Hi Brian I am so additied to your vidios I have been fly fishing for more than 20 years for trout . I have learn so much from watching your videos. Keep it up can't wait for your next videos. By the way my name is Michael from London UK
Brian, It's OK, "Balls to the wall" is an old Army Air Corps term. The bombers had round plastic balls on the throttle levers. To get maximum power from the engines, they had to slam the "balls" against the firewall in the cockpit. Hence, the term "Going balls to the wall" It just means very fast or full throttle.
I do a lot of ice fishing here in northern Canada and was wondering if this ice off paste would still work say in the extreme cold(-30 to -40 degrees Celsius) on an ice rod
Awesome video. Have enjoyed them all very much. On this video however the background music is very loud on this one. Found it difficult to hear on times. Just a bit of feedback. Doesn't detract from a great video and great series.
Thanks for your great videos! I love tippet rings and will need to try the Loon guide anti-freeze! Where was that when I was spin-fishing as a kid for trout in the COLDEST of days? 🙂
For the question about the fly rod sizing, look up the common cents system designed by Tom kirkman. It’s a tool us custom rod builders use to determine the line weight and action of fly rod blanks. It may be confusing at first but if you can figure it out it will be really helpful
Planning on coming in tomorrow to buy a combo, love your videos, you can tell you have a true passion for what you do and are naturally talented at teaching. Keep up the good work!
One other thing that does cause a twisted fly line. I learned this the first time I fished the salt. Each false cast will induce a small amount of twist. If you have a bunch of line off the reel, but not out of the rod tip for a while, there will be be some line twist as a result. To get rid of it simply let the current take all the twisted line out. If it's real bad, cut the flies off. Then, try to keep only your working line out. This comes down to line control. That, IMHO, is every bit as important to casting.

going to have to get the stuff for frozen eyes. I had that problem fishing a river when it was 11 degrees out.
Great info and I wouldn't recommend using wd-40 on anything that'll go in the water very bad for the environment actually.

I learned yet another piece of fly fishing jargon. Tippet ring = swivel!
Fantastic Q&A. I was on your website and did the google "virtual tour" of the shop. That's pretty cool!
Lol! Love the twisted line comment! I won't repeat it, you all know!
Guide butter? Hmmm. I never knew loon made such a thing. Thanks for sharing the information and knowledge.
Great video.

Not sure about WD-40 but I sprayed my neighbors snow shovel with cooking spray and it was hilarious 🤣
Awesome video 👌 nice tips on line management 👍

As always, excellent advice
