The slow motion seated casting sequence was a thing of beauty
Thanks for watching.
I will add that your online store has been a huge help and I am so glad to give e my business to you all.
We truly appreciate it!
I will say I found this channel by pure luck. I was searching for channels for my now 14 year old to watch and learn fishing techniques. He had shown interest in learning to fly fish and wanted to watch videos, better than dad showing him lol. But, as far as I’m concerned, I’m still a newbie at this. I’ve been fly fishing off and on the last few years. But decided this year with my son wanting to do it, I was going to concentrate solely on it. My goodness have these videos helped. As well as the email/phone conversations. Not having a fly shop within 2 hours of us, I have to rely on the emails or talking in the phone. One day I’ll make it the shop, but thank goodness you guys have an online shop.
Chasing Feathers Thanks a ton. We are glad to help and appreciate the support. Stay tuned.
Even 2 years later your work is helping others. Writing from central Florida, and thanks to you all I am getting started in fly fishing. Your service and help is unsurpassed.
Thank you!!!!
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words.
Called the shop yesterday asking line and leader questions for throwing big bass streamers and great info/customer service. I don’t have a local fly shop where I’m at in Texas but y’all will receive my business anytime I need something y’all carry!
Thanks Ty! We appreciate that. Feel free to call anytime, we love helping out.
About a month ago I found your channel. I've been watching almost all of them. They have helped get me started in a sport I thought was inaccessible, thank you very much for that. About two weeks ago I ordered a few leaders and a knot tool from you guys with the thought that I owed you at least that. Also got a sticker I slapped on my car as soon as I got it.
I'm in Maryland but through your awesome content and rad attitude, you've gained a costumer.
Thanks a ton Gavin. We really appreciate the support. Stay tuned.
Thank you as a kayak angler I am so glad you help others
Thanks for watching. Helping folks is what MRO is all about.
I live in north Idaho, and because of these videos and your help.... it’s the only fly shop I purchase from! Thank you for what you fellas do.
BREAKING LOAD Wow thanks a ton. We appreciate that.......it helps.
You guys are awesome! You have my business forever! Thanks for making me a great fly fisherman.
Thanks a ton. We really appreciate that.
Awesome video and great suggestion on the drill, can't wait to get out and practice!
Thanks for watching. Let us know how it goes.
Seriously! You guys are incredible! Such amazing content and the quality of the videos, production, etc. has wildly improved over the years. Keep it up, Brian and crew!
Thanks for watching, we appreciate the kind words. As long as folks keep supporting the shop, we'll keep doing these.
Thanks again for another great video. Keep em' coming!
Thanks for watching and stay tuned.
This video was gold. I picked up fly fishing a little over a year ago and these videos helped me a bunch when starting out. I also bought a nautilus reel from MRO in thanks for the videos you guys put out to the public. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a ton for watching and we really appreciate the business.
This was exactly what I was looking for.. thanks sooo much!
Thanks for watching.
After watching for a while and have of late bought goodies from your store. So thank you so very much for the semi free info,
Thanks for watching and for the support! We truly appreciate.
Thank you very much for directing me to this video. I sent you a email today asking about casting techniques from a float tube and this helps a lot! Appreciate it
Thanks for being here. Someone should answer your e-mail shortly if not already. Questions always best to the shop, as Brian always states.
Just bought myself a new kayak to get to some of those less traveled fish holes. Super excited that I can get out there and fly fish on it too!
Thanks for being here.
Great explanation, thanks !!
PRACERZ Thanks for being here.
Awesome work Brian 👍🤙🇺🇸

Lambert Saldi Thanks for watching.
11:04. I really like that you left that in.
You are building my confidence to get into the sport, my Grandpa was a childhood hero of mine and fly fished in Scotland every year. I never got the chance to fish with him and now I’m fast approaching 50 I’d like to honour him with learning to fly fish. Thanks again for the videos. Not sure how practical buying from you guys is as I live in the middle of Canada.
Thanks for watching. We do a ton of business in Canada. We ship there every day. It's easy.
My experience buying my first rod online with MadRiverOutfitters was excellent. I for one am a customer for life
Thanks for the support. We appreciate it.
I'm a new Sub. I found u when I asked CZcams for some fly fishing info. Your channel covered the screen! Superb content and knowledge shared on every vid I've seen. Ty
Thanks for being here and please stay tuned. Just getting started.
Very well said. I've made two phone calls and several emails. Each time I have received expert advice on gear from who ever I spoke with. Never pushy to buy the most expensive products just honest opinions on what equipment should work best for me. I have made four orders from them so far and will be a dedicated customer for life. If you're looking for solid instruction and advice do yourself a favor and call Mad River.
Thanks a ton Matt. Just made our day! Please stay in touch and stay tuned.
That's way I But my regal vice from you support the cause Thank you for all the videos
Dane C We appreciate that. Thanks!
Excellent video, I fish from the bank or wade , but , I think this exercise will be good practice for regular casting practice
Thanks for watching. Same applies to roll casting.
As alWays another helpful video thanks
Thanks for watching.
Lately I have found MRO to be more on the ball than some of the competition as far as getting orders out. Good job, guys!
Thanks for the support.
Funny. I was listening to these Q&A videos in the background while typing a Q&A email to you to ask about kayak fishing! My set up is a sit in type Kayak where the water level is at about belly height. I assume, the difference will be that I need to keep my elbow up higher than someone on a sit on top type that is higher above the water???? You really have covered so much information in these videos. Thank you for that! I am just getting into fly fishing and your videos are a huge help and resource!!! So far, I'm just at the practicing in the back yard phase, and the only thing I've caught so far is a 38 lb Yellow Jerk-Fish (Labrador puppy) who likes to chase the fly line (No fly on the leader)! BTW, funny #2 (your editorial comment), I did make a small order from your website earlier today to try and say thanks for all of the efforts you guys put into these videos. I will definitely be looking to you guys if - when I get better and start upgrading. But again, THANKS!
Sonny Willier Thanks for the support. Any questions feel free to call or email the shop.
This is the first time I heard "double-haul"! I'm ready to run outside and try this out.
Gotta do it.
Be careful with what you do Brian, I wouldn't want OSHA putting out fines on you! Definitely support you by buying from your shop! You guys are awesome!! Waiting for the Redington 10' 7 wt rod to become available!! Steelhead fishing is fast approaching here in Ashtabula, I'm on the wait list!! Great video.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!
There is definitely value in your videos. I'm in the market for a few things and will purchase from you. Thanks for the useful content.
Thanks a ton. We'd appreciate the business.
@@Madriveroutfitters What would you recommend for an 8wt sinking line for pike streamers? Mostly 5 inch hollow tied buck tail and some larger 6-7 inch articulated hollow buck tail streamers with fish skull heads.
I should add that I mostly will be fishing a smaller shallow river and a shallow lake.
Send this over to the shop at admin@madriveroutfitters.com or give a call at 614-451-0363 and they will help there. Thanks
I find with been so close to the water that the fly hits the water when the line it fully extended on overhead casts. I tried using a single handed rated switch rod (trout spey), trout spey line, a spey cast with two hands and anchor just in front of me. Game changer for me fly fishing in the kayak.
Thanks for watching.
A fellow Bendite haha!
Showin' you Oregon folks some love in this one haha! 🤙
I like those grey and blue shoes with the classic sole, do you guys sell those? what are they? Great video, thanks!
Thanks for checking with us but you'd have to contact Brian directly through the shop. We have no idea what shoes he wears.
It's a Simms Challenger boat shoe.
Just curious, doesn't the distance from the fulcrum point to the water line cause an impact to casting? I love what this exercise showed but if you're sitting in a ladder, your fulcrum point is just as high above the water line as if you were standing. When sitting in a kayak your elbow might be less than a foot from the water which is where I anticipate issues. But let me emphasize I am brand new to fly fishing and have not actually tried this, just trying to wrap my head around it
Thanks for watching. You'd have to send technical questions like that over to Brian at the shop via e-mail or phone. He'll be happy to expain and help.
Do you keep the same stroke for saltwater?
The stroke never changes.
I fish from my wheelchair sitting down. Before I was injured I could cast into my backing, now I cannot get out more than 70 ft effectively.
Jeromy Nall That shouldn’t be the case. Give Brian a call at the shop and he can surely help figure out why.
I'm curious, and it might not be something you folks actually want to discuss, but have you seen an appreciable sales uptick since beginning the video series? I'd hate to see these go away because they aren't sustainable.
Beyond sustainable....thanks. We aren't going anywhere. 30 years in the business and we're just getting started. Stay tuned!
I am paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair. I practiced your tip in the yard today and seem to be doing a bit better. I'm going to try to get to the lake tomorrow to try it on the water. One of my biggest problems being in a wheelchair is managing excess line. It frequently gets caught up on wheelchair parts. Any ideas on how to minimize this problem.
Put a stripping basket on your lap. In my small kraft I do that on the seat beside me. When I'm in my float tube I strip on top of the stipping mat which is over my lap. Hope that works for you.
...thinking you probably don't need a special stripping basket. Large tupperware container that is shallow enough not to get in your hands way while casting but wide enough to hold your line
@@rsantos627 Thank you, I'll try it out. I'm new to fly fishing so I'm trying to get it all sorted.
@@wayneb1597 enjoy the journey! It quickly becomes a passion... Then an obsession!
Glad to hear it’s helping. Keep practicing. Sounds like trying to keep it in your lap is a good idea.
I fish out of my kayak all the time, although mine is stable enough that I stand up in it and often treat it like a stand up paddle board. Have not rolled it yet, although I know its just a matter of time. Will have to try the seated technique.
Only move your body from the elbow up and that will prevent you ever rolling the kayak. Due to fly casting that is.
Huge butter.
Huge. Yes.
Where in New Mexico?
Not sure what this question refers to? You can call or e-mail Brian at the shop though and he'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks.
Your trip to New Mexico to fish. So sorry. Love your videos.
Hmm, fly fishing from a papasan... You might have something there.
Richard Carroll Stay tuned. A whole new series is born!!!!
I wish there was an "I love this" button.
We're talking with CZcams to see if they will add. Thanks for being here.
