Simply the best fly fishng educational video I have ever seen. As a beginner, I have learned so much from this and other videos you produced. Thank you.and please keep the coming.
Great video Tom. I have been fly fishing for 20+ years and I think this is one of best videos for beginner to intermediate anglers. Always nice to get a refresher on the basics.
A tremendous video! I had to keep pausing it to write down the 10 must have flies. Stopped by my local fly shop yesterday am and got a few of each one of your recommendations, also bought several recommended by the fly shop for local fishing at present. thank you!
Such a great video, from the editing, the videography, to the instructions, and the fishing. Thanks for producing such great fly fishing instructional videos for people like me who are just starting out. I'm currently isolating because of covid-19 and these videos are helping me learn a lot in the winter months, where fishing trips are few and far between. One day I hope to produce as good videos, and be half the fly fisherman Tom is.
Thank you for all of the amazing information and resources! Through watching your videos and listening to the podcast I have become a successful feather flipper, as there are no fly shops or services in my local area these have made it possible for me to teach myself the fundamental tools of fly fishing, including tying my own flies. I'm at my one year fly anniversary and I'm just as excited as I was when I gripped that beautiful cork for the first time without a clue of what I was in for. Fly fishing has driven me to some of the most beautiful places of my life and giving me plenty more to seek out. I also wanted to mention the love I have developed for the fish and the habitats in which they live, and have become more focused on teaching good fish handling practices to others along with conservation efforts locally. The new videos are awesome, thank you and please continue to share and educate other like myself who don't have the resources in person. @rosenbauert
Awesome video. I love the section at the end where we were with you "live" as you worked the Wyoming stream. It was great to get your thought process as you worked it out. Loved Pete's tip on casting upstream to a feeding fish. Keep these videos coming!
Great video Tom, I particularly liked the way you worked that last pool. Fishing new rivers or even old favorites ( you can never walk into the same river twice) is really fun. The challenge of the sport is figuring it out! In this video you show us how. Nice job and thanks for the pattern list as well, I love hearing about and comparing favorite patterns. Buen trabajo!
Used the tips you offered in how to find trout, and advanced streamer tactics to land 5 nice Rainbows on an old style bucktail today here in the Adirondacks.
My understanding is that the “High Water Highway” is Federal, not State Law on US Navigable Rivers. A Navigable River is anything a Canoe can be floated on intermittently and portaged within the high water mark in between. These waterways supported exploration and commerce then and now such as guides today and trappers years past. That said, be respectful and best not to argue with a landowner that might disagree with your interpretation of the law. He or she might not care.
Hi Tom, I’m a new angler you just started. Since I’m new, I’m going for smaller fish or simple fishing. I found your Chanel recently and it’s been very informative and helpful. I just have one question, which state do you live in? Don’t mean for this to sound personal just interested where you find all these beautiful terrains and river, especially in your videos on how to fish trout.
ATTENTION EVERYONE....... And by everyone I’m targeting: Beginners to our sport & the overzealous dad who’s teaching his kid(s) to fish for the 1st time, if there’s one takeaway from this video I beg of is the advice Tom dispenses at 4:40.....If you see someone fishing a stretch of water that you like, PLEASE keep moving & do not encroach especially if the rest of the river is wide open. The second thing I taught my kid after I gave him some casting pointers is manners & of course being a good steward of land ( pick up after yourself trash, discarded tippet etc.) along with having to clean up after the occasional litterbug. There’s not a more defeating feeling of working a stretch of water or a killer run & getting into fish only to see a line from a Snoopy pole no less land across your line because you were too busy to notice the dad & kid that had ambled down stream-side behind you while you were working a 20 inch rainbow which no doubt had refused your offerings more than once. Then you turn out to be the a**hole for saying anything to dad or kid.....Not that I’ve had that happen to me once or ten times....🤣😂🤣. Just saying folks. Tight lines Tom.
Orvis, what time of year was Tom fishing in WY in that last segment? And is the hatch better in some seasons/months typically (in the Pacific Northwest) than other months/seasons? Thanks!
Thanks we were fishing in mid-August in Wyoming. In the PNW, I would imagine you would have your best hatches in the month before runoff, and then in the month after runoff. That, of course, can vary from year to year.
...prospect for trout with a thermometer probe, to find out where the cold water springs seep into the pools. Fishfinders used to have them as an accessory with a 50 ft. cable....but not anymore it seems..
Probably the most complete video I’ve seen .. sharing this with every new fisherman I meet

The way you break down flies that will work anywhere in the world is so helpful to us beginner anglers! Thank you!
You are most welcome. It's not that difficult!
I have several goals in my life. One of them is to fish with Tom Rosenbauer.
So glad to see Backcountry Hunters and Anglers being mentioned and their resources being put out on big name locations! #publiclandowner
They are awesome and I support them whenever I can
Great video Tom. I have been fly fishing for 20+ years and I think this is one of best videos for beginner to intermediate anglers. Always nice to get a refresher on the basics.

Love the section on soft hackles! It always seems like they are the less discussed option. Another great video, thanks y'all!
It was an eye-opener for me as well. Now I use that technique all the time.

Thanks glad it was helpful
It's so helpful to see your decision making process. Wonderful film, thank you!
You are very welcome.
Always a great learning video! Helped me on the stream so many times

Always informative...thanks.
You are very welcome
Look at the spiderweb! Never thought about it, shake the bushes? Again I never thought about it. Great.
Glad these tips helped.
Great series, Tom. Can you do this also for stillwater flyfishing? Best regards from gernany.
Yes, absolutely, we have one coming done with Phil Rowley in Idaho
It's coming soon!
Excellent - Thank you.
You are most welcome.

I actually find that kids have better ethics than many of us old guys.

I just started fly fishing my line is orange can I get clear

Great idea
I'm going to have to rethink my box.
Don't change it it's working for you!
looks like Fremont canyon
