    Thanks for the fly fishing trip. It reminded me of going to Wyoming to fish with my new brother in law nearly forty years ago. Your much better at fly fishing than I was. My brother in law explained to me quickly the fly fishing was for tourists and people in Wyoming fish with worms. We caught some nice trout in small creeks with plain old earth worms. Probably saved him a fly rod.
    Thank you for lifting everyone’s spirits when times are tough.

    I fish the same way when bluegills are on beds, it’s a blast. I had two crazy things happen last year. A 4 pound small mouth on popping bug, and a 22 pound buffalo carp. Had to chase both with trolling motor.

    Back in the 1960's I used a popper similar to that called a Glo Popper, bought at a local store in Paducah, Ky. They did glow alright but on Kentucky Lake they were fantastic all day long. Now I have to get that old Shakespeare Fly Rod out and dust it off. Thank you for the great videos RG!

    Richard, I've followed you since I started fishing and you've been a constant inspiration. My fishing journey has led me to be an avid fly fisherman (although I fish with spinning gear plenty still) but I have to say it makes me so happy to see you using a fly rod! Love the cane rod and telescopic rod videos too. Grateful for you and your passion for fishing, it always makes me happy to watch your videos. Please do another small creek adventure soon!

  • @davidswails8856
    @davidswails8856 Před 4 lety

    Dad and I always used red worms on a long shank hook with our fly rods. We called the thick headed bluegills,”Grillaknots”, and they were a blast to catch! Thanks for bringing back the memory of my father and I spending time together on the water. Stay blessed!!

    I grew up fishing creeks and ponds with ultralight tackle and fly rods. Big shell crackers and bluegill were for eating, and smallmouth were for fighting and releasing. The first rod I bought my wife was a fly rod and we would spend hours with popping bugs and cook fish for our friends and later our kids and friends. Love to see you changing it up and bringing back old memories.
    It’s so nice to watch a channel where your not a fishing snob. A real fisherman likes the challenge of catching all species of fish. Thanks Richard.

    Thanks Richard for the fly trip! My dad used to trout fish in North Georgia using worms and corn but on a fly rod because of the reach. A friend took me last fall to a trophy stream, showed me some basics and turned me loose. Like most fishermen I came home and bought an Orvis combo. Going to get after some bluegill. I appreciate the videos and your testimony. God's blessings

  • @subaquaticsleepwalker7240

    It’s so good to see another fisherman having fun I just love your videos man. I mostly bottom fish for catfish and carp now but I grew up on the Stockton delta bank fishing for stripper and sturgeon. At a certain point I started float tubing with a nine foot nine weight fly Rod and those stripper would tow me around while I reeled them in that was fun. Watching you fish with light line made me go get a light spinning Rod and that is a lot of fun after years of heavy ugly stiks for cats. Fishing is where I feel close to nature. I’m an OTR Trucker and I keep a Rod in the truck so I’m always ready just pick up a day license and go. Thank you for these videos.

  • @kevinsmith5449

    Hey Richard! Love seeing you use the long rod to catch bream! The popper-dropper combination has been my favorite for years and is a slayer here in Louisiana. Keep practicing and you'll catch a bunch with that long rod! Thanks for the video. I love going fishing (virtually) with you when I can't be out on the water!

    @charlesronk2989 Před 6 měsíci +1

    That is my 89 year old dads favorite fishing. Every May I take a week off work when the spawn starts. I take my dad fishing every day. We have never used tippers and leaders. We use 10lb mono. It helps float the spiders better and will rip them off lily pads and reeds without breakin. It doesn't seem to effect the fish any. We use Betts black sponge spiders. When we hit it right. We catch between 100-200 Big Bluegills each day. We only keep 6 a day and no more than 3 off one set of beds.Also won't keep anything over 9.5 inches.

    I've fly-fished for bream for 50 years. I like using the rig you did today but still like the popper alone. I've started fishing out of a kayak which really changes your presentations. I've had to work on my roll casting for narrow creeks. There is nothing like catching a Smalley on a light tackle. From Pickwick Lake, have a good day..
