      Thank you for the great video Westin. Hey, the link above seems to have some problems, it won't pull up. I would appreciate it if you could repost it so I can get one or a few of these flies. I looked for Game Changers flies but could not find one that resemble the one in your video. Thanks bud!!!

    The non slip loop knot! It’s the best and only knot to tie with flies. It adds a beautiful bounce/jigging action to the fly and it’s great. Loads of videos on how to tie it.

    Dude you’re a natural, your form needs some work but I’ve never seen anyone pick up a FR and hammer them as fast as you have. Really cool man! Btw tippet is what you tie to your leader. Separate things. It basically allows you to extend the leader after you’ve lost some. The old school leavers were 6-8 different size tippets tied to tapper down. So you had a bunch of knots, now it a smooth long tapered leader. Facts. Ha, love you’re stuff man.

    • @WestinSmith
      @WestinSmith  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! To be honest I rarely ever cast overhead to create the best loop, I’m almost always at an angle casting along the bank or under trees so I bet getting the proper form isn’t in my future 🤣🤣🤘🏼 I have used tippet and handful of times throwing the light stuff but never anything heavy. This was straight 20lb fluoro right to the fly line, but maybe you’re referring to a comment I made in a previous video?

    Some of those small lakes may not have a lot of fish, but they are all big. There was a lake like that in Virginia where I grew up. Loads of panfish and a few giant bass. Every one I caught was in the 6 to 10 lbs. range.

    Look up the Kreh loop knot, Simple to tie. Try using that 8wt and save that 10wt for salmon or baby tarpon. I use an 8wt for my Cailf stripers. By water loading it should throw any size streamer, including that game changer (which throws like wet sock!). Your casting is getting noticeably better;.
    You get out near the Calif delta in Oct-Nov look me up. I'll get you in my boat and we will chase some stripers. Had one on 3 weeks ago (with an 8wt) that we guessed at 40lbs plus. After 20 minutes just spit the fly.

    • @ohiokeller
      @ohiokeller 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fly fishing is the original/normal way to catch bass/other fish. The spinning reel was invented in 1870 to cast larger flies and the bait caster was invented in the mid17 century. Fly fishing was around near the end of the 2nd century in Rome. Technology has somewhat changed fly fishing but the idea is still the same.
