Thanks for tuning in friends! What do you think about the importance of rhythm in fly casting? Comment below.
It's not up for discussion. It is what it is.
Does “rhythm” reflect the movement of the fish in sight casting.
Is there an exam at the end of these series? 😅 Kidding of course. Love the videos. I still have to get fly fishing gear but wanted to check it out before deep diving
@@Abolish101 Let us know how we can help!
I just added lefty comments and hoping it gets to y’all if it hasn’t already.
Have a great day all
Great videos man, best help online is your channel
Thanks so much. We really appreciate you being here.
That one dislike is from the fish we're about to catch.
J505 Perez Just wait. There will be more. Haters gonna hate.
Practice, practice then practice some more.. rhythm and form is everything. Thanks so much for helping me learn the proper cast. I’ve been fishing 40 years but flyfishing only 1, never had an instruction except online. Your videos have been and continue to be the best by far. Now I hardly touch my other rods. 🙂🎣
Thanks again Brian and MRO!
Charlie Boutin Thanks for being here and please stay tuned.
Great video Brian. You make it look so easy.
Neal Tubbs Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the videos.
I started fly fishing 4 months ago, and between the sessions with my instructor, you've been one of my main information sources and helped me with my initial purchases.
Your "getting started", "fly casting" and "Q&A" series changed everything from "totally overwhelming" to "mostly understandable"
Keep up the good work!
DaDemon1982 Awesome! Glad to help and stay tuned.
Always amazing informative fly fishing techniques off to the field to get some more practice in. Thanks as always for the videos
Nathan Julich You are welcome. Stay tuned.
Once again another great video. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks Brian
RONALD FISHER Thanks for watching!
Out of all the videos I've watched so far I think this is gonna be the most helpful! So simple but that is exactly what my problem is. I can't wait to try this! Love the videos! Super informative and easy to follow. Can't wait to get out and start actually fishing. I'm up for the challenge
Thanks for being here!
As a beginner in an area with a very small fly fishing population, thank you for making these! They're extremely helpful for getting some guidance on Line Unrolling (TM) when I otherwise can't find an in-person instructor.
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
YES!! I've been anxiously awaiting this!
Corey Lies The wait is over.
@@Madriveroutfitters I'm going fishing tonight and this is a glorious omen. The fish would probably jump out of the water to grab the fly, but they won't have to because my casting will be so rhythmically superior.
Brian and MRO, keep the instructional videos coming. You explain things so clearly it makes it easy to understand.... You and MRO are a great resource for beginner or long time fly fishers. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks so much for watching! As long as folks continue to support the shop, we can continue to make these. Stay tuned.
Has anyone else watched Brian's hair grey over all this time (a weeklong binge, more accurately), absorbed all this knowledge from him, and never notice that classy little ear stud? I can't be the only one.
Thanks for watching.
I can’t think of anything more important than rhythm. Couple it with rod position and you’ve just pretty much mastered the basic overhead cast. You did a very good job explaining not only what happens but what it feels like. That’s really important for learning. Good job!
Thanks for watching!
Greeeeeeat tutorial!
You da man!
Louis Lee Thanks for watching.
I like the way you teach. I have the great luck of living in the Sierra Nevada near the Kern River... Finally went to a half day class, and realized, uhm, I need to look into the timing and rhythm of "line unrolling." The little snippet where you corrected yourself with that look made me lol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks so much for watching and please stay tuned.
Brian, you’re the man! Thanks for all the videos. Great content.
Thanks for being here.
Excellent series, thank you so much for taking the time, it has cleared up a few things I didn't realize I was doing wrong.
Thanks for watching!!!
Excellent My Friend...
Thanks!!!
Nice tutorial Brian 🎣👍
Thanks as always for watching. Keep it up!
As a physicist, I really have to say thank you for knowing that rod loading is potential energy! Hahaha great videos.
Thanks for watching.
Great episode! Learning more by the hour!
Appreciate you watching.
Thank you. A really helpful series of videos
Simon Jones We appreciate you watching.
Awesome video!
I just started fly fishing and I’m hooked been going out 2-3 times a week. I’ve been having this problem from time to time with the line dropping in front of me when I cast over head. If I drop side arm I can make nice casts and the fly floats down. I have to work on the timing! Thanks Brian! I’ve been watching all your videos multiple times! Keep up the good work!
Bob Daniel Thanks for watching and stay tuned.
Brian, you are an amazing tutor. Your ability and enthusiasm are infectious.Although I would consider my fly-casting abilities above average, there is always room for improvement. Gobbled up the whole "line unrolling series", and sent me straight to an open area to practice my practicing !!(haha)
Rhythm is a massive factor in my opinion. I see many beginners reach a state of inertia during their false casting.
I like to start slow and speed up every consecutive false cast, building up line speed. this is using the double haul.
Would love to meet you some day, and maybe even throw a line somewhere.
With that level of passion and professionalism, you must be an exceptional guide !!!
All the best in what you do......greetings from far away South Africa
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. You should sign up and go on a trip with Brian someday!!!
You remind me of as golf pro, lol.
Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
@@Madriveroutfitters Honestly, I can’t thank you enough! I am new and really appreciate what your channel!
I would love to know who is hitting the dislike. This series is awesome and so informative
You probably don't want to know them would be our guess. It's ok though....haters make us famous!!! Thanks for being here and thanks for watching.
Sometimes when I make my up cast, the line comes very close to my face, and once on the down cast, it tipped the back of my head. What could I be doing wrong to have it so close to my head/face?
I'm practicing with only fly line. No leader or fly. For safety and so as not to snap off my flys.
I absolutely love your videos on fly casting/line unrolling(along with all the rest). I watch them over and over. I believe I'm on my fourth time through.
Keep up the great work. Wish I lived closer so my daughter and I could take some in-person classes and meet you all.
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions directly to Brian at the shop and he’ll be happy to help out.
An awesome series Brian. I do have one request... Fly casting videos almost never show casting a weighted fly. Not all of us are exclusive dry fly fisherman. Could you do a video on casting weighted/wind resistant bugs?
Thanks for watching. Will pass along but you can also feel free to call or e-mail him at the shop. He might respond better to you than to us!!!
Can you feel when your rod is loaded on the back cast? If so what should I be feeling? I'm new to fly fishing and absolutely love it!
Send those questions over to Brian at the shop directly and he'll be happy to answer. admin@madriveroutfitters.com. Thanks.
I'm a little slow I guess but the 10 o'clock to one o'clock finally makes sense to me i think. With the camera facing you it didn't make sense to me but with the camera behind you and you against the wall now it makes sense. Yea I just started today sooo....
Thanks for watching and glad you got it. Please stay tuned.
Brain, Thanks for all your videos they are extremely helpful. I realize this is an old video, but my question is do you practice with or without a leader.
Thanks for watching. A leader is required for practice. Feel free to contact Brian directly through the shop if any further questions.
3:33 yeeuppp das me
SCOutdoors You are not alone! Thanks for watching.
Great videos. I’m learning a ton. When I’m practicing in my yard what should I put on the end of my line?
A leader.
Mad River Outfitters, I've had a fly-fishing instructor recommend a short length of yarn on the end of the leader as a fair approximation of a fly-like weight and behavior, plus visibility, for practice sessions. Would you concur with that as an acceptable option? (A-ha ... I read on below, and see that you do.)
These videos are amazing, thank you sir. I just have a hard time seeing the full cast part in the videos when you cast a red line against a red brick background. I can't see what the line is doing at all.
Thanks for watching. Maybe imagine?
Slightly side note here, but are you perhaps Red/Green colorblind? I can see the line when he's casting against the brick wall...
@@MidwestSteeze Fair guess, but Abraham's point is legit. I've no color blindness, but the same thought did arise for me, I admit. I had to really peer at the screen to discern it (but then, I'm in a campground sitting at a picnic table outside, so admittedly the lighting isn't perfect). The shot served well enough as a visual aid to demonstrate his point; but even so, Mad River Outfitters might do well to re-shoot that scene against a white-, black- or blue-painted building side, and splice it in there.
I just want to see if you can reply to every comment on this video!? JK... great video as always! Hope to get up to the shop soon.
We reply to every comment, every e-mail and answer every phone call. Just like a real business. Thanks for watching.
Great video! My cast , no, my line unrolling is falling a little slacky in forward cast, not piled, but not as straight as I’d like. Can the leader have to do with It? Or it’s more likely I’m waiting too much? I’m actually using very short leader for big streamer (practicing cast for Amazon peacock bass)
Give Brian a shout at the shop and he'll be happy to help. Thanks for watching.
the one thing that Im very curious about after watching a number of your videos is, Do you have any leader material on the end of the "fly line", when making these videos.? the reason I ask is because Ive always thought that a leader along with a piece of yarn perhaps was good for practice purposes, but if I didn't have to have it I would not bother.
You MUST have a leader on there. Physics. The yarn is optional.
Mad River Outfitters Understood, Thank You, love your videos they have brought my Fly casting to a level i never thought I would reach. Wish I could buy ya’ a beer.
Any advice for hurley muscular guy that can't quite get the proper stance right?😢
Feel free to contact Brian or the folks at the shop directly with questions and they will be happy to help. Thanks!
Ok. Great info. But I was having issues with the 10 to 1.
Well it just kept falling to crap. And watched you again in the beginning of this episode.
Your calling it 10to1. But I’m left handed. And it took a while to figure out for the lefty it is 11 to 2 if I’m correct. I’m still such a newbie trying to do this and I’m sure I’m messing up but I seem to do better at 10/2 but I don’t want to start a bad habit.
But please correct me if I’m right or wrong please thanks.
Thanks for watching. Please contact Brian directly through the shop and he will be happy to help. You can call him or send him an email.
@madriveroutfitters when you say ‘line unrolling’, does that include the leader and tippet?
Russell Peters Yes, of course.
Hi Brian .
Can this practise be done without a fly on the leader? Or will this let to less energy for casting.
Best regards .
jo lo Must have a leader. Fly is optional.
I must say that was so good s$#t. Been saltwater line unrolling for about 25 years and I'm more prone to wait too long in the back but never realized it until this video. So for the long time unrolling guys pay attention to the man. If you can grab one little tidbit your that much better. So pay attention you know it alls like me.
Thanks a ton for being here. Much more to come so please stay tuned.
Rhythm: I am a beginner and my casting sounds like an atonal jazz band.
Stick with 4/4 time....not that jazz stuff.
All this info about energy, and timing just to make a fish think a bug has landed on top of the water? Not trolling. I love "A river runs through it"..i just don't understand how fly fishing is supposed to be so different than any other fishing, other than the hook not being submersed in the water.
Most flies don't weight very much so it's a much different delivery method. It's still just fishing though. You must be able to cast to be successful. Many flies are fished below the surface though. It's not all about "bugs landing on the water".
