After using up saltwater fly fishing in Cornwall in 2015 (2018) after 55 years of typical fishing, I am back out for my very first fly fishing expedition this year intending to capture Bass on Sandeel flies. I discuss where I am with the rod, reel, line, leader, removing basket, and together with the fishing and capturing the fish, discuss the casting and attempting single carrying for the very first time. Capturing fish on a fishing pole is definitely a brand-new experience and excellent enjoyable. The video is based upon my experience to date as a newbie to the sport of saltwater fly fishing.

#saltwaterflyfishing #bassfishing #seabassfishing.
It's all about timing and generating line speed with a nice bit of rhythm thrown in .
Might be able to save the fly for another session if you dip in hot water and give a grooming. I give my line a light stretch before each session and at the end run most of it out in the tide and loosely reel it back on. Saves a few knots. If your hitting the water casting look up at the horizon not down at your target.Great vid
Let's 'blacklist' the company that didn't get back to you.. Another informative video…. Thankyou Rob.
Its worth having a lesson with an instructor.He will show you the best way to cast your set up,rather than you making mistakes all of the time.There are a few reels that come with 4 cartridge type spare spools.Here is just one example.https://www.johnnorris.co.uk/products/airflo-switch-black-cassette-fly-reels.
Hi Rob You can alternate onto your index finger when guiding your line down the rod length it is still quite comfortable & halves the rubbing on your first finger. When you finally hook a good fish just let it take the line from the basket maintaining a slight bend in the rod to get the line on the reel it's no rush to get the fish in on a fly line just relax & enjoy the fight . I definitely got the impression you were enjoying yourself on this little session.Thanks for all your tutorials they have inspired me into bass fishing and now my eldest son has caught his first bass from the shore on lures after seeing my success infact he had three the smallest was his first at 44cm that evening . Do you realise you have got us addicted 😷😂
After hooking a fish and when you have the fish under control with the line trapped under you finger. Utilise this time to wind the line back on your reel. More often than not you can do it in one or two control situations. If the fish needs line this can also use up the loose line. Should the fish run towards you immediately stop this action and strip the line back as normal. With the line back on the reel and fish under control, use this time to adjust your drag. You can of course use you finger to add increased drag on the fish. Personally I always release the drag after landing the fish, re-adjusting on every hook up. As for your sore finger not sure what to say other than; ” Hands that do dishes are as soft as your face with mild green…. ” lol Luv your videos all the best Kev
Awesome to see you have some great success on that fly rod really enjoyed this vid thanks👍well done
Very nice video. In 55 years of flyfishing I have noticed most people putting too much emphasis on the casting part, not saying you did. Most people. Do the least amount of false-casts needed. That 9wt. will handle a whale. Buy less expensive fly reels that you can “palm” so you dont need to spend a ton of money on crazy priced gear. Clean your fly line frequently so it slides better, I use Mucilin. Replacing tippets is a way of life, you will get “wind knots” , nicks or abraided areas on the tippet, no big deal to change. Just my humble opinion. Thanks for a great video, again.
As a beginner myself I saw this useful tip about keeping your thumb at the top of the cork. Has helped with my casting anyway..
Good one Rob, enjoyed it. You cast pretty good for a beginner. As one commentator said a lesson from an instructor and practice will always help. I use hockey stick tape wrapped on my finger for fly line and braid when surfcasting, it's cheap and a roll lasts very long, usually one wrap will do. Try strip setting in salt, two fast strips will set the hook. Lifting the rod as in trout fishing will sometimes pull the hook out and a fly rod does not have the backbone to set hook on a take of a decent size salt water fish. Good luck.
Hi there your’ e doing great with your casting and I really enjoy all your vids. A simple finger guard that I use is just a piece of Marigold kitchen glove cut of the size to give a fairly tight fit on your stripping finger with both ends open, but don’t destroy the misseses good ones eh ha ha ok.cheers for now.
Hi Rob, I've been watching your videos for the last few months.All are very interesting and enlightening (not sure I will ever do 'fly' but who knows).Thanks for sharing your knowledge,skills and valuable input.
We're learning as you're learning, nice one Rob!
Well done my friend!
Not jealous at all. 😉 Not had a bass this year, yet. Was fishing a rock mark a couple of weeks ago, looked very fishy! Not a touch. Local guy turned up with a 6m pole, 6m of line, small hook and a swan shot. Small bit of squid for bait and first drop scored a very nice gilthead bream! Simple is as simple does! My old 6m pole is now coming out of retirement for the next trip! lol
Rob have a look at the Stripee Finger Stripping Guards, they are a great help and offer a lot of protection against the effects of salt water.
Hi Rob, I'm a fly casting instructor and it looks like you are casting very well for a beginner. I assume you have had help. When retrieving keep you rod tip close or even just in the water, this will impart better action to the fly and set the hook more positively.
Great video as always Rob, well done for catching 👍
You need a cassette fly reel mate. 1 reel and 4 spools👍 also dont get an intermediate line because salt water is denser than fresh water so an intermediate line will still float. I reccomend a di3 sinking line. The di3 basically means it will sink 3 inches per second I think it sinks slower than that due to the density of the water mind so dont pay expensive for a line until you've found the right sink rate you like. Airflow velocity lines are ok to get started. And also airflow sight free G3 is one of the best flurocarbon for price buddy! good luck, tight lines and keep up the brilliant videos 👍👍
Also where are you actually fishing buddy it looks a lovely place 👍
Well done, great casting, looked like a great day. You asked for feedback so I’m happy to share what I think to be constructive – please ignore me if you want to!Firstly, all Flyfishers are obsessed with casting distance, but the fish aren’t! Think you did the classic of wade out and chuck it max distance. May well have cast over and spooked several fish closer in. It pays to creep in the water and cover every inch, starting with short dabbles. Second, again to cover max water, you should cast all around you. All casts looked to be at that blue boat. If it’s the tide moving the line your worried about, try adding a “mend” similar to river fly fishing. Thirdly, I retrieve right until the leader is a few inches off the top tip, and lift very slowly, tweaking the line every so often. Amazing how many are caught in the last meter and it’s a real thrill seeing fish attack your life after a long follow! Really good fishing though and respect for your quarry, and thanks for your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you kayak fishing in particular. See you out there!
Very nice video, as always. Concerning playing the fish, (and this is coming from a trout angler) generally always allow the fish to run when it wants by relaxing your pressure on the line, and sometimes the fish will strip all the loose line to the reel. Otherwise, you can play the fish one-handed, gripping the line to the rod handle, whilst frantically reeling in with the other hand. having said all that… The reel is not essential for playing fish! You should try tying some of your own flies, best of luck!!
That's Awesome!!
Nice, something a bit different fly fishing for bass
Well done rob, great video really enjoyable to watch. Are the fly’s clouser minnow?
Hi Rob,Brilliant job there. For sure catching like that will get your confidence up on that Fly gear.It also proves that you don't need hugely expensive Fly rods and reels.Nice one.Steve in Fife.
Hi Rob what a great video! That is my kind of fishing, simple cheap and great fun. I have fished for mackerel with a fly rod from a small boat a couple of times and it was fun with an excellent fight. I want to try it from the beach one day as when I go I have caught a lot of small bass but they are no fun on a conventional beach outfit. I wonder if a fixed spool outfit would do with a bubble float and a fly. Could be good when casting space is limited. Yes I can sort of roll cast but on a windy day it’s a struggle. Any thoughts on this please? Regards Bill
Hi Rob,Well done again on yet another enjoyable video.I love your content as it's always very informative, matter of fact and above all very entertaining to watch. Your enthusiasm and pleasure in catching even small fish is just what angling is all about but is sadly lost on alot anglers nowadays who seem to be obsessed with weights of fish.To answer your question on how much fly line to leave outside your rod tip before recasting, you need to leave about a rod length, so about 9 or 10ft.So when you come to the end of your retrieve with a rod length of fly line remaining, slowly lift your rod allowing any following fish the chance to grap your fly at the very last moment, then recast.In fly fishing we call this technique the hang, it's especially useful when boat fishing but equally so from the shore/bank.I hope this helps, keep up the good work!Tightlines Ash.
Hey from a fly Fisher in new Zealand, to get better line control, reel in all your line so that you dont deal with tangles which could lead to a lost fish.
I think I can answer some of your questions at the end of the video. i noticed where your rod hand was a bit far down towards the reel. If you hold the rod with your thumb up to the top of the handle it will give you more leverage and also allow you to catch the loose line to the reel between your little finger and your third finger, essentially allowing you to level wind it back on to the reel under some tension while still controlling the fish with your trigger finger. This will take a bit of practice. To prevent any messy loops, (at 26.10 mins there is the makings of a disaster hanging on the line) that can suddenly become a ball of knotted line jammed into the bottom ring, which only seems to happen when you hook a big fish, try this; always start your retrieve from right beside the reel, retrieve the loose line through your finger first. This will help eliminate any twists that have formed in the line. One other thing that may help you is to let the butt of the rod rest against your arm when casting and retrieving and especially fighting a fish. This will feel less tiring and also help with double hauling because the rod will be more of an extension of your arm and prevent you from bending your wrist. As for how far you should retrieve before recasting, I would suggest leaving enough line out to load the rod for the next cast, otherwise you will be false casting all day and wear yourself out. If you point the rod at the fly when you retrieve and notice a follow in close, all you have to do is raise the rod slowly to finish the retrieve and still have enough line to load for the next cast if he doesn't take it. I hope this will be of some help to you.
Hi RobEnjoying your new video here…have been fly fishing quite a while. I find good Polaroid sun glasses very helpful
Bass seem very plentiful in Cornwall!….a rarity in Donegal, Ireland I hear….never caught one!
Snowbee reels do spare spools
Nice videa! You're getting there and the main thing is always fishing knowledge, which you have in spadefuls. As rough guide, I'd say a rod length and half of line from the rod tip will let you properly load the rod on the first false cast. At the end of the retrieve, hold the rod high to bring the fly in close – accelerate a little in the last few feet. fish may follow the fly in and take at the last minute, speeding up .a little provokes them to make a decision.. Also, no geting round this – you got to put the time in and really learn the double haul. It'll up your line speed and give you more control.
Just dropped onto your video really enjoyed it I have dabbled with fresh water fly fishing but that looks great fun too
I felt your joy at that first Bass on fly Rob 😁 I was there with you, great video as always. I have added just a couple of points to Sean’s great advice, I hope it may help. 👍🐟🐟 PS A cheap fix for your finger(s) is a roll of waterproof Elastoplast, although I do have a purpose made finger guard. If you do enough your fingers will harden, you can also try loosening the grip on your forefinger as you actually pull the line through which you will naturally do if you do get a very sore/cut finger. That’s from experience 🤣👍
Draw perhaps ten foot of the shooting head in, lift the rod, form a d loop behind you, rollcast out once, false cast once and let the line fly…. Some good roll cast vids on you tube, saves loads of false casting. Likewise double hauling. The orvis series is good as is anything by Joan Wulff or Lefty Kreh
you have a rare teacher's gift – you are very good at helping others learn and have the humility and wisdom to acknowledge when you are also learning
Practicing in a field is good and think a standard way of practice before getting caught up in trees and the bottom losing flies and the likes, tying a bit of bright wool on the end helps you see where it's landing but you just know if you are in the middle of nowhere or on a football field someone will walk by and say have you caught out mate? just remember you don't need your waders on down the local football pitch that's asking for it LOL
RobTry holding your flies in the steam from a kettle after a day out and watch them burst back into life. ( Old trout and salmon flyfishing trick for fur & feather )I'm a local Portholland boy so I love watching your plaice and cod vids. My mate used to dive on spit reef and catch loads of 3/4lb plaice in the 80's.Love your videos and enthusiasm.
Another great Video Rob. Its obvious to see how much you've improved from last year. Most enjoyable.
A most enjoyable video – really enjoyed it thank you!There's a lot of confusing/contradictory terminology about flyline setups. What you are using is a floating (weight-forward?) running line, designed for use with 'shooting heads' (a really confusing term), and the 'head' which you are 'shooting' is a polyleader (another confusing term). Nothing wrong with that system, indeed it's one of the best, because you can easily put other polyleaders on (floating, intermediate, different sink rate, etc) to suit the fishing conditions, without the need for a different fly line or another spool.I don't think you need worry about how much line to draw in before recasting – it varies depending on the weight of your fly, on the prevailing wind conditions, and other variables. You seem to be doing fine.Your tippet system is interesting. Each to their own of course, but I don't reckon you'll stick with it for long.To get 'onto the reel', simply leave your right hand finger holding the line where it is, while reeling in carefully with your left hand. Make sure you maintain the pressure on the fish and be prepared to break off from reeling in and resume 'hand-lining' if needed – it's more important to control your fish than to get it onto the drag (unless it's a monster).Re the haul – think of it more as a 'rear haul' and 'forward haul' rather than a single or double. Your cast looks good to me – in my experience people (particularly the less experienced) worry too much about their cast anyway. Being able to read the water and find fish (which you've done really well) is much more important than casting excellence.
Perhaps during the Autumn and warmer Winter months, why not have a go for Pike? 9# rod with intermediate line, a shorter 1 metre flourocarbon leader and 12-18″ of RIO toothy critter wire to a snap connector then Pike fly (Budgie) and good for practicing double haul. By next Spring and Summer you will come back to saltwater fighting fit. Greys do a cartridge reel that comes with extra spools, perfect for you
Ross makes very good reels for a reasonable price, extra spools available.
Try a shorter shooting head, you have just about everything else figured out. Welcome to your new addiction! Great video.
Hard to believe you have only just started fly casting Rob, you are obviously a natural! enjoyable video as always!
Great to see a fishing channel that celebrates the simple pleasures of shore-based and inshore fishing for a feed or just enjoyment. What a breath of fresh air!
HI. I haven't read all the other comments, but, to answer your question, I suggest strip in until the end of the shooting head is about 5 ft into the rod. The important thing then – needs practise – is a roll cast. Slowly, but not too slowly, bring the rod up to just behind vertical, not allowing any line to slip through your left hand. This allows a loop to form below the rod tip. When the loop is about 6/8 ft in front of you, punch the rod forward, aiming above the water, still holding the line tight in your left hand. Before the line lands, go into your normal back cast, pause, punch forward and the whole line should go out. Practise with shorter lengths of line and timing. Believe me, you will only need one false back cast. Good luck!
Getting the fish on the reel is very simple. Pinch the line against the rod with your rod hand, keeping tension with the fish. Then reel in the line with your reel hand. If you are dextrious enough you can use your spare fingers on your rod hand to help feed the line onto the reel. A big fish will also strip line which actually helps get it onto the reel.
Quality video as always mate.from a kent bass angler.Get a pair of polarised sunglasses…essential kit.once you load up on a double haul youll notice the rod load up and the line will shoot.I started like you single hauling then progressed to double.Youre a natural mate good job.
Would a 9ft6 7/8# fly rod and a 7/8wt reel work aswell
You dont have to change reels or even spools – just change the shooting head. If if is on a loop to the running line then it is same principle as your leader change-over. You need a wallet to store them. Much cheaper than spools or reels, probably just as fast to do.
You should try loop connections and loop knots. I switch lines fairly quickly and also tippit when it gets too short so I don't have to cut away from the leader.
Your tippet size (x) should be determined by the fly size. Divide the size fly by 3 or 4. Size 6 fly use 2x tippet. Also, it looks like you need to pause in the back swing a little bit to “load” the rod better. Remember to put the fly in your finger after every cast, automatically. Really enjoyed the video!
Bass on the fly best fun ever!
if you draw your rod back and to the right of you at the same time, when your finishing your retrieve, you will still allow the fly to work but at the same time leave enough line out to re cast. its a real pain when you can't re cast because theres not enough weight forward of your rod, its all practice mate, but from what i can see your doing fine. Don't panic too much about reel drag, play your fish the way you are already, Running through your finger. ive not lost many trout this way. your single Hauling is fine, double Hauling is just pulling on the forward cast as on the back cast, Which you can do already. i could show you better than telling you, plus a few more little tricks to make life easier, but im in Devon, i will be down in august though so may see you around, if i do, i'll say hello. Allthe Best mate, tight lines.
You can buy an okuma airframe reel. Size 7/9wt. Salt water resistant as it’s sealed drag. Very cheap and very very good. Hope this helps. Tight lines
Rob, great vid. Sinking line with floating fly can do the trick also, with less chance of snaggs. Recommend a lamson fly reel. The liquid or remix. They come as a pack with spare spools. Also, before starting to fish, strech the fly line. The first 10 to 15 meters. This will reduce those annoying coils. More distance, straight streching of line when landing and more direct contact with the business end. Cheers
When you get to the shooting head, keep your rod low and draw it behind you then lift up into a roll cast and start your next cast.
also i don't like using a stripping basket, but collect the line in my hand and then cast.
seems your casting is good, just keep fishing your get better great video thanks
keep your loop sizes a lot smaller,it will hinge less
When i fish with a shooting head line :I bring the shooting in to my finger tips….roll cast so that I get the poly leader out and straight and then back cast let the shooting head out double haul and shoot the line. That should get you an easy 100ft. Ps dont do more than 2 false casts as it will kill the cast. ( once the shooting head is out the running line cant support the weight of the shooting and you will hit the water on the front and back cast.) Shooting heads are different to the traditional lines.
my advise with fly reels would be get the akuma airfrome , had mine since 2009 for saltwater , pike fly fishing and they are fantastic , apart from the little pin it is 100 per cent salt water proof.
Superb video, I’m keen to try saltwater fly fishing for bass but we don’t get the clear water too often up here in Blackpool and that will really hamper visibility for the fish , but I’ll try anyway . Only just discovered your channel a couple of days back and I’m “hooked”
Rob. You can certainly cast far enough to give fly fishing for carp a try. Just ask the lake manager for permission first as not every carp fishery appreciates ‘fluff chuckers’. Stay safe and tight lines
Good video, I watched the first one also. You seem to have the basics in place which is good. Fly fishing is a art so not everyone's cup of tea. Like most types of fishing you will find the quality of your set up can make a huge difference to your success. The rod you have is a good entry level rod. The reel is pretty irrelevant as it's only a means to storing your line. Unless you fish like the Americans do. They always reel fish in. It can take some time to master fly fishing. I would recommend you invest in a scientific angler line or a Orvis line. They are pretty much the best lines available. It will make a huge difference to your casting. Also recommend nothing more than a 5 weight rod and line for mullet. I would also get rid of the poly leader and connect your leader to your main line using a braided loop. The less knots you have the better the turn over and presentation of the fly. This will be very important when fishing for mullet. I have fished saltwater competition in St Mawes. It was good fun and they also have workshops and talks from very experienced saltwater fly fishermen and women. When starting out fly fishing it's important to get good advice. I also live in Cornwall and I'm happy to show you a couple of good spots for mullet. Practice makes perfect !
Another thing I forgot to mention to you is that living in St Mawes is a gentleman named Derek Aunger. He is regarded as the best fly fisherman in the country. I have seen him in action and he is a master fly fisherman. He used to do tuition, not sure if he still does. But he's definitely worth speaking to if you can.
best vido ever
I'm loving your videos. I live very near the beach in what some call the mecca of bass fishing, the copper coast in Ireland. I've been unsuccessful with lures because I'm quite impatient but I've fished for trout on flies for decades and you've given me the encouragement to get out shortly and give it a go. Thanks..
Great video and great to see you fly fishing for the bass. They great fun on the fly, just regrading the reel. You can get a great airflo one that come with intergangable cassette and is brilliant as you can change your lines every time and is for saltwater. I use one myself for bass. The Airflo Switch Pro reel. I have a good contact in Airflo if you want to order or contact them directly. Tight lines. Great video.
Nice to see a fella take up the fly 👍 I do various types of fishing , but if I think it can be done with a fly rod that's what I choose , it doesn't get any better than catching on the fly .
Nice video, what harness are you using. Re reel I use the Okuma fly reel it is saltwater proof and spare spools are readily available.
Really enjoyable to watch Rob and thanks.I came across an Angler 2 Years ago using a very similar method while I was beach fishing in the Mersey Estuary!Once one of the most polluted rivers in Europe is now home to many species such is the comprehensive clean up over the last 30 years.He too ,had one or two schoolies on a sandeel pattern fly.Brilliant to watch,I was intrigued!
I always use a roll cast pick up for most of my fishing. You can work the fly nearly to your feet. ( If you get one close in you have to strike forward! ) Once you've done your roll cast go straight back into a couple of overhead casts and the line will shoot out as long as you keep tension. Slack line is the enemy. Slipping line when the rod should be loading will kill any distance.
You really don’t need a finger guard! Use surgical spirits and wipe onto your finger, this will harden your skin and you won’t get any blisters.
Great video 🙂
Thanks for this really useful information. I fly fish but have just bought a saltwater kit and aiming to give it a go soon. Off to your next vid!
Hi Rob , interesting video thanks for tips. I am a fly fisherman of many years but very little experience of sea fishing. I had a week in south devon back in July and fly fished an estuary for a couple of hours on an incoming tide bright sunshine and a north easterly down the estuary , I had great fun catching 8 bass and missing a few in crystal clear water. I fished the next day same area , same part of tide , but wind had done a 180 shift and was blowing lots of weed up the estuary and it was overcast, I never had a single take ☹️. Can I assume this was down to wind change , perhaps barometric pressure ( I didn’t check) , any thoughts on this ? Steve
Try it on the kayak
What's happened to the fly fishing? This is my ultimate goal as an avid trout fisherman and bait fisherman, the lures are just a stop-gap for bass on the fly as I follow the example of guys like you!
For those interested a new saltwater fly fishing video is out (28/09/20) titled: Saltwater Fly Fishing for Bass & A Casting Method That Works for Me – No False Casting. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/dYixHGU8d9Q
Brilliant, thanks! Next summer I'm hoping to head to the estuaries around the SW to attempt bass (or anything!) on the fly from a paddleboard… could be interesting!
Hi Rob, nice video! Advice on double hauling, this video has helped me a lot to learn and practice it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5tIbK6xcjI
Great video. You'll definitely need the head outside the top ring to load the rod enough to cast. I usually bring the line to about 2m of the top of the rod then start casting with either single or double haul until the head is about 2 ft out of the rod. With the shooting head I use that seems to be the sweet spot. With getting line on the reel when playing a fish. It can be a fiddle but you need to get the line coming out of the reel over your little finger at the bottom of the handle (right hand)(whilst holding the fish with your index finger of the same hand) then quickly reel the line on with you left (non handle) hand.
Like you rob I’m a lifelong angler, been fishing since I was 10 years old, I’ve just turned 58, fishing keeps me in touch with my boyhood, and my wife and I love fish, and cooking it. She makes a gorgeous fish florentine using black bream. Love your vids mate.
What I do Rob, is play the fish with the fly line through your forefinger of your rod holding hand, as you’re doing, but then I just use my pinkie of the same hand, to hook around the fly line to act as a guide and some tension as I quickly wind fly line onto the reel. It’s always my first response is to get the fish on the reel, whether flying fishing for bass or trout, it works for me.
With any fly line you can fish right to your feet – or the end of the rod – leave a little fly line out obviously but you will soon get it together. It's a rhythm thing – when there's only a few feet of line out just pick it up in one movement straight into the back cast as you would with any length of line (up to around 10yards). Stop at 1 o clock (psychologically think 12 o clock when you are starting out) and false cast forward letting some line out in the cast. These false casts will lengthen in frequency as the line lengthens and the rest you seem to know – just go for it – you need to get line out so you will! There are other useful techniques including a roll cast into the next cast – look it up – but be careful with big old saltwater hooks – do not roll it back into your face! Great video – I have decades of success fly fishing rivers but am new to bass fishing. Any tips on catching from the S. Coast in April?
Hiya ,,Great videos , enjoying them muchly,,,, id say that line is a weight forward, WF , shooting heads in my experience since the 1970 s were lengths of heavy sinking line attached to a running line of heavy nylon developed when large reservoir fishing for rainbows was the new thing ,,,, look up Bob Church ..pioneer on large waters .
