How to Pick the Right Fly Fishing Flies | Module 5, Section 2

[@ItsBigTexYall]

I normally get annoyed with cheesy intros wishing people would just get to the point of the video already, but c'mon, this one was freakin good. LOL!

[@paulhepfer8155]

Agree 100%

[@cavpaulmuller]

Great channel. I turned my son who is brand new at fly fishing, to your guys. What i like is you dont take yourselves too serious...fun and informative. Plm

[@venturesflyco]

Awesome! That’s our goal. Make fly fishing fun for everyone. 😎👍🏽

[@nolangosse6510]

I just go a fly rod and these videos have helped me so much thank you

[@venturesflyco]

Stoked to hear it. Thanks so much for the feedback. Glad you are enjoying them.

[@micahdean1856]

This is why you guys rock! You didn't have to have the whole scene with the latin fly name stuff, but it just makes the video that much better!

[@venturesflyco]

Haha we had some fun with it. Appreciate the feedback Micah. Glad you enjoyed!

[@markkirkby1358]

Well done! You two did a terrific job of giving us accurate visual aids to clarify size/shape/color. Thanks for breaking it down and not listening to that pompous trout snob at the beginning of the video. Keep it up!

[@venturesflyco]

😂 Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback!

[@daveschlom4033]

I love this. "Learning the bugs" had been the most daunting aspect of fly fishing for me. I am finally starting to observe hatches. The mystery of matching the hatch has ME hooked! Thank you and Happiest of Holidays to you both.

[@venturesflyco]

Very cool. Let us know how it goes out there on the water. Happy holidays Dave!

[@daveschlom4033]

@@venturesflyco Got my Ultimate fly boxes from you yesterday. Awesome.

[@justal4844]

First video - thanks KZbin. Loved the intro and wish I would have discovered you when I was beginning. And remember as the ladies say... "size matters" 😉🎣. ☮ from Idaho.

[@venturesflyco]

😂 Glad you enjoyed it! 😎🤙🏽

[@rrtownsend7148]

Very informative video. I've been fishing for over 65 years and I've found that I never get too old to learn. Thanks...

[@venturesflyco]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for letting us know. 😎🤙🏽

[@CharlieFoxtrot504]

Absolutely the best series / channel I have found. Clear, logical and entertainingly presented. Videos are perfect length as well. I floundered (pun intended) around with a lot of other channels, including some big name ones, and this is by far the best. I have learned so much as a noob. Truly lives up to the name master class

[@venturesflyco]

Can’t tell you how stoked we are to get this kind of feedback. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Glad you’re enjoying the series. 😎🤙🏽

[@sassonafshari3619]

That intro is perfect. That’s how I feel as a beginner! Glad I’m not the only one and it’s a common thing.

[@berkler1422]

Great video guys! Everyone keeps getting better and better.

[@venturesflyco]

😎🤙🏽

[@GiammiDinDonDero]

First rule of flyfishing: go fishing where there are fishes. 😂 Great channel guys, thx for sharing important suggestions with the right mood. Appreciated and subscribed, greetings from Italy.

[@venturesflyco]

😎🤙🏽

[@loganklein1646]

Love the intro. That was sick! Your intros are short, funny, and get the point across really well! Great job. I am learning so much from you guys!

[@venturesflyco]

Haha glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. 😎🤙🏽

[@humphrey4976]

I just got into fly fishing and knew absolutely nothing about it. Your videos are outstanding. Thanks so much.

[@nsideoutn8439]

Definitely want to buy some gear for my appreciation for such good videos! Where can I get some sweet gear?? I do need a new jacket. Never mind, just ordered your 40 piece fly collection. Thanks for all the good info

[@venturesflyco]

Haha. Glad you’re enjoying them! Hope to have some cool merch out this summer. 😎🤙🏽

[@Gabagool93]

You guys are absolute rock stars

[@bobmatuzak2263]

Man, great stuff guys. Thanks!

[@venturesflyco]

You’re welcome! Thanks for the kind feedback.

[@The_Striper_Hunt]

Watched these videos for a week and went out the the first time and only caught 1 fish in 5 hrs, and today was my second time ever fly fishing, and I absolutely crushed. I truly lost count of how many bows and brookies I caught. Thank you for the great informative content👍

[@venturesflyco]

That's fantastic! We're pumped you for!

[@joec33]

Great video as usual, thanks for taking the time to make these instructional videos

[@paulmundy6608]

Bravo ! On the video and the content!!!!

[@venturesflyco]

Appreciate it. Thanks so much for the kind feedback!

[@kenb4685]

Great video guys, fantastic content. Thanks.

[@venturesflyco]

Appreciate it Ken! Thanks for the feedback.

[@matteorottigni1744]

Great video guys, thank you!

[@diomedeslajara]

amzing master course!! binge worthy haha

[@FD-dh2fu]

These guys are the best. Love it!

[@shad3128]

Ive actually had the most success on rivers especially with high pressure using random flies with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes fish just like seeing different stuff! Thats why I like tying random, fun things. Love this video.

[@Hfled2]

Your videos are really well done! I’m forty some odd and have been fishing all my life, but I love to watch fishing videos to see what else I can learn. I’ve definitely learned a few things from yours!

[@naksicat]

Wow, it's great video for me! Thanks!

[@venturesflyco]

😎🤙🏽

[@jkarasta1]

Thanks for all this info and how well done it is.

[@venturesflyco]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeffenglishsetter8339]

Had to look up your location because you are spot on as if you were fishing northern Michigan.

[@datboiya8942]

Got my first fly rod 4 days ago and Ive been out for several hours every day since. Your videos have been extremely helpful for me to learn and I appreciate it so much Thank you

[@venturesflyco]

Fantastic on getting your rod! Get out there and catch some fish! Thanks!

[@brianfeeney9493]

I truly enjoy Your Tutorials 🎉 Concise and educational for the Newbie like Mebie 🎉 🌟🎣💫

[@venturesflyco]

Glad you are enjoying them!!

[@jeeprayz1]

Thanks for all of the great info. I hadn’t picked up a fly rod in nearly 30 years. Since then the tail waters on the South Holston River here in East Tennessee have exploded with anglers. The trout have become super picky.

[@venturesflyco]

Let us know how it goes out there on the water!

[@victorrea7562]

Love the videos, great content & good humour as well. As a new comer to fly fishing the videos have given me a better understanding to a great sport and a start to fly tying.

[@venturesflyco]

Thanks so much for the kind feedback! Stoked to hear that you’re enjoying the videos and that you’ve found them helpful. 😎👍🏽

[@sheikh_farhad]

Really good video. The links don't seem to work for the downloadable book. Can you check on those? Thanks.

[@venturesflyco]

I double checked them and they seem to be working. Not sure what happened. Try them again?

[@timothytapio4252]

what are those hoodies you wear? Warm? I'm old and don't like cold but I don't like bulk. Could you share that info? I'm gonna have to watch this video multiple times but it is the best one I have seen. Great job!

[@venturesflyco]

They are Free Fly hoodies. They are nice for semi-cold days or a base layer. Not super warm for winter days. Their new fleece hoodies are pretty good too. Glad you enjoyed the video. 😎🤙🏽

[@timothytapio4252]

enjoying them all...take state class in fly tying end of next month, then "stuff" gets serious..

[@kunaiwithchain5278]

Aren’t those midge patterns too big? I remember in my freshwater ecology class that we had to filter them out with a 100 micrometer mesh for the larva

[@venturesflyco]

Midges are tiny. But lucky for us the fish aren't as discerning as a 100 micrometer mesh net. haha

[@ItsBigTexYall]

What is the song playing starting at 10:05 ? Pretty groovy little jam.

[@theromanorder]

Notes, midge flys imitated babys in the water, wet flys imitate a fly coming to the serfuce, so move it around to look alive, dry flies are flys leaving or aproching the water and sit on top, Find a fly the same size and color to the flys and bugs around your fishing, most important is size,

[@venturesflyco]

You nailed it! Thanks for the great insights. 😎🤙🏽

[@SamRayJr]

BEGINNER FLY FISHING

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

how to pick the right fly: Find one that nobody else is using, and make it smaller. -Provo River logic.

[@andyyun1162]

Not a bad tip…

[@christianherrington1456]

Did it look like u had an indicator on?

[@BarryBianculli]

Hey Spencer - what brand/model chest pack is that you’re sportin’ on this video?

[@venturesflyco]

Just the Orvis chest pack. I switched to chest packs a while ago because they're better for my back pain than slings/vests.

[@1121cisco]

It seems the perfect fly isn't always perfect lol. Why do some flies attract a certain type of trout. I have some flies that will catch rainbows but not browns some that will only catch browns and some that will catch both. Rio Grande cutthroats in the small streams seem to eat anything. Why ?

[@venturesflyco]

Might be where they are hanging out in the water column (maybe the Rainbows are closer to the top and Browns near the bottom). Could be how opportunistic they are (Cutties are usually more likely to smack dries in our experience). Lots of factors (water temps, clarity, bug activity, etc) so it’s hard to say. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@NomenClature-o8s]

Insects, not bugs. 😂 Sorry, I had to.
