Where Was You’re Orange Vest
Excellent intro tutorial. What model is that great tackle satchel you’re using?
Thanks! It is my Simms XL sling pack
CrossBow and arrow
Niiiiiiice!
It could have been a meteorite. I didn't hear a shot, so I don't think it was a gun. You would easily hear a gun echo out there.
Were you on a reservation?
Where’s your orange vest dude?
Yep, you Americans can keep your guns, 😮 i prefer our Aussie gun laws. FAAARRKK.
I'm guessing that was like 100 or so yards away??? 😮
Glad you're okay. All of the crazies have crawled out from under their rocks and stocked up on killing machines
Hate it when you have a really light line then the biggest fucking fish of your life decides to take it
Basics or not, Dan, I enjoy watching your channel and wish you the BEST. ☮from North Idaho
I appreciate that!
That's horrible
WOW !
Please tell me you can report this. Life threatening...
Good video. Ty.
You bet!
How big and how heavy is the streamer you used in the video? Thanks for the info. Tight lines.
I used a series of streamers - mostly the larger sized sculpzilla fly in olive, I also caught a fish on the upstream cast using a smaller jig streamer (also in olive and weighted). The sculpzilla is very heavy - pick up and lay down cast recommended for the fly...the jig streamer is quite a bit lighter (but still weighted) and can be cast traditionally.
Thanks awesome video..
Thanks - appreciate that
Also what brand ?
I am using my own fly rod that I designed and is custom built (moderate fast action parabolic power taper blank) The fly line is Cortland's Finesse Trout II. Both can be found on my website at fishonrods.com/
Hello question what line size do you using right now ?
I had this rod paired with Cortland's Finesse Trout II in 6wt (weight forward).
Hmmm, a MOP.... Mark must have been here!!!!
LOL!
US citizens really have a weird way of saying hi
I love streamers especially on trout spey. But more than that I love the heart attack of enthusiasm you have for every fish. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Sometimes I watch myself back and laugh a little - I certainly get ramped up! Lol
I have this small stream near where I live with Australian Bass in it. I have caught 4 total since January and I am there all the time. Now I see this video you getting them left right and center haha. Maybe there just isn't many fish where I go.
That's awesome, hello from across the Atlantic! Often I am targeting under water rocks and ledges where I know they are hiding :))
Beautiful cast!
Thanks!
Nice lil salmon you got there 😂
No kidding!
Bought a aquaglide and it paddles like a big balloon, was not fun. Returned it
I am sorry to hear about that! I think many kayaks that don't have an active rudders can be tough to navigate when fishing.
Great video! I started 29 years ago but never tried to teach anyone to cast until about 5 years ago when my nephews started fishing with me. Vids like this help me tremendously with teaching them. Watching them learn and improve is one of the best things in the world. I feel like I am a better caster because of it too.
That's awesome - I have grown myself since really digging in to teaching. The biggest takeaway for me is that there isn't an exact science to it...each person will adapt things into their own style and still manage to catch fish :))
@@FlyFishDan So very true. I try to keep it light and not stand behind them and critique. Give them some pointers and let them fish. We've been having an absolute blast. I'm headed to Idaho today to meet them and chase some cutties! I'll be watching this video with them tomorrow.
There are people that plan it out to make close call shots at people
I usually imitate a lizard hugging a warm rock when I hear the twang. Then I let off three quick rounds out of my carry piece. But that's me. 😊
Excellent video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you ever dead the streamer on a tight line? If so, do you think that it imitates a dead/injured minnow or maybe a leech? I have tried this technique several times, but with no luck on the rivers here in CO. So I just go back to swinging them. I have never really fished streamers until this year when I decided to try it during spring runoff. All I can say is that I am hooked!
I have - under an indicator. I find the most strikes happen when the streamer is moving/darting vs. dead drift
That's why only the police and army should have guns.
New to fly fishing, myself. Only about a week and a couple days in. But as far as casting really goes, I can get about a good 40 feet nice and straight and did discover that most times, less is really more. I've been fishing rod and reel my whole life so I had to get over trying to "whip it". Funny enough, as much as my fly fishing friend amazes me with his ability, I amaze him with my abilty to basically be a sniper with my baitcaster lol. Yin yang opposite ends of the table, but we all meet in the middle with some good fishin' ! Thanks for your videos, they're a great help!
You'll get there (sniper mode) with the fly rod soon - then you'll be unstoppable! :))
@FlyFishDan I can see it, and I truly fell in love with it the first time I saw that line go nice and tight and launch right out... resulted in a almost 1lb bluegill lol. (I cheated, I manage a hatchery lol). And today had my first approx 50 footer and got a nice 14 inch rainbow. I shall soon master the ways of the fish (star wars? Lol) ! Thanks again! And keep the videos coming!
Happiness is contagious when people share the same passions. Well played! 😊
I would've immediately ducked and took cover 😮
Many nuances to an efficient cast, thanks for sharing FF Dan.
You bet!
Squatchie got a hold of a rifle with a silencer
Love it
Just bought my first little kit. Thanks for the tips brotha subbed.
You bet and welcome to my channel!

Where are you located/ Im in vancouver wa and would love to join you sometime.
Thanks! I appreciate that - I am a few hours north of you. Thank you for being a part of my channel! Cheers and FISH-ON!!
Gotta wear bright orange so the idiots dont mistake you for deer
Thank you Dan for the tips 🎣🩵
You bet!
Thank you! Many tutorials say, do not move your wrist at all. I think maybe a little movement is okay and it’s personal preference. Again, thank you for not being so strict!
What I have found; there's no exact/precise way to cast. Many have different techniques that work for them, I have found that a slight wrist movement helps to load (bend) the rod during the casting stroke. This stored energy is then released (unloaded) as you stop the rod abruptly, which propels the line forward or backward. Without this slight wrist movement, the rod wouldn't bend properly, reducing casting efficiency.
I think a lot of people teach that because when someone picks up a fly rod for the first time ever they cast with their wrist completely instead of elbow. You can’t effectively cast with your wrist limp so it is easier to teach lock your wrist to get the fundamentals then once you figure out what you are doing you can adjust. Just like keeping the rod in a straight line it doesn’t work when throwing big heavy streamers you need to draw a sort of d shape. The one set in stone rule about fly fishing is there is exceptions to every rule
Well said!
Keeping it simple with Dan! Less than 4 minutes to not only explain but demonstrate techniques that others turn into a saga. Encouraging folks to experiment after being instructed on the basics will make us all better on the water.
Well said and appreciate the comments! Cheers and FISH-ON!!
I can confirm that i do in fact dream about this
Good stuff :))
Yeah, heard that before...in Iraq. lol
They want you off their property.
