This is a neat tip from Jordan Young-Treadway @treadwatersfly on how to tame your Skagit head and sink tip while swapping a fly without reeling in any line at all. If you’re working through a run and want to make sure that you start again at the same distance, this trick lets you easily swap flies without reeling in your line. Without tying off to your rod like Jordan shows here your fly line will float away and tug on your tippet, making swapping flies more difficult. Happy fishing!
Steelhead fishing is our jam, and we’re the bread that gets toasted. #steelhead #DRYFTculture #wadeandexplore #DRYFT #madefortheriver #madetowade
Ethan lost the use of his lower body as a teenager due to a rare medical condition. Facing the very real prospect of not surviving a series of surgeries that could help alleviate his paralysis Ethan has decided to learn to live with the cards life dealt.
Fly fishing has become a saving grace for Ethan as he returns to the water and the sport he loves in this triumphant story.
Please enjoy this short film while considering the strength of the human spirit and the power of positivity that Ethan displays.
