    From someone who lives in the U.S., I always enjoy visiting Farlows when in London… which brings me to enjoying any/all Farlows videos… what a great video for anyone just getting into fly fishing… on a side note, I do wish Farlows would come out with a new Fly Rod/Reel combo.

    As a newcomer to fly fishing this video has been an excellent learning curve for me. I was actually searching for nymphing tutorials but because my club really frowns upon the use of indicators, the second part using a dry fly as an indicator and how to tie it 'New Zealand' style, I can now give this a bash with some confidence…hopefully. So I've stumbled on this accidentally by being drawn to your video title. Thanks for taking the time to explain all methods clearly.

    Never done it, but I have bought a 5 weight combo to get started…..Hoping to try it for Chub etc on my local River Nene….I even bought some chest waders last week……I'm into lure fishing, so this is the next step….
    I certainly enjoyed the tips, especially the NZ dropper….Hmmm ?

    Grat video, thank you. As a newbie to any fishing, it would be great to see a video on river etiquette – i.e if someone is already on the river, do you move downstream or upstream, & how far away is required / acceptable?

    Thanks Nick this took me back to my younger days in the late 70s early 80s fishing on the River Taw. Live in Yorkshire now and thinking of doing a little fly fishing on some of the local streams

    After many, many years away from fly fishing, I am now in a position, and have the motivation, to start again. This has helped to settle my mind in how I should approach it and the kit I'll need. Lovely video and great work 👌🏼

    Great video Nick, I have course fished for 30 years and am the bailiff on my local river Dane in Cheshire, I have bought I small rod and reel set up similar to the one you have shown and am going to give fly fishing a go this spring, I like the fact how you have striped it all back and simplified it. What has always put me and I think many other people off is we all think its too complicated, im heading out next month with a few flies and going to give it a go!!

    Your presentation is very nice indeed. I'm experienced but enjoy learning from other people.Too many people on You Tube make fly fishing out to be so complicated and puzzling. that many beginners give up in confusion or exasperation. You are encouraging and have given enough support for anyone to have a go on a stream. I just love streams above all else, and little ones especially. best Wishes form Australia. 🙂
