Thank you! Hope it helps you out on the water!

I feel more confident with those knots as I have been using them forever. I would recommend experimenting with all types of knots to find out what you feel works for your particular system. There are some great articles out there that go into depth about break strength on knots that is also super helpful. But for me, I know that these are solid and wont fail me on the water.

Thank you for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Ed. Greatly appreciated!

Thank you George! Greatly appreciated.

Hello @motul23, you can purchase these kits at drifthook.com/ at this time we only ship to the continental United States but are looking into shipping internationally in 2024

doesnt the continental states count as canada, considering we are right next door? lol @@Drifthook

Thanks Kesson! If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for watching MSG. Let us know if you ever have any questions. We love to talk about fly fishing!

Hi AngryJT, the easiest way is to tie on a dry fly or nymph to your line and then about 2 to 3 feet up the line add a bobber. You can then cast the bobber and fly at the same time. You can use a lot of the rig setups in our videos, but have the bobber above all of them. Hope this helps.

Yes it is. But worth it when you hook into that Trout of a lifetime.

No. But out here, our waters are fished heavily, and if everyone took their limit, we wouldn't have much to fish for after a month.

Thanks for the comment and watching the channel. Im glad this helped you out and let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hello, we typically recommend 4 weight to 6 weight for trout. In this video a 6 weight was used. But the same techniques could be used on smaller rods for smaller streams.

Thank you!

Thank you Texukur! Hope your out on the water today.

Thanks Jared we hope it helps

@@Drifthook y'all and me both. Going for fishing for the first time this week so it should be fun.

Thank you Shinigami! You have a great summer as well!

Thanks, and noted. Have fun out there.

Hi Ray, if you are fishing in 2 to 3 feet of water, especially clear water you might want to try a Dorsey indicator or a yarn indicator. They land softly on the water but still give you a visual clue when drifting the nymphs. I have also fished with sighter material that is just a bright section of line that you can place in your rig as a visual cue for strikes. Good luck out there and we hope you catch the big one!

Thanks for reply I never heard of them type of indicators,I live in Ireland maybe we can't get them over here, but I will give the coloured line ago.Thanks very much and tight lines.

@@RD85010 Thank you Ray. Have a great weekend.

Thanks Noel. Hope it helps and you catch the big one out there.

Thank you Sigurdsson, Im glad it was helpful.

Thanks. Not sure what G2 references but thanks for checking it out.

Hello Veracious Reasoning, we are in the process of creating new content and I think a winter fly fishing video would be great. I will add it to our content calendar. Thanks for watching.

Hi Anthony, I like to approach the water and let it tell me how I should be fishing. I love dry fly fishing, but I love catching more. I will start with nymphs if I do not see any action on the surface, heads, backs, or tails. As the day warms up and If I see any surface action or hatches, I will typically switch over to dries. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching.

@@Drifthook absolutely, sounds like a good strategy, I’m new and still getting the hang of things. Thanks for your reply!

Hello Choii, when dry fly fishing, I typically like to stick to monofilament as it will ride higher on the water's surface. With that being said, I have fished flouroflex as well when I did not have any mono available, and the difference is barely noticeable if you have a larger fly. You will see your dry fly sinking with smaller flys but sometimes this is not a bad thing as it acts like a crippler or emerging pattern just below the water surface. Feel free to experiment with both to see what you prefer. Thanks for watching the video and let me know if you have any other questions.

You're welcome!

Thanks Val. We are glad that they could be helpful. Best of luck out there.

Hi Sonia, thanks for the correction. I used the term Nymph as it is more commonly known in the fly fishing industry. But I should make a note / revision to be more accurate. Thank you for watching the video, I hope you enjoyed it even with the inaccuracy.

@@Drifthook No problem!

Hello Sahil, without seeing the actual hook up and fighting the fish it is tough to tell. But try these couple of ideas next time you are out there and see if it helps. 1. After you set the hook make sure you have a tight line and no slack between the rod and the fish. 2. Instead of having the rod tip vertical while bringing it in, place the rod more at 3/4 upstream or even parallel upstream. The reason for this is your hook set might be more in the lower part of the fish's mouth and when you move the rod tip verticle it pops put the fly. Keep the rod angle at the same angle you hooked the fish. Let me know if that helps. Thanks again for watching the video.

@@drifthookflyfishingllc.4187 Thanks a lot buddy...will let you know what happens...thanks again!

Hi Sahil, did you have better luck out there?

That is a nice one! 17.5! Congrats... sorry he did not make it back. But hopefully this helps you get them back in the water so they can grow bigger. Have fun out there.

Thank you piemuggs! We are happy that they help. We have tons more free instruction at Drifthook.com as well as hundreds of instructional based articles. Thanks again!

Thanks Ricky. We are slowly growing. Thanks for the watch.

Not the Thompson, that is the Gunnison River at Pleasure Park. It's near Paonia CO.

Yes it’s. Well said SldgeHammr!

It’s a very fine game, it is very hard not to immediately set the hook. I have learned to say the word in my head.. Mississippi… and then set the hook. But it is only moments of pause that is needed. I hope this helps.

@@Drifthook thanks

Great video, very informative.👍👍

Thanks OneMore Thing! I'm glad we could visually explain seams. It is a difficult thing to find if you don't know where to look. Best of luck out there and we have tons of more great information at drifthook.com/ if you are interested.

Thanks for the feedback, Robin. In our newer videos, we show a lot more action and demonstration. Check out this new Streamer Video here th-cam.com/video/lR8Znvg_Ouo/w-d-xo.html

Thank you! Love that part of CO

Hi William, you bring up a great point. The focus on this particular skill was geared towards beginners as most new fly fishers tend to drop the rod parallel with the water taking the fight out of the rod and placing all the force on the tippet. But I agree, I have found that as long as you are at an angle that keeps constant pressure it is easier to bring in fish faster and safer. Thanks for the great comment.

@@Drifthook Yeah, keeping a bend in the rod is key. BTW, your videos are great.

You are describing a technique for where there is a fast flowing current - particularly when you fish upstream - set the hook downstream and then apply that side pressure back upstream etc. It works well for sure! I find that a combination depending on what the fish does (particularly in still water) works well! I like a lower rod with side pressure, but sometimes switch to a high tip where I have to adjust my position! It is easier to keep the pressure on at all times that way. The amount of times I have lowered the tip to pick up my net and lost the fish lol I do use barbless hooks though (that's my lame excuse). Tight lines brother!

@@Mo-xx9gg Good point Reece. It does depend on how the fish is fighting you and what water type you are in. I might have to make a follow-up video to go into more detail on all of these great points. Thanks for watching. Greatly appreciated.

Thanks Shane! Greatly appreciated. We also have tons of articles and additional videos at drifthook.com/ if you want to learn more.

Thanks Skryptto. I wish I could choose the ads, but unfortunately that is out of my control. Have fun out there.
