I am a guide at a fly fishing & hunting club. 90% of my clients have never seen a fly rod. Always looking for quick ways to get them casting and your videos are straight forward and concise. I am going to blatantly steal from you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching. Feel free to share.
You all are master at teaching all things fly fishing. I am forever grateful for the knowledge I have gained from this channel

Flick paint, flick paint. Throw dart, throw dart. Hammer nail, hammer nail. Wax on, wax off. Cast up, cast down.
You are indeed the Mr. Miyagi of the Midwest fishing world. Thank you Sensei.
Thanks for watching.
I love Fly Fishing! Just started, today was day 1 spent an he practice casting. I can't imagine what kind of addiction is otw after I catch my first fly fish
You are in for a fun ride! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for showing a newbie. Im just starting out fly fishing.
Thanks for being here.
Very novice fly fisher here
Bought what I assumed is a decent cabelas 8wt combo a few months back
Caught a few 3-4lb smallies Wading in my local river, goal is muskies by next year
Your videos have been immensely helpful in teaching myself proper technique, I still have a long way to go but I'm unsure on where I'd be without mad river.
Keep up the good work bud.
Thanks for that. Please keep us in mind for your future needs!
Awesome video. I have learned a lot from you and thank you for that. Thank God for our military. I am a disabled veteran. My son is in Iraq as I txt this. God bless you and your fly fishing.
Thanks for being here and thanks for watching. We appreciate your service and your son as well. Stay tuned.
@@Madriveroutfitters Sure will.
Just got my first rig today. Can’t wait to start practicing and catch my first fish.
Have fun and let us know how we can help moving forward.
@@Madriveroutfitters went out this morning for the first time after practicing yesterday afternoon. Caught 2 browns 1- 16” and 1- 19”, and 1 rainbow that was 14”. Idk if I’ll touch my spinning rig again.
I had a couple Doug Swisher VCR tapes when I started fly fishing. I remember the "Micro Second Wrist".
Thanks for watching.
2:42 "...just like you're hammering a nail..." That's what I was taught. You can't hammer well with only a wrist break and you can't hammer effectively without a wrist break. I find the timing is similar, also.
Exactly. Well said.
Nice! I found this wrist flick is very important for tight loops. I did it by accident a while ago but stopped after reading a lot on casting saying dont break the wrist. Ive changed to a more fixed elbow moving the rod roughly the 90 degrees with a wrist flick and its effortless to throw good loops over an okay distance of 60 odd feet.compared to the elbow sliding back and forth. Took much more effort for me. Maybe i did it wrong. Probably. Thanks for your videos.
james austin Exactly correct. Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Your videos are great. The only thing I'd like to see is the camera zoomed out more when you're talking about tight loop formation. Greetings from the UK! Keep up the amazing videos and content!
Thanks for watching!
Holy crap Brian; you fixed my creep!!!!!!! First cast 75 feet!
That's awesome! Happy to help.
I need this series but for spey
Coming! Stay tuned.
Fly casting video at the casting pond? Very nice
Thanks for watching.
To prevent you from breaking your wrist, you can place the butt of your rod into the cuff of your shirt. It works as well as the two mentioned props.
You'll notice that Brian rolls his sleeves up. Thanks for the input though.
@@Madriveroutfitters Yes, I noticed that Brain's sleeves were up. He can try my suggestion, the next time his sleeves are down. Cheers!
when practicing casting,should you practice with just the fly line,or should you have something on the end of it
Must have a tapered leader on the end.
Thanks dude 👍
Thanks for watching.
Ok. Question. You do this little tug when making both motions if your cast. Is that something we can add? Your line is two color, is the orange the weighted forward?
Watch further episodes of this series and your questions will be answered. That and feel free to contact the shop anytime with questions. Thanks.
Feel like those “loop assist” tools would give you more of a crutch opposed to muscle memory?
We find them useful in some situations to correct Chronic Abusers.
Will try to drop the fly rod immediately after the back cast, even if wading deep! 🤭
As long as you are making an "up" cast, the line won't come anywhere near the water.
When practicing fly casting in backyard, should there be a fly at the end of the line ?
Please send your questions directly to Brian at the shop via phone or e-mail and he will be happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Do you pull the line back with your left hand during the up cast?

You want to get good at the wrist break? Get a 9wt and head to the Salt Flats in the Gulf.
We leave on Saturday. See you there?
I'll be off the coast near San Antonio, TX
After watching for a few minutes I noticed in the repetition I could see a secondary "jerk" in the wrist as the line went from front to back (or backward). It made me wonder where relaxation comes into the picture, as I took it from that that you let the rod do the work and the wrist is just holding, and the work is in the elbow until the end when you relax the wrist and let the line drop on the water. Please make as much sense out of this as you can.
If you can send this over to Brian at the shop he'll be happy to help. Unfortunately, he won't see it here. Thanks.
Anyone see that fish jump at 1:43? Lol
Didn't notice it but thanks for pointing that out.
Why's is it so important to keep your thumb at the top of the grip?
Stuart McDonald Higher tip speed and more control over the tip. Watch the 1st few episodes as well as Episode 14 of Getting Started in Fly Fishing. He explains it well.
