How To Catch Trout With Floats & Flies (GIANT TROUT HOOKED!)

[@deedcaro719]

Caught, cleaned and cooked my first trout today for lunch, and I don't think I would have been successful with out all the knowledge I've learned from you guys. I can't thank you all enough for one of the best lunches I've ever had. cheers!

[@maxtonjohan8064]

Pro tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.

[@drakejaxon9417]

@Maxton Johan Yea, have been using Flixzone for years myself =)

[@kermartsVODs]

Or just you know buy a fly rod lol

[@nloutdoors9287]

I never knew I could use flys without fly rods I’m so pumped this is awesome!!!

The float idea works great fly fishing in lakes. It is just too difficult to get your fly out as far as you sometimes need to with a fly rod if you are fishing from a bank. So the spinning rod and float do dramatically increase your casting distance. One fly that works very well here in the southwest is a "pistol-pete" fly; simply a #10 wooly worm with a small propeller on the front. A slow steady retrieve is needed to keep the small propeller moving. I always enjoy your videos and especially the tips you give along the way.

I discovered this way to fish a few decades back, almost by accident. I went hiking in the WA state mountains up to a remote lake & spent 3 days there. I tried everything I could think of to get the big rainbows to bite. Salmon eggs, spinners, spoons etc. Nothing would work, not a single bite. Then on the final day I was there, late afternoon, I had an idea come out of nowhere, I then removed a fly from a rooster tail type spinner, tied it on and put a big red & white bobber about 5 feet above it tossed it out there. Wham!! A nice trout right off the bat. Again. And again, trout after trout. In about 30 minutes I had 5 nice trout. Then the sun began to go down and fishing was done. I left next morning but never forgot about a bobber and fly. Lesson learned.

In my years of looking youtube fisherman, Carl and Alex have the best channel with great big fish and story BUT by far you are my nr.1 when It comes to guides, setups, tips. No cringe music and shit just straight to the point and thats it.

[@nanuq6752]

Thank you for the tips! Took my daughter fishing on her birthday, and she caught her first ever trout on this setup. Great memories, and good fun. Grateful.

[@Texburrito03]

I love this setup with water- filled bubbles too. Great tutorial!

[@crackerjack9120]

I learned to use flies on UL gear and pull behind my inflatable pontoon. Even on slow days I catch fish. On good days, I am catching two at a time. You gave me an idea with stopping the action for the fly to sink. Since I began pulling flies, I have not a one day without catching something. Large blue gilled are great fighters.

[@davidrobinson6844]

Great Video! I’m a lifelong fly fisherman and can’t wait to try this technique. Addicted Fishing’s Videos are the Bomb.

I love this video, nice to see I'm not the only one who does this.

[@jarodlindsey7362]

Love how you guys tech the techniques with the science behind it, especially love your videos when i want to try something or somewhere new

[@360fishingadventures8]

Last year I went to a small fork of a famous salmon river in the Olympic Mountains in washington. I only brought a spinning rod instead of the fly rod (don't even know why I fly fish all the time), and I ran into some GIANT picky wild rainbows. Found a fly box and used this exact technique and I caught a 24×19 inch massive rainbow. After that I proceeded to catch a 20×14 rainbow next cast. Used this exact technique. Most extraordinary thing in fishing I've ever done hands down. Next time I fish there I'm gonna fish the fly rod. Thanks for the video, brought back one of my favorite fishing memories! 🙂

[@thecount1001]

this is great. fly fishing is so bloody complicated and nearly impossible to manage the rods and line from a canoe. this is a great alternative. keep it simple, why i love spinning set ups.

I have learned a lot from you guys and appreciate all the extremely helpful information you post. Im a local here in Washington and would absolutely love to go fishing with you guys

[@RocknR00ster]

That's awesome, that is the exact same Okuma setup I have and use. I highly recommend this rod/reel combo, it's super light wight, strong, and fun to catch fish of all types and sizes on! The rod I use is 6'6", and the line I really like using is Fishing Sir's Godline S 8lb with TroutMagnet 4lb mono-leads (best mono I've ever used and I have gone through a lot line in my many years of fishing). I also tie it together with a double uni knot, the two lines work very well together with this knot. You can also cast super far with no added weight. I can fling a 1/16oz jig, by it's self, out pretty dang far and it's always where you want to cast it, and with little effort. I was just fishing with it today at Foster Reservoir and some ponds just outside Sweet Home, OR, and had a lot of fun with Trout and Bass! Love the videos, very good instructions. It's awesome to see a group like this on KZbin representing the great NW! Keep up the great work!

[@jayzee7911]

I landed a 7 lb sucker the other day with that rod. Okuma is way underrated.

[@beebob1279]

Years ago I watched a little boy use this on a smaller stream on opening day. He had his limit of eight (at that time it was eight fish a day) in about twenty minutes. A small round bobber and a nymph of some kind. He was back the next year and did the same thing. After that I never saw him again on the stream. It was in northeast Pennsylvania.

[@jakeyxjakey1]

going out trout fishing for my first time tomorrow. thanks for the great vid. wish me luck! 🐠

[@thomasflickinger1949]

Used a similar technique many a year ago, very effective. watching the vid reminds me of simpler days, a fly ,spinning rod and float. Sometimes had only two or three patterns. Caught a lot of trout. Again thank you for your tutorial. PS will try this with unweighted TM's.

[@B.A.Bassangler]

Great tips for float n fly, and I also love those Okuma UL's for drifting, but definitely gotta give the flies a try. I recently saw a video where the guy took the hooks off of a floating Rapala as a float. There were also different applications for forward or backward floats. Thanks for the tips and give the pooch a treat on me!

[@sleepyturtle8284]

Thats a cool new technique for me. Def gonna try that soon. Thanks Jordan

[@volbster2]

Thanks for showing this. I just don't have the patients to fly fish so it nice to learn about this option!

[@bornhunter2885]

Good info dude, suggestion tip your rod to the 10 & 2 position to pull the fish away from the weeds. This is very effective when fighting a big fish, works great when using ultra light rods.

[@markoberlatz1248]

Great videos, I like the introductions to fly fishing. Video is a great way to learn fly fishing techniques. My fly fishing skills took off once they made how to vhs tapes back in the day.

[@Hi-di6fd]

I’m a fly fisherman. And I’m starting to look in the spinning gear because sometimes the wind is just too strong or places are too tight to do any kind of fly casting. Interesting to see how you can use flies with spinning gear. I don’t know why More Spinner guys don’t put a lot more positives in their retrieve. It’s almost like most people throw it out there and reel it in as fast as they can.

[@SometimesTurtle]

It's all I know so far, and it's amazing, I also am told by many that it's an old school strategy that is tried and true.

[@jasonpullan488]

Cool video, hey Jordan, look up Scotsman, Alexander Wanless, his books written in the 1940s and 50s, he pioneered the technique, interesting that his methods were banned on some Scottish salmon river s

Hey Jordan, looking into a new ultra lite setup, which model Celilio rod do you use? They have multiple lengths and whatnot. Thanks. I’m leaning more toward the 7’6” rod myself, just curious to what you use and recommend in particular.

[@MikeKodner]

Nice video

[@John_bGoode]

Would you recommend the 7'6 celilo UL or Light for jigging? Aiming for stocked trout

[@wuquanchi]

one guy in the lake, super calm water no flow, using this setup and just casting and waiting, no action to lure at all, and crushed the fish!!! Damn, I used tons of lures, and cast and retrieve didnt work!!! I still cannot believe my eyes how productive this rig is!!!! and yes I caught tons of fish in that lake using the cast-and-retrieve method!

[@mixedmartialnutrition1746]

flies are great for many species the picky blue gill that dont bite plastics can attack flies.

[@craigwheaton2506]

Great video, what model rod is it ?

[@mcscotty325]

I use a dropper fly between my bobber and lure.

[@virginiacopeland108]

Thumbs up!!! Clark

[@TopBananaMan]

I have a question, I'm fairly new to fishing and don't know alot about fly fishing however I think grasping the concept you're showing here quite well. My question is if I'm using this set up with a Wolly bugger or nymph (which to my knowledge are known as wet flys because they fall under the water) I use the technique you're showing here with the slow retrieve and rod jerks? And if I were to use a dry fly I would make my cast and just leave the fly sit for an extended period of time? Love the videos

[@nicholasstephens4956]

I been wondering if this would work ! I have these little bobbers and didn’t know what to use them for. Time to try a fly for the first time! I been dying to learn to fly fish

[@merchman4175]

Was there no weight used? Is the bobber enough weight to cast it out there?

[@chivas1995sep]

If you have an ultralight setup yes, if you don't use a water bobber

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Is the okuma celilo a good rod? I was planning on getting a new one.

[@bigeblunders]

when fishing small creeks, I assume some float-ant would be good to use ?

[@OnRappel]

What purpose does the float serve? So the line doesn't weigh down the fly? Or maybe so you can cast futher?

[@corvette_jake7225]

Does the heavier line help cast further or just float on the water better? I always thought that lighter line allowed further casts due to less drag through the air

[@faisalrkhawaja]

Hey Jordan. What length of Celilo rod are you using here?

[@jaredtbrush]

Can you make a video of you studying the insects

[@vonster22]

I usually smoke a dube to get in the fish zone..but watching the bugs is cool too........

[@grant0410]

Is that rocky ridge ranch? I recognize the lake and Barn/lodge thing. My aunt and uncle live next door. And the fact that all of the trout are tankers.

[@jihohan6677]

How do you cast that thing out there? Does the fly have enough weight or is it the bobber you are using? Would trout magnet e-z float work? or do I need a weighted float?

[@AddictedFishing]

Jiho Han weighted floats or water bobbers work great!
