RIO: How to Fish Out of a Flats Boat

In this final episode of RIO’s second season of “How To” videos, RIO sales manager, Zack Dalton talks about “How To Fish Out Of A Flats Boat/Skiff”. In this film Zack explains how to orientate yourself in a flats boat, and how important it is to know the “clock face” directional method that guides around the world use to point out fish. In addition, this film goes over the really important duties and responsibilities an angler has when they are not fishing, and waiting for their turn to get up on the boat and fish.
If you are going on your first trip in a flats boat – for whatever species, this film will make sure you know how to maximize your day in the boat, whether when fishing, or when waiting for your turn.
RIO’s “How To” videos are a series of short films that explain all you need to know to learn a particular way to fish, or cast. Where applicable, each film talks through the gear that you need, shows how to rig the gear, how to read the water, and how to fish that particular technique. These educational films are packed with information and top tips designed to improve the knowledge and skill level of all fly fishers. Each one is bought to you by a RIO employee or a RIO brand ambassador.
