About this video:
Starting out in fly fishing is overwhelming. You're told you've got to master all sorts of techniques and tactics, and the second you open Instagram, or read any online content, you're bombarded with new things to try! It feels like, if you're not at least dipping your toe in everything, you're quickly falling behind as an angler.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, that mindset is damaging for new anglers. So in today's episode of Untangled, you're going to learn why this isn't the best way to approach things, and some tips for actually leveling up that don't require new gear, or trips to exotic locations.
You'll also learn about:
- Tips for fishing for grass carp, and carp behavior in general
- Fly selection for carp
- Tips on casting with indicators, split shot, or other heavy rigs
- Tips on tying flies and fishing for stocked trout vs wild trout
