As an update--I have now checked this bag several times on flights around the country and even overseas. NO issues so far. I have also started using it to store all my rods for local trips in my car to rivers in my area. I love this option as it holds all of my reels and rods (Trout spey, Euro and my 9' rods)-reels, spare tippet/leaders, mows tips, Korkers spare soles etc-- and I always have them on hand and ready to use at the rivers if I decide to do something different that day. It leaves my car much less cluttered and even my friends say "I am more organized" now. WOW.

Any updates? How did it go?

Your dangerous, poor hunter safety practices!

Try a Jack's Knot. Make sure it's tied Correct way.

Just clarifying. Was the dough placed in the fridge overnight?

Enjoyed your video! Fun on the 2wt trout spey. Thx for the info on the fly.

Love the channel! Glad to see you enjoying the Catawba.

Hello Richard, do you know the Brand of hair tie you use? I’ve been unable to find the kind with good variegations like yours. Thanks Dave

When other BWO flies don’t get eaten this one will.

I first tied egg like this about 40 years ago.

Awesome video those tower shoots sure are fun.

Thanks for your video. You have inspired me to try this section. It’s less than two miles from my shop.

I am a fly fishing guide and I have used the Davy Knot for years to tie all my size 14 and smaller flies to my tippet. I have never had a problem with this knot and it has caught browns up to 30 inches long. Rainbows up to 10 pounds. When you are explaining to people on how to tie that knot be sure and tell them not to pull on the tag end. Just clip the tag off if it is too long. It is a simple knot to tie and leaves very little tag if any to be trimmed off.

Beads are un nessasary.

Why not use red? Surely the sole will wear out before the hex, no?

I can’t believe you posted this video on KZbin targeting spawning fish that’s real crappy. Also, guides are supposed to be stewards of their fisheries he should lose his guiding privilege. What a POS.

Great point about adding lubrication to the O rings before installing. My old filter was stuck coming out and the new replacement would not seat and was leaking. I used some Olive oil and it made all the difference. Thanks for the video!

I have a couple questions about fishing this water! Could I send you a message and pick your brain a bit?

Dude. that is cool It has that nasty looking "maggot butt" too LOL

That psycho looked like a cross between Charles Martin Smith and Napolean Dynamite.😅

One of the many people/guides that fish spawning fish and brag about it. So unethical. I have seen the guides on the double Holston hold up over spawning fish. The three major guide services on these river are criminal because they actively fish spawning fish

Mc Grubin .....👍😁

I've caught plenty of bass, maybe up to 1.5lbs, on the Davy, and I am always surprised how strong it actually is.

Super cool; great vid; very helpful and thank you

Great idea

Davy or double Davy?

1 year later, how did they hold up ?

think these mop flies mimic caterpillars....

Found this video from your review of the tube on Clear Creek, thanks!

Just found your channel and subscribed. Wow what a day, what was the jig streamer pattern?

Great idea,I like the creativity here. I've been trying some flys with pencil balloons that look pretty good. Thanks.

great catches guys

Thank you Richard! You were an amazing guide and mentor during our trip! I'd love to work with you again in the future sometime, and I highly recommend anyone to you as a Fly fishing guide, mentor, or tutor. Thanks for helping me catch my 1st Trout on a Fly Rod! Please come out again as a PHWFF guide in the future.

Did you see that nice trout you spooked right by your feet at 4:30 when you were landing the foul-hooked rainbow?

Camera is too far away! But I get the jist. I wish I could have seen how you took it out of the refrigerator

I like the rod tube option too. Given the price of those Fishpond cases, I would worry about the case itself being destroyed if it went into checked baggage - I have seen too many suitcases and other more valuable items destroyed by baggage gorillas and the logjams on the conveyor belt. The same goes for the thin gauge aluminum tubes that good quality rods come in these days! At least if they require you to check the rod tube, the Plano case is probably tough enough to stand up to the gauntlet at checked baggage, and you won't be shedding tears if it sustains cosmetic damage. As an aside, I sure with that Fishpond would stretch that shorter case just one inch so my favourite 9'6" rods would fit. Has anybody tried fitting a nine-and-a-half footer in the short case? I am trying to decide whether or not to order the short case.

In the beginning of your videos, I cannot hear a word you are saying unless I turn the volume to max. Even then I struggle to hear the beginning. I usually hate turning volume to max, but in your case, you never put some annoying loud music or load cars or whatever others do in their introduction. After you start fishing, I can hear you much better perhaps because you get excited about the catch and talk louder. Love that part! In fact I love seeing you catch and release so much I have subscribed. Love to see you catching those nice fish! Keep the videos coming! Currently, I fish an indicator setup, usually wool light weight indicator on rivers and a sliding cork with toothpick indicator on lakes with barbless jig hooks and weighted beads to keep the slack out of the tippet to flies. Your videos make me want me to try the euro style rod set up on rivers. The 2wt. Moonshine sounds very sensitive and perfect for a beginner euro guy.

Those are called O-rings. Use the correct nomenclature please.

I still cannot pull this thing out.

Hey Richard, Thanks for video. I just bought the Epiphany 4w 10' and was wondering if I should get the 3-4w reel or 5-6w because of the larger arbor. This video helped me make a decision on 5-6w. Hows the reel doing for you after a year? It looks pretty bulletproof.

Greetings from Germany. Thank you for the nice review. TL

You have good content ! You should start Marking your video with time stamps on what you explain since your videos are longer just a suggestion haha but I’m also from nc and fish similar spots u film at and it’s very good euro nymphing pointers! Do you show your flies ? And also what setup are you using ? Reel and rod. Also what kind of leader do u like using in these videos ?

dont hotspot

Great job Richard, they look great :) Have you gained any experience with #16-18 hooks and respective wire sizes since you made this video? All the best, Andreas

Nice video Rich!

Nice session with your buddy! I had the same reaction the first time I saw a beaver 😂😀 I like your channel !

Wow your buddy caught a beauty of a brown

This is why woman always think men are messing around on them. Out in the creeks playing like kids. Love this.

Looks great! Can’t wait to try it

What is the name of the bridge?
