Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!

Dan, I envy the number of locations you get to fish and the time you get to enjoy yourself. Thank you for reminding the rest of us to get out and play more often, while we're stuck at home doing "honey dos".

[@FlyFishDan]

Thanks Al - empty nester recently and I am taking full advantage of that! :))

[@flyguy3827]

Nice cast - not often you can reel in a escaping kayak…Lol

[@FlyFishDan]

Doesn't happy too often :))

[@charlieboutin3341]

I love it when it’s ME in the zone! 😂 That was a Big crawdad..we have some like that around here..Lunker Largemouth bait! Although I’ve never used one, but do tie some large patterns that work great! Great kayak recovery cast also! 👍👍 Y’all have a great one Dan and Kobe. Fish On! 🎣🙂

[@FlyFishDan]

Thanks Charlie - that would be a heck of a bait!! It was a good day for sure - so fun to watch Koby in the 'zone' :))

[@leemowers9395]

At least you had another Kayak to go chase it down if you needed to. Fun day with Kobe. Nice video, thanks Dan.

[@FlyFishDan]

That is true...but I was unsure how I would get it back being that I need two hands to paddle and try to tow the other along with me...I was hoping to just make the cast...and I did! :))

[@anadromous9200]

“They don’t like being stuck in the face!”.. fish breaks off and sticks him in the hand 😂

[@FlyFishDan]

Lol - I know right, karma! The fish got even with me on this day :))

[@raymonddoerr2523]

Kayak on Dan! 😂 20 incher for me on the Yakima today, it was about time I landed a monster!!

[@FlyFishDan]

Wow! That is nice!! Not often you catch them that size on the Yakima, well done!

[@hntrains2]

Great boats, great place, great views, and a great day. What else could one want? It's only the catch-and-release thing I don't get.

[@themidnightrider6805]

Casting skills 💯 love the videos 🤘

[@FlyFishDan]

Thank you! I need to make that cast for sure...otherwise the chase would have been on!

[@caseyjohnson738]

chunky bows, cigars, and beer - not a bad day. Dig the overhead drone footy!

[@caseyjohnson738]

nice recovery! I've gone swimming for the Purist before - I'll remember that tip!

[@FlyFishDan]

Love days like that :))

[@FlyFishDan]

I had a back up option to chase it down with the Blackfoot - I just didn't want to figure out how to tow and row at the same time! Lol. A swim?!? Crazy!

[@yamittr250]

Was just there, first time long drive - NO FISH. Bite was off for about 12 of us.

[@FlyFishDan]

Wow - that is shocking to hear! Sorry that the bite was off!

[@briankelly6113]

I don't know...you could always take the other kayak out and tow the wayward one back....Great cast though!

[@FlyFishDan]

I was hoping to avoid that - plus casting at it made it far more dramatic!! :D

[@mobius012]

What stand up bar are you using on the blackfoot?

[@FlyFishDan]

That is from Yak Attack - command center (I think they call it)

[@mobius012]

@@FlyFishDan Thanks!

[@tigersteamer]

Were you useing sink tips?

[@FlyFishDan]

Not on this day - just a super long leader (12').

[@ryanward58]

dont forget the fish gods are also thirsty...

[@FlyFishDan]

Good point...next tip a sip will go into the lake :))

[@girdlebugboys]

Mud Bug!

[@FlyFishDan]

I big one at that!

[@gregoryroyack9931]

Fish bum shenanigans...

[@FlyFishDan]

Lol - exactly!

[@Ew221]

Any chance during your editing to have you mute the cursing? I love watching fly fishing with my little kids, but I'm starting to feel like I need to watch these without them.

[@FlyFishDan]

I can absolutely do that - I got a little lazy on this edit...I am sorry about that! I hadn't even considered that - I will be more mindful for sure. Cheers (and tell your kids sorry about that!!)
