SUPER Small Stream Dry Fly Fishing - Bushwhacking and Bow and Arrow Casting - Code Breaker Angler

[@lincolnprojectnemesis3253]

My friend made a few rods back in the 80's for himself. We went on a trip to a small stram with inordinately big fish. Not nearly as tight as what you guys took on, but narrow and brushy just the same. He pulled out a 6' rod he made for his kid. It was the first time I saw the bow and arrow cast. That little rod was deadly accurate and perfect in that situation. Hats off to you for time well spent with your lad!

Sounds like a great adventure! And bow and arrow casting such a finely made 6’ rod must have been a dream! Thanks for sharing that fun memory, and for checking out ours. Cheers!

The take right after the chest pack tidbit was freaking sweet!

[@GilbertRowley]

Right when the fly hit the water! That was one of my favorites from the day as well!

[@glencamblin]

Loved the closing line “turn off your device and head outside”. Another excellent video sir

[@GilbertRowley]

Thank you! That's what we are all about!

[@mikehayes9854]

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this Gilbert!

[@GilbertRowley]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun day for sure!

Great video fellas! Love small stream fishing and there’s nothing better than flinging a dry fly into the perfect spot. To then watch it get instantly inhaled by a wild trout!

[@GilbertRowley]

I couldn’t agree more! Such a good time. One of those days when the size of fish doesn’t matter one bit 😁

[@micahdean1856]

Absolutely Beautiful footage! And great tips!!

[@GilbertRowley]

@@micahdean1856 thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@pauldeaville9735]

Superb footage....as always Gilbert. Thankyou from the UK.😯😉

[@GilbertRowley]

@@pauldeaville9735 very kind, thank you! Hope the fishing in the UK treats you well!

[@ogreoutdoors]

Very fun, nice video.

[@GilbertRowley]

Thank you, we had a great time putting it together!

[@pentafishing]

I'm amazed that there's such a cool way to have fun!

[@GilbertRowley]

A total blast! Being outside is great, being outside catching fish in small water, EVEN BETTER! Thanks for checking it out 👊

[@Browninglover1]

There is something magic about a quick dry fly eat. When a fish eats the fly before the droplets from the fly splatting haven't even returned to the river's surface...it's something special.

[@GilbertRowley]

Well said! Hungry and eager unwilling to let it float more than an inch! Thanks for watching 👍

[@prolificnorthwest]

Great film! Love the small stream stuff.

[@GilbertRowley]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun day for sure!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Awesome video

[@GilbertRowley]

Thanks man! We had a great time out there making it 👊

[@scottmacdonald9269]

Nice! needed a fun video to just keep everyone excited to get out there. 👍

[@GilbertRowley]

Thanks! That’s exactly what we’re hoping for 👊

[@ryantherock7664]

Great video Gilbert…what rods length/weight were you and your son using here?

[@GilbertRowley]

Thanks Ryan! We were fishing a 9’ 4wt. A shorter rod between, something between 7-8 feet would have worked well also.

[@AirgyroAviation]

That was fun to watch with my son. We enjoy fishing together too! Very cool video. Nice job!

[@blueridgeflyguy9551]

Gilbert, loved the video...has me jonesing for my beloved Virginia mountain streams in the spring. Are you and your son using the 10' 2wts? I love that Umpqua chest pack too. I keep buying other packs and coming back to it

[@GilbertRowley]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! We were fishing a 9' 4wt on this little stream. Works great, especially since we are used to fishing much longer rods most of the time. I hope this Spring the fishing there treats you well!

[@gldead3741]

Great video ! What kind of net do you use and what kind of attachment do you use ?

[@GilbertRowley]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I use a Frabil net , and a Gear Keeper heavy duty retractor. It's a great setup! Net: collabs.shop/w6kpql Retractor: tacticalflyfisher.com/products/gear-keeper-net-retractor?sca_ref=6033339.bFP70fhFSs
