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!!!

Nice place to Kayak and fish. I own a Blackfoot 180 , I am in my 4th year, and I am still impress by the stability and easiness to use it. I am fully geared to fish, and, most of the time I kayak, I have a line trailing. And , for me, The Blackfoot180, is the very best kayak for my wife and I. Have fun on the water, but stay safe !

Beautiful day on the lake, Dan! I love your positive outlook, even when you & your buddy almost sank 12 yrs ago. Thanks for sharing your adventures!!

Thanks Brady - I appreciate that. I was an adventure for sure that day! You are most welcome, more to come :))

Hahaha. Moral of the story, keep changing patterns and tactics until you've realized you've brought a banana in the boat!

Lol - I know right?!? Thanks for watching Geek of All Trades!

@PeachyFlyFishing 2 года назад

Lovely video Dan, well made! I'd definitely suggest a PFD for your next investment, if you go down in that lake with waders on you would probably sink like a stone and have little hope of regaining the surface. Here in Oz it's actually illegal to kayak without a pfd on most waters. But I do love my kayak fly fishing! :)

@FlyFishDan 2 года назад

That is good advice - picked one up today as a matter of fact. I'll be wearing it on my next trip out. Cheers!

@Sainte305 Год назад

Are you ever concerned about errant hooks puncturing the kayak and leaving you floating to shore?

@FlyFishDan Год назад

I have hit my kayak (very hard) with a big streamer, and it just bounces off. Super thick material thankfully.

@Sainte305 Год назад

@@FlyFishDan Good to hear. I’ve been considering the Jonny Bass 100 and the Crescent Shoalie, so I may need to add this to my list.

@brandondaniels9471 2 года назад

Just curious. How do you dry out the kayak after you're done? I'm planning on buying the exact same kayak next week. Thanks :-)

@FlyFishDan 2 года назад

Yes! You definitely need to dry it out if it's going to be stored deflated for any amount of time (weeks), otherwise mold could set in. Feel free to use my coupon code (FLYDAN15) and save 15%!

@jacksievers2467 5 месяцев назад

Nice Video, interesting you took a kayak to a spot to "fish from the shore" any thoughts of fishing from the kayak ? I often "troll" from my float tube or small inflatable pontoon. Anyway, appreciated your video of this location.

@FlyFishDan 5 месяцев назад

You bet! The toughest part of fly fishing from a kayak is keeping it in the same spot, unless it’s dead calm (no wind) you wind up all over the place and a double anchor system is a pain to manage.

@owenjones7620 2 года назад

Thanks for the great video, is it possible to fit another chair and use the blackfoot 130 as a tandem kayak, I'm 6,1 my partner is 5,7, I really do like the stability and build quality, I do occasionally fish but I'd probably be using mainly for touring with my partner.. Any chance you could give me your opinion or perhaps do a video with an extra seat fitted in the bf130, I've searched and searched for some information and photos or even videos, still no such luck 🤞

@FlyFishDan 2 года назад

I don’t believe so - not long enough and the support tie downs for the chairs aren’t spaced far enough apart to allow for a safe balance for two chairs/paddlers. They make a two person Blackfoot (160) and my coupon will still work for that boat. Hope that helps!

@cordelmar 2 года назад

Wen you shoed the banana I started to laugh. I had a real bad experience on my ocean goin boat,, I took some guys fishing a few mile out and wen we got to my favorite spot one guy says hey all the bait is dead in the bait tank, then one of the batteries blows up, and then we start taking on water, so while I m in engine hole pumping out water I said did any of you guys bring any Bananas. On the way back the bait tank pump started working again. Needles to say I rewired everything with new wires.

@FlyFishDan 2 года назад

Wow - crazy story! Thanks for sharing that!

@ryanpuddy1626 2 года назад

What do you use to keep your feet warm when you’re in the float tube in the winter. Great videos. Thanks!

@FlyFishDan 2 года назад

Thanks Ryan - I use hiking sock liners and smartwool socks. The key is to try not to have things too tight in the boot - that's what causes your feet to quickly get cold. Cheers!

@jackz5846 Год назад

Hey mate. I got the Chelan. I thought you were supposed to inflate the sides first?

@FlyFishDan Год назад

I find it tough to secure the bottom when the sides are full of air - I inflate the bottom first on the Blackfoot
