    You know what first caught my attention. You didn't wear all the fishing garb, boots, vest, boxes of fly's, etc, etc, etc. You get the point. You kept it simple. Pants, shirt, fly rod and net. You still caught tons of great trout. You were like young boys out there just having fun and not competing with getting the larger trout. Keep it fun, one fly fisherman to another. Tight lines. Your youth and energy to hike such distances is incredible.

    You do a good job of not name dropping places. I fish the same places you have uploaded and have been fishing them for years. They are awesome fisheries, but they already get enough pressure. It could be a slippery slope if word gets out where these places are, especially with people getting very close to name dropping in the comments.
    Im not trying to throw shade, youre videos are awesome, just saying it can be a very slippery slope.

    • @FireflyFishing
      @FireflyFishing  5 місяців тому +3

      I keep a close eye on the comments to ensure no one name drops locations (though it rarely happens). I completely agree and understand- I don’t share the state or specific spots in my videos. I just want to show how cool fly fishing can be; it’s up to you to discover your own favorite places.

I’ve had some issue with 5x and 6x floral carbon do you have a recommendation on Tippet material that you prefer and that you consider stronger than other tippet material that’s on the market. Thanks I enjoy watching you young men enjoy fly fishing

    Great video. Question. Do you pause on dry fly hooksets, and if so, how long?
    We have a decent tailwater trout fishery north of Atlanta, with stocked rainbows and wild browns, and i really want to improve my dry fly skills. I am a very good fly caster, and can induce rises and hits, but i miss too many sets.
    I think there are two issues for me.
    1. The correct pause
    2. The direction of my set
    Any tips would be appreciated!

    • @FireflyFishing
      @FireflyFishing  5 місяців тому +1

      Give a one Mississippi in your head before setting the hook! If you are feeding the line downstream and get an eat, just slowly lift your rod as if you’re setting the hook like you’re swinging a softhackle.

      @@markvanderstelt8999 Not worried about specific spot here (they are bad about it in other vids). It's Bull trout. They are a uniquely idaho thing that don't get pressure (and can't take much) in a state that gets overrun in various rivers. With videos like this, it's a matter of time, just look at the comments. Look at bucknasty browns and the O.
      No I'm not posting the coordinates to the places, but they are way easier to find than you think. I easily identified 6 new places this year on his videos alone, many others that I fish already. Google wins in this scenario, these guys think they do (but don't really), and the guys that have been doing this for a while pay the price for a them to get the likes/clicks/etc they think will be a full time thing. Selling out it subtle.
