Yep local fly shops have their uses. They know the patterns and they even share some general use knowledge...Where did you get the best fish. Oh in the river around that North bend about halfway up the left side...Yep good fishing right there....lol
great video man! im super new to fly fishing and actually fished there just last weekend and i only caught one fish all day so you gave me a new fly to try! also a new shop to visit! i need to check out alpharetta outfitters. i love the hooch videos tho cause they are so close to home and i always learn a ton from ya! thanks for all the great videos and keep em coming!!
Thanks for the sub! Glad to hear I am helping a bit. I've had that reel for a couple years now and the drag is starting to slip on me. Definitely worth the price tag though. The folks at Alpharetta Outfitters are great. Always eager to help. I've had a lot of luck with red copper johns and when the water is clean a black zebra midge can do pretty well. Egg patterns in the fall do pretty good as well. I use a Y2K all winter.
Decided to try TrueFly after watching your video and it hasn't turned out so well. Ordered the fly box on the 25th. Got an email claiming they shipped my box on the 27th but the post office still has never received the package. I emailed them on the 31st and got an auto response saying they would get back with me. I emailed them on 9/1 and got the same response. Tried to find a phone number on their site but there is not one to be found. Yes I would support a local shop if we had one that dealt with trout fishing. My local shop only has about 20 saltwater flies and a lot of clothing. Love to hear if anybody has actually received one of the subscription boxes.
That’s a bummer. I never ordered the subscription so I am not sure how the customer support is. I hope it gets there soon. When it does, let me know how it goes.
@@GoodBuddyFlyFishing The box finally arrived on 9/7. I got 6 fly patterns 4 each, a magnetic catch, 9' leader and a sticker. I would say I got my moneys worth but not happy at all that no one has ever returned my emails. I have tried to cancel my subscription but since I have not heard back I don't know what is going to happen.
@@GoodBuddyFlyFishing Didn't know he had one. Thanks for the information and I hope some time ya'll two get together to fish. Ya'll are the Lewis and Martin of fly fishing.
Steve is full time TH-cam with his history channel. He was having a hard time putting energy into Good Buddy. We’re still good and I am pretty sure he’ll be around for some videos.
Narrating your thought process was pretty good content. Love you vids
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it.
A bad day on the river is better than the best day in the office. I was looking at these boxes a week or two ago. So this right on time. Great video.
Awesome. Thanks for watching.

Got to have good customer service to keep your customers.
Great video.. little info on the San Juan worm they're good after a rainstorm in smaller Creeks though.
Thanks for the tip!
Looks lke you had a decent day. So where is Steve.
It was a pretty good day. Steve had to step away from Good Buddy to focus on his history channel.

Are you using an external mic? Maybe it's just me, but for some reason the water always sounds so much better in your vids.
Just a GoPro.
What happened to Steve!?

That makes sense. What’s his other channel called?
