Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnhaswell2595]

Thank's Tim, really informative videos, especially like the diagrams and explanations on washing line and dry fly on still waters which I had tried of but never had any success with.

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

Thanks . Its a method well worth sticking with . I found the best way to get confident on the dries was to try them for an hour every session I was out . Eventually you will start to get results . Thanks for watching

[@chrisharvey7651]

Awesome vid will be trying that tomorrow!!

[@allanjames2744]

Thanks for putting videos like this up where we get to see the set up, i'm new to fishing and it's so confusing trying to figure out when i'm supposed to use a tapered leader or straight flourocarbon or a taper with flouro tied to the end of it. Would this be the same if you were fishing buzzers, straight Flourocarbon from the fly line ?

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

Hi Allen , I'm glad the vids help . Ok basically don't bother with tapered leaders at all unless fishing rivers ! .. Straight fluorocarbon from the spool is the best way to go . If you decide to try a team of flies use the same fluorocarbon for the droppers with a 3 turn water knot . Keep it simple . Tapering leaders is absolutely unnecessary in day to day fishing situations on still waters . If you have any issues with turnover then the best way to sort this out is to have an hours casting lesson as there is usually an issue here . Thanks for watching .

[@newby783]

@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 Thanks Tim, as a sea angler who just started fly fishing. I had the exact same question and this has answered it perfectly. I just couldn't see how a tapered leader would make any difference to my beginner casts on still water.

[@garrickeckardflytying]

Great video Tim. Love how you covered that one which unfortunately snapped. Doesn't get much better than a bit of dry fly fishing 🎣 👍

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

lol Doesn't always go to plan ! Best way to get them !! Thanks for watching !

How do make your degreaser new to fishing thank if you can help

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXbcdaOZfpmsepY there's the link to my vid on making degreasant . Hope it helps .

[@philthepostie1]

Hi Tim great videos. Been fishing a couple of years but not had much success on dries. Think my reflexes are too slow lol. I find a lot of the time the fish just seem to come up and just nosebut my fly.

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

So make sure to religiously de grease .. this can be a reason for refusals . Also try changing the fly size , go smaller or bigger ... these are usually reasons for refusals . I tend to use size 10s early and late season and 14s and 16s the rest of the year .

[@ibelieve1468]

Great vid, can I ask is that a Wychwood line if so which one thanks

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

Yes its the Wychwood connect series Rocket floater .. I rate them highly , and they are the right price ! Floating line prices are getting out of hand !! Well worth an investment if your looking to renew . Thanks for watching

[@garystedman324]

Hi Tim 👋 can u tell me how to tie droppers line

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqLMoJqCi9-dhc0 Hope this helps mate ... simple and effective

[@trevorluft6032]

Does the 8lb fluorocarbon pull them under and what size foam and flies did you use?

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

It helps but you must degrease especially in a flat calm . Those were Size 10s . Foam is about 4mm .. big enough to keep them up . Check out the link to the tying vid

[@algorhythm3362]

Great video Tim, thanks. What weight line/rod were you using?

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

7WT outfit , medium action rod .. the Wychwood T2 and connect series Rocket floating line ... perfect for the job

[@Jan007524]

Nice vid Tim. You ever tried suspender hoppers early season?,

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

I prefer hoppers later in the year . They have a bigger profile and lay flatter in the water .. these emergers really dig in and hang vertical which I think is important ... Had some superb sport on the popper hoppers on Grafham last year August onwards !

[@neilpalmer8334]

Hi Tim just wondering how often do you degrease the leader and gink the flies

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

It varys depending on the conditions but in a nutshell I will dry and gink the flies after every fish or when the fly becomes waterlogged . I degrease the leader often , especially in a flat calm .. some days I maybe doing it every 10 casts other days only once in a session ! Whenever the leader fails to sink I will degrease .. it does make a huge difference to catch rates and only takes a second ..... A note about using floatant / gink .. less is more .. too much gink can have a negative effect and actually sink the fly , I find drying the fly on my shirt or an Amadou patch much more effective than constantly re applying ..
