At the tip of the rod they pull it, that's the quickest way to break a rod ?????? must be a shit rod then, as the amount of bending a rod does when a fish runs , puts more strain on a tip than that.
That'a really something to hear. Rainbows have to be killed. I didn't know they were such an invasive fish. Here they are considered to be a prize fish. A lot of fly fisherpeople catch them for sport and release them to grow bigger. We have a real problem with a thing called, "diddy mo", which is sort of a parasite thing that kills our fish. We're trying to eradicate it, but it keeps growing. People who wade are streams are asked to clean their waders thoroughly to avoid taking it and contaminating other water ways. Thanks for the reply.
Well mr kid glad to see your still getting your rod up mate , a great starter film wich I'm sending to my 12 year old grandson who im teaching this year to fish ..we hope .. all the best glyn whitbread
A second thought on this video is that to load the road in the backcast to the max don't come back past one o'clock. The more vertical the rod is on the backcast the more power you can generate in the forward cast. Also, learn how to haul and double haul if you want distance.
For a man concerned with catching large trout he's using the worst knot possible. Sorry, a granny square knot would be worse. Forget clinch and improved clinch knots. Start tying a Uni and Double Uni knots and you'll not lose nearly as many fish due to breakage.
Simon, you cast like magic. I now have an aspirational target: to shoot for the ability to roll cast for adding several feet of distance.
I think it would be fabulous to see a video of you working a wild lake. That fishery pond made me think of the difference between walking a golf course and backpacking in wilderness.
Even you ponds are square…Warm and sunny…what did that set you back £300 for a half day of pet fish fishing.Lol the fish are so tame you caught a pellet pig in the brigtest and sunny. Day using 7 lbs tippit.Im surprised you didnt catch the whale that swallowed jonah out of his mouth with 7 lb test.lol
Unbelievably boring Anyone can catch stocked fish with a nut colored fly…I didnt see one take not one rise and you yanked that fish in with no play at all.Im surprised you didnt lose him
Perfect conditions. I live 5 minutes from best fly fishing river in all Canada. So they say. Problem is I tried fly fishing total 2 times. So thank you for videos
I had a lesson with Richard at blakewell in August this year 2019 whilst on my summer holiday, a really nice guy and well worth the money, a beautiful place to fish, it also has a great cafe and lovely staff. I have already done course and sea fishing and now I can’t wait to get some fly gear and get out there. So if you’re in north Devon and fancy a go get down there you won’t regret it.👍
That's a real flyfisherman. Some people think you are a better flyfisherman if you have a bigger reel than others !? Wtf ? No no , keep it small in a small stream.
It can be very intimidating starting or. I don't particularly want to buy 10 different types of line. If I have only floating line and want to sink a nymph, Can I jus add a split shot to it?
Don't you need tapered leader? Just ordinary fluorrocarbon line will do?

Simon, always used tapered leaders for nymphing. Have some Fluorocarbon 6lb for spinner fishing. Will this work for fly nymphing as well? Thanks.
Hi @community! do nympths/wet flies cast farther then dry flies because they are weighted?, thanks for reading!
What a good teacher well done👍
The video was more about your fly lines.
15:18 his reaction is priceless
Gaz is struggling with the meth and was also half jaked that day by the look of it. The lad couldn't catch a fuckin cold 🤪
oh that place is a paradise! i member when i start fly fishing over 5 yers ago, i watch these videos so so so many times.
Did he not use a tapered leader?

You`ve answered some questions for me I seemed to always do it wrong
Dont bent the rod while threading line through. 5 min later bends the rod while explaining spring theory.
Hopefully, you'll love this! https://www.thomasturner.com/shop/all-fluff-and-waders-a-pictorial-history-of-fly-fishing-by-cliff-hatton/
Just curious, is there a reason you had chosen to use a straight line leader instead of a tapered leader?

I am disappointed that you never show any of the fish being released
How am I supposed to do this in a narrow creek hahaha?!
Excellent video that has clarified fly fishing and what i need to start.
Wearing Waiters — for show!!!
Drpping all leader leftovers for birds and small animals to choke 🙄
im interest…this method but in my country very expensive this fly.. .. what you have broken fly set? maybe i will repare
Wood,good
Peel (peal is what a bell does).
How about picking up your cut off line instead of leaving for birds animals to pick up and eat?
This video is very helpful and great for beginning fly fisherman like myself

I honesty thought that tying leaders was way harder thank you so much this is gonna make fly fishing so much easier thank you mate
Unbelievably boring

Why no tapered leader?
Why no tippet and leader?
Stiff as hell m8
Well presented and informative. 👍

Thank u lovey video
Nippers 😂
You really need to wear all that shit

By far the best directions for a basic cast I have seen on Youtube!
catchin blue ribbons in a fishery ?
hardly a challenge.
and why you tryin to be sneaky ?
I catch monsters sittin on a Walmart cooler.
