    Thank you! In this video, where the highlights come from, about one minute and six seconds into the video I show all the flies I used. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qmWn19eih9vPnZM.html The ones that caught for me were the Tailwater Titan, Prism Torch, OP Prism Torch, the Olive Nymph, and on the dry was the small mayfly.

    Great day out there, looked to be a good call. You got me excited for what's to come, I'm still messing around in Stillwater. It's interesting that we all see colors a bit differently. I need to play around more with indicator colors, because that low light situation always messes with me.

    @familyflyties39132 ай бұрын

    Yes, this is Brahma hen hackle. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anyone with this particular style of hackle. I spoke with a Fly Shop in California who had Olive and Orange, but not the March Brown and they said they hadn't seen these in stock for over a year. I use a Whiting Farms soft hackle now that is similar looking to Brahma Hen.

    I didn't read slowly enough to specify where I parked. I parked at Little Hole and the first day went down river on Section B. Next day parked at little hole and walked 2 miles up before we started fishing. Third day, near the dam and walked downstream and then fished up.

  • @familyflyties3913
    @familyflyties39132 ай бұрын

    My apologies for the confusion. That's awesome you are just getting into fly fishing! It's definitely worth getting into. With Euro nymphing they have what is called "siter" and the siter I'm currently using is "Cortland Indicator Mono". In this video I'm using 13 lbs siter. I have moved to 7 lbs siter for better control fishing further out. I attach the siter with a perfection loop 1-2 feet longer than my rod length. I have a 9' rod so my siter is 10-11 feet. At the end of the siter I attach a tippet ring and then tippet for my flies. This way I can use an indicator still for waters I find better to indicator fly fish, and then waters that are better for euro nymphing I simply remove the indicator and then tight line. Ask any other questions you may have.
