Been watching NFF for a good while. Graham Bristol gave the clearest, most complete, most productive training (advice) than any guide I’ve ever seen on the show !!! Great show. Thanks.
Thanks Jim, I love to teach when I guide so that's just the way I do things everyday with my clients, and I always have a great time with The New Fly Fisher crew so they made it look easy.
@@aperfectdriftguidecompany , Could you please elaborate on , how do you manage to walk on mud without creating a mud cloud at your foot? I am a centrepin angler so I have to cover water downstream , so this is an issue I am struggling with. Any pointers would help
Like this video, sitting and waiting for spring to come. Nice to see areas that I have fished for many years, and the restorations that have been done by so many people over a number of years. Keep up the effort and a thank-you. To those who use these hard earned resources. leave the river cleaner than when you walked in carry a bag and please don't leave anything behind and please pickup for those who don't have the brains to do it. Using the river system is a privilege no a right. Tight lines.
The 1st tip he gave about big fish being in shallow water so accurate. I got a 6 lb steelhead in 8 inches of water. So many anglers dismiss stretches of water because its shallow.
A great instructional video on fly fishing. I'm always curious about the vegetation on the stream bank that provides the food source for all the aquatic inhabitants in the stream and the reason there are healthy 20+ brown trout in the river.
Recently my wife and I met Colin at a fishing show in MI. Got so star struck that him and his company probably thought I was drunk 😂 Thanks for the flies Colin! My heroes at new fly fisher! Great videos!!!
Hi John, If you are referring to the streamer leader it's a 9' tapered cut a short to around 5 feet with an added 10" to 16" tippet of 10lb to 12lb test. I use short leader for tight cover and longer 9 foot to 11 foot leader for more open water with less wood. Hope that helps.
@@newflyfisher thanks, I meant what weight too, I live near by and I want to spend a lot more time on this river this year. Wondering what would be the best rod. Thanks
@@darrenzammit427 There isn’t really a “best.” A five weight is perfect for most Ontario fly fishing, so start there. Personally, a 3 is ideal for small streams, can even pitch small streamers, or a strike indicator and some lead, but any smaller and you’re in toy country. A seven for big pike, steelhead, salmon.

Mountain tailwaters are cool, but nothing beats spring creeks imo. Beautiful scenery and beautiful browns!

Wtf bud u shouldn’t be fishing for steelhead in water like that. Could’ve been pulling them off redds
Really excellent advice. One of the best kn he series. No nosesncue and all good for any small stream. Thanks. :-)
Interesting about finding Browns in just a foot of water. Nice job as always. One of the best.
Glad you enjoyed it

Graham your 6’ leader a reduced Tapered. Leader or is it a 6ft. Piece of 3x/2xmono?

Oh what I’d do the be at that stream right now...

The New Fly Fisher I sure hope so!
What what rods were they using?length?
we were using 9 or 9'6" rods
@@newflyfisher thanks, I meant what weight too, I live near by and I want to spend a lot more time on this river this year. Wondering what would be the best rod.
Thanks

19:52 I'm in great pain, lost a brwon even bigger than this one last week.
Thank you for commenting on wearing "cammo." Sometimes I feel like the only one who beleives fish see better than us.
At some point you've got to pressure them. If that's a heavily weighted fly go to a micro-barbed hook, and avoid round bends.
Nice
3:23. Wasn’t the barbless hook It
was the fisherman.
i am literally chomping at the bit to get fishing...lol
we all are, can hardly wait to get out there too!
where abouts is this
???
streamers for browns all day long .
RIP Colin!
Give him a slack......😉
These guys playing fish to long lol
