Fly Fishing: Introduction to SWITCH rods

This video serves two purposes -


The first to showcase two new fly patterns, the Pheasant Rump Swing, and the Bucktial Swing. If you are interested in tying along or learning those patterns you can find links to the tutorials below.


Pheasant Rump Swing:    • Fly Tying: Pheasant Rump "Swing"  
Bucktail Swing:    • Bucktail "Swing"  


Secondly, the video ends with my impressions on fishing a Switch Rod - which is a hybrid between strictly overhead rods and two hand rods. These rods are becoming my personal favorite tool for Wade fishing and I hope you stick to the end of the video and see for yourself as to why I enjoy them so much.
