Glad you had fun! You can also fly fish for Bluegill, Crappie, Bass, pretty much any fish that live in 2-4 foot deep water. The reel can be used to reel in the fish, but you can do what you were doing. There are different lines (Sink tip, Intermediate sink, and full sink ) to go deeper. If you are going to have more fun than this, check with your doctor first!
keep the fish in the water… it is choking being held up like that… and debarb your hook, it will make it easier to remove the hook. (licenced guide and instructor)
What is the reel for ? There are two schools of thought . 1 : European style , the reel is just for storing the line and nothing more , fish are played from the hands . 2: American style . Wind in loose line once fish is hooked and play the fish from the reel .
I play fish from the hands it's a personal choice , I like the feel of the fight through line and rod without any mechanical interference .
Fly fishing only streams are a disgusting concept that should be illegal. There's no such thing as a spin rod only stream, why? Because the vast majority of fly fishermen are upper class suburban dads who know people in politics that allow these fly fishing only streams to happen. Ya this guy probably isn't a suburban dad but he's the exception. Your regular Joe that fishes with his spin rod and catches his limit should be allowed to fish these streams. I wish there were spin rod only streams so I wouldn't have to be lectured by some suburban dad with a $1500 rod wearing the whole Cabela's fly fishing aisle for actually catching and keeping trout and hear a speech on "catch and release" and that using lures and powerbait ruins it for fly fishermen.
The first fish I caught on a fly rod was a 5 pound catch fish on a six weight rod who rose to take my fly out of some fallen leaves freaked me out , one I did not know that catfish would rise and I did not know a catch fish would take a top water fly– and yeah it was a fight, Great job it is addictive
First fish I ever caught on a fly rod was a rainbow as well. Maybe a bit smaller than the one you caught. I was hooked from then on. Smallmouth are my personal favorite species. Get yourself some poppers and a few crayfish patterns and go to town. Tips: stripping line in is perfectly fine to do. I never use the reel to fight fish unless I’m going for large fish such as big largemouth or pike.
First of all you filmed an event. It was quite good and you were a humble fly fisherman, don't ever change from that. I'm sure you have advanced much from this experience . You performed exceptionally well and your control of the rod/ line really floored me. Well done and thanks for the video, your the guy we would all be proud to fish with. And lastly, your hooked.
Good job! When you are fighting fish try to use your real when you catch bigger ones, when you fight the fish one your real let the fish run when it wants to run, that is my favorite part of fly fishing
haha you keep saying you don't know what you're doing but you're fly fishing almost perfectly by the end of the video. Only thing you messed up on was not bringing a net. You should always bring a net fly fishing
Hey man I'm from the same area as you and UK just started fly fishing could you give me some pointers some time or any good spots around the dover area
Dude I learned this with a vintage spun fiberglass kit from a JCPenney in 1978. Still have the real. I've caught trout bluegill bass crappie and even a walleye on a black gnat. Fly-fishing is a blast and more versatile than most think!
the cast comes from the load of the tip. once you back cast, around as soon as your fly line passes just about all the way behind you, load your tip and cast forward. more wrist snapping action than using your whoe arm. good job first time
One hook up, you are hooked. My first cast was 20 years go. Still makes me smile like the 1st day. i dont need to even catch a trout or fish to enjoy it anymore.
Wassup Tj hunt

you're not holding your mouth right!
your not using the right line.

I could never go back to a spinning rod.
Dude don't put the trout back lol, keep the trout and cook it up they taste great. Eat them what's why they stock them in the first place lol.

You are throwing with your wrist. You gotta throw with your underarm
Did the hook set hurt anyone else inside when he hooked it like a bass 😂
Your first ever cast hurts to the soul of a flier angler😹 good job eventually anyway
Don’t like flick your wrist when you cast keep a straight arm
It takes time mate

Great vid!
I caught my first fly fish on a bead head hairs ear
Yooo I’m in Delaware I need help on catching these fuckers
Bullshit
Pull the fish in like you’ve been doing, the reel is reserved to reel up extra line or for larger fish. You did well for a first timer!
When he started catching the trout I’m like “ there is a reel for a reason not your hand “
I don’t know anything about fly fishing but why is he pulling in the fish with the string by hand when there is a reel on the rod
I'm in the same thing right now going out tomorrow. Thanks for the video fun to watch bro
After you set the hook on the fish you real in fly line and fish ok
haha you keep saying you don't know what you're doing but you're fly fishing almost perfectly by the end of the video. Only thing you messed up on was not bringing a net. You should always bring a net fly fishing
Let em fight alittle more bro, but great stuff. Up in ohio our steelhead get pretty big so having a reel with drag is extremely helpful
Hey man I'm from the same area as you and UK just started fly fishing could you give me some pointers some time or any good spots around the dover area
so much damn cuts!
I love trout fishing but I don’t know if I can get down with fly fishing. Not reeling just seems odd to me.
Them fish dont stand a chance all up and down that creek people fishing

thank you fir wetting hands before handling trout. up here in Maine we are serious about proper handling. good job
double fly method is good early spring. tie a nymph with a streamer or bugger about 8 inches above that.
the cast comes from the load of the tip. once you back cast, around as soon as your fly line passes just about all the way behind you, load your tip and cast forward. more wrist snapping action than using your whoe arm. good job first time
