Breaking the Surface: Dry fly fishing

[@joshmcintire8689]

Gollllyyyyy I could not wait for that conversation comparing fly fishing and spin fishing to end

[@BackyardBassin]

Nothing beats dry fly fishing! Amazing shots in this one!

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Thanks dude! Gotta love surface feeders

[@SuzanneEMD]

This footage makes me appreciate dry fly fishing more. Thanks!

[@albionangling]

Wow, amazing video lads. Some amazing shots here, seriously good stuff, subscribed 👍

[@gemmetthall]

These videos are as close as it gets to the real thing. I really appreciate the care, detail, and attention you put into all of this. Got me plotting my next day out

[@thevirtualfishingguide3429]

Awesome video-thats brown jumping was SICK!

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Thanks dude!!

[@williammiller353]

Awesome video, got chills watching you guys hook those two large browns especially the close up of the one taking the dry fly. Found your stuff after watching the Wild Fly podcast you did, beautiful work on this one.

[@liamgiardino]

He doesn't miss!! Another amazing video!!

[@bjrnthorness1151]

your cinematography is top notch bro. awesome video. so glad that dry fly season is finally here.

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Thanks homie! Its go time

[@toreandrenilsen3663]

Fishing along the potatoshed in HF. That stretch holds a lot of big browns. Wish I had a camera there during the Green Drake hatch for a couple of weeks ago... Great footage and camera angles :-)

[@PhelpsontheFly]

shhhhhhh ;) fun times down there. It was absolutely on fire! Thanks dude

[@flyfishingwithphil7676]

That is fly fishing at its best, awesome!

[@bugbiteflytying]

Absolutely beautiful! Really well put together. Those fish are sick

[@stephencooper8043]

Amazing video, well made. More please.

[@trentscharters1494]

Ok. I guess I'm just gonna sit here, tie flies and watch all of these. This is put together so well. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@throwinflies1977]

Sweet footage! Killer quote at the end Will 🤙 love your work!

[@trinitycastner2165]

This might be the coolest video on KZbin

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

Yo! Way rad video guys. You ever get the itch to come run around the jungle just let me know.

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Thanks dude, will do!

[@patrickcotter7093]

Aloha. Good job boys. Show whole stoke ,hatch, misses and to net. dry fly all day if can.

[@justinfulmer5085]

This is SO SICK

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Thanks dude!

[@eddyaruda486]

Great video! Liked and subscribed! I have a tough question because there are so many great places to fish in Montana. I live in Sanders County, MT, and can now relocate to anywhere in Montana. If you had to pick the best place in MT with a decent size city (e.g. Bozeman, Missoula, etc.) to be centrally located for fishing where would that be? Ty.

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Eddy that is a great question, and is something I ask myself quite often. I personally think that Bozeman is the most centrally located metropolitan area for fly fishing. There are some incredible rivers like the Madison, Missouri, and the Yellowstone all within a days drive from town.

[@eddyaruda486]

@@PhelpsontheFly Ty!

[@FreeFormFlyFisher]

Dope video. Looking forward to watching more. New sub. Tight lines

[@Jaimelapoesie]

I hate dry fly fishing, but watching it is so fun... now back to tying perdigons.

[@struck2soon]

I concur with pretty much everything you said! Great camera work, this clip is a credit to you Will.

[@BROWLANDROSS]

eyuuu! YSR, great vid

[@vlb1176]

Good stuff!!!

[@jlflyfshr7646]

Loved the footage at 4:10. When I miss the hook set that is definitely not the reaction that I have. some choice words and head shakes is usually my reaction. greats vids keep it up

[@mcmedia1118]

Good stuff!! Just spent a week on that beat. Wish I wouldve picked up the camera a little more...

[@colton1301]

Awesome!

[@tbfreund]

Sick!

[@danburke5417]

Phenomenal video. New sub after that one! Keep em' comin'

[@PhelpsontheFly]

Glad to hear it bud, will do!

[@hunterellstrommedia]

loved the video, your discussion at 3:00 made me think... is Euro nyphing Fly fishing. Because your not so much casting the weight of the line vs casting the weight of the bead head of your fly. thoughts or input?

[@PhelpsontheFly]

That is a very interesting thought. It's certainly similar jig fishing- bouncing the flies off of the bottom and keeping your line tight. Based on our conversation in the video I would have to say it is technically not fly fishing because you are casting the weight of the flies.

[@southbaygladiator7748]

Do you even understand euro nymphing. Before it got its fancy name, euro was tight lining. Tight lining is how fly fishing basically started. The amount of lack of knowledge involved in these comments and this video is killing me.

[@micah723]

Big browns on dry flies reminds me of the green river in Utah. The fish will be sipping midges in an Eddie and you throw a big hopper in their and catch a 20 inch brown!

[@PhelpsontheFly]

That sounds amazing- hard to beat that!

[@montanastrongremodelrenova1632]

What river are you guys fishing if you dont mind me asking?

[@tylervisina31]

Just. Wow.

[@TopSecretVid]

So where is this ...besides out West

[@patrickcotter7093]

Oh and in slippas, not even boots, no waders so rad

[@Beskidzkie_Potoki]

lovley vid

[@ericstewart4732]

Sick.

[@mikemaynard2044]

That definition would eliminate Euro style from "flyfishing". Weight of jig pulls

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Dope content just found ya 🤘

[@Codyalbertson21]

How about using a net

[@bradcook6807]

Boys, back in 50s-60s you could buy spinners and rapalas for flyrods

[@anvilhead59]

You can tie a rapala on your fly line (sacrilege!) but once you do, you are no longer fly fishing. Its weight may not allow the rod to load correctly. Go ahead and try it on your rod. :) Reminds me of Mother's Day Caddis. If a fish takes anything, assume it's your fly.

[@PhelpsontheFly]

I might have to try that just to see what happens haha. Yes, that's pretty much how this fishing was in the light conditions. Very hard to see the spinner on the water. If I saw a rise anywhere near my fly I just set it. When in doubt, jerk it out!

[@fiddlerontheriver608]

BS. Have you seen streamers these days?

[@southbaygladiator7748]

Oh god all the people I can’t stand. Been fly fishing since I was 7. 40 years old now. Guide for a living. Seen all the fads come and go. Then we gotta listen to some 20 yr old who picked up a fly rod 2 yrs ago thinking because an indicator is on a fly line it’s not fly fishing! I imagine every time he fishes he views himself as brad Pitt in a river runs through it and has to hold himself back from jumping in. Then after a hard day of dry flying he sits back and drinks his handmade ipa, In his name brand outfit. Makes me wanna throw up. I can’t even stand fly fisherman anymore. I don’t even really know how to spin fish but honestly your friend is the type of people that make me wanna spin fish. Be careful who you let on the channel with you.

[@joecalifornia1579]

What he said! Killer video, but your boy Carter was so damn annoying. “I’m too cool for indicators bro....”

[@KimchiJerry]

Someone should tell the dude on the left that sounds high that some people use a clear water bobber and a fly and cast it on spinning gear lol I don’t but I’ve seen people use that a lot now.

[@wildman579]

Bro just fish and shut up geez fly fisherman are such divas
