Today I set out with a simple goal, to learn if I could catch more fish with conventional gear, or a fly rod. At the end, it doesn't matter, fish in a way you enjoy!
Living through your vids as I recover. FYI- I tossed a bass in from 3 ft on one of my vids and the us embassy called me about fish cruelty 😂 people were really pressed about a 3 ft fall into deep water. Rant over.
The answer is yes. You don't need an expensive $1000 flyfishing setup to catch fish. The only advantage of flyfishing is being able to cast dry flies far. If you get to indicators, whats even the difference at that point..
Fly fishing doesnt have to be expensive, I’ve caught fish on cheap and expensive rods. Never had a thousand dollars in rods. Just a preference. Neither is right, neither is wrong.
Definitely not the only advantage…. I use fly gear in lakes and outfish guys trolling wedding rings. casting weightless wet flies on a sinking line is deadly
I think its worth the hassle, the joy and subtle feeling is unique. But i do it not much these days. Use my spinrod more i live in holland and fish for different species then you i must admit
@@606OnTheFly hi brother i mostly fish for carp or pike. The carp thing is a nice way to camp outside but actual fishing i mostly do with my spinrod i live next to THE big pike lake of the netherlands. But that is a big big lake so its often just being out and not catching all the time. Whats your favorite species?
That’s really cool, I’ve actually never caught a carp or a pike. My favorite fish to target are smallmouth bass, and occasionally I run in to Muskie fishing for them
