Thanks,glad to see a younger generation interest in fly fishing & tying,love your simple approach to the sport,been fishing a long time & need a reminder of getting back to the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) approach,good luck on your tying & fishining adventures,tight lines & bent rods
I found that setting the drag on your spinning set up...just a little below breaking point of your line will help keep those big ones from escaping. Not sure if you did or not. I just never heard any drag noise in the video.
It's always a great feeling to catch a fish on a fly you have tied yourself. 1 quick tip on tying tilt your fly slightly downward in your vice just enough to keep your bead against the eye of the hook. Good luck on your channel.
Many times when I fish downstream and the fish hit the fly because of the direction it pulls it out of their mouth. I get much better hook-up rates when I cast flies upstream because when I set the hook it pulls it toward their mouth. Try it. I think you'll have the same results.
Thanks! The reservoir has trout, I've cought quite a few medium sized, and I've hooked 2 in the 20" size or bigger but haven't netted one yet. Saw a guy who had 3 one day....left me scratching my head.
Thank! Was there 2 days ago, worked a school of like 50 whitefish, they only wanted small nymphs. I struggled to hook them. Though they bit like crazy. Fun fun. Landed one 12" whitey

Are you a Prineville resident.....We just moved here and would love to know more about where all the good fishing is. Thanks again.

I love fishing the crooked. I live in bend and tie flies as well. I like using size 18/20 elk hair caddis skipped below me.

Headed there next week, super helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you! This makes my day. Should be great fishing. Tight lines!
Congrats on your first fish on a fly you tied! Pretty sure Prineville Reservoir doesn’t have lake trout though.
Thanks!

@@MTsubfly My favorite is Lone Pine... but then again, the Crooked River has so many beautiful spots!
