I wanted to share a couple quick tips people taught me early on in my fly fishing career. Looking forward to seeing more of these trout videos. -When you’re nymphing, you should use an indicator until you really get the hang of it. Set your indicator depth around 1.5x the depth of the water, more or less depending on speed of current. General rule of thumb is you should catch a rock 1 out of every 5 or 10 casts. Snagging every cast you’re too deep, never snagging you’re set too shallow because those fish sit on the bottom. Roll cast to easily get unsnagged. -Set the hook if that indicator even slows a bit, it’s not like a popping cork. They don’t need to eat on it, and will spit it almost instantly. -Keep as much of your fly line off the water as possible. If you’re sneaky, you can catch tons of fish without ever letting your fly line touch the water. Fish within no more than 5 yards of you at the start. Follow over that indicator with your rod tip and make sure your indicator is the same speed as the bubbles on the water. Long casts will come with more drag that will drag your flies faster or slower than the current and look unnatural. Any time you have a bow in your line, you will have drag. You will get the hang of mending when you get a bow in your line. -When you’re starting out I would keep fly selection simple. For nymphing, size 16 pheasant tail or size 20 midge are almost always going to match the forage for trout, and chances are that improving your technique will be more important than perfect fly selection early on. -Check out some videos on European nymphing. It is done without an indicator using heavy flies that your keep tension on as you pull them the speed of the current. I would caution away from getting into this too quickly, but it might be right up your alley.

Thank you Sir, crazy how little I know about this world! Thank you for watching

Was tearing up the specks (big ones) around the Clear Lake area today. Looks like a German brown. I grew up in Washington State and caught all the trout species and the ones returning from the ocean to spawn, it's super fun. Enjoying the Texas Galveston areas these days (miss Ya''ll's Texas vids).

We miss it too! Thanks for watching the new stuff

Yup, rainbow are more silver with a red stripe down the middle. Brook Trout are another beautiful trout species if you ever get a chance to catch.

Thank you!! I hope to be lucky enough to catch them all..LOL only problem is I'll need you Guys to help me identify them!! 😂

I’m those smaller waters you can go a long way with roll casting and high sticking the fly line to keep it from dragging your fly and giving it a natural float. Also better to position yourself to cast upstream. Congrats on your first, looked like a brook trout

Awesome, thank you!! I'll Google a roll casting vid. I appreciate the advice and thanks for watching

Nice work! Research mending the line, you always want the fly to look like it’s naturally floating down the river. You never want the floating fly line dragging or slowing down your fly. And you also don’t want your line floating faster increasing the speed of your fly. It’s a hard balance but presentation is more important than fly selection! Nice work keep at it.

Thank you for the advice!! I'll research mending right now!

I suggest that you find a local to teach you about the area.

No sir I didn't!!! We caught a 29" on camera it's on one of the Quest vids. But we never landed the dirty 30

When I first seen the fish knee it wasn’t a trout they are colorful ! Nice work though
