    Next time I go back to my hometown in Virgina I'm going to try salt water fly fishing for the first time. You've got me interested.

      Awesome! It’s fun for sure, not sure what you will be fishing for but make sure you have an 8wt if it’s anything large.

    This video shows you can still catch reds even if you have to blind cast to likely areas to find them. Great video sir

    • @McFlyAngler
      @McFlyAngler  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks man. Yeah for sure. I mean, it’s much easier to sight cast for them but it’s still possible

      Thanks man! Yeah it’s enjoyable for sure, love my job! So the equipment isn’t too badly priced. Risen fly is some of the best priced fly rods out there for their quality. Check them out, you too might be able to use the equipment

    It looks like fun. Unfortunately I got Covid pneumonia and ended up in the hospital recently. Been here for about almost 2 weeks. It sucks but I’m going to make it. I can’t wait to get back to swinging flies. Tight lines

    Nice, thanks. I miss the gulf coast, in UT now and it just isn't the same. More fun catching carp out here than trout and fighting the crowds. I do have some seasonal bass spots though, but nothing will ever beat the bay for me. I miss wading and chasing reds and specks, someday I will go back to p mansfield and buy a place or somewhere farther south with grass. Damn I love that coast, so jealous.

      Oh I feel ya. I’ve fished out in Utah before, good trout fishing out there. Lived in Colorado for years, actually miss that a lot. But yes redfish is fun for sure. And I love carp fishing! They are picky little jerks though

    Love the gulf coast! Lived in Corpus in the late 90’s. Didn’t start fly fishing till I moved to Montana 4 years back. Can’t wait to try and get on some redfish this June! Do you sell any flies by chance?

      For some reason I cannot get to the comment you just made saying you can't find where I sell flies. SO I will respond here. I dont have a website or anything. I just do it by word of mouth. Best way is to go to Instagram and private message me there. If you dont have instagram, then Facebook works. If you dont have any social media, you can find my email in the about section of my UA-cam home page. Just email me and we can start the order process.

    • @McFlyAngler
      @McFlyAngler  3 роки тому

      I have…. Lol. In fact in the video I did. I like to raise my chances any way possible though, and scents help mask human scent that will throw the fish off. Or glues/resins you put on the flies.

    Scent on your flies? If you want to fish bait, have at it, but don’t call it fly fishing. For me, a huge part of fly fishing is the extra challenge vs bait or spinning gear. To each their own I suppose.

    • @McFlyAngler
      @McFlyAngler  3 роки тому +1

      Eric I think your wrong. So many fish have great senses with smell. They can smell the oils from your skin when you put the flies on, glue or resin you use to cement the flies. Etc…. Adding scent helps cover that up. Obviously I didn’t bring it the first day and caught fish. I just like to increase my chances any way I can. If you want to make it so hard on yourself be my guest. For me, I tie great flies that can catch them without, but happy to use scent to get them to not get as skittish with other smells.
