Great tips. I used to .....okay sometimes still do when I'm excited....rip that fly up and even hear that pop sound as the fly "corks" out of the water..... That sound usually tells me whoa.....easy....watch what you're doing.
@@PeachyFlyFishing Yes for upstream and across and up dry fly. I also use an aerial snap T, single Spey or a snake roll when down stream depending on wind direction and strength. All will lift the line without ripping the water and allowa quick follow up cast if needed. It helps to have a triangle tapered line like an. Airflo Tactical these resemble Scandi tapers and roll cast beautifully while land dry flies gently.
Nice! Yes I use spey casts sometimes too, a bit beyond the scope of what I wanted to cover in this video though. Very useful casts in dry fly fishing though for sure. Thanks for this info, I haven't played with the aerial snap T, will have to have a go at that. :)
Haha! Yes sometimes that’s the case, as soon as the water is moving and has a bit of ripple though it’s surprising how close you can get to the fish. And getting into a better position can make all the difference to your cast and presentation…… thanks for watching! :)
Great series, Steve. Excellent stuff! Cheers mate!
Ah thanks Cory! Glad you're enjoying it mate. If you ever come to Sydney we should go for a fish.... :)
First time watching (I think) - excellent techniques. Glad I found this channel. ☮ from North Idaho, USA.
Thanks! Glad you liked it! :)
I use snake roll most of the time its very effective. If you are wading you have to be able to roll cast. I like your flick !!
Yeah I don’t know how people manage to fish in moving water without the snake roll!! 😆
Nice one Peachy!!
Cheers Aaron! :)
Thanks for the great advice!
You are so welcome! :)
Another great vid
Thanks mate! :)
I gotta get some lessons, I'd never have considered those aspects, hence my catch rate !
Great stuff Steve, cheers for these pointers.
Thanks mate! Yeah lessons are a good investment I reckon for just about all of us. 😁

Thanks! Yeah it’s an easy mistake to make…. ;)
A roll pick up works better especially with more line in the water as it lifts more line and higher.
Thanks, do you mean when it's directly upstream of you?

The first thing you do is don’t stand in the water when fishing creeks and streams!!! That’s the first thing when dry fly fishing. Lol
