Enjoy..

As you know George the whole strategy to fly fishing is making that fly look alive the whole time it's in the water ..so I know it's difficult teaching a young lad !Iis tenacious at times, but always rewarding,learning a technique to hook up more fish

Fact..

Truly a lost art here in the states,swinging wets jigging wets ,everyone is tight lining it seems I love letting that hook it self ,they strike so vicious.

Thanks 👍

Great instructional video. I do tenkara fly fishing here in Japan on rivers about that size (getting mostly rainbow and browns). While my technique is lacking this video is a representation of what I try to do!

Welcome Carl,hope you enjoy the vids.

Very effective technique George. Mending the line upstream as someone suggested wouldn't solve anything as the different velocities of the current, especially if in mid-stream, would skate the fly in a rapid, unnatural arch. Hence the reason for down and across with the rod held high and as little line in contact with the water as possible as you so expertly explained.

Will do,stay tuned.

That’s how I learned to fish from my father. As the years went by, I started fishing more Dryfly, upstream. I still fish down and across for sea trout. Great video for all

How about a list of the best wet flies similar to your list of nymphs and dry flies .

Good idea Pat,stay tuned.

Love this tutorial format George...very helpful indeed...is using a slightly longer light rod (say 10ft 3 #) for holding light fly lines off the water a good idea?..look forward to more tutorial sessions from your experiences using dries, nymphs etc if that works for you...thanks a lot

Glad it was helpful,and yes indeed a slightly longer rod helps with holding the line off the water.

Great video again. I’ll be giving that a bash next time out

Let us know how it goes, tight lines.

If you want a long drag free drift, quarter upstream, and mend.

That would work ok in slow moving water, not so in this case.

@@springerspanielful I live in Montana.That water in the video is (relatively) slow moving water. On a straight run. How much easier could it be to quarter upstream? It's not like you are fishing rapids.

Very helpful vidio
