Understanding trout flies and how to use them

Tim Landwehr and Tight Lines Fly Fishing Company brings you this basic video series on fly fishing 101. Check us out at www.tightlinesflyshop.com to learn more about fly fishing.

[@MrAryindia]

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.

Thank you Sir...

[@lochlainnmacneill2870]

Thank you.

[@MrVen46]

Very helpful video thanks and I want know what is the name of that silicone oil or base??

[@boobookittyfuck3344]

I keep package desiccant I get with different products and open it up and pour it into an old plastic pill bottle. It works just as well.

[@niall441]

You can get a sinking leader to add on the end of the dry line then normal line leader. This will save you putting a whole sinking line on.

[@Gapeh0rn]

6:15 was my fave ;)

[@okgamer7025]

😔

[@footsgrandson]

Can I use a silicon gel (a solid kinda like chap stick) that I already have for floatant?

[@HeathInClearLake]

I've been a saltwater flyfisher for 13 years and I will be fishing for trout in freshwater streams in 4 weeks. So do you just pick whatever fly you like or does situation dictate where you throw a dry or wet?

[@huntingireland894]

i have a question how do you know whats on the river ill look at the rive for half an hour and i see notting great video as well

[@MattC0621]

If you are fishing moving water like a river or stream, you might be making a cast every few seconds. In my opinion, the floatant is less optional than he seems to imply. Granted, you will shake some water off when you back cast, but its good practice, and can't hurt, got get into the habit of putting float on every time.

[@headClock]

Nice

[@neolexington]

Do you have to use sinking line to fish with nymphs or non-floating flies?

[@pueblodsmrs5624]

What's your best flies for October in pueblo co Arkansas river?? thank u

[@Samwellum]

I'm new to file fishing and I kinda want to know how to use these different flies like if I just strait real in or strip in or figure 8 it or whatever it's called

[@johnnybriggs2090]

Hi Tim thank you what is the best floating agent for floating fly’s and also drying agent? Also the glue for the loops what’s the best for loops and glue I see sooo many and different mfrs thanks again Tim need some help thx Johnny.

[@TheRock-xj7hs]

👍👍

[@SuperBandyboy]

is it possible to see differents between a dry fly and another fly?

[@problemsolvingbrad]

you can just dry it after it starts sinking but its a lot easier to ad a spray on waterproof or something along the line

[@visualkeirockstar]

i bought that silicone stuff and the fly still sink. why?

[@rasta619420]

where are you from i used to know some landwehrs

[@nenemannick4455]

A word of warning.......split shot can damage your line if squeezed on too tight.

[@UnsaidLaugh]

bloop.

[@MadGunnerMan]

i've tried that but i've found that it would be easier to put the floatant on it

[@markmathews1640]

6:10 literally! the☺

[@augustor.4200]

Greetings, named the substance smeared on the fly to float etas (do not understand your language) thanks.

[@michaelolsson636]

I just use blended rice and lip balm for floatant

[@danceswithcritters]

I dry my dry flies with a cloth and then whip it around fast with false casts .

[@frostgaming1630]

4:57 bloop

[@saugider]

Add dat floatant!

[@Knightly_Gaming]

drying a fly after every cast is going to get very time consuming and annoying, i personally would recomend the floatant and desecant. i use both. It really helps to keep a fly the fish keep hitting in the game longer instead of having to switch flys beacuse your fly no longer floats, hope this helps!! well its been a year hope you figured it out by now

[@chiapas123456789]

nice video man... very helpful!!! thx.... now go put a bend in it!!!!

[@petejansen8098]

Great info for a noob like me, thanks. Please fix your exit sign, I almost had a seizure. =)

[@dwetick1]

When the trout reject your best ties..try this trick...Tie on a stick about 1.5" in length and let it hit with a splat several feet in front of the fish...You will be surprised how many times the fish will grab it!

[@jonathanworkowski3372]

D Wetick so hows your life been going after u commented this. It’s been 6 years

[@backcast110]

Aaron Rogers?

[@jerimiahmcmahon2017]

You look like Michael from the office

[@drvelocci]

Nobody noticed that ur emergency exit sign is going off

[@MattC0621]

try putting the split shot on above the tippet knot. you won't have to crimp it down so tight because the knot will keep it from sliding down to the fly.

[@chrisjamieson6818]

Is that lead? does he have lead sinkers!?

[@chrisjamieson6818]

In all seriousness.. This was a great video, Thanks.

[@Aaron-ym4bf]

TiGhT LiNeS bRaH

[@robertbrander2074]

Natural insects don't always Float ... sometimes they Sink ... So if your Tied Floating Fly sinks ... isn't it just reflecting Nature ?

[@SuperOlds88]

To get a fly to sink I would rather use a fly that is sparsely tied and tie or purchase flies that are weighted. To each his own, have a nice day.

[@sitbone3]

Here’s a fly that floats..........it seems to be a little sick at the moment.

[@isiahlifts]

i like it but no one can see the baits that clearly. still good tho!!

[@AdrianLParker]

Why is your example of a fly which floats a bug at the bottom of a small vile of clear liquid? that seems to be the opposite of floating.

[@theoriginaljoeschmoe5987]

Adrian Parker Read up on formaldehyde and it's uses.
