The addition of sinking polyleaders was also a game changing revolution for me. I remember my first float with a polyleader and articulated flies. I had no idea there were THAT many "trophy" fish in the water I had beaten to death for years. Having some background in warmwater fly and spin, it was so natural. Great video folks, as always.
Boy do I love hearing that 2 clicks of drag come out from his great forward momentum. This man is the real deal. Effortless casting that gives results. "Like butter..."
Three years ago I built my first and only fly rod, and then purchased everything else from MRO. The sinking line with a weightless fly quickly became my preferred way to fish for all reasons mentioned in this video. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you so much! I’m in Baja right now fishing salt water and a sink tip line for the first time and boy howdy I’ve been struggling. This enlightens me to sooooo many things I have been doing wrong! Thank you so very much!!! I really appreciate all you guys (and Kelly) have taught and inspired me!!!
Wow! Lots of great info. I can’t wait to apply this to my intermediate line on my 7wt., as I’ve been casting it like a floating line and using too long of a leader 🤦🏼♂️. Thank you for this video.
Very informative. Good job Brian. And did you notice how easy it is for the fly line to get caught under foot, on something on the boat, and even the sipper pull on Kelley’s shorts
Brian, the videos you post are top notch and have helped me up my game immensely. I also appreciate your timely responses to email questions I’ve sent. Sharing your love of our great sport is blessing.
My first comment on your channel, even though I watch it almost daily. This edition has been the honey on the hot butter for me as I have definitively been a long leader advocate. I have still to tie some of Kelly's articulated flies (don't seem to see them in the fly shops here in South Africa). Thank you, Brian, Kelly and your team for the invaluable and well presented information you share that takes a decades long obsession of mine on a constant learning curve. Take care, be safe and keep teach us to cut that butter.
Thanks for the video. I have never felt so seen, lol. I just ordered a sinking tip line along with leader materials and flies from you guys to start bass fishing here in Alabama. This video was really helpful.
Very timely Mr. Flechsig, I have been really interested in sink tip lines for streamers lately. I think the casting and leader advice you and Mr. Galloup gave will definitely save me a lot of headaches!
Greetings! Every new video is a very help for me as a begginer in fly fishing. Especialy casting episodes. But also other. Have to thank you for sharing the knowladges, tips and all that stuff. Based on that I finally started better cast, which can be named fly-cast 😀👍. I have learned a lot. Can wait for another, meanwhile I am still practising. Thank you.
Went streamer fishing for the first time today. It’s very different. Hoping I didn’t break my rod the one time I hit it with my fly! Didn’t see much success, probably because I’m so new to it. But one big brown swiped at my fly and that was very exciting. Not sure how I missed that hook set.
Been thinking about sinking line for a while now. Maybe this Summer. Every water around here right now is under ice or pretty much inaccessible due to deep snow.
Thanks for another great video, but one question: why construct the leader from nylon monofilament rather than fluorocarbon? Intuition suggests the faster sinking rate and lower visibility of fluoro would be advantageous.
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions over to Brian at the shop directly and he’ll be happy to help/answer. Shoot him an email or give him a call.
Breaking the wrist and dropping the shoulder a little to extend the back cast was something Lefty Krey was big on. Extending the back cast allows for a longer forward cast with more load on the rod.
Hi Brian. I fish a lot in still water these days. When fishing with 2 flies, a dry fly an a nymph, how should the leader be on a 9 ft rod? Ps: excuse me for my bad englisch.
Hi, I fish many different species including steelhead over the years. Have you ever used the product “Teeny” Shooting Line? I use it to shoot my salmon and steelhead flies. If so, do you think it would work well throwing my big trout streamers on my 7 WT rod and using that shooting line and or incorporating it into the butt of my short streamer leaders? The Teeny is very thin and really glides through the guides.
Thanks for watching. The tippet has to do with the fly....not the line. The butt section has to do with the line. Feel free to call or e-mail Brian at the shop if any questions. He's always happy to help.
Im brand new to this. Coming up on 6 months with Kelly's streamer max long in 200 on a 6wt. I feel like I have no problem doing this technique from land or a boat, but the sticky water when im wading... Ughhh. And the fact that its at my feet and has to be zinged out from under me. If anyone has the magic advice, I am absolutely all ears. Thanks in advance.
@Madriveroutfitters thank you sir. I think my problem is shooting the excess out of the water because it sinks. On land it zips , or from a boat. It just seems like I have to keep pulling it up out of the water and false casting when wading.

What WT do you recommend with this line and streamer fishing? Just for smallmouth and trout
@@Anthony-eg7pw prolly a 7wt
Loved when you emphasized SWIMMING Jimmy at the end 🤣 Great video, thanks for all you do!
Thanks for watching.
Great video. Arguably the best video on sinking fly lines. Kelly as always is awesome.
We agree….Kelly is awesome. Stay tuned…..more to come!

Kelly: "You see people, they work the hell out of that rod."
I feel personally attacked.
Don't take it personal and thanks for watching. Do less work and you'll cast better!
It's yours you play with it If you want 🤣

You got Kelly to say "like butter". This made my day.
Thanks for watching.

Very informative. Good job Brian. And did you notice how easy it is for the fly line to get caught under foot, on something on the boat, and even the sipper pull on Kelley’s shorts
Thanks for watching.
Great video with info I have not seen anywhere else. This is the first time I have heard the short leader tip. Thanks. Just like butter…
Thanks for watching. #likebutter

Great job Katy on the boat
She knows how to do it!
Would you mind telling me what make and model the raft is? I just moved to Knoxville and I am looking to buy one. Thanks
@@ttroytolan9278 You’d have to check with Katie directly on that. Give her a call at the shop.
Great video
I learned how to casting of sinking lines
Thanks
Thanks for being here and happy to help!

I just bought an airflo streamer max long a couple of days ago! Perfect timing
Thanks for the support and thanks for watching.
@@Madriveroutfitters I bought the line and reel at a local shop but I'll definitely be buying some streamers from Mad River Outfitters!
Nice information video Brian 👍. As it is wicked for sliging pike or Musky Flys
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video Brian and all of the great information in it!

Wow, that was jam
Packed. Lots to process. Glad you cracked that nut open.

Hi Brian.
I fish a lot in still water these days. When fishing with 2 flies, a dry fly an a nymph, how should the leader be on a 9 ft rod?
Ps: excuse me for my bad englisch.
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions to Brian directly via e-mail or give him a call. He’ll be happy to help.
Thanks for this. I have ripped out my underpants.
Thanks for watching and best of luck with that.

Thanks for the video. So the with that line it only sinks when your retrieving it? Did I hear the right.
Pretty sure they said that it stops sinking when you retrieve it?
@@Madriveroutfitters that’s what I meant to say lol. Thanks for the reply!!!
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
MRO … in Brian’s leader formula …is MUG used for the Tippet as well ?
Not sure here. Send him an email at the shop or give him a call. He’ll be happy to help. Thanks.
If I’m fishing a 6wt with the 200 grain fly line and smaller streamers would my tippet still be .012?
Thanks for watching. The tippet has to do with the fly....not the line. The butt section has to do with the line. Feel free to call or e-mail Brian at the shop if any questions. He's always happy to help.

The secrets should be right here in this video!

What does Kelly mean by "doing a pickup" just before casting?
Roll cast pickup.
@@Madriveroutfitters This is to get the streamer close to the top of the water, correct?
How can I get a Slide Inn trucker hat like Kelly is wearing?
Check with the Slide Inn?

Thanks for watching.
Great video. Arguably the best video on sinking fly lines. Kelly as always is awesome.
Thanks for watching and for the support!
