    I use a net bag, (salvaged from the salmon farming industry) laced it up and put rocks in it from the shore line, dump it when you done. after 50 years of fishing with regular gear a lot of Zebco reels, I've taken up fly fishing, caught my first trout on the last day of the season, fished bass all summer. Looking forward to spring to keep it going. I need to improve my cast, liked how you threw out line with out touching the water then let it lay out nice like. thats the goal.

    I was a little worried at the start: arriving late; canoeing and portaging after sunset; taking an unplanned and unfamiliar shortcut on the portage; and carrying everything solo in one trip over the portage. Many a trip has gotten into trouble doing just one of those things, and you did all of them in the first 5 minutes! However, ho hum, no worries, no problems, just another trip start. Well done.

  • @jimf1964
    @jimf1964 Před 2 lety +1

    Nice couple days. I see the wooly bugger worked well for you. My fav all time fly, especially on moving water is a stone fly nymph. Dub the thorax with rabbit, hackle for legs and a glued duck quill wing case. The secret to it is the segmented tail section is a rubber band 😉. Use the tension to make a nice taper. The band gives a wonderful segmented appearance and it also gives it plenty of weight. An unbalanced weight which gives it some good motion in the water. The tail or antennae, or whatever they are, can be almost anything. You’ll never find one in a store, but if you dabble in tying, they’re pretty easy to do, and you’ll never regret it. Oh, and as for colours, just look up some photos on line. I usually use a pale green body, dark wing case, and a natural rubber band. Ive caught many many trout, and a beaver dam is a great spot on a trout lake too. Not just for bass.

    you need to get the fish on the reel easier to control and land practice on the smaller ones so when you get the big one it is second nature. All that slackline in the canoe is going to get ya I know lost a very nice fish due to line getting tangled up with my extra paddle
