    In dirty water either throw black or firetiger as they stand out better in those conditions. Good luck!

    I own vests [4] waist packs, sling packs, & small chest packs [ FP san juan] . Although for some situations still prefer a vest, hate the sling packs for all the reasons you cited, the waist pack is a pain, so I figured I d try this. You are 100% right. Love it but still fiddling with where to put " everything " . .. Wish they had put hypalon or d rings on the shoulders for nippers etc.

  • @jimking7400
    @jimking7400 Рік тому

    You can keep water in the back pocket by using a camelback water pouch. I use this with the drinking tube on a magnetic catch on the front left shoulder. I dont take extra reels etc but there's room for a sandwich. Great chest pack and I like mine. Only difficulty is putting my fishpond net through the retainer at the back when the back pocket is full, but it's possible with practice!

  • @newsles2
    @newsles2 Рік тому

    No reason why it wouldn't enable you to catch some trout proved you can cast, mend and present fairly decently. My first fly rod was a 9'6" Shakespeare 6/7-weight that was on sale for about $30 in 2009. Caught some nice fish on it. Still use it occasionally although the blank doesn't have great 'feel' so it's fairly useless for things like nymphing. Swinging wets, streamers and even occasionally dry fly fishing, all worked with it though. There is no reason really to spend hundreds on a first fly rod or even a backup. One thing I noticed though on moving here to the US from Britain was that fly fishing gear was very often in the 'exclusive' category price-wise compared to back home where much more budget-friendly options were more widely available. Not necessarily better of course but definiteley less spendy overall. Great little piece. Thanks.

  • @Donny_Juanny
    @Donny_Juanny Рік тому

    Had my first day out with gamechangers flies. I had the exact opposite experience. Fishing from the bank. My first cast ever with a gamechanger landed a bass. Granted most were small, but I continued to have excellent luck with a baby bluegill pattern gamechanger all afternoon. I'm casting them on an 8wt with floating line. Definitely think I'm switching to an intermediate sink tip line going forward.

    I found that a 1.5L lumbar-style hydration bladder fits perfectly in the back portion of this pack- careful with other things not to poke a hole in it, but that's not a problem for me.

  • @Jeff92656
    @Jeff92656 Рік тому

    You can catch monstas on a zebco barbie rod. So I am sure a cheap combo fly set up would work. There is a much needed niche for less expensive beginner setups so you are not investing in a fishing technique you may not enjoy. That being said, when you start building your knowledge of fly fishing and techniques, whether nymphing, streamers or dry fly fishing the more expensive rods offer more sensitivity and feel becomes much more enjoyable to the user. Great content gentlemen
