Tied something to mimic the smelt. Caught a few of these guys, this one being the biggest. Vid coming soon.

I recently attended a Fly Fishin film festival, and got inspired to take a crack at it and create a short vid. It's a rough sketch but hope you enjoy it.

Nice to see some fly action on here. Really enjoyed the video and love that area. I need to get a nice camera rig and a new shoulder. Or learn to cast right handed!

Cool video! Nice job man. Were you using a full sinking line? I've messed around a bit with the fly rod but never been very successful. Thanks!

Thanks corpsmanusn2001! Sinking line Yes. Especially if it's pretty deep. Although this water was pretty shallow but I still use it, just have to strip line fast enough to avoid snagging any eel grass. Now wipe the dust off your fly rod and get out there!

Very nice vid. Thanks for taking the time to share

Me too. Corpsman, I'd be glad to meet up and show you the basics. You get two free jokes when I f up while casting wrong handed!

Thanks! I might take you up on that! I need to dig in and not give up on it. I'm pretty comfortable casting and stripping etc. I just haven't put a lot of effort into it yet. Plus the fly selection is endless. Can you recommend any? Or do you tie your own? I have a few steamers that I messed around with last year before I tossed the rod into the rafters. Lol.

Hey corpsmanusn2001, happy to take you out as well! I tie my own and know a few spots we could go and piss some spotties off.

[corpsmanusn2001]

Sweet! I'll hit you guys up when I get some free time. And when I pull that rod outta the rafters...haha
