Thanks for tuning into this double haul fly casting episode featuring our good friend, Flip Pallot!
Thanks for uploading this and sharing your knowledge passed down from an experienced fly fisher. This really helps getting the fly out there!
Can we all just admire how Brian lets Flip talk? Too many people on CZcams try to do an interview, and ask the interviewee questions just to run over them with babble. This is *Q U A L I T Y C O N T E N T.*
Thanks for watching!
Dylan, As I was watching, I noticed this too 😃 very proper 👏
And they actually sound very much alike.
Yeah you can tell he’s fanboying hard lol
It’s proof of true and honest respect
As a newbie, this is one of the most understandable hauling videos I've watched. Can't wait to use this method.
Thanks so much for being here.
The best explanation of the double haul I've seen in many years, thanks Brian and Flip.
Thanks for being here!!!
OK. That whole "rod under the arm" thing you did was BADASS! That's a freakin lesson right there. That really was the secret. I wasn't getting the haul correct, but when I stuck it under my arm, TOTAL GAME CHANGER! Thanks Brian.
Thanks for being here.
I'm not going to lie... at first, I laughed... and then... I stopped laughing lol. That was incredible!
I know you have heard this a few thousands times....but I have to give you a tremendous amount of credit for producing some of the finest and most professional series of 'How to videos' on ANY subject on You Tube. Continue to produce and excel on the 'wonderful world' of Fly Fishing. Well done Brian and Mad River Outfitters!
Thanks so much! We really appreciate the kind words. As long as folks keep supporting the shop, we'll keep making videos. Stay tuned and stay in touch.
The excellently illustrated double haul method and detailed explaination by both Flip and Brian is priceless. The rest is just plain hands on practice. Thank you Brian and Flip. I'm learning so much from this channel. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Brian is the bombdiggady and enjoy all episodes tremendously!! It's my GO-2 and thanks to all that make it happen..
@@RussDawson-d9k Thanks for being here.
I admire Flip SO MUCH. I remember watching him on TV as a kid. I've never met him and he got me into fly fishing. 20 years later I've taken that love to Montana, South Dakota, The Smokies, all over the Appalachian mountains, into some salt, and into the mud holes for carp. Thanks Flip. You're a little bit with me every time I hit the water, especially when something is peeling line like a tethered torpedo and my reel is singing the Hymn of Flip Pallot :-)
Pretty much universal in the angling world. We all love Flip. Thanks for being here and please stay tuned. Much more Flip to come!!!
Just when I think I'm doing okay, I find out I still need training wheels on my fly rod. Thanks for another great video.
Sprinkle this in and you'll be doing great. Just like Butter. Thanks for watching.
Training wheels. LOL.. How appropos!
😂😂 like many of us
The best explanation of the double haul I’ve ever seen. Great job Flip and Brian.
Wow thanks a ton for that. Happy to help and please stay tuned.
This channel is a must have for any "how to" questions.
This is without a doubt the best demonstration of how to double haul on the internet.
Thanks for watching!
Omg 1080p 60fps I see you! This is awesome, love the (ever) increasing quality. You guys rock!
Thanks so much for being here. Always keep improving eh?
@@Madriveroutfitters Certainly!
I have fly fished for over 50 years and had picked up some bad habits on double hauls, and was not good at it. After watching this video, I went to a park a couple of blocks away and started over from ground zero, following your helpful advise. After practicing for a couple of weeks, I finally got it, after all these years. I am much more accurate on floats, and can cast a greater distance on still waters I go on.
That is so great to hear! Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Kudos to Brian for amazing explanation of the double haul. This provides clarity for something that is abstruse and a bit counterintuitive. The practice tips were especially helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
This is the best fly fishing 🎣 video I have EVER seen. I have watched it at least 20 times this week. My wife almost has it memorized just sitting beside me listening. I was late 30 min for work because I watched it three times in the parking lot …. GREAT JOB!!!!
Thanks so much. We really appreciate it.
Thanks. I’ve fly fished for 60 years and this is the best double haul instruction I’ve received.
The key for me was watching Brian’s demonstration. You must keep the hands close together during the first part of the up and down cast. This allows you to apply the haul just as the wrist adds its action.
Thanks for all you do for fly fishing!
Thanks so much for watching.
Such a valuable lesson from the previous generation. His knowledge will live on, what a treasure.
Thanks so much for watching. Stay tuned….much more to come.
I’ve fly fished for 60 years. This is the best instruction on the double haul I’ve seen. One thing that held me back in hauling was left hand position between hauls. The hands need to be close together in the pick up and first part and the majority of both up or back cast and down or forward cast. This allows the haul to be applied just as the wrist applies its action at the end of each up and down motion. Look at Brian’s hand position. Hope this helps others like me who learned to haul without the benefit of expert instruction.
Thanks to you and all you bring to fly fishing!
Thanks for watching and happy to help! Stay tuned and stay in touch.
My god!!! At last, finally, one tutorial that explains not only the double haul but the line feed as well.
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Wow look at Mr Pallot , I use to love watching him in the chronicles when I was a kid loved that show . I love Florida , the keys , Sebastian, the Bahamas . I miss it , I’m going back soon. Just bought my first fly rod. And reel here in Reno , another year , I’ll be back there , but for now I’m gonna learn to fly fish.🙏
Thanks for watching.
This explanation and demonstration in this video is so good you don't even have to practice a double haul. After watching this you'll be able to just do it
Thanks for watching!
Finally!!! I can now say I understand the concept of the double haul. Showing how it super loads the rod and therefore getting more energy from the rod clears things up for me. Thank you both!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Finally, an explanation & technique that makes double hauling not sound impossible !!!
Thanks for watching.
Best explanation of this I've seen to date - and I'm left handed 😅
Thanks fellas.
Thanks for watching. Works....even if you are left handed.
Next time out I’ll be thinking “pull-ketchup!” In all seriousness this is an excellent tutorial on double haul. Thanks for the informative video.
Gonna have to do a spoof on that. Gonna get messy. Thanks for being here and thanks for watching.
This series of videos has completely revived my interest in fly fishing. Now I don't only know what to do but what not to do. Thanks Brian....
Happy to help and please stay tuned.
i used to think the double haul was totally unnecessary for trout too but once i got used to it, never went back. the improvement in accuracy and turning over long leaders went well beyond what i had imagined. adding a haul to my roll casts and steeple casts was a turning point in my fly fishing.
Thanks for watching.
I’m scratching my head wondering why I can’t cast more than 30 feet today, after watching this casually realising I haul on the way up, don’t catch up at the pause, then flick slack spaghetti down 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Brian, I’ll work on this now. Legend 👍
Thanks for watching.
That trick of doing it on the grass to the side just made it all make sense! Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
@@Madriveroutfitters its me who owes the thanks! I've been fly fishing for 35 years but always river fishing until a few years ago when I started spending more time on still water! A short rod on running water comes second nature to me but it seems that my experience has made me become complacent! It was only once I started to throw more over still water that I realised how much more there is to learn! It's kind of feels like im starting out all over again! Thanks for the help!
Good video, Brian. I enjoyed seeing Flip's explanation, and yours is also clear and focussed. The double haul is one of the most important things fly anglers can ever learn.
Thanks for watching.
Hi Brian, I have watched most of your videos. They not only enhance the physical lessons I have received (you do have to get out and practice after all.) The videos also expand and deepen the knowledge about flyfishing. Some videos, like about the double haul help me focus to get it right with helpful instructions you do not find anywhere else.
Thanks so much for being here! Will pass along to Brian for sure!!!
I have to say thank you for these videos. Your video explaining the casts as “upcasts and downcasts” made a world of difference for me and this video is going to help me a lot as well now to cast further. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks Brian, your tuition is extremely useful. Your tips and breakdown makes sense and it allows me to understand the micro basics of how to become a better caster. I am in Australia and everything you say makes sense. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad to hear that even folks in Australia understand him!!!! Stay tuned.
Thanks. Now I just need to get out and practice. You make it look easy peasy, like butter.
Thanks for watching.
This is a great video. I am just starting fly fishing but videos like this really help me out. I have bass fished for many, many years. I would almost rather cast a fly rod all day and not catch fish than any other type of fishing. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching.
You folks are AWESOME! This is where ZEN, and instruction, and angling , and knowledge come together. I will repeatedly watch.Thanks...
Thanks so much for being here....and yes, please stay tuned. Much more to come!
I was about to give up fly fishing because the cast was not working for me. Thanks to y’all’s video once i figured out how it should feel and got the coordination down I can cast to 30 yards easily and dare say even further. Even for short casts I double haul. I’m more accurate and use less energy. Thank y’all so much!!! I’ve only been at it for a few months, but the cast was killing me. Caught a few fish, but I know if I wasn’t in my kayak I could not shoot the line more than 20 feet. Y’all are life savers.
Thanks for watching and happy to help! Stay tuned.
Thanks for all the help guys. Always such great content from Brian and Mad River! We appreciate it very much.
Thanks so much for being here and please stay tuned.
What a legend this guy is, so much knowledge and experience that should every kid that starts to flyfish just take in. Thanks for the video, i hope this pandemic goes away soon so that my journey to United States finally happens. A visit to your shop is a must then. Take care and thanks for the videos once again.
So very true. It's an honor to work with him. He has done so much for Mad River Outfitters. Thanks for watching and we hope to see you soon.
I just started to “get” the double haul. One other plus I found out was it laid the line down straighter on the water
With more line speed, it doesn't run out of energy. Thanks for watching.
Brian I’m just taking up fly fishing and this concept of hauling I never knew existed.. I’m getting my first fly rod for Christmas and at 65years old I need all the help I can get ..thank you
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Thanks for the lesson Brian. Thanks Flip.
Thanks for watching.
Absolutely the best explanation and demo of the use of the double haul I've seen.
Been fly fishing for over 35 years and have learned a bunch from every video. Keep up the good work.
Tom
Thanks so much for watching and please stay tuned!
Hi Brian,
I am from Germany and flyfish for more than 30 years - mostly for trout and atlantic salmon.
I often watch your videos and like them not only for the content but as well for the way you present your videos.
Being a big fan of "Keep it simple ", it is a real joy to watch you teaching...
Keep on going, all the best for you and your Madriver-team.
Emil
Thanks so much for watching and please stay tuned.
@@Madriveroutfitters
Yes, I will. Nice stuff, Brian.
Thank you too be always with us even if we cannot go to fish for covid-lockdown.
But soon everything will be better
Thanks for watching.
A must watch video for all flyfishers. Thanks from down-under in NZ. Excellent.
Thanks so much for that. We appreciate you being here. Please stay tuned.
I just came back from a casting training by an EFFA instructor - he pointed to this video as the reference for the double haul - thanks and greetings from across the Atlantic
Thanks so much for sharing and for watching. Please stay tuned.
Dude, this was great! Thank you guys for continuing to produce useful, educational and entertaining content. Cheers.
Thanks for being here and please stay tuned.
Great lesson….I’d listen to Flip talk about balancing a check book! You were good too Brian
Thanks so much for watching. More Flip to come!
I don't think that I have ever heard that explained so well. Between you and Flip I may even stand a chance at learning to cast and haul correctly. Too bad I have to work tomorrow. I would much rather be practicing this!
As always, thank you for another great instructional video.
Thanks so much for being here!
You casting that well with your body is by far the coolest thing I’ve seen in a fly fishing video hahaha. And for someone who can’t double haul well, me, I greatly appreciate this advice!
Thanks for watching.
Brain: What an excellent description and demonstration. Thank you and Flip.
Thanks for watching. We appreciate it.
This is GOLD. As a new fly fisherman... i had no idea what to do with my left.... THANK YOU! Im going to go practice...
Thanks for watching and happy to help!
I watched Flip prove “the rod is an over-priced pointing tool” at a fishing show in Houston sometime around 2000. He took the tip section of a 4-piece rod and casted 100’ using a double haul. Every time I struggle to muscle a cast 60’, I think back to that day. Great videos. Thank you Flip, Brian and Mad River for putting these out.
Thanks for watching!
How is that even possible?? Im not calling b.s., but that doesnt seem physically possible
I’m going to give this a try tomorrow as I learned how to cast myself over 40 years ago and I still don’t think I’m doing it correctly. I also just told my wife that it’s ok to “break your wrist” a little while casting and she gave me an evil look……(I tried to teach her how to cast a few years ago and gave her a tough time about keeping her wrist stiff!) Great video….I can’t wait to start undoing my bad habits!
Thanks for watching.
Great video!
I love all the lessons we can learn from those who have done it many years and are willing to take time to pass on their love of the sport. Thank you!
Thanks for being here.
Another fantastic job teaching and a great guest!
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more Flip.....and a few other surprise guests coming up.
Incredibly useful video, I'm going to watch this one a few dozen times. I'll be calling the shop to see what is in stock!
Thanks for watching. The website shows all stock but of course, feel free to call anytime.
Thank you, Brian, just like butter. Love the term and the best description that I have seen for the haul. Pull catch up.
Pull ketchup? Thanks for watching.
What an incredibly important lesson! Thanks very much - and hats off to Flip Pallot!
Thanks for watching!!!!
Best ever double haul tutorial on CZcams!!! Thank you.
Thanks so much! We really appreciate that. Stay tuned....we have more!!!
Some golden knowledge for the left side of my brain. Thank you sir!
Thanks for watching and hope it helps.
Same here I got some knowledge too
WOW! You finally made it all come together for me. I've watched and seen a lot of "instructors" over the years (more than I care to mention) and they made it clear as mud but you turned the lights on! Thank You!
Thanks for watching.
Your videos are superior to any other on CZcams, hello from MT
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the kind words. Please stay tuned.
Most intuitive explanation. You're a great instructor!!
Thanks for watching.
This is the best video I've seen on the double haul -- love the detail given concerning the reason it's done and the mechanics behind it. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching. Glad we could help.
Great job, your vids really help. I just started fly fishing. I’m hooked! Before watching your vids I had a gazzilion snags and spent my entire time untangling line and climbing trees to retrieve flys. After practicing your common sense, easy to understand tips I now only have a half gazzilion snags and actually get my line wet. I got some great “nuggets” from you, like “throw the dart”, that were game changers for me. I’m using less effort, nailing an occasional cast and most importantly I’ve successfully rigged up, chosen the right fly, executed the presentation and legitimately hooked, landed and released some fish. Thanks! And thanks for being humble enough to pay homage to one of your teachers by bringing Flip on, that guy is a fly fishing treasure. Most CZcamsrs would pretend they were the only expert. You get Cred. I’m off to fish. I need to see if the fish I caught were just dumb luck, or if I’m actually starting to get it. Cheers and thanks for all your hard work. It is appreciated. KEV
Thanks so much for being here and for the kind words. Stay tuned!
Holy crap. I know how to double haul, but never used it as the driving force behind my cast. Tried that out today and it made a HUGE difference in fishing my 8wt. Now fishing my 8wt feels as easy as fishing my 5wt! My mind has been blown.
It IS the driving force behind ANY fly cast. Thanks for watching and happy to help.
I never understood the how or the why of the double-haul until now. Thanks. This is excellent instruction. I now know how to get started.
Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
Your videos are just great! Trying hard to be patient and not to give up at the moment and watching this fly casting series always helps me to get back on the horse and go out practicing. Thank you, cheers from Sweden!
Thanks for watching.
An excellent video. Can’t wait to practice. I know that you know, but your instructional video skills are priceless. You are an irreplaceable ambassador for fly fishing in my opinion.
Thanks so much. We greatly appreciate your words. Stay in touch.
I have been told so many things over about how to double haul and when. Lots of wind knots later. I just watched this and went out into my yard and practiced. I finally like I knew what it was supposed to feel like when doing it right. Thank you for a great video that you simplified enough so all that I needed to do was go out practice. Going to try sinking lines next weekend. 😂 you guys have a lot of great videos. Thank you for the work you put into them. It shows
Thanks so much. We are honored to help. Tips on casting sinking lines coming up! Stay tuned.
So nice of you to invite Flip on your show. What a nice treat.
Pretty great of Flip to join us!!! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed.
When I'm teaching students to fly fish, they often have these big ideas from what they've seen on TV and expect to only use it on large open rivers for 100' casts. I use this method on extremely small streams with light flies strictly because I can cast without these great big movements of the rod because my haul is what loads the rod, not me swinging it. Great video!
Thanks for backing us up here and thanks for watching. Stay tuned.
@@Madriveroutfitters Definitely, I love how straight forward and to the point you guys are. Very informative and not intimidating at all.
Probably the most important 17 minutes I've ever spent on studying the mechanics of the 2haul. I've been doing it ever since I started fly fishing last summer, but the explanation of the timing and physics have been enlightening. Had no plans to fish this weekend, but might just go to the ballfield and practice. Thanks...but I don't think I'll try that harmless cast more than once. I have neighbors.
Thanks for watching. We appreciate you being here and please stay tuned.
Just excellent clear points and so easy to understand the theory behind it all, excllent teaching as always, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so freely.
Thanks so much for being here.
Learning so much from your Videos and really appreciate them. I actually grew up on Mad river in Zanesfield but back then didn't trout fish. I now live in Georgia just a couple hours from Blueridge so been practicing. Thanks again for the lessons!
Thanks so much for watching and please stay tuned.
My friend and I have just started to really work on this. Thanks for the upload. Coming to your shop today for some of those fancy flies you sell.
Thanks for watching and for the support. Lots of fancy flies to be had at the shop.
Excellent! You've broken down the Double haul into understandable components. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome. Thanks for being here.
Bloody brilliant, Brian. Thanks to you, Flip, and your crew. Now I get it.
Thanks so much for being here. Thrilled to help. Please stay tuned.
Thanks MRO! I practice basically everyday, I like practicing on windy days, and in the dark, and sometimes even after a day of fishing..but you can always get better. I noticed Flips reel was at times almost reversed in his hand, I read that it helps lower resistance on the line during casting 🤔...guess I better get out there and practice that also! 😂 Y’all are absolutely the Best! Have a great weekend folks! 🎣
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned. More with Flip on the way.
Brian - As ever - a brilliant tutorial! Thanks from North Yorkshire... England.
Thanks so much for being here.
Great video Brian and Flip! I will practice as soon as it breaks 30. Degrees! I was taught to hammer down the pull and never thought that was correct. Smooth and even application. Perfect!!
Thanks for watching. Smooth and even.
FINALLY! Double hall explained so it makes sense to me! Great content 🙌🏻😎
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this fantastic instructional, simple and easy to understand! All novice casters would do well to watch this video. Great job!
Thanks for watching. We greatly appreciate it. Stay tuned and stay in touch. Much more to come.
Man to be out there with Flip! I grew up watching him on "The Chronicles". Between watching him and my dad, (wondering why I kept throwing out and immediately reeling back in live shrimp), is probably why I got back into fly fishing. Thanks for this video and I hope and PRAY Flip is doing good.
Thanks for watching. Flip is doing very well. Stay tuned as we have much more coming with him.
Thanks for sharing your fly casting knowledge with us
Thanks for watching.
Thumbs up, This is the best explanation of double hauling I've seen. I really like the practice technique at the end good stuff!!!
Thanks for being here.
Ever since I learned to double haul, it got so etched into my mind and form of fly fishing , I do it without even thinking.
As you should. Thanks for being here.
The most informative videos ever. Thanks Brian. Greetings from South Africa
Thanks so much for watching and please stay tuned!
Thanks Brian , EXCELLENT explanation of the double haul
Kevin , NZ
Thanks for watching. Stay tuned.
Ooooh. NOw I see what that's all about. Was so so so confused on why or how it worked. Flip's little example of how the tip loads up. Nice nice nice. Thanks man
Thanks so much for watching and happy to help.
You Sir, are an excellent teacher.
Thanks for watching!
Revisiting fly casting soon, hopefully i can get it more together and cast better. Really great information, ive struggled in the past, hoping to make improvement. I really didnt realise the importance of timing the haul and speed and also importance of the left hand.
My fly rods have been in the back of the shed too long. Next summer going to bring the fly rods to the forefront, and leave the baitcasters, and spinning reel rods behind. Always and forever admire good fly casting fishermen. Oh well hopefully i can get it half right and improve, then look half decent. Btw. Im in Rural country Australia. Watch videos from you, often. Keep up the channel, much appreciated from across the pond.
Thanks so much for being here.
@@Madriveroutfitters thank you for the excellent content and channel. Much appreciated. In valuable information too.
Appreciate ya much Flip and Brian!!
We appreciate you watching. Please stay tuned.
This is the ultimate demo. Thanks Flip!
Thanks for watching.
As always great instruction. I noted that Skip held his rod with the reel horizontal.
Thanks for watching.
What a beautiful video! Thanks for sharing with us, Msrs, Pallot and Flechsig. This episode is a gift!!! Awesome!
Thanks so much for watching!!!!!
I am booked for some salt water fly fishing so will be out on the lawn with this. As always brilliant
Thanks for watching and let us know if we can help further.
