What rod is that
That’s rad
Great tips!
My gramps just gave me his fly rod he's had since he was a youngin. Thank you for the tips, I had no clue what I was doing
I was given the grace of the fishing Gods in finding a fly rod and reel on the shore, its case was absolutely wrecked but the inside was perfect, it was covered in bird poop
Started fly fishing last year. Working on my casting. But how do you keep the line from getting curled from storage or how do you get it straight again? If this makes sense?
I haven't fly fished since my early 20s and my grandfather just gave me his own fly rod.. This video was a great little refresher for me. Cheers bud
great info,thank you very much
I wanting to learn and live in Lubbock Tx and geez we are limited on water, thanks for some tips.
Only 9 minutes and I've learned so much 😁great video
You shouldn’t rig your rod up till your get down to the river….the best spot to start fishing is wayyy back there before you actually get up to the river 😂
I live in Sylva, NC where lots of folk come to fly fish in the swift-moving rivers. The biggest issue I see is that some people fly fish down stream. Like, literally cast down stream the entire time they are I'm the water. There's a time and a place to cast down stream, but it should be a unique, rare situation.
Great tips for us beginners. Ty 😊
It’s Chris Nichols from the Camera Store!
Glad I watched your vid. I saw a couple bad habits I can address right away. thanks!
Let me preface by saying I've never fly fished before but the first two tips apply to all fishing. Absolutely spot on!! Don't prerig your line, for the most part you have no idea what the water looks like or what to tie on until you see the water. And #2, fish the bank before crashing into the water. Wonderful advice, I do both with spinning gear.
Lol. My first thought was I clicked another camera review. This video was great though.
WAIT A MINUTE. CHRIS DOES FLY FISHING VIDEOS TOO?!?!? I thought he only did photography videos for the Camera Store and Petapixel!!!
I’ve watched this one three times, before buying my fly kit, after buying, and today(6 months later). Thx for the tips, now I’m fully understand.
Just bought my first fly rod so this is very helpful.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks man first timer here loved the casting tips I was doing nearly everything you said not to do 😅😅 Aweaome
Where’s Jordon?
What a great intro, luv it, learnt a lot. Thank you
I like you 😊
thanks kris
What camera did you use 😉 haha
Over and above bad casting patience was / is still my biggest challenge as a novice. Realising how NOT to rush and spook trout, learning to wait and spot them before blind fishing and when you hook up don’t strike like a maniac and wrestle them to the net. Still loosing 3 – 1 with those bad habits.
Thanks, really like that type of info that focuses on the subtle details others leave out.
Feel like i just learned some fly tips from Al on home improvement
