Southside FlyFishing

Hi folks. I’ve just posted a video of my early season exploits over on YouTube. If you’re into that kinda thing, I’d love for you to check it out. Link in bio 🙏🏼🎣🐟

It’s hard to beat an urban streamer eat! This hungry brownie annihilated a copper shuggy tied on a size 4 FW550 mini jig hook in the head of a deep pool. I also lost a very respectable trout of about 2lb on a snag; my first dry fly ear of the year (it took a jingler naturally). Having a rod that can handle heavy metal with ease while still excelling at delicate presentations is essential for those of us who like to vary our approach on the river. I’m learning that my new 9ft 4wt Streamflex rod does all that and more 🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Not long now… 🎣🐟

Morning folks, I'm looking for new homes for 3 of my beloved fly rods. A Vision 10ft 3w Nymphomaniac, Vision 7'6ft 5w Glass Trout with Raven reel, and a Redington 9ft 6w Classic Trout rod with a beautiful Run reel. DM me if you or anyone you know might be interested in a bargain to start the season 🎣🐟

This week’s storms left the covered in fresh white snow. It’s too early in the year to contemplate fishing for trout in these mountain streams. But I’ll be back here in a few months with a glass rod and a size 14 jingler 🎣🏔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That's Paul Black Wild Fishing. Give him a follow on YouTube 🤙🏼Yesterday Paul took me fly fishing for pike for the first time. Despite several close calls, I just couldn’t make one of them stick. But seeing the potential of these incredible fish and how willing they are to chase an 8inch fly, it won’t be long before I’m back in the hunt
