as usual i learned something from Dave. great video.
Thanks for watching, Mark and thanks for the comment.
Great Series!! Much appreciated. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for watching!
So happy the Ranting Angler is doing youTube! I love your blog and have learned a lot from your dropshot series. I've actually started incorporating the dropshot series into my upstream spider fishing.
Spider fishing...sounds like someone from across the waves. Thanks for watching and glad you're experiencing success on the water!
Another great video and great timing, had the gray fox, dorthea and vitreous on the kitchen window this a.m.

Great video. Excellent information. The insets with the pictures is a great learning tool. Please leave the photo insets up longer so we can study them more.
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Great stuff! Thank you.
And thank you, Scott Lowe!
Nice video guys and thank you
Thanks, Dave, for both the comment and for watching.
Great info! Ever hear of a Coral mayfly size 8 2XL ish yellow wing salmon color body. It’s part of the March brown species and only hatches on one creek in NY.
No, I have not. That is super interesting, sounds like a fun hatch to fish
This is a superb video series. Thanks for sharing all your hard-earned knowledge, Dave. Now, for a question: do you fish subsurface flies during, before, or after these hatches. If so, what kinds of flies and techniques do you prefer?
Thanks for watching, Alex. Rising fish is what prompts me to fish a surface fly and it has to be more than one fish rising just once. Prior to any surface activity I'll fish subsurface. Same with after rise activity ceases. If there's a hatch and not enough surface activity to interest me I'll fish subsurface. As mentioned in the video I prefer comparadun-style or parachute dun patterns. If I can position myself properly I prefer a slightly downstream presentation to the rising fish with the fly landing no more than 2 feet above the riseform. This doesn't spook the fish and the short drift reduces the possibility of drag setting in before the fly arrives in the trout's view.
Excellent presentation guys...... looks like you are a "Dryfly Guy'....Lol.
In your next video could you include 'emerger patterns" for those of us who don't do a lot of dryfly fishing.
*******best wishes****** John in SE PA.
Actually I'm not primarily a "Dryfly Guy." My confession would be that I don't fish many beadhead nymphs. I tie and fish flies that hopefully suggest the real critters. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
could you guys make a video for beginner set ups i watched the other videos but there's so much information I'm getting a little confused. I'm moving to Montana soon and id really like to get into this sport. thanks for the videos guys its really the most in depth and knowledgeable fly fishing videos I've seen in the past few weeks of research. keep up the good work
edit: also if you guys want to ask me some questions if you do end up making this video id be more than happy to help with gathering some questions for yall to better explain to beginners!
Brant, thanks for watching. We'll give your suggestion some thought and see where it goes.
Great information
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Hooked ! Subscribing
Perfect timing that that fish rose
Great added effect, for sure. Thanks for watching.
Appreciate this and knowing more is better. At the same time, fish don’t count the tails if they’re eating.
You're right about the tails; however, some of us just get a kick out of trying to provide the trout with something we think might fool them. Of course, there are many times they make a fool of me by ignoring what I offer. Thanks for watching!
@@daverothrock8372 happened to me yesterday a couple times!
Nice . When fishing the nymphal stage and emergent stage do you stay with the same dubbing colors as the duns or do you go darker ? Thanks for sharing.
Nymphs and spinners are different colors than the duns for the vast majority of mayflies. I do my best to use references which show me what those critters look like and then tie my patterns accordingly. Thanks for watching!
Looking for the late season hatch. Any time soon?
I am a newb but just curious how we got through early/mid season hatches in Cental PA without mentioning Caddis? Maybe a video all to itself? Thanks these are very helpful!
The focus on this series has been May flies, but that is a really good idea for a future topic. Thanks for asking!
Hi, I am new to fly fishing and trying to learn. I am thinking about trying to tie my own flys. I live in southeastern Massachusetts. Do these march browns hatch in my area. Thank you don
The best thing to do is look up a hatch chart for your area. It will tell you the hatches and approximate times the bugs hatch.
don't need to worry about the name of bugs to pick a lookalike from your fly box.
So true. Thanks for watching!
I looked so forward to watching this very important rally of so many people from the Bronx to see President Trump. It is incredible but there is just ONE thing and it has to do with FOX NEWS camera quality. It really sucked. So many digitalizing blank outs and very poor focus from the camera feed. I could not believe how low the quality was It is a disgrace to FOX NEWS.
