New Fly Fishing Odyssey

New Fly Fishing Odyssey

Hi! I started Fly Fishing in 2019 and it's become an obsession ever since. I fish from the sea to high country...which makes for some pretty spectacular locations. I'll try to document my journey and hopefully provide some inspiration to go fish!

I'm new to the video world but please check out my instagram to see some of my previous trips.

    Is this the Kennedy Meadows campground at the end of Windy Springs Road ?? The trail you hiked to the river, is this the Pacific Trail trailhead that runs thru the campground??? Motocamped (motorcycle) a few years ago on July 4th weekend. Amazing, barely 1/4-1/3 campsites in use whereas Fish Creek and Troy Meadows were full to capacity with the rowdy off-road crowd. To my knowledge the creeks were mostly dried up due to the long drought. Nice video, tight lines!!

    Coming from the 395 is the easiest. Going up from kernville is prob more scenic but it’s more of a mountain drive. So I prob would wait for summer going that way.

    Long Lake in bishop pass prob has slightly bigger ones. But I don’t think any of the lakes in those areas are known trophy brookie lakes. Maybe one of those labeled fish less in little lakes could have some holdover that has no competition.

  • @newflyfishingodyssey
    @newflyfishingodyssey2 ай бұрын

    The one I used here was an opst 9ft 9in 3wt. I bought it for backpacking so it needed to be around 10ft and a 3wt. Surprisingly that isn’t a super common combination. I tried taking an 11ft 4wt up before and it was a little too bulky.

  • @chowboy44
    @chowboy442 ай бұрын

    @@newflyfishingodyssey yeah from the research that ive done, it seems you double the weight of the rod to the pound fish you plan on catching....so a 2 wt=4lb fish, 3=6lb fish and so on. I know im not lucky enough to catch a golden any bigger than 6 so a 3wt would be perfect... thanks for the response, a bit too much for a b/c rod for me tho...Ill probably end up with the echo sr...thanks for the response bud. Good luck this good season

    what happens when you break your leader off, do you retry a new leader on thewelded loop? and also is it ok to use floating line for lake fishing?

  • @newflyfishingodyssey
    @newflyfishingodyssey2 ай бұрын

    Usually they don’t break the whole leader. So you just tie one more tippet to make up the lost length. Lake fishing really depends on how deep they are feeding. If you see a lot of surface feeding or cruisers, floating line is fine. You can fish deeper by getting a sinking tip that attaches to your loop. If the water is pretty clear you can actually get them to come up from deeper than you expect.

    In 1987 I spent a summer fishing various lakes that were in canyons that were pretty rough to walk into in that region. Caught my first and only grayling at 1 of them. And came face to face with a bull elk on the trail down to the lake. We both jumped and ran in opposite directions.
