Ten Tips for Fly Fishing in Low Clear Water

Very informational video. Just a couple of questions. What tippet retainer are you using? Also, tell me about your chest mounted fly box. Is a special box or a standard box with Velcro? How about doing a gear dump video. I have several different backs and slings but they aren't very organized. All my tippet spools are inside and I usually have to take the pack or sling off to get to them. Same with my boxes. It would be nice to be able to access them more efficiently like your setup appears. Thanks for sharing and keep the videos coming.

Great video excited to see you do some longer format videos with some fishing mixed in. Scratches that itch when I can’t actually go fishing.

Sold,amazing video!!!!subscribe!!!!

Very Help! Low water has always been a challenge for me. I appreciate this session. How I have a better idea how to go after this type of water condition.

Love the video! I don’t utilize switching methods of fishing enough.

Thanks for this Devin! I watched both of the full length videos on euro-nymphing and started using the method last year. I struggled a bit and now, with this video, I know why. We have a lot of skinny water here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I know now that I was probably using too much weight most of the time. I will watch this several more times and then put it to use. Thanks again!

I notice you have both the fishpond and simms waterproof bag, which one do you prefer?

Definitely a video to re-watch a few times, well presented information. Thanks for putting out these quality videos Devin, I’ve definitely improved my euro game and tying after watching your videos.

Great post. Thanks Lance. Hey, we "stillwater" guys are looking forward to a video with some tips on loch style fishing and maybe some info on the "washing line" technique. Really appreciate your teaching techniques.

Outstanding content as usual Devin! Thanks for bringing it!

will watch this one again and again. Nice work Devin! When is the new video "Adaptive ..." coming out? Turns out I have some extra time these days.

How do you have your fly box mounted on your chest like that? That's much easier than digging it out of a pack. I couldn't find what it is at your online shop. Thanks!

There are tips, and then there are TIPS! Thanks Devin.

That heron tip is spot on. I've learned much fishing prowess simply by sitting and watching them. These were all great tips! 👍👊🏼🇺🇸

Excellent!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I really liked the stalking like a heron tip.

Great stuff as always! I'd love to see a video on how you organize you fly boxes at some point. Cheers

Being a professional, like yourself, why are you still not using rubber nets such as Nomad Fishponds, which are commonly known to preserve a fish's natural outside slime coating?

Near to far, back to front, shallow to deep...good approach! I'm guilty of not changing my fly weight enough.
Question: assuming you weren't talking/teaching, how long do you think you'd spend fishing a pool like this one with the rig & weight changes?

Great advice & great video,heron step clothing color & fly selection are spot on,the other advise I'd give is limit your back cast or casting, standing or kneeling if your waving your rod around the fish notice it,they can see a # 22 dry so do the math,tight lines & bent rods 🤟

Anglers like this are what make the sport so great because they're honest and actually share tips that work! This channel is inspiring the content I'm sharing too! Thanks guys 🤙💯

Great video Devin! Always so informative. I’m wondering, is that an Evolution LTX on the T&T Contact and if so, which size? Thanks

That stream is very similar to many of the ones here in southern CO, so your demo is very inspiring. I've been thinking about trying euro nymphing, but figured it wouldn't be of much use on skinny, clear water. Another thing I was wrong about! :)

Great video! As far as the colors where i live you must wear florescent orange vest and hat in the fall and winter in most of our good fishing spots. The conservation officials say that fish can't see different colors. I know they are wrong but what can you do it's hunting season?

Tried this last week and it was very effective. 6 in the net and 2 hooked but lost. Another bonus was I discovered my casting isn't where I need it to be. The tighter surroundings made it very obvious. Thank you Devin, and team, for providing practical and effective information.

It was a very helpful video. Great job and Thank You for sharring it with us. Keep more coming.

Love the video. Great recommendation on working from bottom to top of a run. I have always done the opposite.

Learning so much from you, Devin! Is there an efficient way to carry two rigs, especially since you're traveling on the river?

How do you handle carrying two fly rods like that all day? A lot of places I fish have a lot of vegetation around the stream. Do you have some sort of a fly rod holster or do you hand carry both rods and just leave one on shore? Also, It looks like you have a G4 Bag. How do you like it so far ? Thanks. Great video, I fish this type of water a lot.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing

Great video quality. Thanks

Another great video, I have been using your advice and it has been really paying dividends for me, the first pool/run i fished today I caught 3 Grayling and two Browns, fishing nearer to me first then fishing further away, and changing the weight of the bead during the run, of course in the UK we tend to have high water in autumn and winter, though the rivers are low just now, and its been a damp summer so a lot of the time the rivers have been running high, which has been good for salmon and sea trout, but presents more problems in a bigger river targeting Browns and Grayling, I have all the modern nymphing videos and the adaptive one , plus I have just ordered the new book, thank you for being a great instructor and a inspiration

Great videos and instruction, thank you!

Devin! Great and helpful Vid! Going to purchase the new book! And the last one! May I make a video suggestion? Would you please show us more of the flies and rigs (closeups) as you use them? That would be tremendously helpful. Thank you!!

Love to watch you think your way through a section of the river. This video up leveled my skills a ton. Thanks Devin!

Thanks Devin, great video. What's the advantage of changing flies over using shot, i.e. going from a 2.5 to a 3, then back to a 2.5, over just adding shot above the 2.5 then removing it? Is it just a habit from competition, or are there other reasons? Thank you.

Hey Devin, watching this video again as a refresher for the low clear water we have in NC right now. I am looking into a dry fly/light dry dropper rod to carry alongside my euro rod for situations like this one. I read below that you are using a 9' 4wt here. Any advantage to a 4wt over a 3wt dry fly rod? Is it better for casting long, Spanish style dry fly leaders? I am trying to decide between the two. Thanks for all these videos. Just placed an order from the store and really looking forward to trying the micro leader formula you used in Adaptive Fly Fishing with the Skafars Neon Wax.

great tips, caught my first fish on a dry dropper in really clear water. thanks!
is there any way to tell, absent a rise, if fish are in a shallow section upstream?

Thank you.

what size dry are you using to suspemd the 2mm beadhead

You need a pack goat to carry all that gear..sorry..

Devin, great video! We encourage you to continue with these types of vids!

My biggest lesson from this video is that patience is KING followed very closely by excellent technique and know how. Bravo 🎣🙏

great vid! just rewatched and its just as good as when it came out. Thanks Devin! Super helpful🙏

Excellent! Great information!

I really appreciate your thoughtful videos. These are tips I can implement on high pressure water, not just thin.

By ‘removing the dry’, clip off the dry leaving tag hanging, right?
