Brian, long time fisherman but new to fly-fishing. Your videos are extremely informative and entertaining. I've watched most multiple times. The one thing that I haven't seen addressed and perhaps I missed it, is the logic/strategy of stripping line before you cast, and the function of the non-casting hand during the cast, working the fly, and then line retrieval. I've gathered some knowledge by watching your videos but would love to have it demonstrated and explained in a video. Cheers!
Thanks for watching. Please send Brian an e-mail at the shop with this request. He'll see it there and get back to you right away. As he explains, he won't see it here.
Thank you, Brian! As a novice, I appreciate the constructive criticism and pointers! Living in the Adirondack’s of New York, everything has to be done right (in terms of casting and presentation), so thank you for the advice! Tight lines and keep the reel spinning! 🎣
I find that I cast better when I’m not thinking about casting, when I’m thinking about anything else I feel the line moving and just cast it right where I wanted it before I realize what I’ve done.
When I have a problem with casting I need to stop and relax. I go through the steps and think about what’s going on. It’s a lot easier to correct with nothing moving instead of when you have line moving in the air.
Love these they help so much. As far as casting goes its muscle memory and training. Eve pro athletes have time when fundamentals break down so dont be too hard on yourself or despair. Have a good laugh and re set.
Fly fishing for snook down here in FL, shops suggest a shock leader. If I'm using size 4 flies what lb test shock leader? I know it would be a x1 size but these leader packages don't mention sizes like that. Just lb test.
Please send your questions over to the shop via e-mail at admin@madriveroutfitters.com or give them a call. They are always happy to help. That's what they do! Thanks.
Used the clear inter for swinging spiders in the uk since they first came out. I find the spiders get down to depth easier so fish for longer in the swing. Also 95% of my salmon fishing with the spey rod i have one on.
I am trying to decide on an all round weight fly rod. I want a rod that can work well in a lot of different environments. I want to use it at the lake for large and small mouth bass and I want to take it to Florida to use as an inshore saltwater rod as well. I am looking at a 7 wt. currently that I think can do the job. What do you think? I will probably be throwing streamers and larger flies for bass and redfish.

My casting instructor told me to say Jack Daniel’s between casts to allow the line to straighten. Only thing I was thirsty after lol
Thanks for sharing......time to pour a cocktail?

Any word on your book? Can’t wait to get it!
He's working on it....again. Stay tuned.
Would love some advice on salt water fishing. Would love to target snook and tarpon from the jetty. I’m trying to get a sinking line for the 8wt
Feel free to call the folks at the shop. Helping folks is what they do!
Thank you!

What is considered a good casting distance?
1 foot further than your fishing partners’ 😂
Depends on where the fish/target is?
@@Madriveroutfitters let's say general saltwater flats fishing
Why rod is that ?? Is it a butter stick?
TFO Instructor Rod given to him by Lefty Kreh many years ago.
@@Madriveroutfitters that’s really great! Thank you
If you didn’t have Columbia Ohio on the tees, I would buy three…
Actually Columbus, Ohio. That's where we are from.....so sorry about that.
I need to practice my fly cast more…😂
Don’t we all? Thanks for being here.
For some reason i just instictively knew that a good learder starts with the butt.
Everyone knows it, deep down inside. Thanks for watching.
Thank you!
Very welcome.
