Stop Changing Flies — Fix This Instead | Ep. 173

About this episode

What's the real reason fish aren't eating your fly? Is it beause you didn't pick the PERFECT fly? There's a better one in your box, so you oughta spend 10-15 minutes looking for it, right?

No. Not very often will that be the case. Instead, you're most likely not catching fish becasue your fly doesn't look real. Remember, your job is to put flies in front of fish, and make them look real! So today on Untangled, we're taking a deep dive into why presentation matters so much, and some simple tips to improve just how much your fake fly looks like the real thing. 

You'll also learn about: 

  • Why we don't often talk about fishing wet flies and soft hackles here at VFC
  • How to match the right leader size to the right fly size
  • Why it's important to play fish quickly and minimize your handling time
  • Tips for catching brood-stock trout that have been dumped into community ponds
