How to fly fish a fast run

In this video, I take you along to a fast run on a small river in July. I break down where the fish are most likely to be and how I go about covering the various holding lies to try and be as productive as possible. I also cover using pendulum casts and bow and arrow casts to get flies into tight spots.

I really appreciate the screen arrow an line overlays to highlight what you are talking about in the video. This is very helpful to reinforce the message.

This video content should not only be taught to all fly fishers, or should be a case study in business school for how to properly do content that gives a brand authority and attracts lifelong fans.

Just like your book- a video illustrating the chapter on fishing runs. Good stuff

[@markm668]

Good to have you back, I missed your wisdom!

Thanks for sharing!! This is a great video and I love the way you take time to explain in details on how to fish just a small section of a river. Being a beginner I will say I love seeing the drawings and the explanation on how to rig the set up you are using. That helps me so much! Thank you!!

Thanks Devin, this is a great video showing your thought processes on how to fish varying types of water. I was particularly impressed with how a simple change in weight can lead to success and how you process through all the scenarios until you come up with the right answer. The section on using the dry dropper is very instructive since I've struggled with this technique on occasion. The leader set-up clarified and reinforced some of the answers to questions about the technique that you helped me with previously. Many thanks!

Yet another great video Devin. Thanks for the river breakdown commentary and your thoughts as you moved upstream.

Thank you for spreading your knowledge and fishing techniques. Excellent

[@dalesheehan9404]

Thanks Devin! I’ve been trying to be patient and make sure I methodically pick apart each stretch I fish and this video gives a great example of that. I Always enjoy your lessons!

[@judybeen]

Great video that covered so many elements and nuances of euro nymphing. You’re an excellent teacher!

Hey Devin thank you for another on the water tutorial, they are really helpful. I like how you mark the areas from above and use prompts like your book. Its a great read but I've also found it to be a great reference book that one can go back to several times. Order this book, you'll never regret it. Thank you again.

Thanks, Devin! It's really helpful that you are so patient and complete in describing what you're doing, or attempting to do at times. The graphics also really help identify where in the river your comments apply. Like Joe below, I'd also like to hear a bit about the Adams leader system, particularly how it relates to your traditional leader formulas, which I use.

Devin, you are the best at explaining what you are doing and why. I've been fly fishing for over 40 years, I was taught by Dave Rothrock up in Pa. I'm sure many will benefit from your ability to communicate how to read the water. Well done!!

Thanks! As always, appreciate the education as I look into the Nymphing game.

Beautiful, detailed video. Thank you! Love the humility of not insisting on showing some big fish being pulled out of the spots and seams near the slab that you worked so patiently up to. Those spots transpose almost directly to a place I fish often, so it was very interesting to see how you approach it. The video is more about fishing the slower seams around a fast run, than it is fishing the fast run itself (which is what I expected from the title). I'm sometimes amazed at fish I find holding in turbulent water -- more turbulent than anything in this video -- so I'm surprised you didn't address those faster currents more. Then again, I find success happens in those places when it's warmer, and it looks like a cooler day there. I just love the detail and the methodical approach you share. Wonderful stuff.

Great presentation. Very informative and helpful. Thank you!

[@blackflycreations]

Great demonstration Devin! You've taught me I need to slow down and pick each run apart with depth and presentation. Thanks for sharing👌

Thank you for editing the video to show exactly where you are fishing with those red crosses.

[@jaked6474]

Thanks for the quality educational content.
