Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!
Can we talk about what a tank that rockfish is? Nice work.
Thanks! I haven't caught a rock fish since my youth - but I thought it looked pretty large :))
Was that a Chinese rock fish?
@@dillonmclaughlin402 no
@@dillonmclaughlin402 Chinese rockfish look like this 🤓
@@monkeyslap you deserve more likes 🤣
Love the seal looking at fisherman as if to say “You gonna eat that?”
Nice haha
Agreed. One time I was fishing in the Puget Sound near Seattle/Tacoma and I had salmon on… Next thing you know, my line snaps and the fat bastard came up and ate it right in front of me. Talk about a slap in thee face!
The worst!
Wow how rude of the seal
I do a lot of fishing in Westport Washington and the seals have become such problem for the fishers Grey's Harbor County allowed the fisher me to shoot them because they were eating so much of their catches.
@@jordanevans4657 I wish the state would do it in bigger numbers. There are just too many of them.
I love Puget Sound.
Adds new meaning to the sport of "competitive fishing"
I have no clue what kind of fish that was, but it obviously lives near the bottom. That makes it a pretty cool catch for a fly rod.
i call em stonefish
@@justyahz796 are those the one with the poisonous spines?
@@zilongames9509 yea!
I thought that sea lion was gonna get your fish for sure 😂 good job !
Here in Brazil the fish thiefs are the river dolphins, they dont hunt anymore😂😂😂, nice fish bro!
Love it. Great video. At least you were kind about it.
Totally - I just wanted to 'win' :))
I can honestly hear the seal saying excuse me that was mine
Lol - exactly!
He was like hey sir can I have tht ?😂😂
I was like...nope!
in the Columbia River the seals and sea lions will just drift down river watching all the boats. if someone stands up the seal heads to the boat assuming there's a fish on. We hooked 8 salmon one day and the seals ate everyone. Then we learned to not stand up until we were ready to net the fish.
How did you catch a rockfish on a fly? How do you get the fly deep enough?
Our go to rig for rockfish is a drop shot with a giant 8 oz sinker because we’re fishing 300-600 feet deep
We were fishing about 35 - 40 feet deep off a reef that plummeted to hundreds of feet deep. I used a heavy sink tip and lots of patience!
They hit it like a ton of bricks. And either spool you or break your pole. Occasionally I've seen people get them away from them. thanks to the fish.
Wow never seen a fly rod in saltwater
Right?m
Where I used to live and fish if seals weren't being a pest it was penguins stealing your live bait.
Fishing by the sea Lion condo, he thought you were bringing the food
new fear unlocked
And people wonder why sealions wash up on shore with bullet holes.
Reminds me of the turtles who take the bait instead of the carp and catfish.
Where is this taking place?
Out in the straights of the PNW (N. Puget Sound)
Nice Quillback, but that Sea Lion wasn't 1000 pounds.
The TAX MAN
“Your fish? It’s in my ocean, that makes it my fish.”
His rod his reel. Caught a fish. Meaning his fish. Rarely any free meals out in nature
Thankfully you had a sweet quillback instead of a salmon
Gotta thin out those pinnipeds
U use the fly fishing rod at sea?
Oh yeah! :))
It's seal not sealion...
And I think things like sharks are worse... But from fresh water... There's electric eel.
Vypadá to že jste měli pomocníka že? Jinak samozřejmě nice work.👏👏👏👍👍👍😍😍😍
It looks like a sculpin he won’t mess with it.
That’s awesome I need to get out on the jetty for some rockfish and lingcod
WAY more fun that I would have thought. Fight hard - especially the lingcod! (which have to be released).
@@FlyFishDan we are allowed to harvest here in Oregon, and they are prob the best tasting fish I’ve ever had
@@Paulpoission I threw back several 5 pounders - China Rockfish and one Black
@@FlyFishDan how deep were you fishing?
@@Paulpoission we were running a reef 32-45 feet deep
Over where I fish its sharks and dolphins you have to worry about. Youll have a striper on your line and then as its coming up to the top BAM! Gone.
Easy meal for sure
Ah, hell...
Should've just gave it up.
He earned it...really.
It would have been a very spiney meal for sure :))
“1000 pound see Lion”
Did you weigh it?😅
I just wanna know how the hell do you fly fish for rockfish
It was pretty cool - I am working on a video on just that!
Dolphins are pretty bad for it too
Need to get rid of about 500,000 of those seals
How could you not feed that good boy the fish? BTW, dolphins do this to, I was fly fishing marco island dock lights at night for Snook as we had a Dolphin just waiting like 15 feet off the boat.
Where is this?
Would you be able to make a video on how to spool a saltwater fly reel
I’ll put that on the list!
1000 pound sea lion? 🤣💀 cmon now
Maybe 500? :))
The sea lion just wanted to know where you got your reel
Lol - ahhhh...that makes sense now! :))
Dogs and bait stealing birds are what I hate the most on the waters. Cant tell ya how many yellowtail and schoolie tuna ive lost to those bastards haha
see Ocean Conservation Namibia....you may never cast another line in the Ocean again. if you do, please use biodegradable line...
bottom fishing with a fly rod?
Yup!
The dolphins do the same thing in Florida, tourists feed them constantly and now they just sit where guys fish and take bait off hooks and catch fish off lines they try to reel in smh
Sea lion: just toss em back in bud.
Lol oh man. I thought I hated ducks and turtles and crabs when fishing. But a sea lion? Oh hell naw
Lol - they can be menacing!
Well atleast seals don’t eat the fucking hook like turtles!
@@raazyboro169 no just your PB before you get to land it but after you've fought and tired it out and got it right next to the boat lol
Yup that there is a nice moose fish
The equivalent of dolphins in florida
And sharks
Why you are deep fishing with a fly rod, I do not know. It seems to work pretty good though.
Here in Ireland the seals are tenacious little shits, but I've never had one try to take my fish. They're more curious than anything else
Try fishing in Dun Laoghaire pier there’s a pair who live in the harbour who just lazily wait until you’ve a fish and then pounce I had at least 6 mackerel stolen this season.
@@oisin3495 Which pier; West or East?
I fish both piers often and never seen them.
@@oisin3495 rat poisoning works wonders
@@DistortedMartyr I don’t really mind them I don’t usually eat mackerel anyways just use them for bait so losing a few is grand. They do rip your feathers apart though sometimes
@@skateboardingjesus4006 West pier at the end as you fish out of the harbour into the bay
I'm glad you got to land your fish, because I had a damn sea lion actually jump almost 4 feet out of the water and grab my salmon and bark at me the prick.
Wow! That would have been crazy to see!
That sea lion stole your catch AND called you a bitch, thats a fist fight my man
He he he
Magic word... SALMON.
“Do not steal my fish!!! Haha nooo don’t steal it! Don’t steal my fish!!!!!”………*while hanging the fish over its head*
😂😂
Looked like a Quillback, glad you were able to get him!
Good eye
My mom and I were fly fishing for some Bonita(False Albacore) and she caught this really nice 8lb. Right as we released it, a sea lion popped up with her fish in his mouth...
Lol - easy meal for sure!
Was on an Astoria salmon fishing trip in august and saw many fishermen and their guests fighting sea lions for the fish 😂. Happened to a guy in our boat too. All that was left of the fish after the 1 second attack was it’s nose and 1 half of the lower jaw
They can be something else - they look for the easy meal and a lot of times it's at the end of our fishing rod!
I’ve never seen anyone fish salt water with a fly rod nice fish
Thanks!
Rockfish??? Bro that’s a BOULDER fish!!!!! Thing is huuuuuge
Not 1000lb but a threat for sure
That sea lion didn't need you broadcasting its weight like that.
Lol! :))
You should have gave him the fish maybe he would have returned the favor
Perhaps a pot of gold??
Yeah, I'd keep some rocks on board. As much as I wouldn't want my fish stolen, I would be terrified the thing would somehow get hooked in the process. Also, you're probably off the animals weight by 3 or 4 hundred pounds
I've seen people feeding them from boats thinking its funny. People cause these problems
My worst nightmare would be more along the lines of being in the middle of the ocean with a big hole the bottom of my boat…
Hopefully I'll never have the opportunity to capture that on film!
@@FlyFishDan Agree 100%. If it happened, hopefully nobody would get harmed and the footage would go viral such that view revenue would be able to fund a new vessel!
You'd better quit flapping your gums and get that fish on board!
I was fishing in Morrow Bay party boat first time I ever fished in California and I said to the guy next to me hey there’s a seal he said well damn I said why because he’s here to steal our fish sure enough as I was reeling up the damn thing came underneath my fish and bit all the way from the head down all I was left the head and hook
This is not a saltwater fishermen's worst nightmare! If that were a great white now that's more like a nightmare! Lol
Lol @ 1000 pound sea lion. Never used a rod and reel setup like that. Looks interesting
I might have overestimated his weight :)) On the fly rod! Pretty cool
Seal hate rockfish, love salmon though
That's just fisherman's worst nightmare
Kinda rare to see a fly fishing here and at the sea, good job man.
Thanks! We were the only ones doing that on this day for sure :))
I witnessed a sea lion almost get a guy wading. Saw the things head going down run, then go under at the pool. I told him there's a seal in here, ten seconds later , it breaks water in front of him mouth open , guy ran out like Kermit the frog
They can be intimidating for sure - yikes!
bro that shits scary as hell😂 i was chased and attacked by a beaver fishing a stream and i was laughing about that. but not a damn sea lion😂
If it was a female with a pup nearby, he would have been running like Kermit minus an arse cheek and probably a couple of fingers.
@@yeetskeet5529 yeah I noped right out of there. Beavers are jerks
@@skateboardingjesus4006 probably just a big bull. Dont think a female would take a pup so far up river
that 1000 lb sea lion almost got your 60 lb fish...
That's probably the ratio of exaggeration...Lol
is that reel a lamson liquid?
Remix :))
You are in his territory. He is just a shark of another color. I am not lion either…… thanks Dan for sharing.
I won the battle on this day :))
Your not lion?
Sealions worst nightmare.
I like to fish off docks in Galveston Texas and sometimes I get harassed my fricken SEA TURTLES the little bastards like to come and take bites at my bait shrimp and freak me out cause it’s big trouble to hook one of them
That's nuts!
IM new to fly fishing and reside in the beautiful pnw, never would i have imagined salt water fishing was an option with the fly for anything other then coastal cuttys here! definitely adding to the bucket list
Finally
Bottom fishing with a fly rod.
Not even close to a worst nightmare
Fishing for some brookies out the ocean there?? So confused why you have a fly rod.
It's just cool to catch a fish that you would typically use a spinning rod or level wind on the fly rod :))
Can we please talk about how he's using a fly rod to catch a big rock fish in saltwater?
What are you using for the lure?
It was pretty epic day for sure. I was using a giant Clouser minnow with a large dumbbell head tied on a tuna hook.
Salmon fishing up north, it's half the battle getting one on and the next 45 mins to get it away from the water pigs.
Best thing I learned is let the line out, the fish can swim faster than your reeling and than the piggy.
Water pigs - love that!
more like 10 000 pound sea lion 😂
How would you like it if a sealion came to your house and raided your refrigerator??? Lol!
I would give him whatever he wanted and hope he didn't want to dine in!
Why is the handle on your reel tiny
I can't believe you got it in.
This is why you carry a paint ball gun with ball barring inside instead
It’s not that deep bruh let th lil son steal th fish
Haha it looks like he was more interested in just watching you reel the fish in more so trying to steal it😂 almost as if the sea lion was amused! Regardless, what a awesome interaction and great catch!
The sea lion was trying to learn
Bro’s camping
Love it that was fun
hate those damn sea dogs. had a beautiful halibut stolen by on once.
That would be horrible!
A crocodile is worse!
That and sharks lol
That was great lol
Have to ask what fly you were using?
I was using a giant Clouser minnow.
How far offshore do they usually hangout?
We were miles off shore - just up on a shallow reef. That's where you need to look :))
Harry! Go away
I doubt that’s their worst nightmare, I would think their worst nightmare is like a hurricane randomly occurring
Very true...that would be way worse
I was waiting for a great white to jump out the water
Lol - thank God that didn't happen! The seal was scary enough :))
