Yeah, I used a 7wt and that was overkill. I lost a lot of fish. I always go in the summer. Bunny hair leech and cartoon fly works amazing! Some of the best fishing ever!
Why don't you try fishing without the signal? the line will be lighter. maybe you can make the tippet of different colors to see the depth of the bait … Great video and nice place
McFly, it is catch and release only in the Quality Waters, at 11:56 you said "I started catching and keeping fish" so I know that you meant keeping them until they were netted but some one unfarmilar with the rules might think you were literally taking them, so watch those words that give some a misleading statement, also wet your hands well before handling them, the dry human hand grasping the fish will remove a protective coating on the outside of the fish body. Good work on the video and you are selecting the correct fly for that place and time,,,,good job sport!
To bad it was not a wild trout, San Juan River, New Mexico is a fisherman's trap, and the biggest hidden one! Your fishing a hatchery built by the state's biggest ideal of lies to the world and a trap for tourists for their money, fish are extremely lazy, fish do not have much freedom, 80,000 fish shoved into one little area with major rules for your dollars with or without guides to lie and steal your money, little sporting in this trap when fish are dead in natural resources, fish will not even breed in these conditions meaning nothing but stocked fish with sickness and disease and the bad health from the over charging conditions keeping them all contained like prisoners, their is no spawning on the San Juan River, All this is kept from the public, one of the biggest state river lies of hiding the truth in the world of lazy dead big unhealthy trout. Just try to catch one below or west of Bloomfield, NM and you'll know the truth of containment for the millions of dollars made off your bought fish, not to be a fighter of wild trout when the resources are abundance below Bloomfield to produce the biggest lunker's alive, and fighting and spawning, to be a real sport instead of no fish at all, not one fish, down stream, sorry for being so negative when speaking the facts on San Juan River's none sporting bought Trout! Good sport fishing elsewhere to be close to world famous credited!
Nice video Mcfly, like the tunes too! Please keep them coming. Ignore the trolls, they likely cannot even false cast, and would not know a good trailing loop if one hit them in the back of the head.
A few years ago the midge hatch on the Bighorn was so heavy that you could not distinguish your fly from the naturals. That night after cooking supper I tied a #22 different midge emerger (my own pattern) and the next day two of us had strikes on every cast (did not get constant hook-ups because of the small hook) for an hour until the hatch ended.
Pretty Cool McFly I will be fishing the San Juan river Christmas week with Wes from Reel Life in Santa Fe. I caught a rainbow trout last week on the Pecos river fly fishing. Nice video I only catch and relese on my videos.
Guys chill he's doing what he loves, I've been fly fishing for a year and I've yet to land a fish, let him love his life and the more he does it the better he will get
Do you use a 5 weight as I am now looking for my first fly rod that can handle casting the tiny midge larvae on the san juan, size 16-18 hares ears for the pecos, attractor patterns for rio costilla, and the good old woolly bugger.
This is one of the best flyfishing videos I’ve seen! Nice to see that pros also can make a mistake sometimes. Beautiful scenery and great entertainment. From now on I’m a subscriber. Thanks!
ya move around more, especially in that main channel there! step off in that 10 foot hole and drown or if your lucky sprain an ankle on those sandstone rocks that go from a foot deep to 3 feet deep! 🙂 Love your vids keep em coming.
I've seen quite a few videos can you have put together and I have to say I'm a fan and you have an act for it. I have to admit I'm pretty jealous you're surrounded up there by all that great trout fishing. And I'm tied down here in Oklahoma. Keep up the good work and I hope to be up around your neck of the woods someday wadng them streams and catching them trout. Oklahoma does have a really good trout stream in Southeastern Oklahoma Beavers Bend on Broken Bow Lake or below the dam, they built it and introduce the trout and the trout have taken over and run a spawn. You should give it a try sometime
Gosh darnit you have for to be the worst fly fishermen I have ever seen by far!!! Just messin bro you worked out the kinks and landed some lovely bows and browns I snapped off two nice ones still water fly fishing my self the drags there for a reason l learned that too.

If you don’t make mistakes you are not learning.
I was raised on the Juan…get a longer bigger net.😂
Wish I could have my hook bend instead of loosing my fly

Great video and nice place
@mcflyangler, do you switch your leader and tipper to a larger size when you go from a nymph or light dry to streamers?
I think you should’ve queued up yakety sax song for your video 😂
Remind me not to buy that fly reel you have. Maybe get a longer net also.
HaHa you are like watching a cartoon show !
Your music selections are terrible

Dude! Awesome, hilarious!
Good video but terrible music 👍🏼
RIP Abe
What midges were you using?
I'm not familiar with the San Juan River, I would have appreciated a map link be included in your notes – thanks.
Good job man! Looks cold
Nice video Mcfly, like the tunes too! Please keep them coming. Ignore the trolls, they likely cannot even false cast, and would not know a good trailing loop if one hit them in the back of the head.
wonders of wonders an honest fisherman.
