Slaying Brook Trout - High Desert Lake, WA (Nov 2024)
A warm November day fly fishing from my Watermaster Bruin at one of Washington's high desert lakes. Surrounded by stunning scenery, plenty of cloud cover with intermittent rays of sunshine, and temperatures in the low 60s, it was an amazing day on the water-the kind where the first fly you tie on is the last.
Setup:
- Rod: G Loomis NRX+ 4100-4
- Reel: Abel Vaya 5/6
- Fly Line: SA Amplitude MPX WF4
- Fly Pattern: Purple Balanced Squirrel Leech (Fulling Mill)

    This is cool as shit. City boy here with so many questions… 1. There isn’t a reel on your pole… is this unique to this style of fishing? 2. I don’t know fly fishing but I have seen a river runs through it, they seemed to keep the fly in the air a lot but you set it on the water, I’m guessing the movie was lies? 3. Is your line super thick compared to normal fishing? 4. Am I seeing things or how did you get the line and bait out of the water so easily 5. Do you use bait or a lure?

    • @flyholics
      @flyholics 5 місяців тому

      Great questions! 1. There is a reel, it’s just lower than my hand on the rod. In fly fishing the reel merely holds the line, you use your hands as a reel. (Unless its a big fish) 2. The fly is only in the air when being casted. It is placed on top of the water (to imitate a bug sitting on top of the water) where the trout will eat it. 3. Fly line has a nylon core coated with plastic. This gives it weight to cast the small, unweighted or lightly weighted, flies. Essentially you are casting the weight of the line, not the weight of the lure as in traditional fishing. 4. In this video I am using 2 dry flies, so 2 flies that sit on top of the water. The splashes you see right before I set the hook are the fish coming up and eating the fly off the top. Right now, I have no lures below the surface so it’s easy to pickup and re cast 5. Lures. Fly fishing is all about using thread, feathers, wire, and other materials to imitate bugs that the fish will eat. No scent or bait is used. I’m no expert, but I’ve learned a few things. I would suggest looking up Mad River Outfitters on UA-cam. They have a series that teaches all about fly fishing. It’s where I learned to fly fish! Tight lines!
