  1. Definitely ordering y’all’s pack on the 1st! I want to get into fly fishing so bad!! And this is the year I’m starting!

  2. Second time i have watched this, Super instruction–By the way–You look like Frank from American Pickers!!!

  3. liked the cool low in the bacl ground Ted Nugent backing track,, awesome way to think and how to gear up module .. give this presentation a five star

  4. i’ve always been told that a 6wt rod is the all around rod? i live in finland tho so it’s probably because of that

  5. Picking the right fly guide book was real good do you guys have any more like that I like to read them excellent information

  6. what size of rod is best for fishes weighing between 2 and 4 pounds ? wanna hop onto fly fishing but dont wanna get a too big nor too small of a rod. thanks

  7. Dude, watching you is amazing. I’ve never fly fishes before but am wanting to get into it. Even outside fly fishing, you’re one of my favorite YouTubers. Commentary is top notch

  8. 1966, (I was 15) my dad bought me a 7wt rod with I don’t know what line, no backer, and the reel is spring loaded so you can pull a lever and it reels in the line by itself. Neither of us knew anything about fly fishing, but I had won 6 doz. flies in a contest advertised in Outdoor Life (1st 100 to send in a fishing story gets 72 assorted flies). I still have the rod (busted tip) and most of the flies, but still don’t know anything. Do you know anything about the spring loaded reel, and is it useful in a practical sense?

  9. Curious on the starter kit you have. How does that rod compare to a TFO one I’m looking at? Also do you recommend a bag over a vest?

  10. Love this one, I know a few people that are interested in starting up, and I will send them your videos

  11. As a lawn care employee I feel like walking on uneven ground would be the least of my worries but anyone have any wader boot combos that are effective and won’t break the bank?

  12. Funny and informative! My issue is calling a fly reel a "line keeper"! Please STOP perpetuating this myth! Trying to "strip" a large fish in is just asking for a break off cause you are holding the line too tight and the fish makes a sudden run and pop there goes the fly. Having the fish on the reel with a good drag system ensures more fish in the net by softening the runs, head shakes and jumps. Teach beginners to get the fish on the reel as soon as possible so they develop muscle memory and correct technique even if they just using their hand to supply drag on a cheap reel.

  13. Just bought the Essential Collection (40 pack) as a thanks for putting this series together. I’ve been out on my own and with guides but still consider myself ‘new’ and have enjoyed the videos in this series. Much appreciated!

  14. That was way more than 10. But thank you, that was helpful. My husband is going to wish I was only shopping for accessories to go with a dress.

  15. I’m extremely grateful for this video! I watched bunch of other videos and read a lot of forums but no one explained everything about fly fishing as simple as you did. Thank you!

  16. Thanks for the tips!! I’m in Canada, surprisingly hard to find other young fly anglers up this way so it’s hard to learn this stuff

  17. Good guide! I’ve always been confused about different poles, what is the difference between a fast and slow action rod?
