Buying my first FLY FISHING combo (under $100)

Stepping out of my comfort zone for a solo fishing mission in south Florida targeting peacock bass! Fly fishing for the first time with a $100 budget.
Thanks to @rys_fliesclt for tying up some awesome flies!

  • @michaelhoney5759
    @michaelhoney57592 ай бұрын

    One piece of advise when fly fishing is the always keep the line under your right index finger after you have casted and stripping the line in. Hopefully that makes sense. Looking good so far! Also work on roll casts when you have trees or brush behind you so you don't snag as much. Check out Mad River Outfitters for a ton of good instructional videos on techniques from beginner, to intermediate all the way to advanced👍

  • @seanryan6462
    @seanryan64622 ай бұрын

    A good rule of thumb learning to cast is to back cast to 10o'clock and forward cast to 2o'clock and remember to wait for the line to load on the back cast. Don't be afraid to strip out enough line for your full casting distance and let it sit on the ground at your feet. It will allow you to get your line out faster and save you making too many false casts.

  • @binaryfiend
    @binaryfiendАй бұрын

    Cool to see you've started your own channel. I wish you success. One tip, the line doesn't get pulled off the spool like other reels. You pull the line out before you cast and let it lay on the ground in front of you. When you cast, all that line on the ground will follow along, and you'll be able to cast as far as the line you have out.

    loop to loop means both lines have pre formed loops and you join them by passing the loops through each other. roll casting is how you deal with trees and the point to fly fishing is you don't winch them onto the bank with force but with skill

I mainly fly fish and you guys have got me "hooked" on bait casters and spinning rods for bass fishing now. I live up in Bend Oregon (Mountain town with many lakes and rivers and breweries lol) I just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration, and I would love to film with you guys one day. If you are ever looking to come to the PNW him me up. I'll reach back up once the channel is off and running. All the best, and stay safe! Keep up the good work:)

    Insanely good results for your first time! You did better than you think. Gotta keep that floating line running through the fingers on your right hand. Controls tension and frees up your left hand to strip and make adjustments. Casting is still something i struggle with on light flies, all practice and figuring out how to load the little weight it is. Stay bent brother :)

    I watched a series on public television to learn how to cast and some guy helped me out while fishing a pond in Colorado. My first combo was a Pflueger rod/reel with a five weight line. I haven't used a flyrod in twenty years except for once when I was catching carp by throwing out a line with weight by hand so I wouldn't wreck my line

    Just some advice. Practice casting in an open field. And secondly when stripping in your line keep the line tucked under your right pointer finger. And strip with your left hand So right hand permanently mounded to the fly rod with the fly line tucked under the right pointer finger Take your left hand and strip some line in and drop go back strip more line etc. you can reel the fish in this was as well instead of using the reel I hope this makes sense keep up the good work
