching .

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 Thanks Tim, as a sea angler who just started fly fishing. I had the exact same question and this has answered it perfectly. I just couldn't see how a tapered leader would make any difference to my beginner casts on still water.

7WT outfit , medium action rod .. the Wychwood T2 and connect series Rocket floating line ... perfect for the job

Yes its the Wychwood connect series Rocket floater .. I rate them highly , and they are the right price ! Floating line prices are getting out of hand !! Well worth an investment if your looking to renew . Thanks for watching

need eyes in the back of your head some days ! lol

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 lol

Its the wychwood boatman bag . Excellent bit of kit and highly recommended . Been using them for years , way before my involvement with the brand .

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at them.

So make sure to religiously de grease .. this can be a reason for refusals . Also try changing the fly size , go smaller or bigger ... these are usually reasons for refusals . I tend to use size 10s early and late season and 14s and 16s the rest of the year .

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 thanks bud

It helps but you must degrease especially in a flat calm . Those were Size 10s . Foam is about 4mm .. big enough to keep them up . Check out the link to the tying vid

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GEyDpcI4yD4.html there's the link to my vid on making degreasant . Hope it helps .

It varys depending on the conditions but in a nutshell I will dry and gink the flies after every fish or when the fly becomes waterlogged . I degrease the leader often , especially in a flat calm .. some days I maybe doing it every 10 casts other days only once in a session ! Whenever the leader fails to sink I will degrease .. it does make a huge difference to catch rates and only takes a second ..... A note about using floatant / gink .. less is more .. too much gink can have a negative effect and actually sink the fly , I find drying the fly on my shirt or an Amadou patch much more effective than constantly re applying ..

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 ok thanks for that very helpful hopefully try it out next week at wimbleball along with the buzzers

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TqiogLVzjOk.html Hope this helps mate ... simple and effective

You would need to contact the fisheries about that . Thanks for watching

Three turn water knot for droppers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TqiogLVzjOk.html
