I always looked at those old fly fishermen near where I went to college like they were arcane wizards of some obscure fishing magicks. It's still kinda mystical in other ways, but now demystified.
14:08 Pete had my head spinning for a second with that Double Mocha Frappuccino. But click here for your first casting lesson. This video is so great! I may actually start fly fishing.
First fly kit is in the mail and trying to study up before I hit the waters. Fly fished some 20 years ago, but only a few times. Really looking forward to learning and expanding my knowledge.
As an avid golfer who loves watching seven days in utopia, the fly fishing cast is just like a golf swing that the movie portrays. Balance and rhythmic, with the timing of a swing. I wanna try fly fishing at some point in life
I've watched tons of videos because I want to get into fly fishing and this one has by far been the most informative. I feel so relaxed about it now and prepared to take a step into it. I'm also positive that I will be buying an Orvis fly fishing combo because of how much effort this company puts into their customers.
I feel like I just found an old dusty VHS-fishing tutorial at my grandparents lake-lodge that they remted from their local fishing-store fourty years ago but forgot to return. What an absolute gem of a video. Unbeatable cozy vibes and super informative. Much love from Sweden!
Hey Tom! Always enjoy your teaching. You take the mystery out and make it simple. Not sure if you are the Cat that gets these messages but wanted you to know that I appreciate you. Please stay safe out there and I'll look for you on the water.
Excellent video, nice to get a brief history of the sport before the lesson. I grew up sea angling, and fly fishing is totally new to me. I've joined a local club and picked up a rod combo, so I'm just looking forward to just getting out on the water now and working on my casting.
I now realize, to learn effectively, I need someone to pretend I’m 6. Then, they’ll explain in in a clear, easy to understand manner, like this fella! 😂 What a great teacher! 👍
I love to fish, and my 14-year-old grandson does too. We love trout fishing, but use spinning gear. We're gonna learn fly fishing together. We don't have anyone to guide or teach us, but we'll finger it out. It's going to be fun.
I scrolled down to see if anyone else noticed! The best part is that it happened when he was saying “I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it’s the easiest thing you’ve ever done…” 😂😂😂
Personally, normal fishing works for me, it’s fun, I’m prolly never gonna attempt to fly fish, but this is still very interesting. Maybe I’ll look into it,
Just got my first fly rod handed down from my granddad. Always wanted to fly fish but never had a rod. I'm about to freshen up the float line and leader then try it out.
When I started a hundred years ago, the 3 best pieces of advice I received were: 1) If you can roll cast, you can catch fish. 2) Get your hands wet. Turn over some rocks. 3) Get and keep the fly in the water. Only a couple of false casts and retrieve at a speed that matches the bug's natural movement.
I loved the video. Just bought my first fly fishing kit yesterday lol. Can’t wait to try it out for my first time. 😂😂😂 I love fishing just never tried fly fishing lolol.
I caught 3 nice sized bass all small mouths but still need to get better on my casting I tried to count to 3 then cast but never seem to get good leverage with my line.
Just started fishing in Albuquerque New Mexico the local pond has a catch and release pond the trout in that lake are 14 to 20 in. what do you recommend
Some of the waters and streams in this video seem otherworldly. Here in the UK almost every water is privatised and cut off from the public, does anyone know the location of some of these amazing waters?
I have had a fly rod for about 2 years now, but never really used it for fishing. My time up in Northern New Mexico makes me regret not taking it and practicing various techniques, since it was a prime location for it. I'm definitely gonna take it next time, and I'm kicking myself for not taking it with me.😢
Hello, I'm new to fly fishing.. and already bought my 5wt setup few days ago and got few practical tips on how to cast the fly.. so do you recommend me to get more practice at the field before ready to get my first fish on a fly?
Fly fishing IS easy to learn.. If you didn't grow up fishing in the gulf on the ocean. For those of us who have grown up fishing (I'm 49) we have to entirely reprogram our fishing brains. Literally everything is backwards in fly fishing that that of open water or bass fishing.
I have a 5 wt and a 7 wt rod, to save some money I'm interested in a Clearwater cassette reel, I see its a 6-8 wt reel, will the reel work on my 5wt rod if I load one cassette with 5wt line?
Pikes a warm water fish? I'm either dumb or he's wrong and fishing is his whole life so why was I thought pike are cold water and why aren't there any pike here in Nashville???
21:45 I don't know if this was planned or completely impromtu but the kid getting caught in a tree while you're saying "I'm not gonna lie to you and say it's the easiest thing you've ever done" is just poetic
I was just looking for that comment jajajajjaja
@@JaPoSkipper
The 😊😅😅😅😅try not too
Oo😮😮o😅
The only only way
Heck yeah! I just caught my first fish on a fly rod yesterday 👍🏽
And so your journey begins! Don't forget the rest of the world lol its easy to get incredibly immersed in fly fishing.
❤🎉
I'm still waiting for this moment a week and a half after starting.
Good job
Caught one today for my first time !
"The grasshopper didn't want to volunteer but we made him volunteer." HAHAHAHA!!
“….but we volunteered him.” Lol
Tom Rosenbauer's books and podcast were my start in fly fishing and I am forever grateful. Thanks, Tom.
I can't express how much this channel has helped me over the last three months of starting to fly fish. Thank you.
Great to hear! thanks

Anyone else wishing they had a dad that talked to them like this?
id type a demonstration of how my dad talked while teaching me to fish but itd get my youtube account banned😂😂
I just wish I had a dad…
@@jakeyjakey4018 at least he did teach you
My dad said he'll teach me to fish when he gets back from the shop ....... It's been 15 years ...
Got to go fishing with my pops once,
Mans still kicking and would never consider going with me

That is about as pure as it gets; takes me back to my youth.
I have been fishing for 45 years and this is the best introduction I have seen!
Thumbs up👍🤠
I recently inherited my grandfather's fishing gear but haven't been fishing since I was a kid. Looking forward to getting out there.
One of the best introductory video’s on fly fishing, I have seen!
“Reverse Double Mocha Spiral Cast”😂 I like mine with a shot of espresso.

Wow this is my first time learning about fly fishing and I think I picked the best video. My interests are peaked
Thanks for helping me, this gets me more fun every day now. Thanks again.
Glad to hear it!
Got a very inexpensive fly pole from Walmart went to a small pond and practice with it it sure had fun.
Love it, just got my first fly rod kit today. This video was just for me it seems ❤
Same
Ignore the black bear at 0:29
What an awesome fundamental video for my new wife and I to get started on our new hobby!!!
Heck of a great educational video. Thanks lots
😂
Just got a fly rod and waders for Christmas, so once this windy cold front passes I'll be out practicing with these tips. Thanks guys!
Thank you for the awesome video! Really made me realize how easy fly fishing is. I was always intimidated by it but excited to give it a try!

Thank you for teaching young kids how to fish. I am just starting to learn to fly fish.
Yea man sure. You got this.
Just got my fly rod. It is very windy today, so first time didn't go as expected. Will keep on trying.
I now realize, to learn effectively, I need someone to pretend I’m 6. Then, they’ll explain in in a clear, easy to understand manner, like this fella! 😂 What a great teacher! 👍

That's awesome
Amelia, That's a perfect start!!! The Jensens must love this one!!! ❤😂
I wish I had a grandpa like this!
I gotta try the bobber and small Mayfly I ordered awhile back. Never really get a chance to use them til now.
21:45 - caught in the tree 😅
Also has that look of "What do I do now?" after pulling it a couple of times and it still being stuck.
I scrolled down to see if anyone else noticed! The best part is that it happened when he was saying “I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it’s the easiest thing you’ve ever done…” 😂😂😂
Personally, normal fishing works for me, it’s fun, I’m prolly never gonna attempt to fly fish, but this is still very interesting. Maybe I’ll look into it,
Just got my first fly rod handed down from my granddad. Always wanted to fly fish but never had a rod. I'm about to freshen up the float line and leader then try it out.
Just bought my first fly set-up, an orvis combo kit #5 rod. Can't wait to get to the water now!
That was a fantastic episode. Thank you.
Cheers to teaching the kids
Here doing resurch to hopefully catch my first fish on fly rod

Turn over some rocks. 3) Get and keep the fly in the water. Only a couple of false casts and retrieve at a speed that matches the bug's natural movement.
I have to thank my dad for the last 50 years of teaching me to fish... He gave me his monster fly rod 30 years ago and I never looked back.... 🐟
Tom really knows!
I just caught a big tuna using this technique. Thank you! 😂
Brilliant video!
I loved the video. Just bought my first fly fishing kit yesterday lol. Can’t wait to try it out for my first time. 😂😂😂 I love fishing just never tried fly fishing lolol.
Thank you Tom!! keep doing what youre doing!! i have subscribed
I wish I had a pond like that in my backyard it’s so nice
21:47 kid got his line caught up the tree!
What about the nile tilapia fish? Can i fly cast it in north Africa?
I caught 3 nice sized bass all small mouths but still need to get better on my casting I tried to count to 3 then cast but never seem to get good leverage with my line.
Just got my first flyrod today
Okie there.
Hi chance, love n miss ya bubbee!😅😅😢
Just started fishing in Albuquerque New Mexico the local pond has a catch and release pond the trout in that lake are 14 to 20 in. what do you recommend
a five weight rod would be best. the encounter rod/reel/line is a good option
Some of the waters and streams in this video seem otherworldly. Here in the UK almost every water is privatised and cut off from the public, does anyone know the location of some of these amazing waters?
They were in Colorado, Montana and Wyoming. Cheers
I was recently gifted an old Fenwick 108-10 Rod. Could this still be used to catch small to medium sized fish like bass and trout?
I almost got my first fish today on my fly rod but your shoes I need to work on my technical little bit more
Great info, thank you
Thank you so much for these videos. I caught my first trout today on a Walmart black wooly bugger. I’ll be studying until the next trip!
congratulations and best of luck in the future
Is this series available off TH-cam?
Not at this time
Lol what awesome content, cant wait for my rod to get here so i can start practicing
I have had a fly rod for about 2 years now, but never really used it for fishing. My time up in Northern New Mexico makes me regret not taking it and practicing various techniques, since it was a prime location for it. I'm definitely gonna take it next time, and I'm kicking myself for not taking it with me.😢
What do we do if we encounter Dick Cheney? Or other oil tycoons?
LOL, now that is a tough one to answer!
The ending was funny. Kid had fly stuck on tree. 😂
And I especially liked it because we’ve allll been there!
@@kmaw917I was there today
What is the “bale” or “bail” - 19:50
cool
I'm a good judge of character and you are a genuine man.
Very informative. Thank you Tom.
Awesome video

lol the kid getting his line stuck in the tree towards the end 🤣
What kind of rod did the girls use because I can't find it anywhere

Thanks it's very helpful video for me... ❤
Shout out to pops for this one
This is a great video
Great video
No one saw the bear cub in the beginning?
Yeah, we saw it lol.
thank you sir
I found a rod that had been left for who knows how long, the case was destroyed but the rod and reel were perfect
man I can't wait to pass my fishing license test and go fly fishing next summer.
Pikes a warm water fish? I'm either dumb or he's wrong and fishing is his whole life so why was I thought pike are cold water and why aren't there any pike here in Nashville???
ok fine, i'll go watch 'A River Runs Through It' again tonight
Pliers and snips two most important tools outside of rod, reel, and tackle. NEVER trust a fisherman without pliers!!!
Genialny materiał Pozdrowienia z Polski !!
When I heard that first cast and saw it I was like um maybe fly fishing isn’t for me
Grasshoppers didn’t want to volunteer but we volunteered them 😂

Really I just want to eat the fish but it does look enjoyable. 👍
