Flip Pallot is fly fishing present and past. They just dont make guys like him anymore. He is a humble genius of fly fishing.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Agreed! Thanks for watching.

[@billbromer]

Laughing out when Flip took the fly back from Brian at the end. Of course Flip let Brian have the fly in the end, but the look on Brian’s face was great.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching! They work pretty well together.

[@MartinDoubek_ArnieX]

Yeah I loved that moment too. Flip looks like a cool guy :)

[@danaerickson1777]

That soft chuckle just before Flip says “I’m really not a fly tier “…. Epic for sure, just can’t get enough of Brian and Flip together 😎

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

Hi there! This was a really great video. Watching the king teach the prince a thing he uses as therapy. Is perhaps the essence of fishing and fly tying. This gave me new inspiration and faith in catching fish in the future. The fly should be called "wing-it"

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here and thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed.

[@Brunnen_Gee]

"You can't have it."
"Well, in that case, you can have it."

Brian has it on his desk at work! Thanks for watching.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@RackCrossStudio]

👏👏👏 Well done Brian - history, relevance, and a bunch of camaraderie in this one. YOU sir are now one my fishing hero's also! New supporter and fan here.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here and please stay tuned. More to come with Flip!

[@caryverhalen]

Flip is a national treasure. His voice captivated me while viewing his television series, "The Walkers Cay Chronicles." Flip is to us as fisherman, what Edward VerHalen was to guitar players. I'll be very sad when he exists earth

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here.

[@brian1204]

I first learned fly tying in the late 60s, and all my whip finishes are all manual! Don’t own a whip finishing tool.

[@lesleyallen3410]

What kind of hook did he use and what size?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Sorry but we don't have that information here. You'd have to check with Brian directly and he may know? You can e-mail him or call him at the shop. Thanks.

[@leonu2435]

He always says it’s like butter so about the pallet butter fly

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. We'll see what Flip thinks of that.

[@danieldowning4583]

Looking at the hands and eyes of this man, you can see the years of experience and skill. what a treat.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@TDTeddy]

Makes ya wonder what else those hands are skilled at…

[@jameslara5352]

Did ya ever named the fly

[@maniachill3069]

I met Flip in my state of Maine 20 years ago and he autographed my fly vest with a Sharpie. I still have the vest, but unfortunately his autograph has bleached out from the sun.
Great guy, love to see him. I loved his original episodes of fly fishing.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Flip is one of the greats for sure!

[@johnnylightning1491]

It's kind of gold in color so it's got to be the "Eldorado" or maybe "Flip's Eldorado". As far as that vice goes I've got one that was either my dad's or maybe my granddad's that looks very similar but without the Renzetti modification. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!!

[@FanOfLiberty1776]

I could listen to him tell stories and tie flies for hours. Would be like learning from a grandpa or great uncle. Priceless.
SUBSCRIBED!! 👍

What an awesome little tie! How about the peacock lizard for a name?

[@markrobinson8625]

I had a dream about being is this huge mall and saw a rack of fly fishing vests and boxes . Guess who was working there flip pallot lol. Such a weird dream .

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Weird indeed! Thanks for watching.

[@PatapscoMike]

That hand whip finish he did was in one of Joan Wulff's old fly fishing books. I taught myself to do it using her illustrations back in the 80's when I was in high school. I wonder if he learned it from her?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Awesome catch. Thanks for being here!

[@peytonfulkerson9835]

Since it looks like a pheasant at first glance I’d call it “the cackler” or “the Flipping Pheasant” as it flips in the water and was made by the legend himself

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@edwardmlotkiewicz2343]

Great video. Brian's expression was priceless when Flip took the fly back.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!!

[@HelgraMike]

Some of my best catches were caught on flies that i just winged it on because they just looked cool.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

As it should be! Thanks for watching!!

[@davidwarr7550]

I’ll throw in my name suggestion for the fly. I’ll call it the “ Tasty Pallot”

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

[@hanssteffensaburto2275]

may by the name of this fly will by "Flip fingerlin", surely...Thank´s a lot

I'd never fish that fly. It would go into a glass case and sit on my coffee table.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

It’s on display at the shop!

[@Dani_simu]

Call it “The Flippen Lefty” and hello Flip from Titusville, Fl.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@swamprat9018]

IF you did not name it the "Flip Wingit" you missed your opportunity.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

He may have....not sure yet. He doesn't miss many opportunities though.

[@3000waterman]

Ahhhh! A dollop of sycophantic hero worship to start the morning.

[@tonyblacktopful]

That was a treat ,and great fly I'm gona try acouple 👍✌️

[@Madriveroutfitters]

That fly should be called the Frigate in a dark rum color.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Yes! A tippet spool!

[@garrydurfey9700]

I can’t believe this popped up in my feed tonight. Been exploring fly tying videos so the magic of TH-cam probably loaded this for me. But I just had to comment and ask a question being my first time on your channel. I saw the Ohio Gazeteer behind you, are you in the vicinity of Springfield, Ohio? Seems like a lifetime ago when I was at Wright-Pat, but I was into whitewater kayaking and had yet to pick up a fly rod. Yes, I know, I missed a bunch of smallmouth from there, the Little Miami, etc……if I have the correct Mad River.
My comment concerns Flip. Gee, I loved Walker’s Cay Chronicles and I could listen to Flip all day. I couldn’t wait for Sunday mornings to watch the entire lineup, but even my wife would watch Flip. Especially the episodes with his wife (was it Diane?). Gee, to see him in this short video made my day….and more. Thank you for sharing this. And even his sense of humor taking the fly back from you, to me that was classic Flip. And yes, it also makes me miss Lefty……. Their videos together, you could tell they were more than friends. Sorry for going down that path….but you brought back a flood of memories. Thank you.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Tons more with Flip on the channel. The shop is located in Columbus, Ohio. Full details and link in the video description.

[@garrydurfey9700]

@@MadriveroutfittersI realized you had the google map links to your shop ……after I posted my comment. Gee, will try to read all the notes next time. Guess I got excited about seeing a video with Flip.

Truly. Our honor to have him here. Thanks for watching.

Bad ass little fly

Great video captured for the history books. I think a name like "Flip Pallot's Schminnow Varient" would be an ideal name.

I’d call it Flip-it

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Good one! Thanks for watching.

😀I would call it "Mim's Flip-It". Being that it was tied in Mims FL and Flip is the tyer and when it lands it rolls over hook point up! My name is Jake Finn and I'm from Dade County Florida.

I can’t believe I just found this video, having flip tying and knowing that if he said he makes these and uses them it’s 100% going to catch fish ! You can almost guarantee that Brian’s putting that fly in a frame on the wall ! 👍🏼

As a devoted follower and fan, I must say this with love. I can't stand the "hold on, here we go" teaser intro format. It doesn't feel authentic. Otherwise a great video as always.
