    Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!

    Never tried the strike indicator technique before, I'll have to try it. I have had some luck with the floating line technique.
    Another way that I do is to cast it out there on a sinking line then do a super slow troll with the rod tip at a 45° angle to my direction of travel, then I do a few small twitches bringing the tip to 90°. Then back to 45° letting the leech drop in the water column, that's when I get the most hits.
    Thanks for tips! Always appreciated.

      don't buy expensive sinking fly lines a waste of money... try a 6' furled leader (and berkley vanish fluoro as tippet) and yarn indicator to fly fish woolly buggers and bigger streamers much cheaper and sink nicely. good fly fishing lakes - heart lake and pass lake in anacortes, or grandy lake near hamilton

      That is a great tip! I need to fish sink tips more often - usually I just tie on extra leader to get me down...just so tough to cast! :)) Cheers!

      Great tip Brian! I have a few of those furled leaders - love fishing those for big game salt (Salmon, Bonefish, Tarpon, GT's) - FISH-ON!

    leeches and chronomids are my go to for still water. The first fly that I learned to tie was a micro leech.

      They are amazingly effective flies for sure. Thanks Kris for taking the time to watch!

    Thanks Dan, for warm water species I have used leech patterns many times, often with a faster, erratic stripping pattern. The takes can be awe inspiring.

    Thanks for the advice! I'm playing with balanced streamers on jig hooks for this exact purpose.

      Theyre very easy to tie. You can tie a balanced leech pattern with a jig hook, a small nail, a bead, thread, simi seal dubbing, and (optional) marabou

      @@stefg9161 the midnight fire by flyfish food is a good tutorial. You dont have to use multiple colors for the body either. You can either use marabou or the same dubbing for the tail.
