You are using indicator rig upstream in high water and cutting the drift short. That makes it hard to target deep bigger crevices where the bigger fish wait. You are picking up smaller ones that can wait behind a little rock in the shallower water.

Hello love videos what river would you recommend for someone that is disabled that can’t walk the rocks the big rocks to fly fish thanks for the help
@johntuttle954413 күн бұрын
I saw you fishing a Frenchie so go to Fly Fish Food and watch the originator tie one up. Super Simple pattern and by changing colors you can really cover them all. Between a Frenchie/Pheasant tail, Walts Worm/Hare's Ear and thread or foil Perdigons and you have 90% of small Euro nymphing covered. All you need is quailty bobbins, whip finisher and scissors I would recommend Loon. After that unfortunately, materials and hooks and tungsten beads start adding up. I good jig hook in 12-16 and some gold slotted beads etc all come in ~$10 packs. So it migth cost $40 for the materials for one style of fly, but you can tie as many as you have hooks and beads and can afford. The per fly cost is very low, but you end up with tons of feathers and dubbing etc. Apparently you already have a vice but don't skimp on tools. Buy good ones and you'll enjoy using them for many years.
