[@eFishin]

Thanks!!

Thank you so much

[@eFishin]

Glad to help!

I guess this would be possible with a actual fly rod too, right? Just need enough backbone to cast a heavy bobber/fly rig.

[@eFishin]

I’m not sure about using a fly rod. Mainly because most fly rods do not have a rear grip that is handy when casting. I would try and find a FNF rod. Bass Pro has one in their micro lite series. Thanks for stopping by!!

[@Byrdman5]

It can be done, check out R.W. Fly videos on here. I haven’t quite dialed it in on the fly rod so I’m also trying it out on a spinning rod.

[@sherrykelley2038]

How deep was your fly?

[@eFishin]

about 10'. I generally fish it between 8 and 12 foot.

Every good fisherman knows you need hot fishing on a cool day and great fishing buddies. You all must be great fishermen since you have all in this video. Be blessed. My friend.

[@eFishin]

I don't know if we are great fisherman, but we have fun and end up catching a few along the way. Thanks for stopping by!

[@danward2490]

Are you using long steelhead rods??

[@eFishin]

No it’s a float n fly rod. It’s a Silstar LX802N. I’ve had it for a long time and not sure if they still make them. Bass pro, B&M and Yank-um custom has a float n fly rod. The steelhead rod would probably work too.

@@eFishin thank you. I used to fish Dale hollow occasionally when I lived in Franklin Tennessee but I fished center hill a lot more as I found it much easier to fish. Dale hollow was tough unless you fish it at night or in the winter time. Super clear water, clear as sturgeon bay!!!

[@danward2490]

@@eFishin are you using shad colored flys or crawfish colored? People up north use flys for walleye fishing alot

[@eFishin]

@@danward2490 I've had those days on Dale where I wondered if there were any fish in the lake for sure.
