Brian I’m new to fly fishing this year, it’s been something I’ve been telling myself to do since I was a kid. You have single handedly taught my how to fly fish. Watching your videos I truly feel confident enough to actually do it. I can’t thank you enough. These videos are helpful beyond words.
Love the intro. Never saw colors that looked so smooth but today that changed = smooth like butter 😎. The explanation of looping on and off leaders for nymphing or dry flies was spot on. I truly appreciate and enjoy the way you teach. God bless the work of your hands. Tony
My cuz who is like my son, just took a job at amazon in Columbus. Now I def, have a reason to go there and visit him. Can't wait to stop in at mad rivers.
You could always have two spools set up for your reel. One set up with a nymph line and the other with a floating line. I set this up earlier this year and it is pretty slick (you could say “like butter”). No messing with coiling your leaders to swap them and getting tangled and frustrated. Then you can still get away from the manufactured loops. A little more of an investment but it’s working for me 👍🏼.
Like the new intro , I agree loop to loop is the best option if you only have one rod . Save your money get another rod I always have at least two rods with me . Dries pop pick up your dry rod done ✅ Thanks for the video .
You are a blessing, about to face this dilemma as the River I’m going to gets dry fly action at mid day so a quick switch solution was great! Thank you
You could also carry a 2nd rod that's set up for dries. I use a 3rd hand belt rod holder that's perfect for this situation, especially while wading in the middle of the river. Just a thought.
I swap between flies like this regularly, and keep commonly used bugs pre-tied on the appropriate leader in a rig-keeper for even faster swaps - though I have always used the factory welded loop. The one pain point with this is that the welded loop is not quite big enough to pass big dries and streamers through without smushing them or risking damage to the loop. My (untested) suggestion would be to ensure you tie a big enough loop in that snelled butt section to pass your bigger bugs through if swapping complete rigs - I may just use this method to fix this problem for myself!
Like the new intro, great upload, interesting and informative, many thanks Brian, keep them coming. Any chance of seeing your take on large mayfly tieing?Best regards, Mike. Norfolk 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching. Please send your question to Brian at the shop directly and he'll be happy to help. Email is fine and he should get right back to you.
I was watching a few of your TH-camS and you said you had a chart so you could cut off your loop and add some mono and make a new loop cause I’m wondering where I might find that chart
Can you do a QA video or something on different leaders for different types of fly fishing and elaborate more on how the energy transfers down the line?
Thanks for these tips, Brian. I'm super new to fly-fishing and I have ADHD with my fly selection, just like I have ADHD with my lure selection when I'm fishing with ultralight spinning reels LOL. I think this might be the ticket for me come this summer!
How long should this pre leader piece I call it be round about? I mean the mono part from fly line to the little round ring where you tie your actual leaders on and can change them. I have an issue with finding the right size I think.
What kind of a fly box would you need to store these leaders in, leader for a dry , leader for a nymph, and a steamer ? I like the idea just don't know where you'd put the leader you take off or the leaders you would have with you to change from one the the other.
What line will you use for streamers you said in your last video all there was lying for streamers dry flies and gnats was just curious what size a line that would be for streamers
How do you like the new intro?! Comment below! 🎣
diggin’ it 🤙🏿
Intros make it like a legacy tv show. I'm here for you rather than a snazzy production made in hollywood.
Love it! The butter jumping up the river bank... so good!
New intro is just like butter 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice! It's short too which is always good

I have also carried an extra reel spool with it set up for one or other.
You can switch it pretty quickly and your ready to go 👍
Certainly a good way to go about it as well. Thanks for watching.
The new intro is like butter. Spread it on my toast with a side of bacon and eggs before I go trout fishing.
Thanks.....as you should.

Like the colour co-ordinated hat and shirt! Like butter.
He's a bit particular about the hat matching the outfit. You can't see it but his socks match as well. #likebutter

Thanks for watching and feel free to send any requests over to Brian directly at the shop.
I’ve gotten to the point that I take 2 rods with me. 1 for nymphs and one strung up for drys. It saves me a lot of time and frustration.
Thanks for watching.
Digging the new intro. What's the downside of using a tippet ring in place of the perfection loop?

Thank you! What size mono for the connector & what length? Also, can you still used furled or sink tip leaders with the connector?
Please send those questions over to Brian at the shop and he'll be happy to help. E-mail or call. Thanks.
I'm all about loop 2 loop. Quick n easy. Just keep loops small.

I wanna know why I NEVER find the "cool" hats like Brian is wearing right now when I go to buy one. Iol. And always great info. Thanks Brian.
Brian always gobbles up the cool stuff. Thanks for watching and nice slammers!
What kind of a fly box would you need to store these leaders in, leader for a dry , leader for a nymph, and a steamer ? I like the idea just don't know where you'd put the leader you take off or the leaders you would have with you to change from one the the other.

I just re-watched the "Fix your broken loop" and it mentioned, back in 2018, your book end of the line. How and WHEN can we get it?
Stay tuned and we'll let you know when it's available.
mind blown
Happy to help? Thanks for watching.
Hire a Madriver Outfitters guide and have him carry your nymph rod while you are fishing the dry fly rod
Best idea yet! Thanks for watching.
What size mono should I use on the end of my leader ? Say I’m trying to throw a #8 streamer

Having to switch between drys and subsurface is a great problem to have.
Agreed! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.
Thank you, Brian, old guy here is still being schooled.
Thanks for watching.
Why not fish a dry dropper with the nymph...?
Please send your questions directly to Brian at the shop and he’ll be happy to answer and help. Thanks.
Is that shirt color Butter?
Well yes...it is. Thanks for asking.

Nice Intro

Love the new intro!
Smooth........thanks.
