Summer Dry Fly Fishing Appalachian Small Streams

After a month of editing, it was time to get back up to the mountains. I hit my 2 guide buddies up at Due South Outfitters, packed the car and headed to Boone. We spent a couple of days exploring new water, fishing dry flys and spending as much time as we could outside. It was an epic couple of days and exactly the break I needed.

If you're in the Boone, NC area, make sure to swing by the Due South Outfitters shop.

Lol, I never thought I'd hear in a fly fishing video.

Between you and Tight Loops y'all have really pushed a huge revolution in fly fishing media imo. Before it was just flylords, and now there's all these awesome independent cinematic fly fishing channels. I wish I had more people around to film fly fishing with hahaha.

Hey I hope you can feature Paco again in videos. I am impressed with his fishing knowledge and pleasant demeanor. He knows a lot for a college guy. APP State Class of '83. In the old days I could drive 10 minutes from Bowie and whack the heck out of rainbows on a nymph. I introduced a lot of guys to the fly rod, but I never showed them that creek.

Huge fly fisherman and wildfly in one morning, doesn’t get any better then that.

It would be nice if you and the guys would talk about the setups that y’all are fishing and why. I couldn’t make out everything. Beautiful video.

Please keep the content with due south boys coming, we need another series with them! These videos are so relatable and the content is amazing. Keep it up 👊🏻

Just met Paco the other day in the shop! The only fly shop I go to in Boone 🤙🏼 also have fished that stretch of the eagle a bunch when I lived out there

Man that part starting at 18:00 was beautiful with the soundtrack you chose, thanks for reminding me that sometimes catching the small guys is important. Well done boys

Welcome back home to the Carolinas. Glad to see you sure still hanging with the guys at Doe South Outfitters. Nice video thanks.

[thomaswaldron]

I hope that you have a good trip in Colorado. We are getting blasted by the heat right now and, hopefully the rivers cool down and are safe to fish sometime soon. Great to see another video.

Awesome vid guys! I love dry fly fishing! Its cool you guys are fishing small creeks like this. The small creek trout are beautiful and no less fulfilling. Where i live in upstate NY those kind of creeks would have beautiful native brookies. Some of our creeks do have browns and rainbows though too. Love the Ausable river! Amazing dry fly fishing there! Good nymph and streamer fishing there too. Every type of water on the Ausable! I was also fortunate enough to meet Fran Betters when i was up there learning to fly fish as a kid with my uncle. My very first time up there i was using his famous ausable wulff dry fly, he gave me to try and i caught my first dry fly fish (16"brown trout). After that i was hooked! Videos like this make you want to get back out there and fish! Simplicity and being one with nature! Fish on!

The filming and editing on all your videos is insane!! Keep em coming

loved watching this; really took me back to a time over 50 years ago, fishing in a small creek in the hills above, of all places, SILICON VALLEY. Yup, native Rainbow Trout. Keep them coming guys...cheers, rr Normandy, France .

I just got into fly fishing this last fathers day and I'm hooked! I loved this video, the filming and just the all around vibe you guys all had. I'm stoked to get into this journey and catch some beauties! Thanks for the amazing vibes and looking forward to the next trip!
