This was wonderful.
As someone who has flyfished for over 40 years in both salt and fresh water....this video was so refreshing and took me back to when I was first wading around not knowing what I was doing, losing flies in bushes, trees, flaying around, stomping up banks etc. Just great
Well said Ralph. I've been fly fishing for over 25 years and I'll never forget the first fish I ever caught on a fly. I gotta admit, this kid looked a lot better than I did my first time with a fly rod.
I’m learning to fly fish and this video gives me hope! I was skunked my first outing. When he gets a fish on is it normal to pull the line in with your hands rather then reeling?
Dylan Olson honestly you can do either one but I prefer to tug on the line when a fish bites then I let it run off with it and tire itself out then I reel in. I rather do it this way so my line doesn’t tangle on something, but whatever works best for you!
Any recommendations for a large mouth bass set up?
@@Alexander6749 This really depends on where, geographically, and what bodies of water you like to fish. If you're in the north where fish tend to be smaller, a 9' 6 weight outfit is likely fine in waters without much vegetation though a 7 weight will help cast larger flies for largemouth (size up if in the south). I'd recommend a floating line and an appropriately sized leader for fish in your area. Also, get a sinking leader for those cases when you need to your fly line down into the water column.
Plenty more in this discussion, including fly selection, but I'd recommend chatting with a local shop - they should be able to provide the best advice.
"Please don't come off"! I wish I had a dime for every time I've said that. I could pay for my fly fishing addiction! Great job!
Jackie Daugherty right?
I could have bought a new play station
@@supremekillzz3113 why buy a playstation when you could fish all day?
@@spadeontwitter5495 true
I just started fly fishing last year and I’m getting the hang of it but these r some tips I’ve found out- always have a net on you bc u never know- de barb your hooks because it makes the fight better it makes it easier for the hook to come out and it’s healthier for the fish- have some sort of pliers on you because sometimes the trout swallow the fly- when your using a wooly bugger it’s a streamer so you have to strip it in and cast it again. When you cast it strip and little strip a little and do that until you get to the leader
Plz do more of fly fishing thats my opinion
that's not an opinion
I use a mixture of beer lemon pepper and honey
Love your chanel man. I started fly fishing last fall and I've grown obsessed! I dont have trout native to my area in boring old central illinois but a little universal tip would be to buy a pair of hemostats or forceps to help remove those small nymphs from the fish's mouth. Ive used them to remove flies from fish as small as creek chubs to as big as 2-3 lbs white bass. Good luck fishing and great video!
hell yea bro. im stoked for you. going out all by your self and sticking one for your first time. i was a wreck my first time and i went with a buddy who is also a guide.... learn how to indicator nymph and have fun!
Can you please start to make more videos on fly fishing I also just started and you're videos are awsome
You can bring the fish in by hand like you did for small ones like that but if you are catching bigger ones with sink line you are gonna wanna reel it in
Nice work, brother. That was a nice rainbow. I bet you are still fly fishing. The tug is the drug.

Here’s a tip when u have a fish and ur stripping line reel as u strip
It takes time mate
That's why it's called fishing not catching
yup
Catching 3 trout out of the same hole in a highly pressured river... with a technique you don't even know.
That's what they call "catching" not "fishing".
Seems perfect for learning how to flyfish I guess...
God u sound like my dad
Hi and welcome to raisin
Carter Thao that’s what my dad says
OH YES
Did the hook set hurt anyone else inside when he hooked it like a bass 😂
It was worth it at 8:16 jumping rainbow
Good job! Once you catch a fish on a fly your hooked. My first experience was awesome, I bought two fenwick fly rods at a little country store for eight dollars each, went to the stream but had no fly's. So I stripped a string from my black sweat shirt tied it to a hook and thru it in. Caught my limit in fifteen minutes, I was hooked. That was in 1963 been a scientific angler ever since. Frank from Oregon.
I just bought a starter fly rod and gear from dicks sporting goods. I can fish anyother rod. And reels. But this is something I wanted to try. And haven't gone yet. I'm nervous. Bc I live in South Carolina and I don't have a clue where I could fish the darn thing
7:56 when the Bigfoot runs across the screen
Any tips for starting out(
old boi
Well thank you. I actually been using nore then my other rods. Having a blast.
Just found this video of yours. Bought my first fly rod today and will be going out to the Bahamas this week to fly fish for Bonefish. Excited to try it out for the first time! Hopefully I have as good as luck as you did!
steveo1kinevo WHOA! Steveo, I did not expect you to be here lol. Love your vids. :)
Took me two years to catch a fish on the fly and my with my first one I lost it lol
How was the bonefish trip. I just bought my first fly rod today, hoping to use it this weekend.
YO STEVO!!
Like to catch a 10lber
I wasn’t on a fly rod but about 2 to 3 years ago I was at our local sports mans and I only caught 2 fish in about 2 hours and I decided to go over on a steep part on a hard to get to area I had on a bobber and your regular red worm I look away for literally 3 seconds to see what my parents were doing and I look back and my bobbers gone so I look for a second to make sure then yanked I thought I hooked jaws I reeled in a 26 inch trout but sadly I didn’t get to weigh it but if I had to guess I would say it was between 4 and 6 pounds
I would probably catch a negative 10lbs fish
If your looking for ten pound trout about the only place I've heard of one is in the pond oreille river in northern Idaho. Keep your butt dry!
Hey man I fly fish all the time. your doing everything perfect but one tip is when you have a fish on you use the reel. its not good if you line real it cause it can get tangled easily. great job though hope your having fun
I was gonna say the same
Just learned this not too long ago.
Mmmmm. It depends. On a super small fish it's better to strip it in. On a larger fish it's necessary to let the reel do the work because most the time that fish will take some line.
Sees fly Fisherman
HEY THIS IS MY FIRST TIME FLY FISHING
Me
all the fly Fishermen: "Hol..d my beer spunky.. let me show this noob how this is done." *triple mocha backflip cast jutsu*
Wholesome
and from this we learn to always bring a net when fly fishing
I never bring a net fly fishing to much to carry but I guess that’s the difference between a river angler and a saltwater fly fisher
"Oh Yes" - Random Flyfisherman
NorthernFire greatest quote on UA-cam, so great some Chinese lady has a rib tat of it.
Oh yes
-random flyfisherman
Oh yes oh yes
There's fish over there and over here.
I actually say this every time I hook up now lol
Oh yes
Try fly fishing for smallmouth bass. They feel like a million pounds on a fly rod. It’s awesome
Even with a light spinning set feels like you got snagged, little monsters.
6wt 9 ft. Caught smallies I couldn't even feel it bite, no visual of it getting hooked. Went to recast little bastard almost went flying. Lol
@@venp4353 oh man ive had a similar thing happen to me, your comment made me laugh
@@venp4353 Can you even catch bass on a 5wt?
“I was trying to be quiet so the other fisherman wouldn’t come running I’ve” 💀😂
Yet he walks right up to others fishing and bothers them lol
Dude, take the cellophane off the cork! Nice fish!
Haha my buddy bought that same cabellas set and never took the wrap off the cork. First thing I noticed.
One does not remove it before the first fish is caught
Do you have better luck if you remove the cellophane?
Vlad the Impaler you have a better grip...
wallpaperkilla gotcha, that makes sense!
You give me so much hope man. I just ordered my first fly rod today. Wish me luck!
Well, how’s that fly rod treating you?
@@rtfan1236 haha thanks for checking up brother. And I did pretty decent in the season. I think I need to stick to a spinning rod though. Too many trees in nj 🤣
AHHHH! Another spin/bait caster comes over to the "Dark Side" (LOL)
The whole time I was screaming “ TIP UP, TIP UP”
ME TOO lol
so what is that referring to?
@@Twinkyboy when you're pulling him in to keep the tension
Great minds think alike lol
That's what my wife tells me
Remove the plastic wrap from the grip. If you leave it on it the cork beneath may rot. Also cork is better in your hands than pastic.
First of all you filmed an event. It was quite good and you were a humble fly fisherman, don't ever change from that. I'm sure you have advanced much from this experience . You performed exceptionally well and your control of the rod/ line really floored me. Well done and thanks for the video, your the guy we would all be proud to fish with. And lastly, your hooked.
Come for a trip to Norway! Especially a town called Lillehammer, we had the Olympic games in 1994. We also have one of the best trout population in world! The average weight here is ca 2-3 kg or 4-6 pounds. The record is 21 kg. But it was a while ago... It's not unnormal to get routs over 5 kg og 10 pounds!
Or 1-3 kg
And this is not stocked!
wow! that is nice! i guess the norway is heaven for Trout then ^_^
HansNorth Outdoors depends on where you fish in Norway.
HansNorth Outdoors omg that’s Awesome
Glad you had fun! You can also fly fish for Bluegill, Crappie, Bass, pretty much any fish that live in 2-4 foot deep water. The reel can be used to reel in the fish, but you can do what you were doing. There are different lines (Sink tip, Intermediate sink, and full sink ) to go deeper. If you are going to have more fun than this, check with your doctor first!
Very impressive catching a fish on a nymph without an indicator on your first day fly fishing. Well done!
"Oh yes"
Well done! I think alot of people would like to fly fish, but don't because there's so much more to it than spincasting... It can get overwhelming. Its nice to show folks that you can just sorta stumble through the learning process. Thanks!
Also when your striping line in, try to use your right index finger as a sort of guide for the line and release pressure with it when you want to strip and then press your finger to the cork when your not striping, i find it alot easier to do it that way than with all my fingers.
WestCoastOutdoorsBoy 8
you are not supposed to reel the line in with the reel?
Francois Dupont no, on a fly rod the reel is kind of a place just to store your line than it is to reel in the fish. Obviously there are those few occasions you reel the fish in with it but majority of the time you’re stripping in line manually
Francois Dupont You can use the reel to fight the fish. Keep the line tight with your casting hand and spin the spool to take up any slack, then retrieve the fish with the reel. The drag will only come into play if it’s a fish that’s over four or five pounds, otherwise it’s just less hassle to strip them in. The dude in the video needs to strip from below his right hand were he needs to keep the line anchored with his right index finger.
this video inspired me to get a fly fishing combo . gonna try it out this weekend so excited!
BLifted 604 i know this is an old comment but how did it go?
A year later how u doing
Almost a year later
how did it go?
flyfishing is highly addictive. Nice to see You had a great introduction to the game. Just keep talking to the experienced guys and learn from them
" i am addicted now" yep... usually how it goes, i think its a mix of fishing with the river's flow, picking the right lure, the techniques used for different lures for different parts of the water column, and then the rather active casting. also the fish are always beautiful to just look at.
My old man just gave me a thirty-year-old fly rod he bought with Marlboro miles. Never been used still in the case and I've yet to go out and try it but you give me a little inspiration thanks buddy
You know you're old when you know what Marlboro miles are. I haven't heard about that in a long time.
Catch a fish on a fly pole is amazing but catching on a dry fly in life changing
Dries are nice and all, but a smash mid swing will stop your heart
Idk fly fishing has a lot of feelings like that, hooking a big brown on a big streamer is a hell of a thrill too.
Nice, greetings from Ireland. Its never to late to start with fly fishing.
I hope not I just started playing with a fly rod at 53 lol Tight lines
@@williamrobbins2939 yeup. I'm 51 years young. Been fishing well over 40 years but got my first fly set up a few days ago. Love it so far.
I fly fish a lot for trout it's my favorite So far fly fishing for trout is my favorite.One thing you need to do is don't fight them like bass.😂😂Let the trout tire them self out then they are easier to bring in and handle. Especially with bigger fish.
If you tire the trout they may not survive when you release them, reel them in fast, take off the hook and let them go.
Adelino de Almeida lol you don't reel them in fast you take your time and let the fish fight I guess you don't know any thing about fly fishing for trout 😂😂
@@blakepirimona7826 you bring them in as quick as you can. If you are using light line it will take longer. Its that Simple. You want the fish as green as possible before release.
Just some info: trout are very delicious
and some states have no size limit, just bag limit. even the small ones grill up nicely. (never fry rainbows. im sure its delicious, but it is an affront to the fishing gods to fry such perfect grilling meat. )
@@fakiirification small ones are great too, I've fried, grilled, boiled and cooked arctic char and trout in every way imaginable, and every size imaginable
With the reel your can either hand line it in or you can reel it, whatever works best for you. Have fun with fly fishing your going to love it. Please make more fly fishing vids.
dane Anderson personally I only reel in fish when they're big.
dane Anderson I was wondering why he wasn’t reeling
I’ll just add that unless you’re casting, you always have the line between your finger(s) and the cork. When stripping the fish in, strip behind your rod hand, so you always know where the line is and you don’t introduce slack.
This was such a fun video to watch! Your excitement was infectious!
Well done!👍🙂👊🏼✊🏼
good advice! im just learning too
I swear I wet my hands!
I don’t get it
Italian_ ice _ 23 I believe when you touch rainbow trout without water they have this slime coat that protects them or something and when you wet your hands you kinda help the coat stay on idk
Graham Allan shut the fuck fat boy
silent outlaw lol
Shut up u have 1 subscriber I have 2!!!!
The reel only holds the fishing line. Don't crank it with a fish on.
awesome job on the first fish with a fly rod dude!!
Yes, great job. Much better than the first time I went. Pretty impressive as a first time.
I always flatten the barb on my flys, as I return most of the fish I catch
You gotta set the hook right away on any tap or hit. Usually if you “let them eat it” they’ll just spit it. A little bit different from bait fishing. Great video tho!
Its' even more fun when you catch one with a fly that you tied yourself!
Fly tying is the yin of the fly fishing yang.
About to start getting into fly tying, any tips would be great
If you're wading, it's good etiquette to leave the water when you're approaching other anglers. You did great for your first time fly fishing, and fought the fish very well (I'd recommend smashing the barbs down on all flies, and holding the fly line that's in your rod hand under one finger instead of all of them, it gives you more control so you can let the fish run if necessary). Orvis has put out a lot of good videos on fly fishing for beginners, they helped me a lot when I first started, and I still go back and watch them from time to time. Good luck out there, and tight lines!
Arizona Fly Rodder I accidently needed to take a rainbow last time i flyfished because of a deep hooking, and the barb didn’t made it easier. I was already on my limit, so that was a mistake. But I learned my lesson and now I’ll bring some barbless flies with me:)!
Having been hooked with a barbed hook, I only fish barbless.
vibratingstring well, that lake didn’t have that rule and I thought fishing was to fun at the moment to not continue fishing:)!
vibratingstring yeah. I totally get that. I was fishing with the warden though and explained the situation. But I know what you mean. The ”it was going to die” argument would unfortunately be missused. Even though the fish is half dead you need to throw it back by rules or risk paying much money for taking to much fish. But the rules are important and in my opinion well working:)!
Benjamin S wow. Here in Colorado if you are at your limit and get caught continuing to fish, you still get a large fine.
You can real in both ways it’s what ever your comfortable with. But with the real when you hook the fish hold the string and real in the slack and then real in the fish.
Addicted Outdoors reel
Guy is trying to help out a fellow fisherman by giving him a tip and your criticizing his spelling of the word reel? GTFO grammar police
Nice insult there bud, what are you in the 8th grade? Wait do not answer that, you have already shown how immature you are by the use of the word "faggot" that being said i will respectfully decline your invitation to go f*** myself thanks.
notoriousL Pitiful, kid.
Zed Zul Zorander keep talking keyboard warrior. Nobody is listening.
Great job in catching a fish your first time out. Well done. You did much better than I did my first time. One bit of advise, when you are walking through the woods with your flyrod hold your flyrod behind you. It is very easy to break off the tip of the rod the way that you are carrying it through the woods. I always carry my backwards, or break it down and carry it in small pieces. You do not want to lead with the weakest point of your rod which is your tip.
Were you trolling in this video? I been trying a couple months now and I still cant cast as good as you.
For your first time you were casting ok 👍🏻
Looms like you practiced some roll casts in the back yard
Awesome video and it takes me back to the first days I tried. Excellent work exploring too. You did much better than I did with my first fish on a fly rod - which was a sunfish I caught as I dragged my line across the water's surface en route to my next casting position. As with anything worthwhile, it's just about putting the time in and making observations for improvement.
For those considering flyfishing, a few tips from this video (only wish to help others' success by relaying a few tips that I've learned through the years vs. being critical).
* when lining your rod, it is easier to double over your fly line (plastic coated line) vs. pulling on a fine leader. Once you get the fly line out of the top line, place the line on waters surface and lightly wave it back and forth to pull out additional fly line.
* for this sort of fishing with tight banks and obstacles behind you, learn how to roll cast. The basics is letting line out, bringing your rod to your side and slightly behind you to form a D shape in the line and stop. Next, cast forward until your elbow is at about a 45% angle and come to an abrupt stop. The surface tension on the line coupled with flex of rod will generate power to cast it forward.
* always maintain two points of control on the line - this is particularly important when the fly is presented (lands on water) as a strike can happen quickly
* some flies are meant to just sit on water, some are meant to be retrieved - such as that wooly bugger - notice he got the action when retrieving the line
* when retrieving line, pull from behind your rod hand (one holding the rod), with a finger of the rod hand loosely holding it against the rod handle - this is important to be able to set the hook quickly when a strike occurs
* Plenty of others but learning on your own is part of the fun - so my last tip would be exactly that, have fun
Here's a video we were waiting for!!
That was inspiring! I’ve fly fished for bluegills in lakes for years, and this year I’ve decide to try stream fishing for whatever I can get. This video now has me itching to get out there
Pull the fish in like you’ve been doing, the reel is reserved to reel up extra line or for larger fish. You did well for a first timer!
Matthew Abramo so I learned wrong? I learned to let the fish fight if it was bigger
Kile Olin It really comes down to preference. I’ve noticed many others including myself that only use the reel to spool line. Fly fishing is adaptive, so you have to do what works for you.
i always just use my hand even with bigger fish. but yeah do what works for you
Tip: Always get the flyline on the reel so that you can get more pressure on the fish.
I always play the fish line in hands , personally I like the feel of the fight through rod and line without any mechanical interference . I feel it adds to the purity of the fly fishing method .
12:02 Dude, they are nailing this lil nymph! Sorry, someone had to point it out.
Good inspiration for first time fly fishermen. One interesting line.."I'll show you what I'm using...I don't know what it is called".
Those were huge why didnt you keep and eat them
when youre using those nymphs set the hook (gently) as soon as you see the line move
This is probably my favorite fishing video ever.
The line, "This is a stick," made me laugh so hard I thought I was gonna pee myself.
Look up Phelps on the Fly, too. His videos are informative without being preachy.
Are you still gonna be making the budget fishing challenges? I really enjoy watching them.
Went fly fishing once,all l caught was a 15lb bluebottle.
Love this I just started fly fishing myself and ran across this. This is exactly how I feel standing out on a stream by myself like a dummy with no clue what I'm doing, haha.
Your index finger on your rod hand will ALWAYS have the line under it, controlling the pressure you keep on the fish. You were letting go with your right finger and pulling back on the line with your left and creating slack. The right finger will always be the finger that acts as your "drag." When you need to strip in line as the fish runs to you, strip with the left hand as you were but always keep it under control with your right finger at the same time. Nice work, I love fly fishing and now I am getting into spin fishing (I know I did it backwards) and watching a bunch of your videos, nice work fly fishing is quite exciting when you understand the casts better and in certain applications performs better than a spin or baitcaster. All the best!
I think I’m going to try fly fishing because of you😀
Mitchell Sechrest it’s so fun
Mitchell Sechrest ,...llokoikk
Mitchell Sechrest funniest way you can troutfish!
Same I really want to now
Look for small rapids and put your hook at the bottom
The first time or the 1500th time the magic is still there being connected to something so alive and so beautiful.
Go to a real flyshop and rent a few how to videos and study them. Fly shops have good stuff all the time to get involved in. Go to one of the big book stores in the sports isle nd read. Good luck.
Just reel the fish in only when they are big
Beautiful first fish! Thanks for sharing.
bruh the cut in of the lamborghini guy "knowledge" had me rolling.
I don’t know anything about fly fishing but why is he pulling in the fish with the string by hand when there is a reel on the rod
Bout timeeeeee
Just Another Croissant for reals bro
I recently started fly fishing too, its sooo addictive....
The most important thing is just have fun nothing Hass to be the way everybody tells you it needs to be when you go fly fission just enjoy yourself you can’t do anything wrong if you’re having fun I’ve been teaching people to fly fish for 50 years you’re doing great just enjoy yourself I really enjoyed your video brought back 1 million fun memories for me.
I haven't fished in years but your making me itchy to get back into it.bro. love your energy! Keep being you my dude big ups from Hawaii on the island of oahu!!!! Aloha!
First time or not, you caught fish. That's what matters, and the fun. Good stuff.
please can you get me a road like yours because I liked it and your video is amazing I press the source cry button and please ask the question in your next video and please give her a prize in this video
This message was was for you
I've been debating taking fly fishing up. After watching this the debate is over, I'm ordering my kit off Amazon right now. Great vid.
When fighting a big, stubborn fish, recover the line quickly by pumping. Pull the fish toward you by lifting the rod, and then lower the rod while simultaneously reeling in the slack line. Repeat this motion to keep the fish moving toward you.
You should have some slack line when throwing the lure/bait out, next time you go fly fishing bring a small net and it really doesn't matter if you reel the fish in, I like to grab the line and just keep pulling the line in like how you did. Love your work and channel keep it up
3CH0 I only use the reel when I hook something big.
That was alot of fun, I was feeling your frustrations and I kept saying- "are you supposed to reel it in like a regular rod, or just pull the string like you were doing??" Obviously you were wondering the same thing- lol! I just subscribed to you, I'm really enjoying your fishing journys and I'm about to get back into fishing after many years- God bless you and hi from NYC!! :)
“Oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes”
Very nice Fly Fishing , Thank you for the Fishing movie . 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏👏👏👏😄😄😄😉😉😉🤗🤗🤗
Saw bigfoot running across the screen at 7:56
TIP: if you have plastic over your cork Handel take it off because if it gets wet the plastic doesn’t let the water evaporate and the cork will turn black and nasty but good vid I enjoyed it :)
I love it !! Simply go to Cabelas take the plunge and buy a simple combo and without knowledge just go and do your thing, Congratulations !! I see so many first time "purist" with 1000's of dollars worth of equipment out there just bumbling around worrying more about there"look" than the actual fishing part of the experience
Hahaha they come to my town every year to fish the river for salmon with like 5gs in gear and are just useless and ignorant
I feel like I am playing VR fishing game!!!!! I really wanted to watch fishing video with this angle!!! I wanna control you with controller!!
as a fly fisherman, this was both cringe and exciting because one your doing some things wrong but the fly fishing community is going to get a fine new fisherman.
You did a good job for your first attempt. I love your excitement about fishing. I am a Trout fisherman, and yes you got good advice from the other fishermen. Dawn and Sunset are the best times. Trout don't' like the heat of the day. They go deep to stay cool. Good video, I enjoyed...Good Luck keep fishing....
“This is a uh.. I have no idea” 😂😂 this is how I’m feeling. Just got my setup yesterday. Merry Christmas everyone!
I guess you could say I’m hooked
