@@ptyeueiiwjd Have a hat and a fly box heading your way! Thank you, Arron 🤙
I’m just getting into fly fishing. Your videos have helped me out so much! Thank you
I can listen to him talk about fly fishing all day long
Thanks but let's not get him started. He won't stop.......we need him to work at least a little instead of talk.
@@Madriveroutfitters 😂
That’s hilarious and yeah, I wish I could hang out with this guy. He is definitely doing what he should be doing, he is great at it.
me too! even though I have no idea what he's saying lol
These are seriously the best! Cannot thank you enough. Your answers are so consistent and simplified that it's easy to learn from you.
Thanks so much for watching and happy to help.
Thank you! After all these years, I finally found your great videos on flyfishing on CZcams and I am learning quite a lot. Wish that I had looked before on CZcams.
We've been waiting for you. Welcome aboard.
Thanks for the help through your videos and products I've recently ordered. I've been fly fishing and tying off and on since I was 13 (now 65) when my great uncle took me up to Hat Creek and the Fall River in Northern California where he had fished most of his life. After his and my aunt's passing years ago, I inherited their bamboo rods both hand-made by Winston in San Francisco. To say the least, they are a treasure. Thanks to you guys and persistent local shelter-in-place orders, I'm enjoying a rebirth of tying and will be hitting some favorite locations again when possible. There's a lot of junk on CZcams in regards to fly fishing and tying. Didn't take more than three videos for me to subscribe to your channel as your presentations are professional, intelligently and thoroughly presented, and I take away something new with each topic. Keep up the good work. I'm sure I'll be ordering more stuff. And thanks for bringing me back to life!
Wow....what an honor! Thanks for being here and please stay in touch. We appreciate the kind words and the support.

Mad River Outfitters is awesome! An informative youtube channel with an honest and highly experienced instructor. Not only will you receive detailed and applicable information regarding the sport, but also a direct link to one of the best-equipped fishing outfitters. Their online shop has a large selection of reasonably priced gear and is an excellent source for all angling needs. Moreover, they have the best customer service that I’ve ever received.

@@stanreedy2686 It’s an honor! Thanks again.
@@Madriveroutfitters just curious do I use my fly line conditioner on my new Rio Perception
Your channel has helped me a ton. My father was an endorsed fly guide for over 25 years but he passed away and me being a dummy didn’t show much interest in fly fishing until after he was gone and I regret not picking up more of what he knew but here I am
Glad you are here and thanks for watching.
@@Madriveroutfitters thank you I appreciate all the info my wife and I have been watching your videos all day lol
Thanks, this was a really good explanation of how to rig the various lines for trout. As you know, but some of your less experienced fly fisher viewers may not, there are additional approaches often used for top water fishing for species such as bass, and various approaches used for salt water fishing, such as bone fishing on the flats. I really enjoy your channel and I never cease to learn something useful from your videos.
Appreciate you being here. Stay tuned and stay in touch.
Really helpful again. It's got to be the go to site.
Thanks for watching.
Like Christ spoke with authority in the temple, I appreciate the conviction with which you speak regarding your subject. As far as I’m concerned, you are the authority on fly fishing. You demonstrate, diagram and break it down for us beginners. Thank you.
Thanks for watching. He loves what he does! That’s for sure.
Very educational. I will try nymphing tomorrow.
Patrick Anlauf Thanks for watching. Let us know how it goes!!
Gah, I appreciate you so much right now.

You guys are the best!
Thanks for watching.
I really enjoy using my 8wt to target hybrid striped bass. If it wasn't for these videos I wouldn't have figured out how to even use large heavy flies. Love the videos
Thanks for watching.
Another great video!
Thanks for watching!!!
Learning a lot from your channel many thanks
Thanks for being here! We really appreciate it.
These videos have to be some of the most educational videos on CZcams. I haven't found anything else with such simple, easy to understand instruction and detail! I've been fly/spey fishing now for almost 3 yrs, multiple days a week, and I wish I would have found these videos sooner! Would have saved me a lot of trial and error😂😂😂😂👍. Def whatching evey single one.
Wow....thanks a ton. We appreciate you watching and please stay tuned.
@@Madriveroutfitters Absolutely! Keep it coming! I'm sitting down with a good scotch and spending the rest of my day off becoming a better angler! Cheers!
As a British man as soon as a hear howdy friends it’s an instant like 😁👍
We’ll thanks so much for that. He says it a lot!!!
Wow, great information

Great stuff!
Peter Ballin Thanks for being here.
Nice job 👍 thanks again 🇺🇸
Thank you. Stay tuned.
Very helpful!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Keep up the good work! Q&A and getting started series are excellent. Could you discuss furled leaders sometime and their advantages disadvantages over traditional leaders?
Thanks for watching and stay tuned. Alot coming on leaders to go with the launch of the book.
I've been using leaders and tippet all wrong. Just using dry fly leaders and tying on nymphs and woolly buggers!
Most people do. Glad you know better now.
SO helpful! Thank you!😃
Thanks for watching.
@@Madriveroutfitters it's so much more than that! I'm hooked! LOL
Great video
Thanks for being here.
Thanks Brian!
Thanks for being here!
Thank you you helped me soooooo much man
Thanks for being here.
I wish you would have been doing video’s 15 years ago . You’ve made it simply and cut all the bull$hit out. Nymphs have been my go for years , and streamers have been a go to in October .
You da man Madriver
He was! His first videos came out in 1999! On VHS actually. 22 years and counting. Thanks.
Welp I'm like 20 videos in this morning, an this pushed me over the top. Im going fishing 🎣
Glad to hear it. Have fun and stay tuned when you get back.
@@Madriveroutfitters have you considered chasing bowfin with a fly rod? I live on the tallapoosa river/little tallapoosa river, (west Georgia) and they run the water this time of yr here. I'm having trouble landing them, I usually have a steel leader, is there like a fly fishing version of that? Sorry if it's a dumb question.
Great info thank you for these do you ever throw weighted streamer jigs on a fly rod ? Or would that mess up the cast?
Sure, we use weighted flies all the time.
thanks for the advise.
Thanks for watching.

Never get rid of Brian
I love his voice, his info, and personality
He’s my favorite CZcams and he’s awesome
I love the other people, but Brian is my favorite
I’ll be sending my questions through the email
Pretty sure we couldn't get rid of him if we tried. Actually we have and he won't leave. Thanks for watching.
Hello Brian.... I want to say your videos are great and very informative... This video in particular is a wonderful simplistic understanding of the various stages to engage a novice or anyone to trout fishing... I would like to know what hooks to choose.. I have several brands and sizes, mostly all barbless..... many different ... is the quality of the material inferior one to another... trying to keep it simple and affordable.... Thanks Brian
Thanks for watching. Give a call or an e-mail to the shop and they will be happy to help you out.
thank you so much!
Thanks for being here. Stay tuned.
@@Madriveroutfitters maybe I missed it, but could you please do a video on how to find fish? What tools you use? What you look for? I've done a lot of googling, searching through forums, google maps, but when I get to the river I have a hard time catching. Thank you
Yep you guys need a podcast
We'll get there. Need to figure out what a podcast is first though.
A loyal subscriber to the channel, you had mentioned that there are other channels on CZcams that we should listen to. By any chance could you throw out some of their names my direction. Thank you for all that you are doing for the community.
Emilio Please contact Brian directly through the shop. He’ll get back to you there. admin@madriveroutfitters.com. Thanks.
I am finally starting to get back into fly fishing. It’s been about 13 years since I’ve gone but your videos have helped me understand a lot of issues I’ve ran across. I’m looking to buy my first setup this spring. My question is what’s a good rod weight and action to mainly go for trout but still be able to handle some smaller smallmouth bass? I’ve been looking at a 9’ 5 or 6 weight. What would you recommend?
drkslider1182 Thanks for being here. Please contact the shop directly and they will be happy to help you out.
Great video. Unless I’m mistaken you said you use sinking lines for most of your streamer fishing but then also referred to a sink tip line. Do you use full sinking line or sink tip most often for streamers ?
ecksdog He said he uses “Kelly Galloup” style sink tips most often but it depends on the water. He also said to give him a call at the shop and he’d be happy to discuss.
Mad River Outfitters thanks again.
Ecksdog, thank you for asking that question as I was also confused as he did say he uses a "sinking line" 99% of the time with streamers and other times he used the term "sink tip". So I also thought he meant a full sinking line was mostly used. A very good guide I fish with in New York does use sinking lines (often 200 grain) all of the time with streamers in fast and high water.
When building a streamer rig could I tie a tippet ring to the butt section and extend the rest of the rig from there? What I am thinking of doing is cutting the loop off my sinking line and tying a permanent butt section with a tippet ring on it. I am thinking of a nail knot to connect the end of the fly line to the butt section. I have a section of river nearby that the huge browns congregate under the spillway of a lake dam and I want to throw streamers at them :-)
Sounds like a decent idea. I'd give Brian a shout at the shop via e-mail or phone and he'll be happy to discuss. admin@madriveroutfitters.com or 614-451-0363. Thanks.
Newbie question here. What size split shot are you using? And/or are you selecting a size based on the flow of the water. Go heavier if you are fishing for trout in flowing water. Lighter if you are fishing for bluegill on a pond or lake.
Please e-mail this over to the shop and they will get you an answer there.
For nymphing, what are your thoughts on “sink-it” versus using split shot. Is it any good?
Not familiar with that. We'll stick with split-shot.
Would be nice to see a rig rundown for carp.
Here you go:

I have successfully targeted Carp, Pike, Walleye, Perch, Largemouth, and my most favorite of all species, the Smallmouth Bass with the flyrod. I have used floating, sinkng, and intermittent lines. I actually have even used use small crank bait lures used in a " chuck and duck" technique to much success! I learned my craft by attending fishing expos and watching Dave Dalhburg, Lefty Cray, Joe Umphrey, Harry Murphy, Bob Clouser and Leo Pachner tie, cast and present their personal ideas about the art. I then applied their technique and concepts to my river. I fish the Kankakee River in Illinois. It was a world class Smallmouth Bass fishery, now sand from Indiana has wrecked parts of the river. But 50% is still good. I lost my fishing partner 7 years ago to Parkinson's. He and I waded virtually all the wadeable water for many years. It got to where I had to tie the anchor line on his 10 ft Jon boat to my waist and pull him around with me so we could fish togather. He always hated that had to pull him around the river in his boat, but I said "wouldn't you do it for me"? His rely was, "hell yes I would". I said " then get to fishing,"! I lost him just before the next year's season started about 5 months later. I have only in this last 2 months ventured out and fished a few hours since his passing. So much has changed in the last 7 years! I'm scrambling to get back up to speed again. I need to whole heartedly thank you for sharing the information, time, passion and wisdom to help me get back in the water (hardcore year round wader here) I wish I could have had access to your videos years ago! I learned old school, trial and error method. Again thank you for your time, well done video and easy natured way of teaching! I sincerely appreciate it!
Thanks so much for sharing and we appreciate you watching. Please stay tuned and stay in touch.
What time of day is the best time to go fish for trout
Thanks for checking with us. As stated in the video, if you can e-mail this over to Brian at the shop, he'll be happy to get you an answer. admin@madriveroutfitters.com.
I'm new to fly fishing and just purchased around a $200 combo TFO rod and real. I have floating line on. But I would like to know is there a quick way to swap your line out with sinking line for streamer fishing? I never did streamer fishing but sounds like it might be better by your knowledge.
Thanks for checking with us. Please send this question over to the shop and they will be happy to help out. admin@madriveroutfitters.com or give them a call.
Hello Brian Flechsig! I have two Martin Automatic Fly Fishing Reels inherited from my Father who use to fly fish Topwater flies in Alabama for bream, bass, and crappie. He'd attach a popper and add one or two tiny flies behind the popper. Sometimes he'd catch two fish at the same time! Would you consider posting a CZcams Tutorial on how you would Fly Fish Cast using an Automatic Fly Fishing Reel is different I guess, and demonstrate proper casting using such? I live in Georgia, and hope to fish the waters in North Georgia so I'd like to hear your thoughts and how you'd make good use of these reels if you inherited them --- the reels are in excellent condition. Thanks for producing such Educational CZcams videos on Fly Fishing!
Thanks for being here but you'll need to contact Brian directly through the shop. As he says in the videos, he doesn't come around CZcams much at all. Give him a call or send him an e-mail and he'll get right back to you.
I’ve just started fly fishing I’m still confused on how long my fly line should be attached to my leader. I’m fishing for mostly native trout in a small creek. Help would be appreciated!

What’s is the best color dry fly? And what is the difference between 5/6wt reel and a 6wt reel?
Chris Awesome Thanks for being here and as Brian says in the videos, send your questions to him at admin@madriveroutfitters.com.
Brian: What is the brand and model of fly line that you use in so many of your videos that is orange?
He said it's the Cortland Hi-Vis Flip line- www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-14733-cortland-hi-vis-flip-pallot-fly-line.aspx
I fish the Kenai river in AK. Id like to hear about bead fishing. strike indicators and appropriate ways to get bead down in the water. Im currently using spit shot a 6mm bead pegged 2 inches above hook with a strike indicator. I don't get consistent results. Am I missing something?
Please contact the shop with your questions and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
quick question. What seasons would the nymphs start to hatch
Please send your questions over to the shop via e-mail or give them a call. They will be happy to help. Thanks.

Hello! I'm gonna buy a #6 setup with 3 sink line for mostly rainbow trout but also Perch. What kind of flies can I use? Have looked at boobys and streamers. But can I use more? Thanks
Please send your questions over to the shop and they can help you there. Thanks.
If nothing else I hope I run into Rogue at the shop!
You will! He works every day.
what size tippet should I use for steelhead
Lewis Hofmann Has nothing to do with the fish really. Watch this: czcams.com/video/AtXPJszdW9s/video.html
Would you recommend using nymphs on a lake?
Bluegill20 If the lake has nymphs, which it surely does.
I have question lets say you use nymph fly fishing for like 1-3 hours and then you see the fish begin to eat from surface.
1. Do i need to cut the line and change it to float line for dry fishing or can stay the same line but just change it from nymph to Dry hook(bait)?
Please send your questions over to the shop via e-mail and they will be happy to help. admin@madriveroutfitters.com. Thanks.
Nymphs dries and streamers all good what about beads? I’m in AK and looking forward to beads on Kenai and parks hwy in fall😎
Nymphs and streamers can have bead heads. Doesn't really quality them as a category of their own.
Mad River Outfitters pegging beads to imitate salmon eggs, I know u hav heard of this. Guys hav entire bead boxes and secret nail polish to paint their beads
Question do u have to use a indicator for nymphing
Cyrux No rules.....you do not.
Mad River Outfitters thanks
Ok i Will wait. Just inform me when it is out
You'll get a notification when it is.
Hi there I'm just a beginner of flying fishing if you don't mind my question is I got 9 foot rod and 6-7 WT what size do I set my leader and tippet
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions directly to the folks at the shop and they will be happy to help. That's what they do. You can e-mail them or call them.
This may help as well:
czcams.com/video/AtXPJszdW9s/video.htmlsi=LXscCJUwZSdtxYFM
A short video, but it sounds like with all the variations described in the leaders you have enough material for a book. Maybe call it “End Of The Line”. ...just a thought!
That's a great idea! We'll talk to Brian about it.
What are your thoughts on RIO fly clips for fast attachment of new flys ?
Im just now getting into fly fishing and want to learn each aspect on its own. Id rather not be trying to swap out a tippet or leader every time I change a fly until I get good at attaching a fly ?
Please send this over to the shop directly and they will answer you there. admin@madriveroutfitters.com. Thanks.
HA HA HA HAAAAA I was listening to a Spanish lesson before this and I was playing it at .75% of normal speed ..... You sound EXACTLY like Bill Clinton at .75% !! You gotta try it!!! HA HA HAAA
He's heard that a few times. Thanks for being here. Better at full speed though.
Is your entomology class out?
They had just started filming when everything shut down. Thanks for checking but won't be back at it for quite some time here.
I feel like using two different lines is too much work, I've always used floating line and I'd I need it to sink I add split shots
What’s really cool is that you are free to feel that way. 👍✌️
