Victorian Lake Fly Fishing Set Up Explained | Leaders and Flies

Показать описание
A run through of the gear and leaders I have been using so far this winter of fly fishing on the lakes here in Victoria, Australia. Here I construct a straight fluorocarbon leader from scratch, connect it to my fly line and it is so simple!

Gear:
- Cortland MKII 10ft 6 Weight Rod
- Sage 2250 Reel
- Cortland Competition Fast Intermediate Fly Line
- Cortland Ultra Premium Fluorocarbon

Thanks Tom, that's WAY longer between flies than I have been fishing, mine are usually only 2 foot apart, can't wait to try this set up and see if I am more successful

Hi Tom
Wondering if you could show how you tie the surgeons knot in a closer view? Interested in why you put the knot in your mouth as part of the process?

Thank you Tom, that's very helpful. Q: Why do you prefer the intermediate over a floater? is it because it gets the streamers under the surface and fishing straight away? I noticed you seem to fish very fast retrieves. The advice I was given was to mostly use a figure 8 even with streamers? It's worked for me but only sometimes. I have had a lot of trouble with the smelters.

Nice tip Tom thanks for sharing. When casting with this setup do you keep the loops relatively wide/open to prevent tangles?

Bill's confused Tom . . . A fast sinking line is one that sinks quickly (read fast), yes? An intermediate sinking line is one that sinks at an 'intermediate' (read medium?) rate, yes?
Please, what is a fast/intermediate line? Is it a nuancing of the two terms, where the line might be a sinker to the extent that it sinks faster than a 'medium' speed sinking line?
Maybe I should be talking to JB? If that happened, he'd be wanting to 'sell' me one. Nice as JB is, I'd feel bad if I ended up not buying one.

You rarely ever respond to comments or questions though! Not saying your content is not great, but until you start interacting with people your content won't get promoted enough to get you any viewers....just sayin'
