  • @davidbilbrough3726
    @davidbilbrough3726 Před měsícem

    Many fish are lost through striking too soon-wait until the fish turns over and the line moves - I see it all the time with novices and even once a teacher showing kids how to fish. If the fish drops the fly, try a very slow retrieve. Some times they take viciously! So have some spare line. Do not be in a hurry to re-cast. I use 6ft of 12lb of floating leader (Used mostly for carp fishing) this gives a bit of stretch and does not sink in rough weather. For the tip, 6ft of 8lb fluro with a tucked blood knot to hook. (I use 13lb if fishing reserviors).

  • @kristoferradzinsh4397
    @kristoferradzinsh4397 Před 11 měsíci +3

    Hi Rhys, great video as always! Especially with helping the boy land one. Quick question on the leader for a single dry fly setup. How do you decide between using a tapered leader vs a taper by connecting different leader sizes? Also any tips on when to use co-poly vs fluoro?

    • @RhysFishes
      @RhysFishes  Před 11 měsíci

      You can use either. I didn't have a shop bought tapered leader to hand, so went down the route of making my own.
      Co-poly is great at keeping the flies high but can cause issues when your trying to get the leader closest to the fly to sink, hence why I tend to just revert to fluoro. Less spools to carry around also.

      @RhysFishes  Před 10 měsíci

      If your not used to casting leaders this long, start shorter. So if we were mirroring my tapered leader, just shorter each piece in half or by a third. Once your comfortable at that length after a while, then add an extra foot onto each leader section etc… until you reach the desired length
