It’s a great fishing plant form and i am a 5’6 140 lbs girl. I can load it and get it to the water by myself. That’s not as easy as you would think being there isn’t a lot of real fishing information for women. I can do it but my strength and process are different because I’m built different so i appreciate this boat…I have 2 other very nice inflatables and their is no comparison. It’s a great boat

    • @Gigharborflyshop
      @Gigharborflyshop 10 дней назад

      40’ cast - deadly accurate. 60’ cast - this rod loves to play in the 40-60’ range. 80’ cast - very few anglers can actually cast this distance in a real fishing situation.

    I fished Christmas Island for 10 days in 1995. We saw no triggerfish and none of the guides or Big Eddy made any mention of fishing for them. What has changed since then? The human population on the island was much lower then and I think the population of bonefish was much greater.

    • @Gigharborflyshop
      @Gigharborflyshop 14 дней назад

      The population has definitely changed, probably doubled or more. I specifically wanted to fish for triggers so I asked to take us to flats that had them. Not all flats have them and some of the flats with more numerous bonefish don't have as many triggers. If you interested in going back, we'd love for you to join us. gigharborflyshop.com/hosted-travel/christmas-island/

    I love the topic amazing guest. I’m from Chilliwack BC. The Chilliwack system is a great steelhead system as well as the other 4 salmon species and Bull trout. Just landed my first steelhead on the fly may 31st of this year. The great thing about may is the system is fly fishing only for that month. Hint hint. The Coquahalla river is fly only from July until October in the upper section of that river. I’ve found that the more I fish the more I want to fish systems that aren’t as popular. When you have success it’s even more gratifying.

    • @Gigharborflyshop
      @Gigharborflyshop 2 месяца назад

      if you're using a 6+ weight rod there will likely be a second stripping guide. You can also attach the fly to that instead of the lower stripping guide. I never use the fly keeper, they are worthless in my opinion.

    • @Gigharborflyshop
      @Gigharborflyshop 2 месяца назад

      I never tie to the loop of the fly line. The leader material will cut through the plastic of the loop. The core of the line should still be intact which provides the majority of breaking strength though. But I try to keep my loops clean and tidy. If the loop is wide and hanging up on the guides, it might be looped on incorrectly. The proper way to loop on the leader is to pass the leader loop over the fly line and then thread the tip of the leader through the loop of the fly line, then when you pull down it will make a double symmetrical loop that kind of looks like a figure eight right before it pulls tight. The loop of the leader should be pulling on both sides of the loop of the fly line equally. I hope that makes sense. It's simple, yet complicated to explain with words! haha

    • @dfoster9007
      @dfoster9007 2 месяца назад

      @@Gigharborflyshop Yes I am using the second guide; if your leader/tippet is more than 2x the distance from the back of the reel and that second guide, the leader to fly line loops will be pulled into the upper guides of the top section when you pull the top 2 sections (4 piece rod) down adjacent to the bottom 2. So for example on my orvis 8"6" rod, that distance is 3'6". So if the leader and tippet is greater than 2x that ( or 7 feet) the loops get pulled in. I have a 9' leader so the loops get pulled din by 2 feet.

    I bought this kit from you guys yesterday and it doesn't have the pink chenille in it. I guess I have to wait to get that to make some of them.

    I’ve never been fly fish so I’ve never used them. But I got started making flys when I was in HS 40yrs ago because my dad liked fly fishing. I made flys for him. Have always found it a relaxing hobby. Liked to occasionally make variations. changing the shape or color. Some worked some failed. But I enjoyed it, & he didn’t mind trying them out.

    Fly rods don't fit in those metal tubes not to mention they will scrap the finish off of your reel. A plastic tube designed for fly rods would be a better option. Those racks and buckets are very pricey.
