I’m a complete beginner I’ve been studying different fly fishermen channels and you are by far my favorite. You’ve been so informative and you’re cool about it you make it so easy to follow!

Hey brother. Sitting here with my kids, and we're watching your video because they want to learn how to fly fish. Thank you for what you do.

Thanks for this video man. I've been a baitcaster/spinner fisherman my entire life. The fly fishing bug got ahold of me and I picked up my first setup yesterday. Been absorbing YouTube videos like crazy. Definitely one of the better ones! And great catch btw. This is the way.

Very good tutorial Dan. Fly fishing has really evolved since I started 50 years ago. Even casting techniques have changed. You have condensed the basics for newbies and provided some reminders for us "set in our ways" older dudes.
Your channel rocks!

This is probably the most efficient tutorial I've watch on fly casting in YouTube

[BlutigeTranen]

Bro, this is literally the best video out there on casting and I am not kidding.

[poivnio]

Thanks for mentioning the need for a full rod length of floating line. As a total newbie, I was surprised to see how few tutorials even mention that part. Kind of teaching myself at first until I get out with some buddies in a few weeks.

[TheBergMan]

Man, I was PUMPED when you caught that random fish you spotted! What a beauty! Fish was nice, too 😂 thanks for the video, man!

My grandfather taught me when I was a kid and I haven’t fly fished in almost 20 years . Finally getting a new one and definitely need a refresher

[fivelostsoulsorlando]

I haven’t been FLY fishing in almost 30 years, thought it would be like riding a bike, but…NO. Thanks for the awesome quick guide, I just had to get back to the basics! I’ll watch your other vids now, I have two weeks till my upcoming trip. Tight lines y’all!

Oh my gosh I tried casting fly fishing rod today for the first time, i made like 5 mistakes in every single cast, this video made my life so much easier, thank you buddy

[tinamarieb]

From the comments, it looks like I stumbled across the best vids first! Thanks! Step-Dad just got me my first fly rod and we are headed out to fish for sockeye on the Klutina in an hour. Never touched one before so I'll be cramming your videos between now and then. Wish me luck!

Thumb on the back of the rod actually made a huge difference. Learned something new.

About to open a pkg this week with my first fly rod kit - Been watching fly stuff for couple months. This is by far, the best quicky on getting the line out, one of the things I was most confused about. I've had all the other basics drilled into my brain it's become instinctive. 10 and 2, that's not hard to remember as I'll date myself, those numbers were also important in our youth for another reason in high school.

This filled in some big holes. I'm sure there's other great ones out there, but I just haven't seen them. Learned a lot across a broad range, but not getting the line out, the way you explained it. Sometimes, it just takes the right version to click I guess. I feel I'll be pretty decent off the go with the amount of time I've spent going to YouTube Fly Fishing school. Great job man!

Great video! I am pleased to see that I've been on the right track as a self-taught newbie. Just need a bit of fine tuning. Appreciate the lesson. 👊🏼

[camronbitzer]

New fly rod owner here- thank you for the tips. Had no idea what the hell false casting even was after a couple videos watched lol you explained it quick. Thank you

[rodniki]

I tried these suggestions and they worked. Mostly because they are common sense. Helped to look at the back cast, which I had never tried. It isn't that complicated when you get the idea.

[Roadwarier]

New to fly fishing it took me years to perfect a bass bait casting reel now to a new adventure that will take me just as long or longer to fly cast and reel... I welcome the challenge thank you for your video.

[joehart]

Just watched your video - I'm PUMPED to go out there and cast like a pro! Thank you for the star wars inspiration - may the force be with you too!
