- We teamed up with our good friends at Due South Outfitters to put this video together. We spent a day wading and floating on the South Holston River in Tennessee while sharing some guide intel on how to be more successful fishing the tailwaters. We highlight a wide range of tactics so we hope there is something you can take away from the video. A lot of the information is geared towards our technical fisheries in the southeast but can be carried over to any type of water. Enjoy!

Another great video! Scott you’re becoming a master videographer. I get excited every time I get an alert of a new video from you.
Terrific video! Max awesome job at breaking everything down so everyone understands it! Scottie your videos are second to none brother!
Glad to see Due South Outfitters is back and doing ok. Thanks
Dude 6years of fishing that i solve this alone and this video in 22min shows every single thing that i learnd by my self
Awesome video once again! The SoHo is my home water. It’s a beautiful place to fish. Keep em coming!
Another great video! I mainly fish warmer water here in Wisconsin, targeting bass, but all of the same concepts on fishing tailwater still apply. Thank you for putting this together.
I’m just now getting into fly fishing, from not fishing at all. And I love this channel. This is exactly what I want. Can’t wait to have a proper fishing trip
I want to fish with this guy man, seems like a top notch guide! Bet he gets you on mad fish. Love me a fishy guide
slowly reigniting my love of fly fishing with this whole channel
I’m so happy to hear that! Stick with it my man.
@@WildFlyProductions I'm gonna go fish the Teton here soon I'll keep you posted
Nice work again guys. You live in a great part of the world for fishing the fly. Paul (fishing discoveries).
Been using your leader set up here out west. I'll have to admit that I have seen a lot of improvement in connecting and tying into more fish. Thanks guys
I checked the channel during the whole day! Refresh the page, not yet..
Fantastic video again!
Cheers from Hungary!
Excellent tips! Gonna put them to use for sure!
Very informative and your presentation was outstanding. Well done!! Our annual trip to the South Holston is rapidly approaching!
NO THANK YOU! You guys are such a great group and really do make quality content.
Your work is amazing and always informative. Keep up the great videos.
Very helpful video! Love your videos they are so enjoyable and relaxing well edited and makes you want to get out fishing!
Great video. Loved the info and this type of vid. Keep em up
Taht first bit of advice about the tippet, clipping the new leader and placement of the strike indicator maybe the best piece of advice I’ve ever seen on any fly fishing video. I’ve been thinking so much lately about that thick section of leader not sinking and looking at that mess of rope after my strike indicator.bravo!
Everytime I watch one of your videos I end up tying a dozen or so flies and planning out a fly fishing trip. Can't even express how stellar your videos are and how much they inspire myself and so many others. Keep doin what you're doin man! ✌️🎣
Appreciate you Nick. Tight lines boss👊🏻
Great tips boys!! Thanks for sharing
Excellent video and techniques of fly fishing as for me I’ll be using some of those techniques
Oh and yes every time I watch your video I’m ready to go fishing
Great instructions on set ups and fishing tail waters!
Great job Guys! Loved the video. Very instructive, fun and well produced. I always look forward to your videos!
Thanks Scott! We’ve got a lot more in the works🤞🏻
Great teaching content! You guys are eventually gonna have to write a book!
Great pro tips! 🎣 Thank you 🙏
Awesome video and very educational
You deserve more subs man. Your videos are some of the only ones I can watch start to finish.
Thanks dude!
Awesome video!!!!!
I learned so much from this one video.
The leader setup about cutting some of the thick mid section out is money. I owe DS a booked trip just for the free tip. Videos are awesome
Yeah it's a game changer for sure! Hope you get a chance to book a trip with them, they're an awesome group of guys.
Another awesome video Scottie. Thanks for the knowledge and tips Max. Fishing this weekend for me up in CO. I also want to add, I received my decals. (Short Bus Diaries). Thanks again.
Awesome to hear dude! Thanks for getting some decals from us.
Hey man- I really enjoy your content. I’m thinking about starting a channel myself. Keep up the great work. I learn a lot watching your channel.
Great film fellas
Another Great video from you guys! Love the educational tips
Thanks so much!
Really appreciate this video. I loved the "super intimidating comment", touché.
I absolutely loved this video man! I have had these questions for months now! Thank you for making a video on our local tail waters! Keep it up
Glad it was helpful!
WildFlyProductions What exactly does he mean by cutting some off? Like off the end, and towards the thicker part? What’s the reason for that?
Does he put the top fly on a tag?
AWESOME VIDEO FELLAS!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Make a trip up to Maine this fall man! I'll put you on some fish! Really enjoy your editing and filming style and I'd love to learn a thing or two from you to help improve my videos. Keep up the great work!
The quality of your videos is insane
Thanks brother!
Fax!
Every time I watch these vids I wonder what you do for a living and if you are hiring. Your always off doing something fun.
Max took me and my grandson this Sept. on the Watauga caught 25 or so had a great time. I nominate Max got the fast netting olympic team
Use your videos when explaining fly fishing to my buddy who just start.
I can’t speak for every angler but we fish pretty much the same here in the West. I fish streamers and hoppers a lot in the bigger water where the resident fish are tucked close to the banks as well as swinging streamers downstream. Also fish dry/dropper on smaller streams targeting pocket water, bubble lines and in front and behind rocks in mid-current. Very informative video guys. Good job.
No doubt, biggest difference for us is we just use lighter tippet and smaller bugs most of the time.
WildFlyProductions I don’t know if that’s true in all cases. We don’t have Hexagenia mayflies here in the West for instance and we do have a lot of midge activity. Largest conventional dry fly is #16 but usually #18-20 and Subsurface nymphs typically #20-24. You’re right trout seem to be less leader shy from what I remember fishing Eastern waters although there are a lot of very clear tail waters in the West. If it fits through the eye of the hook that’s what I use.
Great video! Curious what length rod you are are using for nymphing?
Great video dude! Now I just need the smoke to clear in No. Calif so I can hit the river. Great tips for big water.
No doubt! Hope you guys are staying safe out that way.
Fantastic video. You just cut years off the learning curve. I would imagine a day on the water with one of the guides at Due South Outfitters is money well spent.
Absolutely!
Nice!!!
How long is your leader that you are tying your tippet on to?
That net...Where do I find that one? I like it.
How long will you fish a new leader before switching it out?
Question, so about your indicator trick, you’re saying if you put indicator on the thick part of your leader the thick line below the indicator is not good presentation, so in return you add tipper and put your indicator at the very end of your tapered leader, before the knot where you connected your tippet to leader? So you have about how long of an actual set up? You’re normal 9 foot leader and then how many extra feet of tippet do you add? Sorry I’m a little confused but think I understand and really want to utilize this trick, so it goes
9ft 5X leader, add a couple feet of tippet, then put your indicator on your normal leader right before the connection knot where your tippet and leader connect ? Above the knot I mean ? Thanks
Cool!
What is the health of that fishery? Seems like every body and their brother in TN, NC, and VA fish the hell out that water.
Not really my own invention as I’m sure many people are doing this, but here’s how I do my leaders:
7.5’ or 9’ 3x leader, with a foot or two of tippet cut off and a trout sized tippet ring added
4x tippet to first fly
5x tippet to dropper
This allows me to break off the rig in stages as the 5x will Break before the 4, and the 4 before the 3, so the leader doesn’t get super gnarled up after one snagged fly.
In spring if I’m fishing with stonefly nymphs like size 10 I do use 2x then 3x and 4x but when the water gets lower I like the smaller tippet.
The 3,4,5 allows me to efficiently fish something like a size 12/14 anchor and a 16/18 dropper. A size 10 anchor is possible on it for sure but you may as well fish 3x on the 2x leader if you can and the fish aren’t as spooky.
A 7.5 3x with a tippet ring on it is a super versatile leader as you could easily snip the nymphs off, put more 3x and fish a hopper/dropper, or put 4x and fish a dry. A fun thing about tippet rings is you can go from 3x to 5x since it’s not an actual knot between the two. I basically use a 7.5 3x for everything other than high water nymphing.
Hopefully this helps someone!
Have you ever gone for steelhead
Great video. Just to confirm, using a new 9ft tapered leader (4 or 5X), snipping off a few feet, then adding 4-5ft or 6X floro tippet?
Yeah but, it’s really all relative to where you’re fishing. 5x & 6x work for us but it may be different where you’re fishing. Also, this isn’t the end all be all way to do it BUT it’s been very effective for us.
Just for reference, how much should you remove?
what month was this?
I don’t even fly fish I just live these videos
I thought I passed you guys on SOHO a week or so ago.
So do you use split shot to get down fast or just the bead head?
We prefer heavier flies. We’ll just tie our midges or nymphs with bigger beads so we don’t have to use split.
@@WildFlyProductions Sweet. Thanks for reply
I've read that you wade a large portion of that river, is that true?
You can on low water
Come down to the White
It's on the list for sure!
Do I go seafoam or biscuit for the Wild Fly hat? Hahah
Both are fire my dude! My personal fav is the seafoam though.
Why the frick was I not subscribed sooner
atodaso
Good video but there are NO bobbers in flyfishing
An indicator is a glorified bobber.
Totally agree. I’ve been an avid fly fisherman for 30 years. That word is a no no amongst purest. I really like your stuff. Keep up good work. I’m from North Carolina. Boone and western North Carolina is home. I get back there as often as I can. My parents went to app state. I’m headed to soho in 3 weeks
.
High sticking looks dumb and at full extension leaves no room for an appropriate set! Keep it up guys i love a good laugh
I've never heard anyone refer to a strike indicator as a "bobber". A bobber is what bait fishermen use.
It’s the same thing. An “indicator” is just a glorified bobber.
Great video! Curious what length rod you guys are using for nymphing?
Bobbers are wack af
