These Flies Will Catch Fish & Save You $$$ (Fly Fishing for Trout)

Things that I recommend for fly fishing:

Fly fishing for trout, fly fishing for Cutthroat in the Pacific Northwest has been a passion of mine for the last 40 years. I have spent most of my life fly fishing the great Pacific Northwest to include fly fishing in Alaska, fly fishing in Washington, fly fishing in Oregon, fly fishing in Idaho and fly fishing in Montana. I generally will fly fish and practice catch and release when fly fishing for trout, but I have been known to catch and cook during camping trips to many of my favorite fishing spots. I love to fly fish lakes in the higher elevation, though I have a few lowland lakes that are fly fishing only that are also on my most favorite list. I have a ton experience fly fishing rivers for trout and always enjoy discovering new rivers to fly fishing in and around the greater Pacific Northwest. I am also an accomplished at casting a fly rod - whether it is fly fishing casting for distance, fly fishing casting for accuracy, the double haul, roll cast, tower cast and many more fly fishing casting techniques - I can show you the basics when it comes to casting a fly rod. I also will cover many topics that relate to getting started with fly fishing. From your basic fly fishing setups, flies and fly boxes - we cover all the fly fishing needs for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to tune into FlyFishDan and I hope you consider subscribing to my fly fishing channel. Cheers and FISH-ON!!!

It is Friday now. Beer with Dan. Great fly shop. Thanks for sharing on flies.

[daveschlom]

Just about every fly I checked on was sold out. That is a solid job of promoting! I shall return and try again in a few weeks...

[TheRedneckjim]

Yes! The leech is also my favorite! Has always worked for me and even got me into fly tying too!

[flyguy]

Some nice confidence flies there Dan, some favorites of mine are the chubby Chernobyl, bead head hares ear, rs2 or maybe an elk hair caddis.

Great video. Maroon balanced leech under an indicator works for steelhead to. I'm up in bc, your area looks very similar, but you find nicer fish

Thank you for another awesome video! I needed some help with selecting flies and this video really helped me out! Next step on to Red’s fly shop.

Yooo
Thanks for the link and discount code FFD!!

[charlieboutin]

Thanks for sharing your favorites Dan! I definitely have my “go-to” confidence flies also..for whatever I may be fishing for. Many are guide flies, I figure if they get paid to take people to catch fish, they’re probably not going to use sucky flies.😂 I do make my adaptations to fit my own needs and situations..but after you catch a few lunkers, there’s nothing else needed to convince you. 🙂 Good to see your channel growing! Have a great weekend and Fish On big Dan! 🎣👍👌✌️

[JordanWoodwerx]

Hi Dan, love your content and those flies from Jordan are top notch! He’s pretty much the only guy I buy from. Thanks!

[nickpappas]

Yooo always a good day when you upload! When you were fishin that sculpin pattern were you at rock creek in Mt?!

[williamcooke]

Out of respect for you, Dan, I pulled out a Bodhizafa, cheers! Later, I'll fire up a Montecristo in your honor. Thanks for the peek into your fly box, as well as a way to save on quality flies!

[jonathongrajales]

same coffee in hand waiting to get to the grind. I use an Olive Wooley Bugger for my confidence fly. Did have a question real quick, I want to get into fly tying what kits would you recommend or should I buy it by piece. If so what pieces should I get.
Thanks so much for your time!
Still amazing content!!!!

Asked similar question in another video...what's your leader and line setup for the balanced leech? Thanks!

[nathanlasha]

No mention of chironomids? So many of your videos highlight those, I would have guessed they would have been toward the top of your list (as they are mine)! Great video!

[bobconley]

That balance leach looks sorta like my confidence fly-TJ hooker. Used same all day, on my Euro rod, on the yak 2 days ago.

These thoughts and five bucks should be enough for a foo-foo coffee or a half six-pack of microbrew... confidence flies change over the seasons if you do this long enough. A couple of years ago I would not have thought to leave off a flashback pheasant tail nymph (probably as a tail-gunner to a Pat's or under a dry); neither nymph has seen much time on my rod this year and last, as I've found "new" confidence patterns that seem to outperform the legacy stuff. Same goes for dry fly patterns. Unrelated, this morning I fished a couple of hours I tried my first sculpzilla pattern (my shop was out of my "confidence streamer") ; the weighted head 'zilla is a pain in the @ss to cast a long distance but it caught me a real nice cutthroat 🙃
