3 Useful Hacks For Fly Fishing

[@wschield608]

I can see right now until I get some wading boots and socks I need to wrap my shoes and laces with electrical tape. I hate the shoelace magnet! Yes, I’ll be the biggest geek on the water but hey, the fish won’t care. Right now I use the black caps designed to go on the bottom of chair legs on both ends of my cork grip. Drill a hole a little smaller than the shaft, cut a slit for the hook keeper, and slide it on. This changes the shape of your grip from a 1/2 to a full well and protects your cork from shreading. Another cap goes on the butt end. This protects your reel from mud, asphalt etc. Thanks for posting, Wes

For the reel gap. Grab your spool schmear around the spool with some light grease anything really like chapstick even. Then grab your UV resin from the tying bench. Put a drop or 2 at both sides of the gap. Use gravity to keep it from running off and then zap it with resin. Add a couple drops and cure them. Then pop the spool they'll be perfect.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Interesting. Not a fan of the grease. Sounds messy but then again, I have been known to have fumble hands at times. To each their own and thanks for sharing your way.

[@bryceg5709]

@@greenhornflyhorn no the grease is so the UV cement doesn't stick to the reel. Call it a release agent. You grease the edge of the spool so the UV resin only sticks to the frame not the spool itself. Then once you zap the resin there is no gap

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Dude!!! That was funny!! haha! Thanks for cracking me up today :)

[@richardandrews7232]

Great video. Just found your channel and subscribed. Another use is a small piece of the tape will make it easier to find your tippet end in the reel after storage.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Oh that’s a great tip! Thanks for that one, hopefully others check this comment out.

[@danbolton3180]

Our joke around the house is any tool with electrical tape on it was my father-in-laws. I picked up some 300# mono yesterday. I'll try using it for tippets.. 6 inch brookies are monsters.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Ha!! It just has so many uses. 300lb mono? Wow! Must be like a rope to tie ships in the yard!?!

[@danbolton3180]

Our local shop got a roll of 300# in. Jerry of Jerry's bait and tackle in Port Angeles Washington wanted me to make shrimp and crab eyes out of a foot of it. He also gave me a few feet of 80# to try. See how I worked in a plug for him internationally?

[@alexstewart7652]

With regards to the reel shown, the essential issue is, that it is awful, I know, I have one.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Still holding up for me and yes I am crossing my fingers but it has dealt with a lot of steelhead, salmon, bass, pike, trout etc and still works. Maybe I got lucky, who knows but can’t complain about the clearwater thus far.

[@jameswallace5830]

Cuts and line burns if flyfish large game

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Very true. Gloves are a pretty good solution.

[@jameswallace5830]

I tried gloves and tape I liked using tape steelhead and smaller and gloves for springers

[@greenhornflyhorn]

@@jameswallace5830 i’m a tape kinda guy too. I want to try some gloves eventually.

[@billjfitz]

Seems like a great way to add more trash to your local stream. Can’t figure out why everyone needs to be a fishing guide…

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Oh bud. You don’t throw your trash in the stream. Always throw in the proper trash bins. Boom! Also take your used split shot and tippet clips too🙂

[@patrickmcphee770]

I never cut myself while tying a knot in my life.

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Good Job Patrick! It sucks and hope you never do🙂

[@MTtyer]

furled leaders are your friend

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Never tried em. It’s so hard for me to deviate from the Harvey style leaders. I have heard the furled leaders are great. Thank you for reminding me.

[@DaveMitchellOutdoorsyStuff]

Taylor Swift wants you to teach her how to cast

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Haha! First lesson will be if she gets frustrated to just “Shake it off”!!

[@TheEzzieboy]

You said "undoubt-ably" instead of undoubtedly in your first sentence, so you lost a shitload of credibility points right there. The third tip you gave is solid. I always use electrician's tape to avoid "streamer finger".

[@greenhornflyhorn]

Damn, you’re right! “Street cred” is huge in fly fishing and it looks like I just blew it. Oh well, back to working at the carving station at Sizzler……
