@@paulracano what would you suggest to make it better

@@JoeWhitwell-js4dl thanks for asking! I tie everything I use.

@@SUflyfshn-YT nice sorry but this is what creek or river does it have a name

Well I could, however the issue is the peacock legs will be very fragile, tearing after the first fish. But definitely can definitely do that. Would you like the legs through the sexy waltz or at the front?

@@SUflyfshn-YT yes at the front bottom behind the metal bead

I definitely did. I’ve caught some massive suckers on a fly. Always gets me very excited then laughing. lol

Yes, I fish NC, WV, VA, and TN. I try to even out the trips to every where but mostly fish in SW VA.

@@SUflyfshn-YT Awesome 👏 hopefully see you someday in WV . Fall is here and all the rain just fell. Trout fishing should be great next couple months 👍 good luck 🍀

In Virginia. I was lucky enough to get a cool week wear the water was cool enough for a morning trip, to this particular freestone.

Any time! I hope y’all caught more than that small one I saw early.

Honestly have gotten exponentially better just being around those guys. Always sponging up stuff, is how you get better as fast as possible.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

How did you do?

@@SUflyfshn-YT really well!

Hey you won my give away! So if you could message me at Instagram.com/suflyfshn, you can give me your address, your order, and I will send those flies to you.

@@SUflyfshn-YT Will do.

I appreciate it My man. When guiding I realized that it’s something a lot of people don’t think about. I figured let’s put a video out to point people to

@@SUflyfshn-YT I was talking Brooklyn through it the other day when she was learning. She got the hang of it pretty quickly. Landed 2 fish without any help from me.

Honestly. Every comp I do everyone, including the top guys in the nation, start with, or immediately switch to, an egg. Just want these stupid fish to hit the size 20 nymph, that has 13 different materials on it and took me 30-40 minutes to tie. EAT IT! But noooo, the egg that takes 30 secs to tie, is it.

So for my dry dropper I use a 9’ 4wt RL Winston pure with a Ross animas reel and for my euro set up is a 10’ 2wt diamondbacks ideal nymph with a sage ESN reel. Honestly great set ups but the leader/tip up prolly is just as important, planning on doing a video explaining comp stuff. After my comp in April/May

Gotcha, I recently got a 3 wt because my goal going forward is to do a lot more mountain streams for natives. In my area it is mainly brookies anyway.

Jacob!!! I very much agree, and yes it is something I definitely need to work on. Unfortunately this is a lesson I learned the hard way down at the Soque, and I dropped half the fish I hooked because of it. I agree, It’s something I don’t think a lot of people think of. And I really didn’t until someone pointed it out during the end of the first day. It is just something unless you get it pointed out to you, you just don’t pay attention too most times. It’s something I still struggle with being conscious of. Just need to make it a point to do consistently, over and over again, until it’s muscle memory. I very much appreciate the comment!

Hah was just watching you and Ben on your guide tips videos. I super appreciate it! Thanks my man!

I have seen the 1wt DB do very well there especially with the super light takes the big fish often do, due to pressure, plus the tippet protection on the rods are phenomenal. Caught the bigger fish on 7x and didn’t break it off at the strike. The 10’ 10” 2wt is a hoot on tail-waters. The reach is fantastic for a the larger bodies of water.

It was about 23” prolly around 5-6 pounds

Hey Roger I hope all is well. You won this video’s giveaway! My Instagram is linked here -> instagram.com/suflyfshn?igshid=YTQwZjQ0NmI0OA%3D%3D& I hope to hear from you soon so I can get those free flies ready for you.
