Fly fishing through California runoff

The original plan was to go swing flies for steelhead, but I misplaced my rain jacked and called an audible. Decided to nymph my local water when the flows were double their normal and see what we could figure out.

    You are using indicator rig upstream in high water and cutting the drift short. That makes it hard to target deep bigger crevices where the bigger fish wait. You are picking up smaller ones that can wait behind a little rock in the shallower water.

    • @driftstone
      @driftstone 5 дней назад

      That's a tough one around Mt. Shasta the wading is all pretty rocky. Hat creek might be your best bet. There are some small streams I could recommend, but you're going to need to find smaller water.

  • @johntuttle9544
    @johntuttle9544 25 дней назад

    I saw you fishing a Frenchie so go to Fly Fish Food and watch the originator tie one up. Super Simple pattern and by changing colors you can really cover them all. Between a Frenchie/Pheasant tail, Walts Worm/Hare's Ear and thread or foil Perdigons and you have 90% of small Euro nymphing covered. All you need is quailty bobbins, whip finisher and scissors I would recommend Loon. After that unfortunately, materials and hooks and tungsten beads start adding up. I good jig hook in 12-16 and some gold slotted beads etc all come in ~$10 packs. So it migth cost $40 for the materials for one style of fly, but you can tie as many as you have hooks and beads and can afford. The per fly cost is very low, but you end up with tons of feathers and dubbing etc. Apparently you already have a vice but don't skimp on tools. Buy good ones and you'll enjoy using them for many years.

    • @driftstone
      @driftstone 5 дней назад

      Ha all very true, we don't really tie because it's cheaper. For me it's about unlimited supply. I can take more risks, loose a fly and not care too much. I can make more when I get home.

    How you liking the non-euro specific 10ft 4wt? I'm looking to follow suit but not sure what make and model I want to go with or go traditional and make euro stuff work or go euro and make traditional stuff work.

    • @driftstone
      @driftstone 5 дней назад

      I hear ya on having to choose a single rod. A euro rod will be softer and probably feel lighter to cast, but it's not super great with fly line. I love my 10ft 4wt recons, it's not a super fast rod, so it can load up a mono rig pretty well.
