How I retrieve my flies. Catch big trout in all seasons

My favorite retrieve styles for still water trout fishing. In this video, I am fishing lake Thingvallavatn in Iceland. This is a place that is famous for holding big trout. The place I am fishing at is Kárastaðir and I have put up a tripod to fish the same place for the whole evening. This leaves me with few things to try except the retrieve styles. I feel they can be such an important factor in getting the interest from the fish.

Great video Robert. Super clear, well described, and visually supported with the underwater shots of the flies. This will definitely improve my streamer fishing.

Thank you Robert. Cheers Fred

Great to see you back in action robert and what a spectacular place. And good luck in you're new job

[@WSFScotland]

Excellent stuff! It's a super idea to see how your different retrieves impact on the action of the fly so much. 👍👍👍

[@alansandybulmer4877]

Excellent video Robert. Elegantly simple format which makes it so easy to follow. Love your work. Thanks heaps for sharing.

Hey Robert, great video about the effects on different retrieve styles. I tried it out with mix success but it was more a problem of me not going deep enough but I fixed that. Good stuff !

[@castbyjohnflytying]

Great video Robert, and what a finish with that fish. Will definitely be trying these retrieves on the coast here for bass. Tight lines dude💯🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@keeman540]

Coming to iceland for my 3rd time in July! Slowly figuring it out as I come but its hard when I get only a few total hours to stop and cast around family. Hopeful to see more stillwater videos from this incredible place.

Riktigt bra Robban. Grymt pedagogiskt och gav mig inspiration till nästa pass!

[@magnetchi]

Line Master 👌 It is awesome.

Hi Robert, Great work, fun to watch and learn from your videos. Just a beautiful location! Can you tell me which chest pack is you are wearing. I haven't seen anything like that in the states. Thank you.

[@juwright1949]

Absolutely excellent! Thank You.

[@FlyFishingbyRobert]

Glad you like it!

Där har jag stått och nött utan att få nåt. Fast då hade jag förstås inte sett den här videon... 😉

Brilliant Robert thanks...👍

@@FlyFishingbyRobert After all these years and there is a lot I have only recently sparked an interest in the intricasies of streamer fishing.Here where I live in Southern England it is often upstream dry fly only and upstream nymphs from July until the season closes on the rivers.I have pulled lures in the saltwater and Lakes/Reservoirs but penny has dropped there is more to it than just pulling per say.👍

[@krid58]

Hi Robert, what an informative video. Thanks a lot. I am also interested in the chest pack you are wearing. What is it from?

[@FlyFishingbyRobert]

Thank you! Send me a dm on Instagram.

[@ericlong9085]

Fantastic

[@Chad81B]

IM F'N JEALOUS!!!!!!!

[@georgl.2326]

Thanks, Robert. Do Icelanders need a permit for their lakes?

[@stephenbuckley1023]

what is the chest pack that you're using? Is the camera mount built in?

[@akaperry5626]

Hi Robert, very well explained video as always. I have a problem with keeping the right tension in some spot where i fish because of high banks. Do you have any advice for help to keep the right tension in this kind of scenarios?

[@FlyFishingbyRobert]

Thank you! With a high bank it is difficult. One trick can be to use a super heavy fly for better tension. Otherwise is is to look at the line for the strike.

[@akaperry5626]

@@FlyFishingbyRobert I already use quite heavy fly because of fast current in some part and fortunately the water is always quite clear since it's a chalk stream. Thanks for the reply 👍🏻

[@saul78oldrite]

Great video! In the description you've noted that the line you use is 85+ Sink3, but your line on video is yellow/white, while Sink3 are available only in a yellow/black. Are you cheating on us? 🙂

[@FlyFishingbyRobert]

The line is clearly black in the front and yellow behind.

[@SafetDK]

I dobt think hes cheating. I think your eyes are cheating yourself 😅 its litterally black in the video and you see it (i guess not for you) - several times lol

[@saul78oldrite]

@@SafetDK oh yeah man! I've got tricked by the blue backing and I didn't pay much attention to the line color throughout the video! Tak skal du have!;-)
