EVERYONE HATES FLY FISHERMEN.

- When did the fly fisherman become the butt of all other anglers jokes and why is it not considered to be one of, if not the most effective way to target a multitude of fish species. Why is it that amongst anglers that fish fly this technique is socially acceptable and to call yourself a fly fisherman is a badge of honour yet you go on social media and the fly fishermen memes and jokes are endless. To be fair fly fisherman do covet certain species and believe that they can and should only be targeted with the long wand. They'll also deck themselves out in expensive attire, spend countless hours alone tying flies, possibly going a little cuckoo and believe that their form of fishing is the purist of all. Meanwhile here in Australia I've got a cheap arse combo chasing a species that isn't coveted and is quite frankly despised by all. But for those in the know it is possibly one of the most challenging and rewarding target species with a fly rod we have to offer locally.
bro, love every single one of your vids. Please dont stop
I appreciate you saying that. I’ll be making vids for plenty more moons mate.
Another great vid and session brother luv ya work🎣👊🏽
Churs broo 👊🏻
i Remember as a kid they held the carp busters over the Easter Long weekend at the Beaudesert Racecourse Good times. Silly they stopped it. They used to get skip bins full of carp.
It evolved into the LAFMA Pest Fish Eradication Comp held yesterday at Wyaralong Dam. We filled two fish bins with carp and tilapia, biggest carp went 4.4kg and biggest tilapia was 2.43kg. Total fish removed from the dam was just shy of 1500 mate.
Something ive wanted to get into since i was a young fella. We were going to Tazzie & I had grand plans to fly fish...think i was 8 or 9. We didnt make it to Tazzie so fishing for Flattys on the Horniebrook had to do.. nice upload Fitz.👍🏼
Cheers brother 👊🏻
That was awesome man I can’t wait to be at the next carp/ tilapia event this year
21st Of October mate, I wish I could fish it.
Love jumping on UA-cam and seeing a new video pop up from you Liam🤙
Cheers mate, I appreciate your support.
Good one mate enjoyed that one👍👍👍👍👍👍 me and young bloke went out there one afternoon a few months ago and got 30 odd tilapia and about half a dozen bass and run out of worms in a hour went the following weekend with him and the Mrs and they got 20 odd tilapia and about 10 bass and a few spangled perch. It’s growing into a good fishery out there thanks LAFMA
Just need the cod to get big enough to start smashing all those tilapia and we’ll have a epic fishery mate.
Way more fun than people realise
Something about pants on 🤷🏻♂️
Incoming drone footage of a carp topwater take? 👀
Mate I struggled to film anything decent solo, you sir have a skill that will be hard to acquire.
@@LiamFitzpatrick Haha still not sure how I got it 😅
Nice work! Looks fun
Spot and stalk with the wand is the tits mate.
Hey fun vid I think they should allow bow fishing for noxious pests when you see carp and tilapia schooled up in creeks and bays I reckon it would be like shooting fish in a barrel plus I think it would put a greater dent in population than line fishing especially if comps were organised for them
Mate we put forward a proposal to Fisheries over a year ago when they made it legal to do so in NSW fresh water. We suggested following suit but got nowhere with it. That was through LAFMA and we suggested using Wyaralong as a trial location.
@@LiamFitzpatrick can’t believe how Qld state government is so far behind on things like this even hunting of feral game in state forests and national parks can be turned in revenue instead of spending millions in control measures that don’t cope or work with the situation on the land
I hear ya mate.
Haha! Good stuff Liam, love it mate.
Cheers mate.
So good.
Cheers mate.
At least you drive an 80 series.....🤘
Ha ha that’s my only claim to owning a set 🤣
Wait, what? When did everyone start hating me? Damn it...
Read the description it’ll explain for you mate 🤣
@@LiamFitzpatrick oh right... yeah, guilty of spending days tying fancy flies. The expensive gear thing, I never understood - functional fly gear is really all most people need. I've lost count of the number of milkfish I caught on a $33 fiberglass flyrod and a $35 click-pawl reel. There's so much technique in it all, that I rarely feel spending over $1000 on a rod is justified beyond someone just wanting one. Still, a lot of people will spend almost $1000 on combos for bream, so people will be people...
Great to see you back on the boat….Some awesome camera shots… waited for and finally got a “Damn It”….I truly hope you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing Liam.
Mate you have no idea how good I’m going. Back on track and catching fish.
Thankyou for making enjoyable videos
Thanks for the support mate.
👍
Cheers mate.
Yep, they sure do!
It’s weird mate, fly fishing is cool as fark but then it isn’t at the same time and it all depends on who you are, where you live and what you’re chasing
Barra on fly - cool as fark...bass on fly - cool as fark...cod on fly(?) - that would be cool as fark! Any sort of carp fishing - WOFTAM (ugly smelly buggers - but it's good to see you clear them out)@@LiamFitzpatrick
