Fulling Mill Fly Fishing: In this video, Signature Tyer Devin Olsen, we filmed over Devin’s shoulder as he fishes different water types throughout a pool. Devin demonstrates how, if you want to get the most out of your time on the water, you have to adapt your trout fishing tactics. Breaking down a river from the tail of a run to the head calls for a methodical approach, and Devin talks about how some pools require different tactics to be successful. From fishing a dry dropper on flats and medium-paced water to fishing a single nymph in technical currents at the head, Devin walks us through his thought process.

 

 

There’s a lot to learn from Devin, as his experienced approach and knowledge of trout behaviour and stream morphology are praiseworthy. So tune in, and put your learnings into practice on the water! Although many of Devin’s fly fishing tips are focused on fishing a micro leader using a Euro Nymphing rod, you can apply many of these tips and tactics when fishing standard fly line. If you’re curious about Euro Nymphing, micro leaders, and Euro dry dropper, please check out the other videos we have filmed with Devin Olsen!
