Wow thanks for the video, I’ll have to try the water bobber, nice golden trout you caught, glad you let it go. You’re good at fishing.

been watching your videos for quit a while, just enjoy them so much. the picture are so clean and sharp. I,m here in Southern Utah. yes the tigers are soo awsome. I dont ice fish but me and my buddy fish almost one a week from April to the middle of Nov. i,mgoing to have to try the water bobber thing this coming Spring. .Thanks for the great vdeos again.the old retired mastersargent.

Thanks Tyler another super helpful video!

That tiger at the start swam away like "Eh - no big deal!" Gorgeous fish!

Thanks for the video. I've had a water bobber in my kit for a while now. You have inspired me to get out and use it.

Very nice video !! thanks for sharing.

Thanks for another beautiful video! One thing I have done in the past when fish are being extra finicky is to put the bobber on a dropper so that I have a direct connection to the lure. Occasionally that is helpful. I have fished like this using Joe's flies (weightless spinner +fly) since I was a kid. It was a popular technique back in PA.

By dropper do you mean dropper loop? Similar to tying on a drop shot Thanks

​@@pdxfisher1 Do you use a 3-way swivel at all or do you simply tie the rig with a knot that split the line into 3 ways? Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

Looks like those trout would be brilliant fun on the fly

Can we get more trolling for trout on kayak video? They’re very informative! Thanks

Great video. Can you please tell me what size reel you recommend for this type of fishing? Thanks

What size was that bobber in the video? Nice job! Great technique!

How do you detect the strike? By looking at the water bobber or feeling on the line?

Great video what size bubble would you recommend 1/8 or 3/16 or 1/4 oz.

you ever figure it out? wondering myself

I notice my line gets wrapped around itself quite often with this technique. Same bobber with 3-4 foot leader down to fly. Not sure if it hangs up on cast or winds up on retrieve. I don't cast hard or whip it out there violently. Any suggestions?

I change my casting style to a sweeping cast rather than overhead and that helps

do you see or feel the take? gonna try this at a fairly big lake, wont be able to see my clear bobber. thanks for the nice video! :)

You can see it more than feel it. They make brightly colored version of this bobber to aid in detecting the bite

So when you use the water bobber. Is your wooly bugger weighted? Or Do you add a small split shot to weigh it down if your fly isn’t weighted? Or Is this more of a surface or upper water level presentation?

@spiltmilt

It really depends on the depth you want to target. Sometime I'll find trout feeding just subsurface and then I use an unweighted fly other times they are feeding deeper then I'll use a weighted fly or add a small split shot. They even make sliding water bobbers where you'll need to use a bobber stop but then you can fish much deeper.

@@spiltmilt Adding a split shot is OK, what I did was, get some tungsten puddy and mold a small piece on your line. You can regulate the size and of course the position to suit the situation.

I have a hell of a time trying to thread my line through those water bobbers. What’s the trick?

@flyguy2021

It can be tough on light line. I’ll sometimes use a length of heavier test with a loop at the end to pull the 2 or 4 pound test through.

If you flip the bobber, then it can’t unwind on the cast no matter how heavy or full the bobber is.

@stevedyer5902

Yes, the instructions say that the pointy end of the bobber should always face the rod.

Tyler, not one of your better videos. Couldn't see the bobber action. To me that is part of the excitement. You definitely live in a beautiful place. Hope I can get there someday. Looking forward to future videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

Isn’t it inverted the way you’re using it? Thank you

Try a more sweeping cast and just before your bobber hits the water flip your bail.

Why the water bobber over say, a regular bobber with some weight directly under it? Is it because the water bobber floats sideways on the surface?

It's much heavier and can cast much further without the need for lead.
