Thank you for the fly combo suggestions! I picked up the Martin one. I’ve been practicing casting but I’m not that great... Hopefully I can be as good as you lol
That’s awesome Andy! You’ll be a pro in no time, just takes practice so keep it up. Soon you’ll be posting videos showing all the fish you catch on the fly!
@@highholescramblers I hope so! I kind of know how to cast, I’ll have a whole trail of line behind me but then when I cast it out there it all bunches up
Do you have actual fly line out past your guides? As I am having casting just with just the butt section of my euro nymph setup out past and in my guides. Wonder if it is easier if I have actual fly line out past the guides?
Hey Lyndon - that’s an interesting question and having fly line out could help but I’ve never tried it. I typically use 20+ foot leaders and only have the leader past the guides. In fact, I’ve seen a lot of guys start going to super long 30-40 foot thin leaders so they will definitely never have any fly line out. Frankly I think that’s a bit much and usually only have 15-18 feet of line out past my guides. If you are having trouble I would suggest increasing the weight of your flies and trying a lighter leader setup. I run 10lb chameleon down to 8lb amnesia sighter and then add a tipper ring and drop 5/6X to my flies. With one big tungsten fly on the point and a lighter fly on the dropper I usually don’t have any issues getting out 20 feet or so.
Great video---question-----are you actually feeling the trout take the nymph, or do you watch the indicator line to know when the trout hits the fly?---thanks for sharing
Great question, Bill. Primarily watching the sighter line. The last 18 inches of my euro leader I tied up 3 six inch sections using triple surgeons knots and I left little tags so I effectively have 3 little tag sighters at the bottom of the leader. That said, in larger rivers with a bit more current helping to hold your line tight, you can often feel a take however even then, you’ll typically see it first and in my opinion have a better chance at a good hook set if you do.
Hey Shannon. We are using a GoPro 10 and a GoPro 9. Sometimes a DJI drone like in the video we are releasing next. What do you guys use? Maybe it’s a setting with the camera or when you upload. Happy to help.
Great content man! Definitely subscribed to your channel!Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Thanks so much! Had a lot going on so took the winter off from filming but am looking forward to some fun video projects this spring!
Loved it Bro..Pauly at Wilderness Coast on Fly in Australia 👍🤓
Thanks Pauly!! Appreciate the kind words. 😁

I have the same rod... love it
Nice! Do you have the 10ft 3wt version? It’s such a versatile rod. I’ll even over line it with a 5wt reel and floating line and use it for dry flies.
@@highholescramblers I do ... recon 10 ft 3 wt ... interesting set up with the 5wt reel... I have to try that!!
