Nice one I love canoe fishing, and I recently picked up some flies to try at the local trout pond. This technique looks very pleasant and relaxing compared to cast and retrieve. Paddle a bit, drift a bit, let the flies do their thing! Nice.
Thanks for watching and good luck with your new flies!
Hoping that your outings have been quality time soaking flies and your stuff out there on your local waters! You put it well... let the flies do their thing. Stretch occasionally, stand up and see how much water you can cover standing, recline when seated sometimes for another strectch from kneeling, but when this method shines/produces is when the fly is out, you're on your knees, and the paddle doesn't leave the water... PEACE
What a great tutorial. This guy knows his stuff!!! True pro!!!
Thanks, Richard!
You are like the young man and the sea. I've been fly-fishing for 40 years and you are experienced! Thanks and Happy New Year!
Good, instructional video...thank you. I'm in the process of outfitting my canoe for a local harbor here in Southern California and trolling for mackerel and whatever grabs a fly.
Sounds awesome, and would love to get a drone's-eye view of the (in my imagination) schools of mackerel following the bait that are following your fly behind your canoe before a steelhead comes out of nowhere and explodes on your might-be-a-shrimp-might-be-a-minnow pattern!! Surf perch, barred, redtail or otherwise, or a rockfish, or a corbina... As for around midcoast Maine, white perch is always the suprise catch for me, because if they were any bigger, I swear nobody would fish for anything else, or go swimming... Thank you for your interst, John, and for showing the technique off in your community!!
Meet Sheth today at the MaineSport store . Needed a new reel ( long story ) . Great guy and it’s so nice to buy a product from someone who knows his products and loves to fish as much as I do . Thanks for telling me about these videos and our great conversations . I will passing along these series of fishing gear and ideas for our area . Looking forward to your saltwater series for Striper fishing !
Thanks for the conversation Eric! We look forward to seeing you in the shop again soon. Happy fishing!
It's been extremely whirlwind since meeting you, Eric, but when the time's right I hope you'll drop by the shop again if you haven't recently already... much expanded fishing dept., guide service, instruction center type of operation rolling out now and through spring! Thanks again, -Seth
Looking good Seth - can't wait to get back to the store to talk fishing fun.
Thanks Andy, hope you're doing well!
that's backatcha, Andy, and it'll be great to share the water at some point soon hopefully!
Great info....thanks Seth!
Nice one I love canoe fishing
Us too!
Much appreciate the encouragement on the method -- it is really canoe fishing! A spinning rod with a spoon on the end... awesome! A levelwind outfit with lead core and swivels and beads and blades and a minnow threaded onto a hook... awesome. Paddle, paddle, paddle. You are one with the boat and the paddle. They are extensions of you.
We love your videos. Keep up the great work! 👍
Thank you!
Heya, and thanks for the nod! You as well, and thank you for promoting the sport too!
Nice video in a beautiful setting. The Canoe Instructor in me can't resist pointing out that PFD in bottom of boat is of no use in a capsize! Great use of the "Indian stroke" (please, no offence intended) or in more modern terms the "hunter stroke" for quiet paddling.
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Bill! Glad to share about the important stuff... the healing qualities are always great, and sometimes you catch a bunch of jumbos, eh!!
What rod holder did he say he was using?
I don't know, think you'd have better luck trolling behind a bass boat, I mean, you can't even mount a 200 hp Merc' on a canoe. Love it, the whole vid had a Bob Ross vibe.
Paul with the jokes lol. Love it! Also totally agree about the Bob Ross vibe. No fluff, just this is a craft that we love and this is how we do it. Simple, mellow, and to-the-point.
your host here, Paul: couldn't agree more... gonna go big engine style when i grow up! probably going to float tube for Kraken in the next episode; please consider co-hosting -- we'll bring a couple of slower kickers than us, it'll be grand.
Good content from a guy who knows what does and does what he knows.😊 All from a likeable fella, if I were anywhere close, I would paddle a Coleman plastic canoe three miles upwind and upcurrent, to hang out with Seth
your new low impact, sustainable fishery(Offer of low stress levels while on the water, beautiful scenery.) Sign me up for fly trolling from a Nice canoe like yours,BTW you'll need to hook me up with paddle,flyrod and reel, line weight forward please. We have beautiful rivers and lakes in my area(Clemson University) Pristine mountain Lake Keowee(motor exclusion zone)Lake HARTWELL with recreational boating high in popularity andvit boasts over 950 miles of shoreline. Then there is the Chatooga River, which leaving Burrells Ford eases you on little by little, whitewater class one eventially progresses to 2 and3. Next come the 7 steps or small waterfalls, many open canoes either get swamped or rolled.
So, are you running full sinking line?
yes indeed fishing full sinking line this way -- clear intermediate sinking is the most versatile and stealthy!
We'll have to pass by on the water soon
Definitely!
Looks like that might be more true this year than ever, eh, Dan?! The midcoast Pike need some love, so don't forget to pack your chain mail long johns there, sport, and careful when you slide 'em in the cockpit for your grip 'n grin!!
@@anglingscorpiofishing9468 let's do it, big flies, big swimbaits bass pike combo mission!
@@danharden7529 I'm saying, Dan, combo fish type opportunities abound like silly around here... say if that were of interest out there in the world -- jumbo pike day, jumbo lmouth, jumbo smouth, jumbo striper sides, jumbo freshwater stripers w/out stripes on their sides, etc...
@@anglingscorpiofishing9468 ready for it all, let's get some planning on this, I'll be ultra flexible this spring
What canoe is this?
Heya, and thanks for asking about 'er! Old Town Tripper 17'. An iconic canoe for size, design, toughness, lightness, etc... The Discovery 16'9" is probably the closest relative in today's family. Beleive me, these canoes will become an extension of you.
What are you fishing for? Walleye can be a subtle bite.
Anything that is biting!
Thank goodness for the hungry trout, bass and perch in Megunticook -- they smash on the take. Experienced walleye anglers welcome, and would find trolling here a breeze in many respects. The same would go for for any popular technical trolling type fishery... the methods would apply directly. The key forage baitfish is smelt but there are many baitfish, as well as bugs and other goodies, so everything has a place, and did I mention that the resource is healthy and eager for food?! Thanks for checking us out!!
Didn’t catch anything tho.
Should title this " how to troll in a canoe" I didn't see any actual fly fishing that couldn't be accomplished with any style rod. So you know. When people type in the key words that bring up this video.... this is not the information they are looking for.
