For folks who don't know – the reason the water bobber is preferred over the normal bobber is that the water inside allows the bobber to float sideways, which allows the line to remain horizontal. it creates a smoother and more natural retrieve that doesn't make as much wake as a normal bobber.
Rented a house on the Dechutes River in Oregon when I was 20 to work at a resort. The house had a whole bunch of fly gear and a few spinning poles. I didn't know how to fly then and I would tie flies to regular pole and throw it out there near rocks in rapids. Would get a lot of trout that way. Then tried it when I lived in Tahoe on Trukee River doing the same and caught lots of trout there as well. Never tried a bobber but why not.
In my case, I buy a 10mm non-perforated woodball and drill a 0.8mm to 1mm hole and use it as a stick, which is better than anything. It's also right in weight, so it flies well in the distance. Stopper+wooden ball+stopper….and fly bait
Here’s what I do, whenever I’m not fly fishing, I take my fly (preferably a wooly bugger) and put a split shot a couple inches above it. This rig is amazing, I highly recommend it
This is not fly fishing. It is nothing but bait casting. Flyfishing requires that you know how to cast a fly with a fly rod. If you are lazier than hell, you do it this way.
Just buy flyfishing gear and learn to cast. I promise you, you’re gonna have tons more fun than Jerry rigging a fly to a bait caster and or spinning reel
You can get a perfectly usable fly rod for $30-40. $50-60 if you want a reel, fly line and a leader, and a few flies. Yes you'll need to learn cast, it's not that hard. And it'll work better than the technique shown.
My brother taught me this technique back in 1979 to catch trout feeding on surface bugs at Crystal Reservoir in Wyoming. I used this technique when stationed at then Ft Lewis, WA and also here in CA; it's a great technique. Sometimes I fill the casting bubble all the way so it slow sinks and I have a tiny Rapala minnow that without the bubble, wouldn't cast far. Great invention, this casting bubble/bobber.
Foldable Kayak that I use in my videos:

What boat is that green one? And thanks for the video
It works but too noisy
I use pistol petes, they have always outperformed those for me for trout!
Or you could get a fly rod
You can put a split weight a few inches above the lure as well.
This is so gay, just get a fly rod

If you’re using streamers or deep sub face flies fully fill the bubble and let it sink
How about just learning to fly fish, you'll look a lot cooler. That flies a wooly bugger by the way that's the most effective fly there is.
Boiiiiii
You can just do it with split shot too
Hrhehehehe you caught a jr.pickerel
Fly fishing can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be. Rods are way overpriced, just get a good fly line.
Pike 😂 no trout nor pan 😂
Flyfiahing without flyrod is no flyfiahing…..period
And Carolina style does it work ???
A weighted slip bobber works great too. Just lock it in place with 2 bobber stops
did you just catch a pike on a nymph
Bombarder floats work better as they are much more denser and streamlined, allowing you to achieve much better sinking and action
That’s a pike not a pickerel lol

Get a weighted slip bobber
Yes I am poor 😂 is what I do 😂
ii use this all the time you can also jerk it a couple times and pause and repeat trout like to hit it on the fall
Does it work with dry flies?
Can u make a whole video of u using it

Did this growing up
Can I get away with 8 pound braid with 8 pound mono line?
Worked so well even your kayak improved.
What about a bombarda or a bombette couldn't you use that instead?
Can someone give me the exact bobber he used? Can’t find any in orange.
I love how they say you need a “water bobber” like I’m not LOOKING at a 1oz weighted bobber rn😂😂😂
Nice I’ll have to try this my next time out. Thanks.
It’s not fly fishing without a fly rod and fly line. It’s just not…

If u can't afford a fly rod then u shouldn't be fly fishing

Just get a fly fishing setup 😂😂. They aren't expensive these days

So bobber fishing 😂 this ain’t fly fishing, even if you use a fly rod
Just fly fish it the chess of fishing, spin fishing is checkers
why not just use a bombarda and youd get more distance
Loved learning this! I’ve caught soooo many fish like this
Can you do it with a normal bobber?
