So, your advice is to find a boulder and cast; in front of it, either side of it, behind it, and further behind it. Got it.

Yes, I use to do it myself as well and always get a keeper from it.

Ok, this is the best breakdown of this I have ever heard bar none. I wish I had that knowledge this clear 40 years ago. Y’all have done amazing at unpacking everything about fishing. I have watched a lot of stuff but y’all have hit it out of the park. Keep it up, and if y’all ever find yourself’s in the Atlanta Metro area y’all always have a place. 😉👍

I have watched SO MANY videos about where the fish hang out and where to get your flies but this was the B E S T video of them all. For the 'guys', we are "visual", and this was the bomb! I'm sure the lady anglers learned a whole lot too... ya have to if you watch this! THANK YOU!

I just fished little red river and caught my first trout on a fly rod. Fish were rising all over the place. Got my first fish on a dry fly. Then I watched y’all’s dry dropper video and tied a 18 size midge. And started really catching them

This is definitely the best tutorial series for fly fishing I've seen. I really like how you guys have made this series easy to follow along with and enjoy while learning. Throwing in a little comedy here and there was nice too! lol The way you explained everything both in good detail and by making things simple made this series great. Thank you!!! Tight lines everyone!

Caught my first fish on the fly rod yesterday 😊 Beautiful wild rainbow. I had a collection of some crappy flies that have worked so far, but now i have your 122 piece kit ready to go for my next outing. I don't care what anyone says about your flies, that kit for $99 is a screaming value, especially for a new fly angler! Once I learn which flies really work for me, I'll probably be back to stock up on more of those.

Excellent explanation, thanks for the graphics too!!

I'm fishing a river with nothing but 20 foot plunge pools, and very challenging for a 70 year old to work through, but after two trips to it I've been encouraged by some (limited) slashes at the fly, but no takers. I was thinking of moving to a different type but more distant water, but the material presented here made me see my approach was far too methodical. "Work the seams then move on" means I simply should be covering more water, and that is a strategy and philosophy I hadn't yet implemented. I have a fresh mindset to take to the water next week! Thanks!

Confirms allot of what I found in the streams around my home. Pocket water fish your feet first, and bigger gaudier flies (because the fish don't have much time to inspect fly but need to see the fly so don't be subtle) Also in warmer weather the rapids and bubby water hold more oxygen so the bigger more dominant fish will be there. My personal best brown trout came from a tight pocket on the Ruakituri river NZ 10lb and barely fitted in that pocket :)

The thumbnail, and this entire video, are perfection 😂🎉

The real mind blower is when you start fishing everything and find trout even sitting in fast white water garbage. Eventually you learn the spots and patterns in each river but they can truly sit anywhere.

Great tutorial with graphics and awesome fishing follow-up to put it all together. I am now a subscriber to your YT channel. Thank you!

Love to see a video on your take on wading pockets - particularly freestone? I fish some steep waters dropping off Dartmoor here in the UK and wading with confidence in these conditions is sketchy!! What do you guys think?

@venturesflyco

Yup the wading is more difficult, but its rewarding because not a lot of other anglers want to do it. Less angling pressure = better fishing. haha Be careful out there!

You are virtually using the Tenkara method of fishing with the minium amount of leader out on the water, I do the same with my rod when working a narrow part of the river. Tight lines from the other side of the pond.

Yup. Pretty similar when fishing pocket water. Just nice to have the reel when you get to another part that requires a longer cast. 🤙🏽

Just out of curiosity do you always fish with a dry dropper?

@venturesflyco

Spencer’s go to is the hopper dropper. If there are a ton of fish rising, he’ll go to just a dry. If there is no bug activity or low likelihood of fish eating off the top… he’ll resort to a nymph rig… eventually. Haha.

Is an 8 wt rod okay or too much for bass fishing?!

Might be a little to much for bass. You’d probably be better off with a 6 wt.

It sorta depends what kind of bass fishing you're doing. If you're hucking streamers and going after large mouth, an 8wt. is actually just about perfect. But if you're going after smallies and nymph fishing, you might have a harder time vs. having a 6wt.

The bigger fish will only come off the rock late in the day.

The seam starts at the rock. If you are casting nymphs you always and must cast at the rock. I've caught more fish than you.
