    The fact that the little girl was grabbing the bass by the mouth and releasing it and I still squeel like a stuck pig whenever I have to touch a fish gives me much deserved shame.

    When I started a hundred years ago, the 3 best pieces of advice I received were: 1) If you can roll cast, you can catch fish. 2) Get your hands wet. Turn over some rocks. 3) Get and keep the fly in the water. Only a couple of false casts and retrieve at a speed that matches the bug’s natural movement.

    I have to thank my dad for the last 50 years of teaching me to fish… He gave me his monster fly rod 30 years ago and I never looked back…. ๐ŸŸ

    I feel like I just found an old dusty VHS-fishing tutorial at my grandparents lake-lodge that they remted from their local fishing-store fourty years ago but forgot to return.

    What an absolute gem of a video. Unbeatable cozy vibes and super informative. Much love from Sweden!

    I’ve watched tons of videos because I want to get into fly fishing and this one has by far been the most informative. I feel so relaxed about it now and prepared to take a step into it. I’m also positive that I will be buying an Orvis fly fishing combo because of how much effort this company puts into their customers.

    I love to fish, and my 14-year-old grandson does too. We love trout fishing, but use spinning gear. We’re gonna learn fly fishing together. We don’t have anyone to guide or teach us, but we’ll finger it out. It’s going to be fun.

  23. @crashdown45 on March 5, 2025 at 12:13 am

    This is really well made, way to help give visibility into the real learning curve

    The wonderful thing about learning to fly fish. It is like skiing or golf it takes time. You do not complete it on a vacation or holiday. Certainly, you can go to a river or lake, on the shore or on a boat, with a carbon fiber rod and weight forward line or a willow pole and a grasshopper.
    Unlike skiing or golf, fly-fishing and your expertise can be the basis for a grand dinner. And, it can be the adjunct for packrafting, camping or a travel vacation. You can tie flies in the winter in preparation for summer fishing. You can also build rods and follow the sport with meetings and gatherings or commit to extensive trips in search of the fish who are hungry for your creations.I prefer and have dedicated my time to floating freshwater rivers in a blow up boat with dry flies. Probably the highlight of my fly fishing ventures was hiking into the Bob Marshal wilderness in Montana with my two friends. We made our plans in 1974 for our trip in August. We hiked 30 miles into Big Salmon Lake and down to the South Fork of the Flathead River and floated out to the head of Hungry Horse Dam in four days. We did a river float every August for 10 years on the Blackfoot and Swan.
    Living in Issaquah Wa, I typically fished the Snoqualmie River at least twice a week in the summer and later, living in Eugene OR, I fished the Willamette and Mackenzie. My job as sales engineer with the Pacific NW for a territory allowed me evening visits to the; St Joe, Coeudelene, Spokane, Rock Creek, Madison, Clark Fork, Fish Creek, Columbia and Deschutes.
    Today, at 88, fly fishing is a cherished memory. I have my box I built with everything I need to tie all kinds of "bugs" I have my Loomis IMX rod I built with special reel seat and my gunny sack creel. I do not fish anymore because I will not risk my two titanium knees on moss covered boulders or river banks and I do not have the energy it takes for fishing. However I have the memory of floating down a river canyon with nothing to do for days but float, fish, camp on sand bars and enjoy a fish dinner and night cap around a campfire with friends and the thrill of nature.

    Pikes a warm water fish? I’m either dumb or he’s wrong and fishing is his whole life so why was I thought pike are cold water and why aren’t there any pike here in Nashville???

  31. @titmit6251 on March 5, 2025 at 12:26 am

    I’d love to learn to fly fish, it looks so fun and interesting. Sadly I live in Western Australia and there aren’t very much options here for fly fishing locations

    Tom Rosenbauer’s books and podcast were my start in fly fishing and I am forever grateful. Thanks, Tom.

    Thank you for the awesome video! Really made me realize how easy fly fishing is. I was always intimidated by it but excited to give it a try!

    Fly fishing IS easy to learn.. If you didn’t grow up fishing in the gulf on the ocean. For those of us who have grown up fishing (I’m 49) we have to entirely reprogram our fishing brains. Literally everything is backwards in fly fishing that that of open water or bass fishing.

    I went fly fishing and for some reason these perch or something were schooling together in small groups all over the reservoir. I threw my fly all around them and even on them. I didnโ€™t change my fly and now I wonder if I woulda had luck of if I did

    I now realize, to learn effectively, I need someone to pretend Iโ€™m 6. Then, theyโ€™ll explain in in a clear, easy to understand manner, like this fella! ๐Ÿ˜‚ What a great teacher! ๐Ÿ‘

    I was recently gifted an old Fenwick 108-10 Rod. Could this still be used to catch small to medium sized fish like bass and trout?

    I just caught a big tuna using this technique. Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜‚

    I recently inherited my grandfather’s fishing gear but haven’t been fishing since I was a kid. Looking forward to getting out there.
