Here is how you setup a Fly Reel

[Jackspagnoli]

I know a lot of people who would complain about the fact you showed us how to create our own loops and all the little niche things you mention, but i want to say I appreciate it. Your not slacking and i can tell you care about the information, your dilligent, and well informed. Thanks for this 🎉

I’ve watched your camera reviews for years, now that I’ve added fly fishing to my hobbies I was happy to find this Chanel.

[finlayene]

I was like " isn't this the same guy that had the best camera reviews on youtube? am I tripping??" and it turns out it's you!!!

[nickcabrera]

As a jetty and pier angler who mainly uses hand reels and simple tackle… all of this seems like witchcraft. Anytime I’ve been in a fly fishing shop I’m amazed. Great video!

Lucky for me to have found this channel

[christiandoherty]

Chris, you've basically become my dad with how much you've taught me about fly fishing in the past week.

Interesting to see this, it’s always good to see the professionals at work, one thing that did surprise me is that in England all the fly lines seem to have net manufactured loops, particularly at the far end (the leader end) of the fly line, but often at both ends.

ive done everything from fresh water bass, trout, sunfish, crappies, flatheads, blue, and channel cats, too fishing deep sea 100 miles off shore for tuna bluefish flounder flukes cownose stingrays sharks and skates, surf fishing the beach with kayaks and or kites and for some reason i find fly fishing to just require me to go get a college degree to figure this out haha! video was super helpful but theres so much more i need to learn! subbed!

@2:40 First time I've seen a Canadian Jam Knot used on a fishing reel. I use it to last gear to my canoe. Great content. Thanks

[thomasgrady]

Great video for beginner . Sadly… no one anymore want to take the time to learn fishing knots . Rush, rush, rush . Consider that attaching backing to the fly line . Really how many times are you going to change lines …. Can you say spare spool ? I’d suggest learning a nail or needle know . Then going fly line to leader ….. Cut the .. blankety, blankety, blank off . Again a nail or needle knot . I realize that learning fly fishing from the very basics is too time consuming . So just say I have no idea what I’m talking about . …. Have a great time and tight lines I’m off to the river for some evening fishing .✌🏿

thank you! just bought my 2nd fly rod (6'6 #2 graphite) and it wasn't set up. Now it is thanks to this video. What is the difference between tying the nail knot twice with 7 rotations each instead of once with more rotations?

Any tips n tricks for setting up for pike? My set up is, a 8wt rod/reel, my backing, sinking fly line, then plain old 15lb mono ( good brand name ) then a nice salt water 8 inch metal shall we call it tippet/ leader with a wooly bugger ( dark green ) been useing this set up for about 3 years ( only been fly fishing for 4 years) i only fish for pike, mostly slow slow river pockets and lakes, ether from shore or kayak. Some times i use a 6wt rod n reel, same set up. Any advice would be helpful as im planning on being on water almost every day starting may 8th, i mostly fish the bow river and dalmead lake. Yes im in alberta.

[kevinhollis]

Another question mono normally suffers deterioration from UV (sunlight) so by using a UV glue isn't that going to weaken the mono??

[dawg_gee_man]

What weight backing is he using? Edit: NM it's 20lb dacron
