Phil is just fantastic. He and Brian “Chan the Man” have fueled my addiction to lake fishing. This Might be the best hour on lake fly fishing ever. I have Phil and Brian’s chrony fishing dvd and watch it every year as a refresher course before fishing season. Thanks for this free Lake Flyfishing 404 advanced doctorate level vid!
Thanks for these words and feedback, much appreciated
Phil is the still water genius and explains and demonstrates so well...great show👍🏼
Thank you guys so much for everything that went into this one, by far one of the best and most comprehensive and complete reference I’ve found thus far regarding Stillwater fishing. Honestly made my life so much easier and answered a lot of questions that I hadn’t found demonstrated answers to.
Glad it was helpful!
This one of the most informative teaching on fly fishing I have ever watch. I learned a lot. This is awesome!!!
Thanks Douglas, I am pleased that you enjoyed it.
Cheers, Phil
The most informative video I have ever seen. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the best fishing teaching videos I've ever seen
Phil , I certainly enjoyed the video on Stillwater fishing. I learned lots and you are a very patient teacher with tons of information and enthusiasm. I am 73 years young now with a bad back. This keeps me from wading a stream. I have been doing exclusively float tubing on still water with moderate success, but after viewing your video, I am stoked to get back out. Hurray for you! Superb teaching!!! Thanks so much and, as always, stay safe. Have a nice holiday season and happy fishing.
Ps
I thought I’d share with you a bit of personal fishing history. My father was in the Tenth Mtn Division in WW II. He packed a bit of fly line, leader materials and flys and went off to war. While posted in the Aleutian Islands, because of the Japanese invasion, he would take a buggy whip antenna and fish. He did the same thing in Italy. There’s too much of the stories to go into, but I thought you might enjoy a bit of fly fishing history.
Thanks, Susy
Thank you and happy holidays to you as well!
You guys are an inspiration. I have been watching all of your videos and I love how you take the time to break everything down to simplicity. One small but very important thing I take from you guys is that every time we're out on the water it's a lesson. And the more we stop and realize this, the more you open up to nature's lessons.
Also I always love the entomology bits!
Thank you and cheers from Cobourg Ontario!
Our pleasure!
Thanks, this is the only kind of fly fishing I can do. I am unable to do creek, unable to walk the waters anymore.
One of the best presentations I have seen, regards from Wales.
Except tapered leaders are for river fishing. In BC we use straight fluorocarbon for our leaders. 8 lb leader to a swivel and 6 lb tippet
loved this, many techniques covered here are apart of my stillwater bag already!
Thanks Phil and Tom, great series! So much great info!
Thank you so much Phil and of course Tom , Im just starting to get into stillwater fly fishing in deep clear water reservoirs and these shows are really answering all of my questions. Thanks Steve
Terrific amount of information. Great video and VERY helpful. Will watch this again.
What a great presentation Phil!! Thanks for that 👊
I would love to see how you sort your flies for lakes. Whether you use foam slit boxes or trays with compartments and the pros and cons of each. I often find I have so many boxes and wonder if compartment boxes with flower of different types just stores on a 1.5x1.5 compartment would be better?
Excellent video. Straight to the point.
A wonderful guide thanks so much. I predominantly fish straight through buzzer or Chironomid methods. However, there are so many thought provoking methods and techniques here, I will definitely be using them to increase my versatility in approaching Stillwater challenges. Many thanks again and I will be watching this guide over and over.
Great video so full of helpful information and tips that help improve on fish lakes and ponds. Thank you so much for sharing a great video with us all. You guy’s and gals are doing a great job. Hope you never stop. Love what you all are doing and sharing with us. Just remember to keep safe. Tight lines. Best Regards from West Virginia, Ken 🐜🕷🦃
very very nice work on this, Thank you!
Dude, this was great.
Wow that was so informative, great show guys . I will be back to watch more .
Uk anglers tend to use. Booby or fab on the point, nymphs, crunchers, buzzer, (midge) on the middle droppers. With an attractor on the top dropper. Blob or fab. Often the trout will be drawn in by the attractor only to notice and then take the natural. It works for us. Also a team of naturals with a fab or booby on the point. Is effective in conjunction with a floating sink tip or intermediate line. Holds the naturals in the upper layers of the water. With the buoyant point fly doubling as an indicator while the team are static. As even the most gentle take of the natural will effect the buoyant fly. So if the fab speeds up? That’s a fish on the nymph.
Great video gentlemen!
Fantastic instruction!
Awesome video Tom & Phil👍🎣. Wow some many TOP tips 👌🎣
Thanks 👍
Might actually try lake fly fishing now!
Very good info. I use your method for adjusting the bobber to the depth I want. I use a weight with a clip to attach to my bottom fly. Having the level section is something I did not appreciate. No worries about knots making it difficult to slide the bobber over. I would use the thinnest line I could get by with to get the fly down fastest. Kind of a river Euro idea I guess.
awesome stuff. I'll be looking to try some of these tactics on Presque Isle here in Erie!
This is an awesome video and a timely find for me as I'm about to fish my first Colorado reservoir after 40+ years of creek, stream and river fly fishing for trout. However, and I say it in pure jest, Phil is no math major; 25% more than 16 feet is 20 feet! 🤣
Glad it was helpful!
For all your hard work and this is an incredibly good Stillwater video probably especially for people that are new to it. I have a question. When you use the Perfection Loop to add a dropper onto your main line and then it slides down to another not or a swivel. If you're on a bike that requires you know pretty small flies of course you've got he's smaller pound test or smaller-diameter tippet material would you still trust those two not styles with smaller tippet material on the same big fish?
Well Done.🙂
Fantastic video on still water fishing tactics. I feel much more confident in making proper still water presentations. I purchased some of Phil and Brian's flies back in June but never had the the opportunity to fish them but the flies look amazing. The balanced leech & booby patterns look really good.Honestly I was somewhat perplexed as how to fish the balanced leech effectively so for the most part they just sat in my Rowley/Chan still water fly box unfished! I've fished Gordon Ramsey's booby's and emerger booby buzzer\chrominid flies for Bass & Panfish. Boobied emergence buzzers are effective on Stillwaters and streams.Thanks for posting this video tutorial. Brilliant! Cheers!
Me thinks this is basically a primer and there is a lot more to it. Nonetheless, we all have to start somewhere. Thanks Phil and Tom, it's something worth trying especially for us old guys who may not be as steady on their feet as they used to be. Oh yea, and I can take my wife too so she can drown some worms. Keep the good stuff coming.
Great and informative film thank you. Just out of interest was Phil using the 10ft 7weight H3D rod?
Hi I am glad you enjoyed this video. I was using the 10' 6 weight H3F rod.
Cheers, Phil
Where can the rubberized bobber stopper be purchased?
Going to try this out but tweak it a tad, we have 30-40inch redfish down in texas lakes and they are usually 15-20ft down. Always wanted to try to go for them on the fly.
I would recommend it. During the warmer months when it is too hot to target trout I use the same tactics for walleye in 15-25 feet of water with pretty good results.
Cheers, Phil
tom is perfectly camouflaged for that room
At 44:51, I can’t figure out how you’re securing that dropper with the perfection loop. I’ve got my perfection loop with 6-8” to the fly, but how do you secure it from falling down past the swivel and even down off the bottom fly. My perfection loop is as small as I can make it but it’s still big enough to fall off
It is not about getting the loop smaller. You are leaving a step out. You need to run your fly or tag end back through the loop, after your initial wrap to the main line. Envision it as if you are making a snare or lasso around the main line
The host misspoke. At 48:03 he says, “Phytoplankton does not like light. So generally during the daylight hours it descends down...” He meant to say “Zooplankton”, not phytoplankton. Oops.
Thats right...phyto's (plants) like photons.....
Great video! Thank you both! Where can I get those indicator markers? Very informative.
Hi Nicole, glad you enjoyed the video. You can get the rubberized bobber stops at any tackle shop that sells slip bobbers. I get mine at the Fishin Hole, a local shop in my area, thefishinhole.com/index.cfm?action=product&kw=%2FFALCON-TACKLE%2FFALCON-RUBBER-BOBBER-STOPS%2F&se=20459
Cheers, Phil
@@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Thanks!
I wonder if Rowley and Rosenbauer are allowed to fly on the same plane.
hi should you set the hook instantly when indicator bobs or let fish take the fly for few seconds before setting? cheers
Hi Steve, I wouldn't wait for a few seconds. Generally the faster the better as many fish will suck in your fly and spit it out before you even feel a thing.
@@newflyfisher awesome thanks
The bug is in there mouth so set the hook, they do not have hands to take the bug
Hebgen Lake, Montana or Henrys Lake Idaho where you are filming this video
Henrys Lake
Where can someone get that little stopper you added on to your leader at beginning of show?
Domingo they are called slip strike indicators or quick-release indicators and are not easy to find. Here is a link to where you can purchase them from a fly shop: idahofly.com/product/slip-strike-indicator-pack
You can also buy them from Phil directly here: www.stillwaterflyfishingstore.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2
I was talking about the smaller orange color stopper that he slide onto his leader. Not the indicator, sorry for the confusion
@@domingorodriguez4769 Hi they are called bobber stops. You can usually get them from any tackle shop that sells slip bobbers. I get mine locally from the Fishin Hole, thefishinhole.com/index.cfm?action=product&kw=%2FFALCON-TACKLE%2FFALCON-RUBBER-BOBBER-STOPS%2F&se=20459.
Cheers, Phil
What about fishing from the shore of the lakes
techniques shown work from shore as well.
@@newflyfisher thanks
it seems like I'm the only one in my area that does this or to this level
From a physics perspective or structural engineer stand point, I do not see how having a taper will impart a bend or incur additional cantilever strength and prevent straight hang. This seems more of push to create a non substantiated reason to purchase more or different technique specific products
He needs to teach people how to fish from the banks because not everyone has a boat
