bow and arrow cast - Absolutely brilliant
Nice work Tom.
Keep this up and they'll be coming from all over the land and from overseas to plunder my (our) river. 😉😂
👍
😅😂 as they should haha
Stunning looking water and lots of useful tips scattered throughout. Great video!
That terrain and body of water is absolutely amazing. Great video!
Hey thank you 😊
Lovely water Tom, nicely dissected! Thanks as always.
Beautiful place!
Thanks for sharing Tom - professional, easy flowing video as always - love your relaxed, honest style…
Sick vid mate. Always a pleasure watching you fish!
Hey thanks mate! Will I see you up at the Mitta Mitta comp?
I have noticed that you've recently been using a soft, fold-out thing for your nymphs (and dry flies?) - could you tell us about what that is and what you like about it? Maybe in a fishing vid or in a separate little gear video? Cheers - love your stuff.
Excellent video Tom, Howqua is my old stomping ground so really enjoyed watching a pro fish it. When you said your keeping close with your casts how close are you talking, i mean what would be your average casting distance on a river like this? Hard to tell on camera.
Is that the new amplitude smooth line? It seems to land so nice.
Yeah it is :)
Hey tom, where did u get your fly “wallet” from or did u make it? Cheers mate
It’s from Spain made by a friend. You can buy similar ones online. I also use Yann Caleri’s one from his shop Caleri Fly Fishing in France
Hi Tom, love your videos. Am I right in saying you prefer your leader to land in a squiggly line. Say like a snake.TIA
Thanks but you never answerd my question
just wondering would it help to use an over weighted fly line to throw a longer leader in your opinion?
I don’t think so, it would just make your rod tip flex more. For me it’s about the transfer of energy through the leader not the fly line. A heavier and more aggressive leader would help, but then that’s counter intuitive to achieving a nice presentation. And when fishing in currents I never want my leader to turn over, it needs to fade and land with a controlled amount of slack.
Sorry it’s hard to explain, it’s easier to see in person on the water.
Cheers,
Tom
Ah thats a great help Tom, and very much appreciated, thank you very much indeed.@@tomjarmanfishing3208
What are the benefits of having CDC feathers in flies - you mentioned that you are partial to CDC Mayflies and CDC Caddis Flies?
A few reasons, but mainly because they are super buoyant with very little resistance in the air when casting and also when fish eat them because the fibres slick down to almost nothing. So I find them to be more accurate to cast and I miss very few fish because no hackles or stiff material get in the way when the fish has taken the fly. I hope this helps.
Cheers, Tom
@@tomjarmanfishing3208 Fascinating - I had no idea that CDC dry flies were so potent - you have motivated me to give them a whirl…thanks Tom…more flies that I need to buy 🙂…
