It drives me nuts as well, that’s why I knew I had to find a solution. I hope you are successful in finding them or at least something similar. I’m sure there are other ones on the market that will work.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing 🤙

@@OldDominionTroutBum thank you sir. Stuck some good ones for sure. Still kinda surprises me that those two fish were in basically the same spot. Must mean there is plenty of food to go around.

Thanks Cory. It was a good day. Been back since then and caught three bruisers. Video coming on that one in a few weeks.

@@bobmatuzak2263 I love everything about this! Thanks for the subscription. A twist tie is a pretty good solution as well. I’m sure there are other things that work too. I am a PSU alumn and try to get up to state college at least once a year to fish. This year it was as the rivers were approaching flood stage but I changed my strategy up and still found fish. Check out the Central Pa wild Browns video when you get a chance.

Thank you for the support! I wanted it to be a comprehensive guide but without fluff. It is awesome that you picked up on that. If you want more of this type of content, subscribing will keep you up to date with my new videos.

Awesome! Two quick questions….did you find them in store or online? Did you have any trouble finding them? I was trying to make it as easy for people as possible.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing In store, no trouble.

Thanks for the support Alex. I was really hoping to find them on Amazon to make it easy for people but it was most important to me that the ones I recommended work really well. Hope you find them!

Thank you Dale. I am a fan of stuff that works. I don't need it to be fancy, just serve it's purpose and help me catch more fish!

Great idea, they also work as great material clips to hold back long materials when tying streamers.

@@stn7w thanks Steve! Good to know.

That’s awesome! Glad to hear it worked well for you and that the channel was helpful. I would love to fish out that way sometime but so far I’ve fished on the east coast mostly. I hope to have a new video out tomorrow. Have a great trip to Yosemite and tight lines!

@@brooktoriverflyfishing the backcountry fishing in the eastern Sierra Nevada is amazing. it's only accessible after the snow melts out though. i treasure these four months or five months. tight lines!

Thanks man. I appreciate the support. The knot is a pitzen or 16/20 knot tied using my forceps. It is by far the strongest knot for light tippet that I have found. I used the clinch all the time as well until I had trouble with it breaking when I’d use 6x or less. You can find the video for that knot on old dominion trout bum’s UA-cam channel. Devin Olsen also has a video on tying it without the use of forceps on Tactical Fly fishing.

Fair point, thanks for the reminder. I did wrap up the long tangled piece and put it in my vest in between shots. However, the short pieces, when I was cleaning up the ends for the knot, fell in the water. I can always be more careful. Thanks.

I appreciate the support Dale. Thanks for watching!

Haha. Come on up man. Good times indeed!

Yes. For sure there are other factors. But for me, I start with the temperature. Low flows make some pockets too shallow for fish to hold safely and so on.

Sure did! One body checked me on the shoulder too around 11 minutes or so. The wild Rainbows at this river fight super hard and love to jump. I’ve been fish slapped in the face by a big one on a different trip to this river. Wakes you right up. Haha

Ohhhh! I like that idea! That way one is stiffer and one is smaller with more movement. I’m trying that next time. Thanks!

Also seems like it would make untangling a little easier if it does happen since one will be a little stiffer while the other should unwrap easily.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing Kelly Galloup's rotating dropper with the perfect loop I fond works well for keeping tangles down.But I use a fo8 loop dropper.I can tie a fo8 loop much faster with my forceps than a Perfection loop.

Thanks buddy. I appreciate it a lot. Just started a couple of months ago but I love making them. That DB is the 10’10” 2wt. I have one weight on the tilt for that rod. I also own the DB 10’ 2wt but I have a Galvan GEN 3.5 on that one. The tilt would be a little heavy for the 10 footer. It’s empty weight is 5.7oz and the Galvan empty is 4.9oz. I also use the TILT on the DB 10’ 10” 6wt for steelhead. I landed 25 of them in one day last year on that setup. I appreciate the support and please consider subscribing if you haven’t already.

Yeah, wading that river is no joke! Good boots and a wade staff are a must. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate it Dale. The dashes downstream certainly keep things interesting!

I haven’t had any issues with the Adams but it sounds like plenty of people have. I had lots of problems with the Sempe which is why I switched to the Adams. I am lucky to get out fishing more than twice a month. My stuff sits longer than I’d like sometimes. I have to check because I can’t afford to lose any fish on my precious fishing days because I’m lazy.

@brooktoriverflyfishing we've been getting a ton of rain here in NC. Every chance I get to go fishing, the streams are blown out. I've tried all sorts of leaders, I have a drawer full of different materials. I was wanting a few things from troutbitten and ordered his new hiviz standard leader just to try. Honestly, it's the best one I've found. His lengths are perfect, and I can see it, unlike Chameleon and its so more versatile than the micro stuff i was using. I couldn't tell the micro stuff improved my catch rate either if anything it went down. Now I need to buy even more so I can make my own hi-vi leaders Lol

@@stringtwister7654 if you are looking for a versatile do it all leader that would be a good choice. I talked about they some in my “how to set up a euro Nymphing rod” video actually. I prefer flat mono for strictly Nymphing since I don’t like any knots in my guides but a tapered leader definitely gives you more options. Hi viz sounds nice, I haven’t tried that avenue yet. The white Adams shows up pretty well in most circumstances but I’m always looking for more options.

Yeah I’ve been seeing the same thing. Honestly, that was my exact experience with Sempe which is why I switched to the Adams. I think it probably varies on a spool by spool basis but it is annoying for sure. The spool of Sempe I ordered was ok for the first trip. The second leader I tried to make a month later would not hold a blood knot no matter what I did. Haven’t used it since. I haven’t had any i issues with the Adams 4x so far and I used almost the whole spool. When this leader broke it was the slighter that snapped. My fishing days are too precious to me to lose fish because of a faulty leader.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing How often do you change your leader section (the ADAMS 4X) ?

@@stephanebogen5411 I test it before each trip and when it won’t hold a blood knot any more without breaking I swap it out for a new one. I have a leader wallet with 10 different leader configurations pre tied for different situations. I think I have three pre tied Adams leaders in there now. Some with sighter, some plain for use with markers, and some with tags.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing very organized :)

Very good reminders!

Thank you for watching and for the support. It sounds like we both like to experiment and try things for ourselves. I am always trying to up my game and try new things/techniques. I have listened to every single troutbitten podcast episode. Many of them up to 4 or 5 times. I love Dom's approach of "doing what works." I also have learned a ton from Cory at Old Dominion Trout Bum. I also love Devin Olsen's stuff and own all of his videos and book. There is so much to learn and every little nugget translates into more/bigger fish. Cory and I fish many of the same waters since we both live in Virginia. A few months ago he and I fished one of our favorite rivers a few weeks apart. We were literally catching the same fish, out of the same lies but on different bugs. I try very hard to be a versatile angler and I like the challenge of fishing new/different water. It keeps you sharp and on your game and you have to be ready for anything. I will throw on an indicator any time the situation dictates it and it is a very effective way to catch fish in certain water types. The Adams is currently my favorite leader material but I've been hearing good things about the new Umpqua stuff and want to try that out soon. I just got out yesterday for a whole day and landed 3 fish at 20" plus around 40 others. It will take me awhile to put together that video but it's going to be awesome. Thanks again for watching and tight lines. Look forward to hearing from you again in the future.

Thanks for watching Barry. Please share with your fishing buddies. Tight lines.

Virginia

Thank you sir! Please tell your buddies.

Thanks for watching and for the support Dale!

Thank you Steve! I appreciate it.

Thanks Jeff. That's the teacher in me. I really want to make content that is helpful to people. Just curious....what did you think of the "fishing facts" at the beginning? I was trying to think of a fun way to give people a snap shot of the day's information in a quick, different format.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing I really liked that! Nice touch!! Good idea!

@@brooktoriverflyfishing Quick question! What do you find sighter wise diameter to pair well with that Adam’s 4x mono?

@@jeffreyshafran5743 I have been using Cortland tri color indicator mono in the 7.2 lb. The diameter is .008 inches or .203mm which is just a little bit thinker than the adams 4x which is .185mm. You don’t really want you sighter to be much thicker than your leader but this combination has worked great for me for quite awhile. I’ve also been hearing good things about the new Umpqua sighter but haven’t tried it yet. Ideally whatever slighter you pick will be something that you can see well with a diameter that is similar to or slightly less than your leader diameter. If your sighter is a lot thicker than your leader you will be able to see it more easily but it won’t cast well due to a reverse taper.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing thank you very much for the reply! Appreciate it!

Haha. It’s like someone is reading my mind. You have had many of the exact same thoughts and problems that I have and even tried the same solutions. I have used the 4x and the 4.5x. I like the 4x better. It didn’t curl at all like the 4.5 did and I throw/strip jig streamers on it so if it’s too thin it’s hard to grab. Thanks for watching and if you have any other Nymphing buddies feel free to share my stuff with them.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. My goal was to make a comprehensive tutorial for people who were just getting into it. Sounds like you have done enough of it to experiment and find what you like. That’s great! I have had similar issues with the 4x adams making small cuts in my hand. I thought I was the only one! It’s slightly annoying and I have tried fishing a shorter leader with a euro line but I don’t like my drifts as much that way. I honestly just deal with it. I head that umpqua has some new mono and sighter out that’s supposed to be really good but I haven’t tried it yet. And yes, I hate knots in my guides so I fish a flat leader most of the time. I’m getting ready to put out another video before too long. Check it out if you get the chance. Tight lines man!

Thanks Dale! When I get my days to fish, I’m fishing no matter what. Figuring out the conditions is part of the fun.

Thanks for watching. It was a good, albeit quite wet day of fishing.

Thanks Steve! Kind of reminds me a trip to the western part of Virginia one time where we had to do some exploring to beat the weather.

I appreciate it man. Glad you like them. I’m having so much fun making them.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing I’m just trying to learn the fly fishing ways of the mono rig!! I enjoy how you break it down

@@jeffreyshafran5743 I was fishing a micro leader with 4x adams mono both days. Sometimes in heavy rain it helps to wrap the rod with mono to prevent your leader from sticking to it. Lots of videos about that on YT but not from me.

@@brooktoriverflyfishing thanks! I wanna try that Adam’s 4x and sighter setup!!

thank you!

Good advice

Thanks Richard! That's where we used them too. Those brand new 3D targets are no joke to get carbon arrows out of. And that was 25 years ago with a slow, old bow. I can't imagine how hard it is these days with the ultra-fast bows!

Sometimes simple is best. Thanks buddy!

Thanks Tony! And yes, good advice.....start out easy. Only use as much force as you need to.

Try candle wax

Thanks! Native Brook Trout live in some incredible places. The water quality has to be very good for them to survive so it is generally very clear. Glad you liked it!

Thanks Dale! I’m having so much fun learning and making them! New tricks each time.
