Yea that’s correct, they aren’t designed for reusing sadly. A good alternative is to take a static bung and remove the bend of the hook if needed and just buy float stoppers
The longer I done Flyfishing for trout, the more I appreciate the importance of using the proper float/indicator. The brits seem to do more stillwater fishing than we do. These Fario floats seem perfect and easy to use.
I am a competitor from Canada. Unfortunatly the bung isnt allowed in competitions here. It was but last National, they deicided to change the rules. Your videos on stillwater fishing are absolutly the best out there. Continue the good work !
I'm relatively new to fly fishing but have been going regularly and it's my new favourite hobby. I started about 5 years ago and stopped but have picked it up again a couple of months ago and so far out of 4 or 5 trips, I'm yet to blank which is hopeful! Went to garn fishery the other day and it was really hard going, everyone was using bungs and catching loads and I didn't have any or know how to use them! I stood in 45mph winds getting hammered by rain for 6+ Hours, and unfortunately my waterproofs weren't waterproof enough and I got freezing cold and soaked! Luckily I caught one fish but it wasn't big. This video has helped loads so hopefully I can give bungs a go in the future if I can get my hands on some! I have since ordered some proper waterproofs Haha. Great video Rhys heres to hoping I can win those bungs so I can put them to good use!
Thanks Rhys appreciated as always 🎣🎣 have a friend who has used them for a number of years now I gave it ago about a year or so and now use them for a part of the day every time I fish a new venue. 👌
Mate! You really do listen to your audience. Good on ya :D Been waiting for this all week. I knew it'd come soon. And on point as always! Keep sharing! For every video you make we catch more fish! :D PS. That sliding indicator looks wicked! I'll most likely be using some of the small to medium ones of those for midge rigs like you've shown. So far I havent liked the ones my mates bought from the shops but this one is perfect for finding the fish with my midge nymphs. Less the hassle of having to spend 15 mins on changing the position of the indicator. Perfect! Keep sharing mate! Cheers again!
Best fishing channel on UA-cam the depth you go into is so helpful,went from catching a couple to a pb day catching 26 on an unstocked lake keep up the awesome work buddy
So glad I found your Videos went to a venue I normally go to yesterday and struggle to get 2 fish a day tried bung for the first time and I had 7 fish landed and I missed countless takes. My best day fishing ever. You certainly helped me CATCH MORE 🐟 cheers
What another great video with very easy explanation I would love to get my hand on these bungs and get use them on mid wales mountain lakes many thanks dai 👍😊🏴🏴🏴🏴
Just new to Trout fishing and have found a few fishery's don't like them so I was thinking, add on some thread or dubbing as you suggested. Thank you for your tips & tricks on fishing for trout, I find you videos very informative.
I’ve never fished the bung, my son said I should try it so after watching your bung set up video I’ll watch your bung fishing video and hopefully try bung fishing.👍🎣🎣
Used to make my own from yarn and old plastic cotton bud tube. Tie the egg yarn on wit thread and bit of super glue/ varnish. Brush the yarn out and leader goes through tube then wedge cocktail stick in. Worked just as well if not better than the foam bungs.
I would like to try the bungs so that I can leave my STATIC van, SLIDE over to the fishery and BUNG the resulting trout on the grill. I have seen a number of different versions on the market by those seem to be really good. Thanks for all the videos. You are really helping me to get into the sport. Will Duckworth
Hi Rhys. I have never fished the bung. I think it will be a great addition to my fly fishing arsenal. I really enjoy your videos, as I'm not a very experienced angler and you offer a lot of knoledge! All the best! Keep it up!
In all my 14 years of fishing I've never used a bung. Always been put off by setting it up ect. But very well explained rhys might have to give it a bash at garn in the winter 👍🏼
Another informative video. I fish with a pal who gets tired with repeatedly casting over a fishing session. I have tried to convert him to use the bung and these would convince him to go for it
First video I have seen that actually explains the concept of bung fishing, and the competition rules. being relatively new to the sport it has inspired me to have a go next time out on the water..great job Rhys
Great video as always!! I’d plan to use the bungs to start as a way to teach my wee boy who is coming up for seven how to fly fish. Teach I’m how to handle the fish when hooked and get him hopefully into the sport!
Great video easy to follow the instructions. Just getting back into fly fishing after a few of the trout lakes near me closed down. I will definitely try the bung method as it looks like great fun. Thank you.
Rhys, Thank you. I do enjoy your videos. Last summer, I ordered some of the Fario fixed Bungs and do like them. I would like to see them make a "Quick Release" style bung which "releases" when a fish is hooked and then slides freely on the leader. This prevents the situation of the Bung getting caught in the rod tip when stripping in or reeling in line when bringing the fish to the net when fishing deeper than 10" - 12', even when using a 10' long rod. These "Quick Release" style indicators are very popular with Stillwater fly fishers in the US and Canada. Thanks from Portland, Oregon!
I started fishing the bung earlier this year and it's got me countless number of fish..I tend to find you get bigger trout than I would normally pulling lures or fishing naturals. Keep up the good work 🎣
Thanks for the video - great detail as per usual. I would use the static bung as an attractor with an Apps 18" t0 3' under it and retrieve with fast figure of 8 retrieve so that the bung bobbles along the surface to attract the trout to see what all the fuss is about and then they see the apps and attack it and get hooked.
Great video bud. I've tried quite a few types but never tried those fario sliding ones, didn't know how they worked so thanks for the information. I'd love to show you my home made ones at some point. Maybe catch you down garn when me and Gareth from ukflyfisher go next. Keep up the good work 👍
I have some static bungs but never used them cos didn’t really know the set up. Would love to try the sliding bungs as well I think it gives you the best chance of finding fish. l Always feel a bit daunted starting at a new water but this technique will be what I try next when faced with the unknown. Thanks for the vids Rhys 🤭
Hi there Rhys, another fantastic vlog m8, I would use the bung to help me catch trout in my local Loch in Scotland, the brownies we have are university graduates lol 😂 once they get jagged they take along time to get hooked.
I actually caught a few fish using that method with the same cat bug yesterday. Sometimes I tie a dropper on when using the sliding bung so I can cover the depths quicker once I've found the depth they are feeding I change to a static.
Great video, really top quality channel. I’m getting my wife into fly fishing, I would add them to her soon to arrive setup and help her catch her first big (hopefully) trout this winter.
Hello Rhys, I would love to try them out on the 35 Ha Reservoir that I fish. it is called Bergerven in Belgium. Like the cannel and keep up the good work of making us beter fly-fishers.
Another excellent informative video Rhys, especially for guys like myself who are new to the fly rod this year. I have been using the bung method with great effect thanks to your previous videos and so would use these fario ones to hopefully continue that and catch even more, bigger, fish 🤞🏻🎣👍🏻
Would love some freebie bungs, just taken up fly fishing this year after inheriting my Dads fly gear. Unfortunately most of the bungs I had are now hanging in trees like Xmas decorations, but my casting is coming along better now.
Great video again Rhys, never used sliding bungs or a bung with a hook on it! I fished the bung on saturday with my own tied squirmy worm an it was deadly once I got the depth right, i would like to these bungs :)
Hello, my name is Timothy and I live in Gothenburg in Sweden. I'll really try these bungs in Swedish waters, fishing for brown trout, sea trout, rainbow trout, and char as well as coarse fish. I'll test them in club waters as well as in wild lakes and by the coast. I'll also follow your advice and start competing. I will also teach my boys fishing with them. :) Kind regards, Timothy
Fished a static bung NZ style last weekend. Really sensitive for takes. 2 rainbows on a rubber legged egg and a blue and rainbow on an okay dokay. Will try the same again this weekend.
They aren’t built for re-use but can be done so with some moving around. I personally wouldn’t bother though. Try using static bungs with line stoppers as an alternative 🙂
Hi Rhys, Been enjoying your vids - it's refreshing to see modern kit and innovative methods, keep it up. I've been fishing the bung for a while now using a simple spun deer hair blob as a bung so keen to try the Fario bungs. My question is your thoughts on whether you can tie the bung to the upper tag end of the dropper and if there's any value in lengthening the dropper by just a couple of inches to keep a little more line away from the fish?
interesting thought about the tag end. I'd personally recommend tying it to the dropper end, simply because the direction of the dropper line is such that it will absorb a take on your bung better than if it were tied on the tag end (as the tag end effectively sits against the direction and moment to which the fish will take)
Hi Rhys, thanks for the informative video! Two questions: would you keep the same width leader between the bung and nymph even if it was 10ft+? how do you attach the non-tapered leader to the fly line loop? Do you just clinch it or do you create a loop for loop-to-loop?
Would love to win these. Bung fishing is my go to and I’d love to use them to catch the fish of a lifetime at Rockbourne with my father. I’m still learning which flies work best under the bung. So any additional tips would be a bonus. My usual are eggs, squirmies, buzzers, bloodworm. Could you do a video about competition fishing and what set up you have as a go to when your aim is to catch a lot of fish?
Hi Rhys Thanks for your videos…really useful! BUT I have a problem with the Fario adjustable bungs. I understand how to put the primary black bung on the leader but I am completely bemused how to put the secondary bung on! What am I missing here? Help!
@@RhysFishes Hi Yes I mean the beige bung. Once the leader is threaded through the wire loop and is then drawn through the bung I don’t see how this would work with the wire with the beige stopper leaving the leader threaded through the bung.
I would fish them on a winters comp I have in November.. As the fish do attic the static bung and it would be nice to have something new that maybe the guys who normally win I might give them a run for there money . Ps great tutorials
I’d use the sliding bung to try find one of the 20+ Spartacus that are in my local fishery, been trying to get one all year and have failed but I feel like that could do the trick and I’ve never fished a bung so would be good to learn 👍🏽
Bung fishing is the dark side for me and I've maybe tried it a handful of times... I know it's big in the comp scene and catches a huge amount of fish. Maybe one day I'll give it a good go one day 👍
You could fish that static bung as a slider if you rig it up correctly. I’m new to fly fishing but am match fishing from the beach for over 20 years. We fish slider rigs with 3 hooks on surf beaches for bass and flounder and you could set the bung up with the same principles so long as they come under fips guidelines.
Thanks for the reply Rhys, one further thought is that, if your bung is a fly of sorts, then the impact in the way the line/dropper lies would be dependent on which fly was taken by the fish.
Agreed. In 90% of cases i've found the fish will take the bung across either at 90 degree angle from your position or 180 degrees (facing your direction). Rarely will a fish take the bung facing the same direction as you as naturally the leader/fly line will be in the way as it were. There are some bungs out there tied with the sole intention of being fish catching bungs (a heavy dressed with foam blob as an example) and on their day they can give that slight edge!
Could you please let me know if fishing with a bung can be successfull in the summer time on still waters? Or is the bung just for winter/spring fishing? Great videos. Many thanks Mark 👍👍
It can work equally as well. The only difference is that you’d find buzzers under a bung far more effective in the summer months than your usually winter patterns
Just set up my 1st Fario slider set up and looking forward to giving it a go this week. Any tips from anyone for getting the bung back on the wire ready for next time?
I’ll answer my own question as I tried and succeeded, use a sowing needle with a large ish eye (mine was from a free hotel kit) and look at one end of the bung you will see a black block and at the other space I went for the space end but might be easier the other way, thread your line (just enough to clear the bing) and then push through gently, suggest a thimble to help. You can do the same with the rubber stoppers but they are super cheap so I have now ordered a load for pence. Hope this helps
Sorry for the delay, I took a break from UA-cam. They aren’t designed to reusable but with a bit of fiddling you can make them reusable. Looks like you’ve found a way that works for you 👍

Loving these bungs. But. How do you reuse the sliding bung. You can’t reuse as you can’t thread the line back.
Yea that’s correct, they aren’t designed for reusing sadly. A good alternative is to take a static bung and remove the bend of the hook if needed and just buy float stoppers

9:46 Never used a bung before, but after watching your video I’d love to bung one in and have a go
Another clear explanation on a particular method
I am a competitor from Canada. Unfortunatly the bung isnt allowed in competitions here. It was but last National, they deicided to change the rules. Your videos on stillwater fishing are absolutly the best out there. Continue the good work !
Great video, I got 7 rainbows on Saturday using a sliding bung and yellow squirmy worm.
I missed the only trout i saw all day when it tried to take my sliding bung! a FARIO could have saved my trip! lesson learned!
I would hope with all the tutorials I've watched from you Rhys, I would bag up pretty quick. another awesome clip for someone who loves bung fishing.
Brilliant vid. I'd give the bungs to my 9 year old lad as he has just started fly fishing with me and they would suit him down to the ground.
Superb video again mate keep it up👍🏽🏴

Love the bung fish with it everytime im out it never comes of 1 rod,awesome video as normal bud
These bungs would be a great addition to my surface carp fishing thanks great info.
Thanks for another quick and educational presentation. An area of the sport that I really need to develop.
Thanks Rhys appreciated as always 🎣🎣 have a friend who has used them for a number of years now I gave it ago about a year or so and now use them for a part of the day every time I fish a new venue. 👌

I’ve never used a bung before but your videos explain everything so simply I would love to give them a go on my next trip out!
Just discovered Rhys. Great content and very informative. There are anglers and danglers....Rhys is certainly an angler.👍
Very interesting video. I'll give them an opportunity next day.
First video Ive seen that really explains the method clearly and concisely. Really helpful and informative - thank you Rhys

Yarn bungs are fantastic, just unfortunate that they aren’t legal for fips mouche
Thanks for sharing, love fishing the bung.
It’s a method I would love to try after lock down/travel restrictions are lifted here in Ireland,please consider me for a set 🤟
I would like to try the bungs so that I can leave my STATIC van, SLIDE over to the fishery and BUNG the resulting trout on the grill.

I’ve always used a different bung but these will be good for my lechlade visit. Look really good 👌
Another great video Rhys. I'd use them to keep me fishing in the winter months.
Cheers Rhys - exactly what I was looking for.
Definitely worth a try on our water.
Never tried a bung before hopefully will save me hours of blanking again by trying the sliding bung method in the first hour, excited to give it a go!

Like the cannel and keep up the good work of making us beter fly-fishers.
great video Thank you use next time Im out there
Another awesome video rhys 👏 I'd use them to go for my pb and try get my first big double 🎣
An area that I really need to develop.
Just started fly fishing, it would be a great help for me to catch my first trout.
Nice video I've not used a bung yet so would definitely give them a go on my local water

Would love some freebie bungs, just taken up fly fishing this year after inheriting my Dads fly gear. Unfortunately most of the bungs I had are now hanging in trees like Xmas decorations, but my casting is coming along better now.
Will use the bungs at my local winter league and hopefully help me catch more fish 🎣

Great video thank you. Are you still doing new videos?
Thank you. Taken a long break 🙂
When do you add the second beige stopper please. Confused I is. Cheers
Fished a static bung NZ style last weekend. Really sensitive for takes. 2 rainbows on a rubber legged egg and a blue and rainbow on an okay dokay. Will try the same again this weekend.
Rhys, how do you reuse this bung? The re-threading of new fluorocarbon tippet through the bung? Please..
got some fario bungs after watching your video, can you explain how you can reuse them once they have been loaded on leader.
They aren’t built for re-use but can be done so with some moving around. I personally wouldn’t bother though. Try using static bungs with line stoppers as an alternative 🙂

Great suggestion!
going to give them a go next season
Hi Rhys, thanks for the informative video! Two questions:
would you keep the same width leader between the bung and nymph even if it was 10ft+?
how do you attach the non-tapered leader to the fly line loop? Do you just clinch it or do you create a loop for loop-to-loop?
Hey kris. Generally yes, the same width / breaking strain straight through. Leader to line connection would be via a double Davy knot. Tightlines

Great vid, production value is on point! Why do the rules say you have to use a bung made up of 3 materials?
or where in the latest FIPS Mouche rules does it say a fly must have 3 materials? :-P

pray that your 7ft tall!
Great tutorial but hiw do you change leader reusing the same fario floating - sliding bung?
They aren’t reusable without messing around with the inside of one. I have an alternative way of fishing the bung which I’ll share in a video soon
I’d give them to my 10year old boy who’s not long started and really enjoying it
Just set up my 1st Fario slider set up and looking forward to giving it a go this week.
Any tips from anyone for getting the bung back on the wire ready for next time?
I’ll answer my own question as I tried and succeeded, use a sowing needle with a large ish eye (mine was from a free hotel kit) and look at one end of the bung you will see a black block and at the other space I went for the space end but might be easier the other way, thread your line (just enough to clear the bing) and then push through gently, suggest a thimble to help.
You can do the same with the rubber stoppers but they are super cheap so I have now ordered a load for pence.
Hope this helps
Sorry for the delay, I took a break from UA-cam. They aren’t designed to reusable but with a bit of fiddling you can make them reusable. Looks like you’ve found a way that works for you 👍
@@RhysFishes we are all looking forward to your return and I hope watching your vids multiple time does not mess with your stats.
