RIO Products: How to Master Stillwater Retrieves for Fly Fishing
Updated: Nov 1, 2021
From RIO Products:
"This episode of RIO's "How To" series, is bought to you by RIO ambassador Phil Rowley. In this film Phil talks about the various retrieves that work well when fly fishing in a lake – breaking down the retrieves by length, speed, cadence and the pause between each pull. Phil talks about how to differ the retrieves according to fly style being fished – whether a bait fish pattern or a natural swimming insect.
If you enjoy fly fishing in lakes for trout but don’t have a high success rate, varying your retrieves will drastically change your success, and ensure you catch a lot more fish."
