Fly fishing for smallmouth bass on the St. Louis River fly fishing with Venture North, PBS Ch.8. www.arrowheadflyangler.com http
Hey, I’m new to fly fishing and I’m trying to order some wooly buggers. I have a 9 FT 7 weight rod and reel outfit and I was wondering what size hooks I need. I want a size that i can use both on Trout and Largemouth Bass.. Thanks in advance.
I agree the art of fly fishing for any fish is more about the whole package,getting outdoors,spending time with friends,and catching fish is what’s it all about.
thank you for a peaceful video. that is the truth about fly fishing.
Nice flies bro-good technique. Looks like a blast and you hit it on the head with the relaxing part—nothin’ better.
Good video John. I just subscribed to your channel.
I’d be surprised if there’s ANYTHING you could throw that they wouldn’t hit if it’s moving!
I would NOT use a strike indicator. I nearly caught pickerel that were hanging onto a bobber while spin fishing.
If it moves a pickerel will hit it. That said, I’d bet a wooly ****** or a muddler would tear’em up.
i just got into fly fishing and im wonderin which fly is best for pickerel
Hey man i made that same fly,,but it was about 8 inches longer than yours,and it works great for 60lb giant trevally in hawaii,poppers work great man ,nice job.
You’re right, he bends his writ, and swings his arm a bit too far back.
not really
They’re not even comparable. Fly fishing is SOOO much more than just setting the hook on a fish.
Oh yeah i’m sure thats the way it is. I would get nervous too. Didn’t mean anything derogatory by it. Great vid by the way.
I kid around with John (the guy casting) a lot about his casting in this video. He’s normally a very good caster, but when the tapes rolling, it’s much different. This was all filmed in one day, lots of pressure to catch a fish while the film is rolling
. You feel like you need to be perfect, instead of being just being relaxed and natural.
He’s a great fisherman and fly tier, but his cast could use a lot of work.
wow i fell like im watching tv not the regular crappy youtube vids
Fly fishing is so much better than normal fishing.
I agree with atstsu and hatterasdream, he is not a good caster. at about 1:40 into the video you see him dumping his back cast. I would be afraid to be in the same boat with him.
You did a great job inside the film. it is a pleasure to see a good clip about ouer passion.
thx from northern germany
i have to try that

how do you tie the estaz crayfish?

The first one was an Estaz Crayfish pattern he created.
