Throw a T&T in there.

The tug is the drug haha 🤙🏽🎣

I went back to review some of your old videos yesterday and saw you were active on CZcams again. I have just watched your latest three and am very hopeful that you will post more. Publishing one video a week was a very high bar. I hope that your recent hiatus is a temporary thing. I would love to see more of your and Will's summer fishing adventures. Quiting your jobs and hitting the road was a very gutsy move and getting a CZcams channel going strong is not easy. Also, I understand that life sometimes gets in the way of heartfelt plans. No matter what, I hope to see more from you and wish you well. You are a gifted creator.

I hope you can ignore any negatives. I think you have a channel with tons of potential which already is very good.CZcamsrs always get some haters, it sucks but is a reality. Your authenticity and enthusiasiam had me smiling many times. Keep up the good work!

Great to see you back! You have a truly winning personality and shoot "down home videos" that are a breath of fresh air compared to most highly edited fishing channels.

Great video. Well done

Why the hell do you pronounce the last words of a sentence moaning?

Great info thanks for sharing

Isn't that drive around the bottom of Chicago lovely! lol

love your content, the videography is top notch guys. fly fishing is one of my biggest hobbies. New sub!

Nice video fishing in my home waters. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one to experience the frustration of the upper Delaware system. Did you call your dog Bobo? I had a dog named Bobo, short for Bozeman.

Great video really think you highlighted the marginal gains by spending a fortune on equipment. The only parameter i think that's missed is presentation, and to be fair its a very difficult parameter to measure as its subjective. Its possibly the most critical with these light 3wt rods, but having fished lots of rods im going to wager the difference is not significant enough to warrant the difference in cost. Great job i will be liking and subscribing.

I love your setup

Living the dream.. Dare to go where most just dream of!

Awesome Video. Reel people Reel content!! What is that rod you use, its been in most of your videos I think.

In my experience, I've used some Sage, Orvis, Fenwick and Reddington rods, all borrowed. I'm now throwing a Douglas Era 9ft 5wt. I am a very new fly fisherman and I absolutely adore it over everything else I've thrown. I am casting further and more consistent. I started being able to reliably throw nymphs, something I've never done effectively before. I really like Douglas - I strongly suggest them. They keep their prices quite lower for the quality they're outputting - they avoid a lot of nonsense bells and whistles and don't worry about pure cosmetics (color, artistry). They're putting rods out there that are effective, affordable and user friendly.

11:10. Use better fish handling practices. 1. Net 2. Wet hands. 3. Use the rod to bring the fish in instead of hand lining the fish in. Can’t wait for you to lose the fish of a lifetime because you don’t have a net and try to land a fish like that.

PS. This is how we do it in Norway: czcams.com/video/440jjZKMq7M/video.html 👍😃

In the past you needed to pay for good tackle. However, technology has improved and now you can get good gear at reasonable price levels. Good job on this piece of work.

I almost asked if you were going to film this trip. So glad you are. Can't wait to see your adventures. Best of luck.

That looks like a great river for soft hackles. Did you try any? I’m a master at replacing broken boas. The new boots like nice but get a boa repair kit and fix em around the campfire next time. 😏

🤭

Beautiful river! Nice to see a film from you again! 👏👍😃

Glad to see you making videos again! Love the SHORT BUS. lol

Great video! I need me a magic bus like that one

I have the maxcatch extreme 3wt, I own about a dozen fly rods and this is one of my favorites

I miss your reviews !

Not shocked! I have 3 rods from maxcatch, 2 glass 1 graphite and they perform the same as rods that cost 2-3x as much. Great video!

great video!!!

Anyone else thinking of Lena Paul while watching this?

I personally find the mid range rods are the best. Like a tfo professional or a Redington classic trout

My 3 wt rod is an older Winston 8ft IM6. I mainly fish small er waters with it here in Montana. I Love it. When I fish the Missouri I use my Orvis 9 ft 5wt. George in Montana

Now time for 2 handed rods shootout

Awesome review! What fly line did you use?

I’m a custom rod builder and agree with this statement as buying a cheap 3/4 wt fly rod & even a fly reel is a wise decision 👍, 6wt & up I definitely build custom fly rods

i’m 70 years old, been fly fishing for sixty years, i’m not used to a girl talking about fly rods and fishing, but you had me listening intently. i’m dang near convinced to pick up a Maxcatch no.3 since i’ve wanted to try one for years. thanks for the shootout

Maybe you can try the new Mustad Heritage hooks and tell us what you think (they have a new high tech coating and the narrower Alpha point). We have had a difficult time finding any customer reviews on those. I read somewhere that Mustad is phasing out the Signature series in favor of these new hooks.

I have an Aetos 6wt and it really is an amazing rod, especially for the money. But since it is relatively inexpensive the cork is wearing down really fast. Nice review!

Imagine paying so much money $$$$$ for a rod that barely performs over a $$ spinning rod. Might as well stick with the inexpensive fly brands.

Maybe learn to cast before doing a rod review 😅

I enjoyed this video - thank you - and would love to see more in the same vein. I have a Hardy Ultralight SR 8ft 8in 4wt (the range that replaced the Zephrus) and experienced exactly the same issue you describe of running out of steam as distance increases. That is emphasised by a somewhat overweight line such as my SA MPX which is built a half size heavy. My SR rod does much better at distances over say 40 - 45 feet with a true 4wt line and even better with a DT 4wt silk line. I'm looking for a 10ft 4wt to use for nymphing and will take a look at Maxcatch - they seem to offer excellent value for the money.

Really cool video! I'm kinda new to fly fishing so this was really helpful

Great video

Buy for the type of fly fishing conditions your going to fish in. 99% of my casts are under 30 feet. So I use a 7 foot rod I bought in 1980. That's real value.

I picked up a Douglas Sky G 6 wt last year, and it is hands down the best fly rod Ive ever fished with, and by a significant margin. I liked it so much i got rid of my Helios 3 5 wt and replaced it with a Sky 5 wt. The finish isnt quite as nice as my Loomis or Orvis rods, but they are so incredibly light casting and crazy accurate. There's just nothing I'd rather cast all day. They are effortless. The 6 wt is so stupid accurate at 50 ft and makes easy double hauls out past 60. It casts pretty easily out to the backing. I now own Sky G 5, 6, and 8 wt rods. I've fished with the old Sky, and it was great, but the Sky G is a trout murder machine.

I enjoyed your work here, very much. TY!!

How you guys hunting nh opening day were there is cut corn I wish they cut corn that early we’re we are!

Very good quality for the cost. Great shipping tube that can be used for transporting the rod for trips. Highly recommend!

Love this.
