Boy Howdy, amazing flies. I appreciate the story and trials behind getting it to where it is today. I love how the culture just keeps adding pages to the book.
You and Blane are living the life that I would love to; designing and fishing some wicked flies, taking people out showing them a great time on the water even building custom rods, running a shop, among other things. I definitely will have to get that Game Changer book off the website. I am digging all those flies including the craw changer, hellgramite changer and the jerk changer. I may experiment with my own craw changer and a salamander changer . Those Fly Palas and jointed swimbaits are mind bogglingly cool 😎
I've read Blane's book. Today I watched your video of you and Blane Chocklett talking the flies Blane is coming up with for the future. He (Blane) thinks outside the box of classic fly tying and reminds me of Jay "Fishy" Fullum. I don't exactly understand how the shanks fit into one another and of course into the hook. Maybe you could show a video on that. Thanks Brian and MRO.
Thanks for watching. Check out some of Pat Kelly's tying videos here. He shows the ins-and-outs of the shanks and such. Feel free to call the shop as well if you have specific questions.
Hi, I'm home in quarantine, I came across your page after I looked up o knot tying tool. I have been fly fishing 3 years, and I have learned so much watching your youtube, you keep it so simple, the important things really stand out, I now know why my 4x doesn't fit into those small flys, why I can't cast a bigger fly with it either,hmmmm why I have not caught anything with a streamer yet. I have been to 2 fly schools and watched so many youtube pages and have learned things, but you clean out all the noise and get to the important stuff, that somehow after 3 years I had no clue about, I have had so many lightbulbs moments please keep them coming, I will be hitting your online store for some fishy wear so cute
This is just my 2 cents, what draws me to fly fishing is not a lot of people throws flies were I live so switching from conventional lures that everyone is throwing, to flies even classic fly patterns get alot of attention from pressured fish. It's cool to see the fly fishing body of knowledge grow as I'm getting more into it.
Wow man love his way of thinking. I just got into fly fishing again. I'm Really excited i want to fish with his flies. I'm getting his book. Your videos are super cool 😎 👌
Great. Awesome you guys rock. Please keep bringing them to us. I’ve landed big musky and pike on spinning gear. Blane and Brian have got me hooked. And Pat has helped me with equipment selection. Thanks so much.
The hellgrammite changer looks awesome! Big trout and smallie candy. My largest Smallmouth was hooked on a hellgrammite fly in an ADK lake. You store carries the largest variety of top quality bass and pike flies in the market!
A perfect Hellgrammite!!!! MAN if I would have had these years ago fishing Smallies on the Susquehanna river..... I used to hunt the rocks and weeds to catch live hellgrammites (which were hard to find) I was guaranteed a couple of fish before it was stolen or fell off.
Hi Flechsig & Chocklett, I have a serious question about your book. How do you make the tail portion of the gummy spoon minnow? The sili skin is sticky on one side, I have no idea how you make the tail shinny on both side? I read the chapter 4 over but no solution. Thanks!
Thanks for checking with us. Just to be clear though, neither Brian nor Blane monitor the comments here on TH-cam. Would be best for sure to call the shop and speak to one of the guys there and they can help. Ask for the fly tying department and they will be glad to help you out.
@@Madriveroutfitters Could you please convey my question to them? I live in Taiwan and my english is not very fluent. I bought the book via amazon. Thanks for help!
Is he no longer guiding? I’ve been thinking about a smallmouth trip down that way so looked for a website to book him to guide, and every address I could find for him was no longer working. Maybe someone can recommend a guide in Virginia or Maryland.
What I dont understand, and is the reason I tend to agree with the “purists,” why the heck don’t you just put actual spinning lures on a fly rod? They seem like they already do the job better than flies and ive seen sturdier rods that can handle them. What am I missing?
HELGRAMMITE !!!! BRILLIANT. The only issue is, I'm gonna spend a BUNCH of money at the shop... 👍👍👍
Amazing stuff. We do appreciate the support.
As always, great video.
Love the look into Blane's mind- the mind of a genius. Keep em coming!
He is truly a genius. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.
Just ordered my first fly outfit off of your website. I was watching your videos and they convinced me to get into fly fishing.
Thanks for the support. Let us know how we can help moving forward.

I’m absolutely going to need a new box just for the changers 😁
We'll be happy to help!
Very good video Brian and I agree the 100% Blane´s concept even when we have a traditionalist inside. Good work
Thanks for watching.
Innovative approach to making flies...love it.
Agreed. The man is an artist.
Thank you for the wealth of knowledge! Both Brian & MRO Team and Blane. Thank you.
We appreciate you being here.
Fantastic flies. These flies will catch fish no doubt. Are these available in the store already? Blane is doing a great job. tight lines from Germany
Thanks for watching. Most of these new flies will be late 2021 or 2022 before available.
@@Madriveroutfitters Hi Brian, thanks for your prompt reply. Best regards Peter from Hamburg, Germany
I have a feeling that if these flies get snagged I’m going down to get them.
Lol I hear that
You bet!
One of my game changers got snagged yesterday and I was like "I ain't losing a 10 dollar fly" so I jumped in and got it back.
Fantastic content guys. Thank you.
Thanks so much for being here.
awesome looking flies!
Thanks for watching.
Great. Awesome you guys rock. Please keep bringing them to us. I’ve landed big musky and pike on spinning gear. Blane and Brian have got me hooked. And Pat has helped me with equipment selection. Thanks so much.

Innovative Mind blowing changer craw for Carp & swimming nymph's cannot wait Thank you .
Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks so much for watching and for shopping!
Cant wait to see what else they come up with
Some really cool stuff. Blane is amazing.
Excellent!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching.
I started “fly fishing” as a kid with monofilament and rapalas.
Most of us did. Thanks for watching.
A perfect Hellgrammite!!!! MAN if I would have had these years ago fishing Smallies on the Susquehanna river..... I used to hunt the rocks and weeds to catch live hellgrammites (which were hard to find) I was guaranteed a couple of fish before it was stolen or fell off.
Thanks for watching.
Nice flies! I just want to know if Blane had shoes on? Or were they sandals? Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Thanks for watching but not sure about that.
As a longtime deadhead I always say that if purists say you're doing something wrong oh, you're doing something right
Thanks for being here.

Is the new “fluke” fly pattern in the Game Changer book?
Not sure to be honest but if you email the shop they should know. Thanks.
“Hell’s Great Mite”
Good one! Will pass along to Blane.
Very good stuff.
Thanks for watching.
Total agreement. If you don't like the fly, don't fish it. If you don't like me fishing that fly, don't fish with me.
It's really that simple. Thanks.
Those nymphs! 🤤
Amazing!
Where could we find the flypala to buy?
Thanks for checking but not available commercially that we know of.
Awesome 🎣, 👌
Thanks for watching.
I need to see that flypala recipe
It's featured in his book: www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-17084-game-changertying-flies-that-look-and-swim-like-the-real-thing.aspx
So cool!
Thanks for being here.

Contact the shop and they will put you in direct contact with Blane.
@@Madriveroutfitters thanks
Don't ever let anybody who never saw Pigpen tell you that the Dead is nothing without Jerry
Not sure about the context here but thanks for sharing?
Now we need a cicada changer
Coming?
especially with the 17 year cicadas coming out, it's gonna be fun
Some very nice flies, but the first couple would be better described as lures.
Thanks for watching. Cool thing is that you can call them whatever you want.
@@Madriveroutfitters It's not a fly, but if I'm wrong I hear Cabelas has all their treble hook Rapala flies on sale.
if you're using a fly rod, it has no trebles, and it ain't alive or dead, it's fly fishing.
Fair 'nuff.
When are the craw dads hitting shelves???? Tremendous pattern
Not sure yet but we'll let you know.
What I dont understand, and is the reason I tend to agree with the “purists,” why the heck don’t you just put actual spinning lures on a fly rod? They seem like they already do the job better than flies and ive seen sturdier rods that can handle them. What am I missing?
You can! Either that or just use a spinning rod.
Second. Is there a prize? 😄
Thanks but no prize that we are aware of.
Blane…ya still in the Noke
You'd have to check with him....he's just a guest in the video and won't be getting back to you here. Thanks though.
@@Madriveroutfitters Thank you. I watch your videos frequently and can’t believe I saw someone I’ve met!
First 😄
Good work!
