Fly Fishing VS Spin Fishing - Trout Fishing SHOWDOWN!!

[@AddictedFishing]

FLY OR SPIN?! What is going to win? 🤔

[@fishingwithmagnes4114]

SPIN!!!

[@360fishingadventures8]

Fly

[@fishingforfun3317]

Always spin🧜‍♂️

[@jjtb7580]

i carry both so...

[@bobo_058]

I wasn’t voting for one I just wanted to see you catch a fish

[@imagingconcepts]

I think landing a fish on a fly feels more rewarding, put tossing a spinner is more versatile but then again, fishing with a stick and a string is a better technique than sitting on the couch.

[@pelewads]

You should check out their video on using flies with a spinning rod.

[@TigerJake2007]

I use a 7' ultra light spinning rod which gives it almost that fly rod feel when landing fish. Plus it allows me to throw streamers as well. Fly fishing is great, but it feels like it has almost become and elite cult where I live. Lots of the fly guys look down on the spin fisherman. I handle fish with care, pinch barbs down, etc. Just strange. I'll keep my spinning rod and keep catching more fish. Great video. His stuff is always entertaining.

[@thecatchtherelease8982]

Lure fishing is no way near as versatile then fly mate, show me a size 22 midge lure you can cast on a spin rod when a midge hatch is on, and try and catch that fish that’s selecting feeding with a lure and not to mention you can’t a metal silver spoon and catch trout where the Action and all the hard work is done for you literally the only skill is casting placement where fly fishing every box has to be ticked so it makes it so much more rewarding. Especially here in Australia where we average brown trout around the 5-8lb mark.

[@tj1096]

CommentBoxParticipant2980 honestly that’s just wrong tho, you can seriously put a fly in almost any place, even the places you cant cast spinning gear.so maybe you don’t know what your talking about but your information is wrong, also look at a roll cast, it allows you to cast with trees right behind you. And even if there are people that close to you it isn’t close enough to make a difference in anything unless they are being stupid and scaring the fish, I do prefer to fly fish not around people but if you are it’s not like it will make a difference in your casting.

[@MrFunkyko]

CommentBoxParticipant2980 y’all need to chill, each way has their pros and cons. Shouldn’t be out here trying to one up each other just get in the water and have fun how you want

[@kathyleicester7306]

OK, just learning to fish. Watching Jordan's knot come loose at the 2:45 mark made my day. Says heaps about my character, huh? But it's so good to watch the pros screw up and just laugh and tie a new leader in about 10 seconds. It's THIS type of stuff I really appreciate about Addicted--watching real fishing, how to handle things. Love this channel. Just love it.

[@realjclar]

Catches more fish in a 25 minute video than I have in my whole life lol

[@chumlee9562]

Makes you wonder what lake is that

[@unclesam7660]

Amen

[@jamesmuro9286]

I just recently found these videos. As a guy that works in video production, these are very well done! Jordan, keep up the good work and keep 'em coming. As a novice fisherman, G-d knows I need all the help I can get!

[@stumpstump4235]

The more natural fly presentation for the win. P.s love you guys can't wait to see you guys visit Michigan or the mid west

[@JoelSzymczyk]

all methods have their time and place. I've been fly fishing and spin fishing since I was a small kid. Tying flies and making lures for almost as long. There is no "superior" way to fish. The more versatile an angler you can be, the better you can adapt to whatever variables mother nature brings. Some times it is just more pleasant and enjoyable to fly fish, some times the same for spin fishing. Anyone who is an elitist to any one method of fishing is a fool.

[@blakeblevins2129]

Definitely fly fishing for trout is superior since their diet is mainly bugs most they're life

[@SpacemanXC]

@Austin Ivey Same!! I use flies on my spinner rod, almost the same way i use power bait with no weight. Just toss it slightly up stream, let it drift passed some good looking structure or shadows, and wait for that line to go tight!

[@adamlucas1185]

[@grant0410]

This is a really cool comparison that I have always wanted to see. The res shown at 1:10 is prolly my #1 or #2 favorite place to catch trout.

[@brennangrout6903]

Fly all the way! Just started stillwater fishing last year and it is so much fun. I bought Hal Janssen's Stillwater book last year and have learned a lot about stillwater fishing. I use a fiberglass old school Fenwick rod and learned how to tie my own leaders. Really informative and I actually catch fish now lol. Thank you for this video, love it!!

[@Riverbugger]

Excellent video as always Jordan. I enjoy both styles of fishing!!

[@chazzclark4835]

Easily my favorite video from you guys. You are hilarious... I felt like I was out on the water with you feeling all you where going threw. 😂

[@fishingwkate]

It’s so cute how Little is so into fishing too. Some niceeee bows! I’m a spinner girl at heart and have only fly fished once but never caught anything. Maybe once I do that’ll change my mind.

[@kenf3859]

That other video with the water bobber and fly I been nailing trout and got a nice 2 pound large mouth thanks for the tip

[@xdigitalxskaterx]

New to fishing. Still looking for the opportunity to go out and fish. But our weather has been insanely hot. Love the style of fly fishing, its definitely an art of it own. Keep up the fun video's.

[@matthewjeffres1289]

Great challenge! I have fished both over the years. I think if you had used a soft plastic jig on the spinner rod it would have been a more even challenge. I tend to lean to the spinner rods here in Georgia because in many of the places I fish casting a fly rod is almost impossible.

[@gibfkn]

The dog was like, let me get a bite of that tasty fish!

[@skylazart]

IMHO, the more you like the tackle and the lure/bait, the more successful you’ll be. Nice video man! Thanks for sharing

[@Chris-we9pb]

"I'm stuck in the bushes, oh God, I'm shaking" lolol this was a great fish off

[@limonc77]

When are you dudes coming to Idaho? Recently relocated to Boise from Texas, and I can't get enough... I'm Addicted! Great connect! I'm thoroughly entertained, educated, and inspired!!

[@craigmike6779]

Was cool watching you fly fish and use my favorite spinner I use that one and the black one

[@markpeterson8724]

My 2 favorite methods!!! great content once again.

[@markkosa1]

Here in Montana it is like the archery vrs gun argument. If you want the fun and sport of it use a bow, if you want to eat elk every year use a rifle. Same with the fly rod, more sporting but I limit out with the right spin gear most days while the fly guys are busy tying and casting...

[@norincofan1949]

your local fly anglers suck then. flies will beat anything you can throw on spinners every season, and any day of the week on running water. lakes are a different story.

[@macsmith2092]

That was a ton of fun to watch!

[@katejordan9569]

Fly all the way......unless you need dinner ! Still waiting for an episode on filming and editing your fishing adventures staring Shawn the invisible man. Bruce@Palmer, AK

[@davidlengert5449]

Great Job! Lots of fun.

[@jasongraika6019]

What a awesome video Jordan.

[@williamb1791]

Flies always out fish spinners on mountain lakes. Stocked lakes I think it's about 50/50.

[@shearuyle9434]

And what a BEAUTIFUL win it was!!!!!

[@donaldmorgan9149]

Spin wins by the simple fact that you had to switch sides of the lake to fly fish. Spin will work the entire lake regardless of wind. I fish both and it's about 50-50.

[@jordanstevens2956]

That was awesome! Love this type of content!

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

double Improve clinch knot works great .like a clinch and uni combined

Big fly fisherman!! That was so money!!!

[@andy1or2]

Was pulling for that stone fly ;) Outstanding video, very glad I subscribe to this channel ....funnest video I've seen during lockdown ...!!

[@JiM_aYYYY]

This was a great video, I love fishing every technique. They all have their use, What fly fishing set up did you use in this time?

[@andand1219]

I called it . the fly for the win. Love fly fishing. Catch or not still fun... Keep up the good work

[@isaacmannella2473]

This was flippin hilarious... and educational. I am less intimidated by fly fishing now.

[@705exposure7]

Nice fish Jordan, you da man! Fly killed it

[@brunobormann-ULTRALIGHTRS]

Yeeew !!Ultralight Spin brothar !!! Soludos from Brazil🌲🎣🎥

[@pelewads]

When I only have one rod, It's a spinning rod. But I always have a clear, tear drop bobber. Along with my nymphs and dry flies, so I can still use them. Sometimes, trout are more interested in insects. You have a video on this technique.

[@HippyNerd95]

Im still trying to master trout fishing. Could you guys do a how to choose colors and presentation with all weather conditions

[@Gambeli02]

Had my best day ever on the mountain reservoir. Working my way towards the dam, I used a 1.5" bright silver spoon and caught my limit (4) in Rainbows in an hour. Coming back, I used a dry fly ant pattern with a bubble bobber and caught/released 12 fish in the next hour.

[@Charsept]

I have both but fighting a fish on my fly rod is just more fun.

[@williamlilienthal3935]

The fly will catch more.

[@kevinmcbee9384]

Ahhh man was rooting for the spinning setup all the way, but good and entertaining video for sure!

[@sleepyturtle8284]

Jordan u r so funny man. Lmao. Those are some gorgeous rainbows bro

[@ianlance7229]

I’m definitely a fly guy

[@FireflyFishing]

Same!

[@mariocolunga0291]

I want to try fly fishing

[@benjaminwaterman6964]

Is it just me, or are all the fish in that lake over 30 inches? PS The Fly Rod set up is always superior, it just depends on the technique and the skill of the angler

[@ianhamrick2342]

It’s probably a rainbow trout farm i have one of those near me they have some 40 inchers

[@ryker1725]

[@SteelheadJEDi]

The combo of no stretch in braid and setting the hook like you are trying to stay on a bucking bronco might break some leaders😉

[@scottbakersb]

Great video we need more fly fishing videos.

[@robertjordan2155]

Fly fishing when done right is more enjoyable but every style has its benefits and getting outdoors fishing and being a respectful angler is the best part. I have been recently learning the 2 handed switch fly rods for steelhead and Jordan needs to trying swinging streamers for steelhead with his excitement to aggressive fish takes... tight lines to all

[@jimmyfaherty8588]

Go cast for cast. Time of year, water temp, color, also, noticed your hooking fish next to the fresh water inlet. "Fake lake".

[@petejansen8098]

Nice thank you.

[@robbiegriffin9558]

I was definitely rooting for the spinning set up

[@amm7537]

This was a lot of fun.

[@SledorFish]

Trout fishing is one of the few times fly fishing can actually be more effective than conventional gear. Jordan's happy dance when he hooked that last fish was hillarious!

[@joeschranz4525]

SledOrFish honestly it’s a lot easier to catch bluegill on the fly too

[@blakeblevins2129]

Salmon and steelhead on fly is better

[@norincofan1949]

@@joeschranz4525 mainly because most flies are small enough. trout magnet + UL spinning rod is just as good for bluegill. they'll attack just about anything, the only issue is actually hooking them

[@magicalfungi3206]

maybe on a small stream, but not in my experience

[@joshsamuelson1793]

I do find I get more bites and catches on the fly, even modern poppers. Fake baits on the spinner just can't compare.

[@remithivierge8528]

That's a awesome catch with that spinner. I didn't watch for the fly one yet. I'm still watching ! :)

[@remithivierge8528]

Well. You rooted for the right team. haha gg

[@shaansingh2251]

good technique/presentation is paramount for either technique, however I find resident fish attack lures based on territorial aggression. I use ultralight spin gear, can either spin or nymph/streamer with a float indicator or split shot. quite effective.

[@stanmg8941]

Love it.Im a fly guy so I was pulling for the fly

[@FireflyFishing]

Agrred!!!

[@osheaoutdoorspnw]

Dang,banger of a trout.

[@4truth69]

I used flyrod only from the bank in moving water where I can easily reach the fish. Spinning gear for boat drifting or bank fishing in the wind to get longer casts. Both are mega fun but fish hooked on a fly rod give a more in depth and meaningful conversation between the fish and me.

[@rogerdavis2056]

Sweet great fish I'm in Washington thanks for the video! Tight Lines.

[@Cattledogfever]

Really cool video, very entertaining, well done 👍

[@alanfoley5340]

Fly fishing for the fun fighting and the spinner for numbers and worse conditions.

[@DirtyBob200X]

I'm a spin guy myself although I've never tried the fly. My setup is a Phenix Elixir 6'6" ultralight rod with a rebuilt Penn 430ss (can't beat 'em) loaded up with 4lb fluorocarbon.

[@geraldswanson]

Best video yet. Love it

Dude you tied that blood knot quick! Sorry but I don't have any trust in that knot. I switched to the Alberto knot and have not broke off yet. Love the vids! Thanks for sharing.

[@williamklein6749]

In streams and rivers - fly fishing 3 to 1. In lakes and ponds - spin fishing 2 to 1.

[@trautist0457]

I respectfully disagree. For both rivers and stillwaters a good spin fisherman can outfish fly fishermen. A skilled spin fisherman knows his stuff and armed with the same flies (nymphs, midges, emerges) and jigs can really cover and fish a river well. Ditto for stillwaters. The newer braids are gamechangers for the spin fisherman.

[@grigoriyberegovoy4507]

Hello. I really like your video. and also I really like your funny dog. Good dog.

[@CoachPeteIFHS]

You should give it a shot! Recently got into fly fishing 2 years ago after spin fishing my whole life. Definitely gives a different perspective!

[@beebob1279]

I'm finding addicted to fishing to be one of my favorite channels when I can't get on the water. I was thinking the fly would win. One thing though. The angle of the camera didn't show a very large lake, but a suspected hatchery pond. Was it? Beautiful breeders in there.

[@Beeswaxi]

My thought exactly. Private lake or stock pond.
