My YouTube Channel is based on instructional fly tying patterns for my upcoming fishing trips. These trips could be related to cold-water trout fishing, searching for various warm water species, like bass, bluegills, catfish, bowfin, etc., fishing for inshore species in brackish or saltwater, and possible evasive species. These trips could be from a boat, wading, fishing the surf, or more likely from a kayak.
My plan is to also talk about how to fish these flies during these adventures and the fly-fishing equipment like the line weight, is it floating, intermediate, or sinking, the leader that I’m using, etc. in the hopes that I share my learning experience in fly fishing that you will also learn something as well. Feel free to share your point of view or help me along the way as I learn more about fly fishing.
