The Nintendo switch sound when he puts his glasses on kills me every time 😂😂
Thanks for being here.
Really waiting for that book, I'm about at the end of my line. But seriously very good information, I'll have to give it a try. I also like the bell curve test. Keep the good stuff coming.
Johnny Lightning Thanks for watching. We’ll tell Brian you are getting impatient.
Great video Brian 👍🎣, When I tie my tipet line . I do a surgen knots , then a small amount of zap-a-gab . hasn't let me down , yet 😊😉
Andy K Johnson Johnson 🤙
Thanks Brian, I'll be building my own leaders soon. Looking forward to that video.
Stay tuned.
Mad River Outfitters is the leader book out yet? I’ve been looking in the store catalog and can’t find it. Also I’m trying to find more on leader building in the existing videos but there’s so much content! Thanks in advance from a novice fly angler trying to learn all I can from such a great source!!!
can't wait for the leader series... ;)
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
I've been building leaders out of Maxima and Amnesia since I read Harry Murray's book on smallmouth fishing 20+ years ago. Knot sense is a great product for coating blood knots, though I do taper it on to the leader material, with a nipped off tag of Chameleon.
Yes, it works very well. Thanks for watching.
I use tippet rings on all my leaders and find that knot sense works great on the ring.
Good plan. I've just started using tippet rings and really like them.
Thanks for watching.
As Sargent Shultz would saw "I see nothing, I seee Nothinggg". But it was funny. Three videos now.
Some things are best left unsaid.
Great info Brian!!! Thank you
Thanks for watching.
What’s up with the smoke rising from plant on your table? Am I seeing things? 🤪
We're looking into it. Could be some subliminal message or something? Not sure but we'll get to the bottom of it for sure.
Looks like humidity is to blame. At least that's the answer we are getting.
Oh thank heavens :/ I thought I was hallucinating :O
Have you published the video yet explaining the benefits of cutting the loop off the end of the fly line and using a nail knot?
Yes, look in the tutorials section. There are several.
Why do you make your own leaders to begin with? Is it to be more cost-effective or is there something that manufactured leaders don't offer?
Thank you
Both. Much more to come on this so stay tuned.
@@Madriveroutfitters You know I will! Thank you
Yeah, frickin $16-18 for a tapered leader. Flourocarbon.
How do you land a fish with a long leader without the line to leader connection passing your Rod tip?
Please send your questions over to Brian at the shop and he'll be happy to answer. admin@madriveroutfitters.com
Was wondering the same thing - Anything outside of roughly 12' I need to have fly line come in the guides
Great vid per normal! Love your stuff. A quick question can you use UV knot sense for a nail knot attaching backing to fly line. Just wondering if it works with backing as well. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions over to the shop and they will be happy to help.
I make my own European nymphing tippets.. orange, yellow, then fluorocarbon
Cool. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.
So I tie my leaders. I'm kinda new. What about a dab of krazy glue at flyline end?
It works but this stuff works better. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for a great video! One question. At ~6:32 in the video, you state: "When I'm fighting a fish, I'm never going to come past the end of the fly line. Ever." Referring to the leader to fly line knot going through your rod guides. I completely understand the desire to avoid the situation, but it occasionally happens to me; especially when attempting to fish 9 to 12 ft leaders on a 9 ft rod. That is why I primarily use 7.5 ft leaders. I consider myself an intermediate fly fisher. Do you have any tips on how to avoid having the end of the fly line pass through the rod guides while fishing longer leaders? Thanks.
Please send those questions over to the shop at admin@madriveroutfitters.com or give them a call. They will be happy to help.
@@Madriveroutfitters Will do. Thanks.
Can you include euro nymphing style leader in the custom leader video?
There will be a series of videos that correspond with his book. Stay tuned.
Why do you chop off the welded loop to tie directly?
RassiOutdoors Because it works better. A few other videos where he explains. Probably linked in the description?
I may have missed it but does these UV knots float decent? Do they flow thru the water without drag or much ripples or would it be best on streamers than dead drifts?
Please send your question over to Brian directly at the shop and he'll correspond there. He doesn't come around here much. admin@madriveroutfitters.com
If you don’t have the knot sense can you use the loon uv clear fly finish the thin?
No, it’s not flexible enough.
does knot sense work without a uv curing light?
Not really. For sure it's best to use a light.
Why do you chop of the loops?
Because in most cases they aren't needed. Much more to come on this so stay tuned.
Do you carry the yellow reel handle grip I see on the fly reel?
Yes, we do but not on the website just yet. He has a video coming out on it.
@@Madriveroutfitters Thanks. I'll watch for it.
Mary Konchar oops....sorry, they are on their website: www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-16362-knuckleheads.aspx
Why was your plant smoking?
4:00
Must be stray rays from the UV light? Not sure.
Is there a reason why the succulent is smoking at 4:00 ? hahaha
Not sure. Maybe it's hot?
4:02 to 4:08 the plant on the far right starts steaming lol.
Brophanity It’s the humidity in the room.
If youv werent a Loon dealer you would be selling xyz.
Adventures with Frodo Wow, brilliant observation.
