Thank you for your design. In the past, I had something very simple and not a sturdy. Even made risers like you did and can put on a padlock Used a door padlock hasp as could not get what you had Probably a bit over the top line groove with webbing. Also made one for a spinning rod and because the groove was so long, I cut another piece of tubing and then cut it down a bit so it would fit inside the original tube This meant it was stronger. Have drilled through the end caps into the tube at the padlock end So the caps are attached with present with string to the tube, so they cannot be lost Did some colour coding with the keys and the padlocks Use small pieces of reflective tape and then clear nail varnish over them Thank you again for your design much appreciated

I was listening then a clip of you casting came up and I turned the video off

Since this was a how to video, i'm trying to figure out, where did you actually facilitate to show the viewer how to install a new net. Telling somebody versus showing them are very different. Make sure next time you do a video like this physically take them step by step.

Ok, as someone who just got skunked on stocker trout, I will try this. And the pen case - thank you a thousand times.

Can you catch big steelhead on this real

You lined with foam. Do droppers catch the foam ? I was considering lining with rubber strip(s) Because of droppers Lid idea is brilliant

I'll add my two words "Pros Strike Indicators".

When bamboo rods were popular in the 40s dry fly fishing wasn’t really a thing yet. My grandfather who grew up in the Catskills never even heard of dry fly fishing in he was a grown man. They only fished wet flys

Great info! Thanks 😊

great video i really appreciate the knowledge 🙌

You could also just collect trout or salmon eggs from the inside river bends and glue them to your hook. Not really a fly. More of a bait. Maybe you could catch grass hoppers and superglue them to your hook for dry fly hopper. I think you’re on to something. Maybe even mayflies! So many possibilities!

I design and make my own bamboo fly rods. While I agree with most of what you have said, modern bamboo can be faster than you indicated. It is all in the taper and with the advent of hollowing and advances in the same, a bamboo rod can be fairly fast and still retain that unique ability to transmit the feel of the cast and protect light tippets. Work with a custom rodmaker and you can design your own rod of a lifetime.

If you are an occasional fisherman that goes out a few times a 5wt 9ft is the all around trout rod. If you fish seriously you need a streamer rod like a 6wt or 7wt. I go with a 7wt because it pulls double duty as my small mouth rod. You also need a general purpose rod that will throw drys and nymphs a 5wt is that for me and most people. For small streams or purposes dry fly fishing a 3wt 7ft 6 inch i don’t go down to a 2wt because I still want to be able to throw a nymph if I need to and I am a mile from the truck on a blue line.

I’ve made about 8 bamboo rods from Tonkin cane. Like tying your own flies it adds to the experience. I have about 25 12ft culms in my garage that have been there since the late 90’s. In a couple when I retire I’m going to build them out.

Always used Hardy, click and pawl reels,for trout,salmon,and steelhead. They are loud,the drag is inefficient,ancient technnology. Perfect,pun intended.

I am still fishing with my original 1967 Model 1495 Pflueger Medalist I bought for $9.95 I believe. American made. Original parts. The drag never fails. I have caught hundreds of Trout , Steelhead, and Salmon in the last 50 years with it. It's been dunked in saltwater many times. On a whim, I bought a fancy very expensive reel 10 years ago. It lasted about 90 days. The new reels and rods can not hold up over time or years of strenuous use. I still use my fly rod which is an original SAGE 4 piece 5#. I received it in 1973! American made. Original guides. The guide wrappings have even changed color over the years. I fish to fish. Not make a fashion statement. No..they are not for sale.

Tired of the spinning reel. Need something simple. I need to up my saltwater fishing. Now i know. Thanks

To anyone considering this reel. I caught a ~20lbs chinook salmon and the drag held up to it no problem. I put it on the maxcatch salt pro 8wt as a backup rod, but I really enjoy using it.

Kayley Route

No line is worth 80 dollars.🤣

Wasnt aware of the red lip detail before!

Thanks, that's what I've been drilling into. They're all made in China with different names. probably from the same factory

I own two of their rods and love them both. Really affordable and they definitely stand by their warranty.

I wanna fish for long nose gar from a sitting kayak what line wt and rod length would you recommend?

Meade county in the house !!! 270 0:34

Eagle Claw #1 take all trouts out rio oh yeah

Good Collection

That’s a nice reel you have in blue. 500 dollars?

i typed 4wt8umht48wutbvnhdrfogkfweia90ri8932 and this video came up 😂

2 tiny streams, 4 glass small streams, 6 wind, maybe 8 or 10 in future for salt flats / salmon

you didn`t show exactly how you did it.... not good

should i always pull back all the way everytime

Fish care less about where the flies are from as long as they bite that’s all that counts

Take a look at Joe Bradley and John Riveras bamboo rods.

I tie one similar to this, but use a few turns of wire to add some weight. I add just enough to have it sink just below the surface.

This video is all over the place. I thought you were going to teach me something.

I fish all tree materials regularly. What you gave, was a pretty good explanation, cooking things down to the basic.

The music was too loud.

Yeah, but how do I get all the bluegill from chasing and hitting the damn fly the whole time!?

thanks...nice fly

Is this frame still holding up?

That 1st rod and reel bought back 7 years ago and i still have it i did upgrade the rod and its my go to fly rod as it was my 1st fly rod and reel i have now 5 rods and reels

No sound..

You forgot the tippet protection..

Looks like a copper swan but egg sucking version

I make a crawdad pattern on a 60 degree jig hook with a tungsten bead out of nothing but a pheasant skin it can be stripped on 4/5 WT fly rod or dead drift it under a bobber on ultralight spinning gear. Look for it on Gunnar Bramers KZbin channel.

Little tip when putting your dubbing on don't go back and forth. Go in one direction and it'll stay on the thread better.

Hell yeah i gotta make one. I use spinning, fly and centerpin and have used this or anjig similar for all three and its great. Ive always put down a thicker chenille first and was curious if anyone did one like this.

Just wanted to let you know that I also love to shop TEMU also I have used the lures off TEMU and they're great

Thanks for the content. Crawfish seem to work on just about every fish in my area..
