How to Find Fish in Deep Water: Fly Fishing Pools | Ep. 127

Untangled: Fly Fishing For Everyone | Ventures Fly Co.

Pools - the slow, deep sections in a river - always look so inviting! They're so deep and mysterious, they've just GOTTA hold tons of fish, right?

Well, they do - but catching fish from these pools ain't always easy. If you're anything like me, you've probably left pools feeling like you could've done better, even if you put a few in the net.

This week on Untangled, you'll learn how to fish pools. The tips and tactics I'm teaching are the same ones I used when guiding, and that we've taught to thousands of anglers here at VFC. I know they're gonna work for you!

You'll also learn about:

  • How long to rest fish before casting to them again, if you've fished or waded through the hole before
  • Using fast clips (or snap swivels) with flies
  • How to tell what weight your fly line is
  • The type of wading boots you need for slippery, tough wading conditions
