Hook Sets -- The Differences for Dry Flies, Nymphs, Streamers and Wets

[@colejfishingadventures]

Another great video mate!! Good stuff! I’ve always wanted to try fly fishing! I make fishing videos too and I always love watching yours!! Keep up the awesome job mate!! 🤜🤛💪

[@Troutbitten]

You differentiate between "wet flies" and "nymphs". Aren't these one and the same?

[@lukemorris2888]

Wets typically have a soft hackle collar and they imitate hatching insects. Nymphs are typically imitating the insects prior to them hatching. I like to swing wets vs dead drifting nymphs. It’s dependent on time of bug life cycle but wets are a niche application of imitating that period of bug life when those bugs are emerging into duns. But you are correct in wondering the difference of the two. It can be tough sometimes

[@Troutbitten]

Ah, the lost art of the wet fly. Check out how to swing wets.. There are other ways to present them, jbut ust swinging wets in the traditional way fills a gap in techniques. Cheers..

[@Troutbitten]

Good stuff.

Why people try to complicate things for nymph use a indicator or dry dropper when it disappears strike it’s that easy as the same for the dry fly

[@Troutbitten]

@@Whitecloud706 Well, there are a lot of different levels to the game, Right? Fishing can be as simple as you want it to be. And using your approach is a great idea. Just strike! Good stuff. But for many of us, we've seen too many misses, and we wonder what we can do to improve the hook up ratio. Incorporating these adjustments shown in the video make a big difference. Adjusting to the situation and making those changes is rewarding, because we see results. That's how we approach fishing. That's Troutbitten. It's fun.

Hey now.

[@scottlowe3355]

Appreciate the connections with the casting. Great way to explain it. Thanks Dom! Funny outtakes!

[@Troutbitten]

Cheers

Tried your dorsey indicator today with the materials from your website. How do you get it to not sink as soon as it suspends the flies? No matter how much material is in the rubber band it sinks. Thanks, Nik

[@Troutbitten]

Yikes. Something is wrong there, my friend. A little yarn floats a LOT weight. Heck, you could even test that in a glass.

[@Drkhig]

Never thought about set direction. That makes a lot of sense - thank you for providing great information!

[@Troutbitten]

Right on.

[@LTrain23]

Amazing content and complement to the podcast, thanks Troutbitten crew!

[@Troutbitten]

Cheers. Thanks very much.

[@dommolloy4215]

What rod is that?

[@Troutbitten]

Hardy Marksman 1004. Current favorite.

[@dommolloy4215]

@@Troutbitten Seen you use the ultralite LL. I’m in search of a new rod and read your articles. I live in the uk. Is the Ultralight LL the best all round rod or the marksman.

Fabulous video Dom and Josh. Almost got him there Dom

[@Troutbitten]

Cheers

[@charlesloeffler333]

Thanks for showing a lot of casts with all the drifts and sets. Most videos often dont show the act of fishing so that one can connect their how-to words with the action

[@Troutbitten]

Right on.

[@prolificnorthwest]

Great video! Cheers!
