@@MammothRoofing haha I didn’t notice it while it was happening or editing! You guys pointed it out to me, hilarious the places where tailwater fish will sit. Thanks for watching!
Nice! 2-fly or 3-fly rig? It 1/2 looked like at one point there was a tag? Missed the dropper behind your 'blue river special'. Speaking of, was that a sort of buzzer?
@@GrooveColo I only run two flies nowadays, three flies tend to get wrapped and snagged up in fish. Plus I would rarely catch them on the last fly anyways. And the taylor river special is an annelid/midge larva pattern I “came up with”. Body tubing and a long hook! Hope that helps and thanks for watching
@@buddygregory8466 midges, midges, and more midges!!! That’s wintertime tailwater fishing! Sometimes leading with an egg or a small stonefly (hares ear, pheasant tail, two bit, etc) can lead to better bites. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words 😎
Question about fly rods. For Christmas this year, my parents are getting me a new fly fishing set/combo, and I need to see what weight should I get? I’m between the 5 wt and the 6 wt. The flies I’m going to use are going to be mostly size 12-18, and I’m going to be fishing for trout and probably steelhead.
@aminehaouchine that’s an awesome question! I would say upfront that neither rod is going to cover both species, both 5 and 6wts are trout rods that can be used for other species but nothing quite as big as a steelhead. Between those two rods, however, I would recommend a 5wt since it can do just about everything you’d need to on an average trout excursion. But if you have a 5wt already, then get the 6 and use it for streamers, nymphing, and hopper dropper fishing! Having a diverse rod quiver will open you up to more opportunities. Separate note, for steelhead rods, I would suggest an 8wt as your do-all, depending on where you’re chasing steelhead. Hope this helps and enjoy the new setup. Merry Christmas and thanks for watching
@ thank you so much. So I will go with the 5 wt, and it’s gonna be my second fly rod. My first rod is a 8’6” 5/6wt, the only issue with it is the reel and it’s poor quality. That why I’m upgrading do to a better quality. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
I think the Blue is worth it but it is normally extremely crowded, as crowded as Deckers. The fish are fun but I don't find them as fighters. They kind of just give up.
@@dylancrane5170 yeah it does get very crowded! And I’ll agree, the fight on the fish is minimal at best. Seems to be the standard for stocked fish once they’ve been caught a few times. Thanks for watching!
That last rainbow, did you notice the second fish next to your net? Crazy! 😂

Great video; really nice fish too. At 11:38 it looks like you spooked another good fish. But still a great video. Keep it up!

Really good video, thanks for sharing! I don't there but just curious what kind of flies they are eating.
