Glad to see bass guys trying fly fishing, I'll spin fish for bass every once and a while but having a large mouth or big trout smash a fly is so much exciting. One thing that would have helped in this situation is either a sink tip or full sink running line to get you streamer down and keep it in the strike zone while you strip it back fast.

[@andrewingram2520]

I primarily fly fish but I do it for LMB instead of trout. One of my favorite things

[@user-xy6cf6cs7t]

Nice job. A few tips. - get a stripping basket or may to help with tangles and keep line from hanging up in other gear. - stretch your line to help with the tangles - get a full intermediate or sink tip 3, 5 or 7 line. Try an Rio OBS or SA Sonar or similar. You should be able to shoot 70+ feet of line with minimal false casts (2-3 at most). - try the two handed stripping method if they want it fast common easy technique used often in saltwater (I use it for coho in saltwater all the time). - if they fish are being nippy consider stinger hooks. Stinger clousers are common. Pretty much and streamer can be tied with them. - Try a gurgler or similar pattern for topwater. In that situation, most anything will work (as the hopper did) but a true gurgler or even small popper will give you better action fished moving on top than a hopper will.

[@snowfreak551]

Consider a stinger hook if the fish are being nippy? Thats called snagging fish boss lol

[@Silocky]

12:34 is just pure Jon B. I love how Kayleigh is just laughing the entire time. Nice fish Jon

[@strydershadow391]

When a woman untangles your fly line Jon, that is a sign of true love. Great video keep up the fly it's addicting.

[@willdyer9797]

You went through a stage in the past where you fly fished a lot and I loved it. As primarily a fly fisherman you are the only real spinning angler I watch so it’s super sick to see you on the fly 🔥

[@LifeOn_TheFly]

I’d agree 100% best of the googan squad

[@flowerchild496]

This was a great beginners kit for a great price. kzbin.infoUgkxKRURvLsu9Vvyw7gIuvt8FsApoQNCdz-1 Its given us a huge variety to test out and see what works well and what we like to use. Majority of the flies have stayed together well, but some of the rainbow warriors did unravel after catching a few blue gill. All in all, this was a great kit and are so happy with the purchase and value for money.

[@MainelyOutDoors]

Careful the fly rod can be pretty addictive! Hit some rivers up here next spring with it. you’ll have some great luck then as well with landlocks and brook trout

[@maritimeus]

Jesse, you should tell Jon that you’re kinda a big deal with your own KZbin channel. 17K subs to 1.5M subs! 😂

[@benwyman2870]

You guys should try and fish together !

[@maritimeus]

@@s.pepper1833 Okay okay bubba. Why not publicize how Maine is awesome?! You realize that people from away spend their money to fish/hunt/camp/vacation here, right? Their outside money pays for the baby makers in this state, fishing licenses to stock our waters, and programs for my kids to get into fishing? Rant all you want, but people come here for the outdoors. If they film it and post it, all the better to advertise that Maine's pretty cool. You gettin' butt hurt by too many folks ending up at your fishin' hole? Stuff happens bub. Matter of fact. Find a new KZbin channel about underwater basket weaving if you don't like folks filming their fishing adventures up here.

[@maritimeus]

@@s.pepper1833 Boo, your posts stink. Go grabass somewhere else. Haters gonna hate

[@s.pepper1833]

You are right.

[@SmallMTNShredder]

You gotta give fly fishing moving water a try, it becomes so much more fun once you can read the river and see feeding lanes also fighting the fish with the reel instead of stripping line will keep you out of a ton on tangles

[@coolgroupify]

depends on size of the fish whether you want to fight with a reel or stripping and i defnitely agree i live in montana and the lake fishing is obviously good but nothing like working river or creek hitting all the pockets and theres defnitely no shortage of creeks in Maine they just may be closed during this season

[@Nik-gh6gz]

honestly stillwater is a lot more fun most times because the fishing is easier and you catch more fish. Also techniques are more applicable between different bodies of water, so it takes less time to learn to catch fish at each place. Also open water casting is a lot easier than on rivers

[@buttbutter]

@@Nik-gh6gz But the moving water fights are so much better!

[@user-xy6cf6cs7t]

No need to fight those fish on a reel. In fact, you’ll lose more fish trying to get it on the reel. Fish should earn the reel. Trout almost never will.

[@SmallMTNShredder]

@@user-xy6cf6cs7t if the fish aren’t getting to the real you’re using way too heavy of a rod IMO, there’s a reason modern reels have clutch drag systems

[@destinhavens2211]

[@alaskangirl7675]

Can’t wait to get home to watch this. Fly fishing is so fun! I love fly fishing for salmon.

[@ryanparkos3249]

Great job, i learned in Texas fly fishing for red fish to use more of your full forearm instead of flicking your wrist. Gets much better cast and distance. Love the videos!

[@HankTheTank123]

Ayyy we back with another Maine video, can we get some more fly fishing vids? my favorite type of vids! tip: when you set the hook on a fly rod on Stillwater strip it in don't jerk the rod at all to maximize your chances of hooking them and landing them

[@thomasgallo7271]

I highly recommend the Outbound Short series fly lines from Rio if you are fishing streamers. It takes way fewer false casts to get distance. The one I prefer is called the "hover" line which is an intermediate sink rate but the running line still floats so you can see where the line is and only the front sinks. For a 5wt it would be labeled as WF5F/H/I for example.

[@j.brock3]

Jon, stretch your fly line before fishing to reduce the tangling you had! Also just keep stripping the line until the fish pulls back (w/streamers)

[@reelfishermen]

Or just make sure you get a better line. Line is the most important part on a fly rod. Don’t buy cheap!

[@j.brock3]

@@reelfishermen Agree with that as well! The one place you don't cheap on your fly fishing outfit is your line

[@reelfishermen]

@@j.brock3 for all my 17,fly rods I own. I only use Rio products. Rio gold for all my floating line. It’s about $110.00 🇨🇦 before taxes.

[@j.brock3]

@@reelfishermen Not huge on Rio since they switched to the In-Touch core on some of their high end lines, but it's all personnel preference! I've ran through 3 rio lines in a season fishing from my boat where the coating fell off on the head of the line (This was 4 or 5 years ago). Rio replaced all without question and said it could've been a bad batch of the coating material. Regardless, I switched to SA Titan lines for streamer fishing, and SA Amplitude for nymphs and dries. Haven't looked back since!

[@reelfishermen]

@@j.brock3 ya I run the “in-touch” black box for all my dry lines. What I do after each season using the lines in salt water, I clean the lines. Two buckets. One with soapy hot water snd the other with hot water. I use a mitt to drag the soapy line through it and out into the bucket of hot water. Keeps the line from rotting away. I’ve had my Rio gold in tough fly lines last me years by doing that method. Try it.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

More fly fishing please Jon - you've got some incredible opportunities over there! Maybe even the next tour could be a fly fishing tour 🤷‍♂️🎣

[@SUflyfshn-YT]

Been watching for 5-6 years, and every time I see you use a fly rod, I know either I’m gonna be really excited, or wish I could talk to you through the screen. Either or, always entertaining and hope you do more fly fishing videos.

[@bennettbassin2269]

Caught my PB yesterday and a Jon B video today. Great start to the week!

[@anthonydevillets3998]

When it becomes ice fishing season check out Indian hill ice traps , Worcester Massachusetts the catch biggens

[@chrisanderson9856]

Jon when you're fly fishing and all the line is at your feet possibly in loops and knots wind up some line to avoid the snarls you had to untie. It will help keep your fly in the water longer. As for Splake I've been catching them around Ely, MN for years. Some were 16 plus inches and were awesome to catch.

[@kevinjehl5529]

Nice to see some footage with the fly rod. An epic little series would be getting outfitted, then practicing some fly casting (maybe legit lessons) and then going flats fishing for bonefish/permit or tarpon. it would be how someone would practice shooting a bow and arrow prepping for a big hunt. It would be neat to watch the progression from inception to success. Anyway, great video.

[@aidenstephenson2405]

yesssssssssss more fly fishing content love to see it.

[@stonefly69]

Good to see you fly-fishing, John. Some thoughts: 1. Stripping baskets can really help keep your line organized. Check them out. 2. Trout are much more delicate than bass and pan fish. Bass are an ancient species and very hardy, trout are not. When you handle trout you remove part of their protective slime; slime which keeps them healthy. Try a device like a Ketchum Release and you can release the fly and the fish without ever touching it, thereby increasing its likelihood of survival. 3. Wear a hat with a wide brim. It protects your head and ears from errant casts!! 4. If you are missing hook sets, sharpen your hook. Tight lines!!! PS...it is a dry fly....

[@rockfly8384]

Hell yeah, definitely want to see more fly fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@blakeruhs1167]

I love when you use the fly pole. I have the pleasure of living in south Texas and I get to catch a hole but ton of reds and drum.

[@JacobSimpson]

I'm so glad you did this! I love fly fishing! And I have to agree with you Brook trout are beautiful fish. You should do more fly fishing, maybe get a 7/8 weight and chase some bass! Largemouth bass are so fun to fly fish for, especially with topwater.

[@Badfish277]

Epic Buggy Whippin session! Love fly fishing for Trout! Go somewhere that has big Browns and saddle up for the ride!

[@WoodenFishh]

As someone who goes fly fishing 4 days a week on average, I've gotta say you have really solid mechanics. When the wind is coming at you like that, instead of casting across your chest, just turn your feet 180 degres away from the fish and shoot line on your back cast. This way the fly gets blown away from you, and you can still watch what you're doing by looking over your shoulder without switching hands or catching hooks

[@terrylecroy9964]

Keep trying Jon. I've been fly fishing for more than 50 years now. It's my favorite way to fish. Brook trout is my favorite fish to chase with a bright streamer. Hell I'd like to take you to one of my favorite lakes for brooktrout. The average bt is 5-8 lbs with that occasional 10 plus pounder.

[@axkmster]

Well then you must live in Labrador or somewhere in Canada..Not many places in the world where the brook trout average 5 to 8 lbs..

[@ninjarider84]

She's definitely a keeper... willing to untangle your fishing line 👌 I love fly fishing, even the small ones feel big sometimes. And as a tip, try the 10-2 method of casting, like the River Runs Through It movie showed, it will cut down on knots in your line, the harder you snap the line the more chance you have at getting knots.

[@turnbecks]

Please Jon, come out to Arkansas and do a series fly fishing the white for big browns and rainbows

Yo Jon! By the way, Splake can in fact breed naturally with the brookies. Splake are a mix of Lake trout and Brook trout which are both technically in the Char family so they are good to go

[@nateingersoll4924]

They actually can't reproduce. Same concept as Horses and donkeys being both being equines and producing sterile mules.
