    Hello, greetings, is there a way to listen to it in Spanish?

  4. @Frosty_WT on March 6, 2025 at 3:07 pm

    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

    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.

    Appreciate your sense of humor, very easy to watch, thanks 🙂

  7. @polishoskar2039 on March 6, 2025 at 3:10 pm

    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

  8. @Robert_thephotographer on March 6, 2025 at 3:10 pm

    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?

    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?

  11. @MarcTelesha on March 6, 2025 at 3:16 pm

    Two floatant. Gel and powder. If only one powder.

  12. @RobertBrophy-v1y on March 6, 2025 at 3:16 pm

    Hat….what about that…gorgeous, ridiculous, crooked hat? Is it a must have…just saying

  13. @kenb4685 on March 6, 2025 at 3:18 pm

    Gidday guys. As yet I don’t own any fly fishing gear, this video is real helpful. Thanks.

  14. @michaelbattin on March 6, 2025 at 3:19 pm

    thank you

  15. @boredatworkbro on March 6, 2025 at 3:21 pm

    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

  16. @banjohappy on March 6, 2025 at 3:22 pm

    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?

  17. @BudgetBonsai on March 6, 2025 at 3:22 pm

    Word! And that stealthy Great Blue Heron around 6:45 mark is excellent film making 💪🏻

  18. @auroraasleep on March 6, 2025 at 3:22 pm

    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.

  19. @notkeet on March 6, 2025 at 3:25 pm

    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

  20. @beecee777 on March 6, 2025 at 3:26 pm

    I’m offended!!! As a woman.. the only accessories I’ve ever spent $1000 on is fishing gear!!! 😂

  21. @Jo-xx2rd on March 6, 2025 at 3:27 pm

    Thx

  22. @Mrburns69420 on March 6, 2025 at 3:27 pm

    Whats the weirdest fly name youve heard

  23. @micahdean1856 on March 6, 2025 at 3:31 pm

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

  24. @FloodedAnt on March 6, 2025 at 3:32 pm

    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!

  25. @8ifoto on March 6, 2025 at 3:32 pm

    "questionable meat" was my nickname in college

  26. @nickesteban2200 on March 6, 2025 at 3:32 pm
