Why would you be underlining when casting close? Or is that a typo in the gear specs? Not being a smartass just genuinely interested in the thought process/plan.
Yes I pretty much always underline when dry fly fishing rivers. Lands more softly, picks up and mends more easily and is more accurate because the rod tip flexes and deviates less
Hi Tom, Why are you using 9ft rod on this small river.. I usually use 7.6ft rod 3wt moderate fast at max.. with all these trees and bushes. That 9ft 4wt does not bent at all..
Since he’s standing in the middle of the stream and casting straight upstream for the most part, the longer rod probably doesn’t affect casting too much. And according to the description, he underlines his rod for a softer presentation. Probably why it’s not flexing so much.
I would love to spend a day in a place like that
Awesome video. Great fishing
good one Tom !
This stream looks like it would have contained some gold in days past. Excellent fishing and casting with the reeds overhanging etc.
Great video Tom!
What you put on your fly at 9:29? Scent?
It’s a desiccant which dries the fly and helps it float better after catching a few fish on it
Thank you enjoyed that, can i ask what weight was your rod for those small trout, thank you.
G’day Tom , is there any way for you to film closeup shots of fly landing and fish taking fly ? . good videos ❤

G'day mate, love all your content, what super glue do you use when tying?
Hey thanks mate, ‘Selly’s quick fix’ with the brush. Cheers,
Tom
please tie this fly for us .thanx
Hey Tom, that's not a big fly compared to what most tie on- have you seen the size of the stimulators and hoppers people are chunking around?😂
It’s big for me and those fish ok 😅😂
Ive seen your dry fly box too remember haha
@@tomjarmanfishing3208 Haha, there's some serious shame in that box, I need to hide some of them in a dark dark place somewhere 😋
Hello Tom, first time Trout angler here. Can you please tell me what it was yo put that FLY into, when yo put it into that plastic bottle?
Hi Angus, it’s a powdered desiccant that absorbed the moisture out of your fly after you have caught a fish or it’s become waterlogged. Cheers, Tom
@@tomjarmanfishing3208 Hi again Tom. Many thanks for this information mate which is very much appreciated.
