    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!!!

    Nice video! Of course Mark won as he used the same rod I have! HA! Are there safety issues on that stretch for me to worry about in my Fishcat scout pontoon? Have floated solo several times green bridge to dam takeout and ringer to umtanum, with no issues. HOW long a float is it from Reinhart to Ringer. Waiting for level to drop a bit.

    Great video! I've got a place 15 minutes from the Yakima in Ronald. I actually just started learning to fly fish on it in September. Totally inspired by some of your videos! If you don't mind me asking where did you guys start and finish at on the river? I want to do more bank fishing on the Yakima but still trying to figure out places to go.

      Thanks Randall - lucky you! I would love to live that close! :)) We did the float Reinhart to Ringer (I believe it's called). I would stop by the Evening Hatch or Reds Fly Shop in the Canyon. They can provide you with a map of all the wadable sections. Glad to hear you are getting into fly fishing! Cheers!

    Another great video. Your quality and editing are so good. Always enjoy them. I don't believe this was a very fair competition. Indicator nymphing, in my opinion, is only superior to Euro nymphing in a couple of water types. In a lot of the water you guys were fishing, the surface current and the current where the fish are holding, is much different. Big advantage to Euro style. My wife and I will be fishing the canyon a few days next week. We will be primarily Euro nymphing, and may throw some streamers. It's a shame that the best Euro rods, which most seem to feel are the T&T Contact II's by far, are so much more expensive than some of the other offerings. The difference between even the Contact II's and the Sage ESN is pretty significant, and below the Sage ESN the difference gets huge. Again, my opinion.

      Dan, Jeff hit it on the head. EN or bouncing a small jig with a spinning rod & reel is hella-sensitive and better detecting soft bites than ole Mr. Floaty. Having said that, to each his own and BAH! to EN-ing 😅😉🙃

      @@FlyFishDan your video's are so well done, it's easy to just get caught up in it and feel like there is a film crew there capturing everything. I don't believe you have a camera person most of the time, it's just you? When I think about the time and talent needed to set up some of the shots, many which look like they use a drone, and still actually fish, and then edit it all, I'm blown away. It comes across very seamless, with no distractions. Just like you have a camera crew with you. I genuinely appreciate your efforts to put out such high quality content.
