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!!!

Great video - thanks for all the effort. I cracked up when I got to the part about what gear you need as a beginner. Dumping the contents of the gear bag on the table was hysterical! That was me when I first started.

Downstream presentations can be best because trout prefer to eat sculpin head first due to their spines. Winter time it can be about downstream casts and slooow swings :)

I'm 83 years old and have a real problems pinching the leader into the Thingamabobber indicator. Any tricks? I have a tippet rings at the end of my leaders so I can't use a single thread in and out trick. You are a great teacher! Thankyou for your great props!

Thanks Tom, I would check out OROS indicators. They are round in shape and the line simply is placed down the center of the indicator and the two half spheres screw together. Hope that makes things easier!
Hey Dan - thanks for all the great videos! Curious about the status of your trailer: having had a trailer for many years, fire was always in the back of my mind.

So I live in Florida and I started fly fishing back in June and I don’t have a lot saltwater flies and the only shop on the island I live on is like very expensive like 3 flies for 30 bucks so basically 10 dollars a fly. I do have a lot of freshwater flies tho. Would freshwater flies work in like a brackish water creek?

Thanks for the video, Dan. I didn’t get there explanation on balanced leeches. I backed up the video a couple of times, but I didn’t get the explanation. Are you saying you use two leeches instead of one??🤷🏼♂️
Great video! One question - when you buy a 9ft tapered leader, do you add a couple of feet of tippet at the end of it right away? Or do you wait until the tapered leader gets shorter and then add a tippet to get it back to 9 feet again? Just a bit confused whether just the tapered leader, or leader + tippet needs to be around 9 feet long.
@FlyFishDan
Жыл бұрын
Typically, I am fishing just the 9' tapered leader. I will add tippet when I begin to shorten the leader through tying on different flies throughout the day. Sometimes, if I need to get down deeper under the indicator, I will tie on 3 feet to the end of the 9' tapered leader to reach down a bit deeper. Cheers!
