fly fishing pocket water tactics

[@sirmegallot3276]

I know you said "theres nothing big in these pockets," but I would beg to differ sir! Here in the states the pocket water has been producing some of my biggest fish! Granted the water here does look small, but It's amazing what lurks behind some of these rocks and along the foam line running by the banks! Love your vids, I've learned a lot

[@TheFlymanJim]

Great job once again, you are a great instructor. I always enjoy watching your videos! Best Regards, Jim

[@dazachoman]

Great video! Reminds me of my home stream, boulder creek!

[@crphoto303]

One thing he does which is very good sportmanship is wet his hand prior to fish handling. Great video!

[@spikeconley]

Superb sport! love the accent and lingo here in the states :) That's some nice little water, not like the usual bigger, clear waters we see all the time from New Zealand.

[@troutboynz]

Excellent clip, thanks for sharing from New Zealand.

At 9:15, what knot is used to connect the two pieces of line perpendicularly for the dry fly?

[@woz240]

beautiful stream and wild brownies...but lets face it... we all still crave the 2lb + catch!

[@tgcthree]

Lovely video, per usual. Might you name the small rivers and streams you fish as a point of interest?

[@eifelflytying523]

Nice video ! - One question: What kind of rool you have used in this video ?

[@stevenhappel8089]

Careful, your hand was blocking the Sage logo for a moment there. lol...

[@lepetitpecheuralamou]

nice video . How tying you fly ?

[@Jeremy9999ish]

there sre trout in boulder creek? i did not know if we are talking about the same one, im from santa cruz

[@NordeggSonya]

There are a few tiny streams where I live and I have a great time catching lots of little fish while the big guys all go to the same wornout rivers to go for the big ones that are few and far between.

[@Tossdart]

Nice little show. Green which we will not see for two more months here.

[@6ConorFreestyle6]

What weight rod do you use on these small rivers?

[@JulianDiezGamboa]

man, you make it look so easy!! awesome video....

[@xXMizuJetXx]

What video camera do u use?

[@BKibalflyrods]

you better get an external microphone for your future videos;) Loving your videos btw

[@thomas.bill92]

awesome video. next best thing to getting out there and doing it is watching someone else do it well.

[@rjflower3462]

Variety is the spice of life. Fishing small streams with little trout like this is fun, but sometimes I enjoy all day with only a couple nice sized fish. I only keep fish when im camping and going to be eating the fish pretty directly anyways.

[@Micahweeks]

this is bigger water then i typically fish, but beautiful. I looked for your website and didnt find it. mind posting it?

[@epoxyx7922]

What fly reel do you use ? I really enjoy your videos :))

[@jimcarver4108]

What's the website? I would like to see how to tie the caddis. Thx.

[@bombingbloke]

how long is your leader?

[@liambethlendy6830]

Hey what wt fly rod is that and how long??

[@willyboyw.5771]

Liked the way you wetted your hand before handling the troutski--Hemingway would be proud. Where was the stream, Mate? Oh, wait, don't tell me. LOL

[@nijemipromatrac5131]

Why he don't use barbless hooks? Release of fish is so violent because of barbed hooks.

[@jriket]

Were are you fishing

[@jeanchri26]

Your river is splendid thanks for the video

[@gregkirchenbaum5766]

Gotta love a dry fly take that happens within the first second of the drift. No take? Recast!

[@bradplasterer]

good vid but your wrong about there being no big fish in the pocket water i fish that stream and have had loads of 12" fish out of the pockets

[@lojj999]

How do you detect bites?

[@haydenlindquist7006]

He's using a dry-dropper system. You use a dry fly that floats high on the water like an elk hair caddis, a stimulator. My personal favorite dry fly to use in a dry-dropper rig is a royal wulff just because it floats really well in turbulent water. You use the dry fly kind of like a strike indicator. If a fish takes the nymph that's attached to it the dry fly will sometimes dip under or, more than likely, make an unnatural kind of movement. You basically fish it just like you were using a strike indicator and whenever your dry fly does something that just looks funny, set the hook.

[@wildfisher]

A great video well done!

[@GabrielIvanflyesfishing]

Foarte tare boss

[@MatteoOnlyFlyFishing]

[@hobocan22]

well the first two are both wild brownies he even says on the second fish "what a nice wild trout"

[@AntonioAmaya28]

Esta muy bonito. Gracias.

[@StefanoMaldarelli]

Nice river .... you are fishing with a dropper system ...

[@Aldo21t]

nice rod LL?

[@goldeneaglevideos1]

+Aldo21t Sage

[@Aldo21t]

+goldeneaglevideos1 yes, that's what I'm asking, is it a sage light line. ..

[@goldeneaglevideos1]

oops. for some odd reason I thought you said R.L. Winston. But you said ll not rl

[@PRSCheVelle]

good video man,, but we'd like to see the fish to , damn it,

[@AffluentStudio]

we love small streams!

[@megaplatypus]

You can see '#3 Line' on his rod

[@mercedesizuel9735]

No barbless hooks, is it? Bad thing!

[@snipingexpert911]

Nice vid

[@tinapelletier6249]

terrible mending in this video, I'm sure he spooked a lot of fish

[@jakeatherly5243]

Why is he so afraid to get wet? Full chest waders on a summer day - he's got to be cooking in there.

[@DAVIDDAMIENR]

THANK YOU

[@reaper147000]

I wish had water like this available around where I live. My state has such a meat mentality about trout. I mean I enjoy taking a fish home for dinner now and then, but five is a little much. If you can eat that much, go to the store and save the sport for us.

[@444bamboo]

great vid thanks Sleepy

[@MatteoOnlyFlyFishing]

[@Jeremy9999ish]
