Honestly the easiest explanation I’ve seen while looking into fly fishing. Definitely a video worth saving.
Glad you liked it!
I’ve watched your video at least a dozen times now. It’s just so relaxing and informative. Nice location, too.
I'm glad you like it. 👍
Glad you liked it!
I've watched hours and hours of how to videos for the act of actual fly fishing. This 20 minutes gave me more information and tutelage and all those others combined. Thank you.
Very informative
This guy needs to be teaching education. I would be amazed everytime.
Absolutely one of the very best fly fishing videos on TH-cam. Informative. Inspiring. Relaxing. Makes me want to fly to the UK and fish with you; the video makes it seem like I'm fishing with a good friend. Excellent!
Nice to see someone with the reel mounted round the correct way for a change
By far the best directions for a basic cast I have seen on TH-cam!
One of the best fly tutors I’ve come across helps a lot💯🎣
Great to hear!
Excellent video. I'm just getting back into fishing after 15 years and want to take the next step to fly fishing. This was a great introduction to the basics, well shot and informative. Thanks!
I also really appreciate this video. I tried fly fishing when I was younger and sorta gave up on it. Probably because I was obviously not doing anything correctly LOL. OF course that was before youtube! I did catch some fish, but only in places where you could tie a sock on a hook and catch them. With the Pandemic I have spent tons of time boning up on the fishing this year. Caught the most trout, bass, and perch of my life. My daughter , who just started fishing this year has become an awesome angler . Caught a small mouth bass off the docks in town (big fish). Next up, fly fishing thanks to your video! Thank you, and I agree with others you teach well!
Thank you
You're the first guy to recommend wearing eye protection in any of the videos I've watched. Well done fella, love the videos and all the tips
You must be a liberal if you need someone to warn you of possible dangers.
LimpNoodles Or a few cold beers .... 😜
Who fishes w/o polarized glasses anyway?
Wanderlust073 Someone who is only getting in to the sport and doesn’t know their arse from their elbow. It must be great knowing everything... eh?
OneMore Thing And you must have a lot of confidence sat behind a screen typing out useless comments. Another keyboard warrior with zero input. Congratulations fella
I'm literally getting my feet wet with fly fishing and the tips here were very helpful, thank you
1:47 well played sir well played....
For some reason it is hard to find a full video on how to fully start-to-end fly fish. TH-cam is full of "how to cast a fly fishing rod" but for a beginner like me, I need to know more than just that. Thank you for making a full tutorial video, it has really helped ease my learning process!
Mike Ley peal, pluck, pause, tap. It's so stuck in my head.
I've never heard anyone explain it better than this man. Awesome video.
Best video for beginners, can’t wait to slay this year
This guy sucks
Simon, you cast like magic. I now have an aspirational target: to shoot for the ability to roll cast for adding several feet of distance.
I think it would be fabulous to see a video of you working a wild lake. That fishery pond made me think of the difference between walking a golf course and backpacking in wilderness.
Nice tutorial, thanks for showing! Greetings from austria!
I'm just a kid that fishes on the lakes in the uk and I'm still learning how to cast properly and this is really helpful
This is an awesome video, thanks for all the little tips like degrease and what not. your awesome.
Always interesting to see different trout fishing environments around the world. Cheers!
Absolutely amazing video
This is so clear thanks for putting so much time into covering so much so simply and shooting from differnet angles to give us a better view.
Brilliant video and great tips.
Superbly done!
Thanks for the lesson. Nice job!
Great video, very informative and beautifully shot 👏
A great video! Well done.
Well presented and informative. 👍
Great video. Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you, your casting is inspiratioal. Also thank you for displaying you don't need a Sage rod to cast well
Thanks so much for the guidance! I hope I can do half as well as you on my casting! Lol
Outstanding video. Thank you so much.
I've never fly fished before but after watching this excellent video I will now purchase a suitable beginner outfit and give it a try. Thank you for making it look so easy, I know it won't be so easy but now I will give it a go.
Well done, especially the simpler basics,
Excellent video that has clarified fly fishing and what i need to start.
Glad it was helpful!
I am learning fly fishing after some angling years! Thank you for your tips
+Njord Fishing Channel Glad you liked it and found it useful. Tight Lines. NIcky
Yep, this is useful :)
I had a lesson with Richard at blakewell in August this year 2019 whilst on my summer holiday, a really nice guy and well worth the money, a beautiful place to fish, it also has a great cafe and lovely staff. I have already done course and sea fishing and now I can’t wait to get some fly gear and get out there. So if you’re in north Devon and fancy a go get down there you won’t regret it.👍

This is a great video when starting on casting a fly line. Thank you for the clear explanation by Simon Kidd!
Thank you sir. I'm just about to embark upon the long journey of learning to fly fish, I've ordered a 9 foot, 6 weight rod and proper reel to start, and am just waiting for them to arrive to begin my education. In the mean time I have watched and re-watched more than a dozen videos teaching the basic cast, and I have learned more from watching this one video than from all the others combined. I'm now more eager than ever to get started.
This video is very helpful and great for beginning fly fisherman like myself
Wish i had more time these days for fly fishing used to love it in the past 🎣
Wow, what happens behind you will happen in front of you. Wow So many lessons in fishing.
what a lovely bloke!
He sure is. Cheers and tight Lines. Nicky
That was great the fish looked fantastic colors and in really good condition the lake and surrounding was beuitiful in itself talking to the fisheries manger there I could tell he really knows his profession his spot on ....I like catch and release but never keep a trout out of the water for longer than 17 seconds if I can to stop any harm or corrosion to the Gill I've got to say your video was excellent finally I feel like I understand where I'm going wrong with my cast ...I couldn't belive the distance you were able to get. ..plus the ideas that you came up with in knowing what the fish should or would accept is an elumination to me as I fish one line one or two favorite fly ... well I've learnt something today thank you for your help and advice and time with this what a great video !!! And I always remember that the trout is only aluve because of the fishery and are preditory but I never want to harm or hurt any living creature so it's great to see catch and release fishery the fish will grow and can live many years in an environment that is plentiful and studies show that fish recover from trauma very quickly in fact within a moment and can take the very next cast you put out ... so I feel very greatful to good fishery such as this one that allow catch and release. ...
Awesome video, helped me a lot figuring out why I get a messy pile of line in the water in front of me. Kudos!
very good. nice and calm too.
this is weirdly relaxing lol
How can pulling on the rod top damage it. That’s what fish do.
That's a real flyfisherman. Some people think you are a better flyfisherman if you have a bigger reel than others !? Wtf ? No no , keep it small in a small stream.
skördekarlar isn’t the whole point of fly fishing supposed to be about lightness?
I see no other reason for fly fishing besides getting a tiny featherweight lure casting out far
Just bought a rod thank you for the awesome tutorial
Glad to help
I honesty thought that tying leaders was way harder thank you so much this is gonna make fly fishing so much easier thank you mate
If you tie a heavier leader into your fly line with a nail knot (,cut the loop off) and use heavier line say 15 pounds for say 4 feet minimum and at the end going to the fly leave a loop then use your light fly line 6 pound or so for 14 feet or whatever and connect it using a loop to loop connection, saves a lot of fuss when putting a new leader on. My leader is 18 feet with droppers 4 feet apart.
this is the most helpful video on youtube ive seen
What a good teacher well done👍
Thanks Robert. Please sign up to the channel for more great films.tight lines.
Well mr kid glad to see your still getting your rod up mate , a great starter film wich I'm sending to my 12 year old grandson who im teaching this year to fish ..we hope .. all the best glyn whitbread
Have fun
peal, pluck, paused, and tap. good info...
peal, pluck, pause, tap... it really helped me, thanks! :D
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
very handy for beginners cheers
That last rainbow was very nice looking
That guys a real master angler
great types!
Wow! I just picked up a fly rig and have been a little intimidated by the learning curve, I've watched a few videos - but for some reason this video seemed to get a lot of the crucial learning points across, though I'm sure I'll still look like a fool my first time out.
Great to hear you liked it and found it useful. share away. Tight lines. Nicky www.wildernesstv.com
Enjoyd that.
Hi Guys, Great short educational fly fishing lesson. I wish I were in UK. unfortunately, I'm in USA, S.F.
The UK is beautiful and such warm friendly people ,I've been fortunate to have traveled there 8 times.
I'm not in the US, but from what is can see the US is blessed with fantastic trout waters.
I pealed the line off the water and I heard nothing but bells ringing. Then I tried peeling it off. Just like a banana peel, it came off beautifully. ;-)
simply beautiful,there is nothing like man against fish,the beauty of the land,the smell of water,plants,the serenity of being out on the water,and then BAMM it's on,wow thanks for bringing it home.
Perfect conditions. I live 5 minutes from best fly fishing river in all Canada. So they say. Problem is I tried fly fishing total 2 times. So thank you for videos
What river would that be?

Thanks Chris
Thank you for your help, it was awesome! nice fish!
great video, thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it! Feel free to share the love.
My kind of teacher.
Superb video, I really enjoyed watching, something I can take up when I've mastered match fishing techniques!
Big daddy rising at 15:19....love the video. I always like to recalibrate and watch another bloke giving pointers. I develop bad habits, especially missing the nuance of a light strike in small streams while nymph fishing using strike indicators.
Very clear and consise
Glad you think so!
Simples assim...Ótimas dicas
You`ve answered some questions for me I seemed to always do it wrong
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have subscribed to our channel. Tight Lines
sunt din romania si sunt inetersat de asa ceva la noi nu iti explica cum se face asa ceva iti multumesc ca explici in detaliu
I hiked through an area in Scotland near Pitlochry. It appeared to have fishing holes ,,small ''Lochs'' bait shop . Wish I could have stayed on for a while. Funny story I was carrying a bamboo fly rod and was afraid it would get broken . SO I wrote a note and leaned it against the wee bait shop and walked on . Hopefully someone appreciated it and it saw good use.
Thank You !!!
Thanks for all the help. Im new to fly fishing and absolutely love it. For lakes and ponds should i use dry flies, nymphs, or streamers. thanks again for the video lesson.
Nmphys for sure maybe some small leech streemers

Thank u lovey video
Super. Thanks.
Thanks John. Tight Lines Buddy
A second thought on this video is that to load the road in the backcast to the max don't come back past one o'clock. The more vertical the rod is on the backcast the more power you can generate in the forward cast. Also, learn how to haul and double haul if you want distance.
Just right the Lilly pad, you bad bad man 💪🏼
Thank you for the great video. I noticed that the line is coming out of the reel from the bottom, my line is coming out from the top (closer to the rod), is that an issue? I am new to the whole fishing things. Thank you
Do you not use the tiny snap links like the Mustad snap links to make it easier to change flies? I know absolutely nothing about fly fishing, however I use the size 1 mustad snap links on my rigs for lure fishing, it makes changing lures quickly an absolute doddle
Wilderness fishing ... standing by a pond :-D
Hi Thomas. This obviously isn't wilderness Fishing. It a lesson on casting as per the title of the film. But thanks for your non constructive comments.
Kind of random but what rod is that? the reel seat looks amazing
Hi Lazydays. Its the Snowbee Geo 9ft 6 weight rod and reel. Tight Lines. Nicky
Is that a good place to get started? With large fish and corresponding high ticket price on strict catch & keep policy?
It can be very intimidating starting or. I don't particularly want to buy 10 different types of line. If I have only floating line and want to sink a nymph, Can I jus add a split shot to it?
Question, why not a tapered leader with a tippet? I know it bulks and lengthens the overall setup from loop to fly, but it helps with multi-fly presentation I think?
I have the same question did you get an answer?
and casting
Just curious, is there a reason you had chosen to use a straight line leader instead of a tapered leader?
I got a fly rod and the little black things that slide on that plug the holes in the different pieces came off is that a problem?
what model of landing net is that?? Is it the Snowbee 3-in -1??
Wait, you don't need to build a tapered leader? You can just put a 3x or 4x tippet on the end and call it a day?
@techsecmedia what reel is that,and where can i purchase it?
Hey! Nice video. A few things, I took note your using a non-tapered leader? Why? Also why use fluorocarbon as your leader material if your fishing dries? (as you probably know, fluorocarbon sinks)
I really want to learn how to fly fish. I'm on a budget and was wondering if I should take a course or learn off TH-cam. Any recommendations?
Pull of enough fly line plus a couple extra feet before you even start threading through the guides.
Gently slide the knot down the tippet instead of pulling it. You wouldn't get pig tail, nor stress the tippet.
I like to use a micheal evans arrohead line, it will blast wellinto the backing if you have the skill and a very fast action rod, i have the rod, but not the skill hahaha, the whole distance thing is a load of bollocks anyway, presentation > distance i think lines like my one are only mainly handy for blustery days, again if you have the skill and a fast rod.
Sorry if this is a silly question but when you changed tactics to a sinking line, you put on a wet fly? New to fly fishing and just learning. Great video
You fish either a wet fly, nymph, or streamer with sinking line.
Any fly except a dry fly
If I don't have a net how would I bring in a catch? I ask because I don't wanna break the rod of course, I do plan on getting a net in the future as well.
if you have a fish on, reel it in, and hold your rod in between your legs, then handle the fish, hold it behind or in front of the dorsle fin
Thanks Fishing Planet Man. Been offline for the last few months so thanks for stepping up with a good answer. Tight lines. Nicky www.techsecmedia.com

I have just started to cast with a fly rod (on land). Even when I feel like I got the cast right I can´t get alot of line out, not like in this video. Feels like the line isn´t sliding as good as this guys line does. Am I doing it wrong or could it be the equipement?
Maybe just takes a bit more practice to get it rolling. :) But definitely some lines are better and easier to cast than others. One thing that could help is to film your own cast from the side, and see if you stop the rod in right moments and so forth :)
Make sure the line weight is the same as the rod. Both 8 or whatever your rod is. And you need to get the length of line right to load the rod before it really shoots the line out. Too little and it won't bend the rod enough. And let go of the line on the final cast just as you feel it pull at your fingers. Too early it'll just fall down and too late it won't go far enough.
