Nice to get an insight into what a competition fly fisher has in the magic box, and I thought I carried way too much tackle LOL.. great video keep them coming Rhys..how about a video on when you get to a totally unfamiliar water, whats the advice and go to methods to find that first elusive fish ?

Can certainly do that once the temps drop, assuming we don't go back into Lockdown.

Love the videos Rhys, I’m still fairly new to fly fishing and your videos have really helped. Say you’re fishing a sinking line and want to change to a floating line quickly how do you do it? Do you have a reel already set up ready to go? Or is there a quick method of getting the line off the spool and on your reel?

@RhysFishes

3 жыл бұрын

usually, for stillwaters I carry 3 set ups and one will have a floating line and another a sinking, so the change it quick and easy.

Show how you store them in the box Rhys, cheers mate

Hi Rhys, on your pre made up rigs, how do you tie the rig to braided loop? Also on you bung video it looks like your leader is a 15ft length of 8lb flourocarbon, do you not use a tapered leader to assist with turn over? Sorry for the basic question but just getting back into fly fishing Tx Kingsley

Hi Rhys love watching your channel full of information and keep up the good work. The airflow reel is it a 4/6 or 7/9 changing over to theses reels as like you I have a few lines .

Always interesting to look through another anglers tackle - thanks for sharing Rhys! Being an non-comp angler and just getting started (with a limited budget) if you were limited to 4 lines (fishing from an anchored boat), what would you choose? For weight-forward lines what length of head do you recommend? Cheers!

@RhysFishes

2 жыл бұрын

Floating line, sink tip. Fast glass and a DI5 would cover you for most scenario's on a trout season from a boat! I don't really pay much attention to the length of the head to be honest Hank

Thanks Rhys, have you ever tried Prestons Innovation power line for leaders? I think one or two of the top anglers are using it but keeping quiet. It’s a line that top carp men rate highly so why not for trout. I’ve been using it for years now and in my opinion it knocks the spots off most “game” lines. Cheers

Hi Rhys. Many thanks for all the videos. One question do you use loop connectors on the fly line to attach the leader? Because some of my friends remove the plastic of the fly line and make a small loop with the interior, they said it is more discreet. Cheers

@RhysFishes

I use a braided loop, I don’t think there’s much benefit to the way you recommended (on the waters I fish). Perhaps you fish more pressured waters?

@@RhysFishes I make competition nacional and international. Lake is not my best, my friends of the national team told me that using the fly line will make everything more discret and better for the line run between the rod rings. I prefer the braided loops because is more easy to apply on the lines, because the other method takes a lot of time.

Hi Rhys - A Blackwood boy here in Caerphilly! Question- You have 3 floating lines 7 weight and 2 number 6 rods does that mean you use the Reddington rod the most or put no 7 lines on your 2 no 6 rods. I'm looking for my next new no 7 wf floating for my new airflo switch black reel after seeing yours ...and it makes sense. Any advice? any recommendations? I'm thinking Airflo 40+. Love the channel.

My rods have slightly changed now to vision stillamaniacs however if i have a 6wt rod i'll usually overload it with a 7wt line as standard. No sciene behind it, just working with what i have as I try and keep kit to a minimum as best as possible. Airflo have a range of great fly lines to choose from.
