Getting some of this in 65# for the 7+ I need to get for my new 9 weight I just bought. Boy, going to be an expensive rig to only use two weeks a year. $998 rod, $817 reel, $114 backing, and $129 line. Worth it though. Swear by hatch. Been using them ever since I bought a monsoon used in the early 2000’s.

I wish I could’ve bought some more of the 2009 G3. Simms ain’t the same

This is a crystal clear explanation of the basic mechanics of two-handed casting. The "aha" is that all of the different two-handed casts are done to align the line with the target for the forward cast. Brilliant instruction! Thanks for sharing this video.

Thanks Molly. I needed to hear this. I have had guys ask me to teach them but I hear so many opinions that I stick to the very basics. I will look into the online classes you mentioned. I am 60 but always like to learn.

Thanks 🙏🏾 for sharing! Happy New Year 🎈!

What's the shank length?

Dude ,it looks awesome I can see myself casting that fly , I’ll try to tie a couple maybe withe purple and blue baby rainbow colors , thanks ,happy new year

Nice pattern. Why do you use a stinger hook? Seems like a fly that would work well on just a hook?

Major Quality issues with G4Z. Bought 5-2024, had one replacement pair and 3 leaks with the replaced waders. Stay away. Good luck with customer service from Simms. Empty promises.

I started tying with Drew at bass pro shops Ft myers this guy taught me all kinds of tricks and i took it all in i tie flies when i can and am greatfull to have tied alongside this masterful person and this helped me through hard times helping my daughter survive A.L L cancer it took my mind off the situation and today my daughters in college and im a proud dad to see her still here with my family Thanks Drew for paving my way to fly tying!!

Absolute master class. Very helpful.

Eric, I like that hat. Where can I find one?

If you sustain your anchor too long, will it be hard to yank your weighted fly off the bottom..?

Euro nymphs, euro streamers, euro duns or dries... too much euro bla, bla, bla!!!

Another beautiful rod from Winston. ❤

I now have Pure 2 490-4 🫢Going to fish it soon.

What is the stuff you used on top of the black you listed it as ice wing fivers but it is not

Can you find ice wing fibres on string ?

❤❤

I use the first three lines extensivly in NZ. The MPX has a 5 ft front taper and the Infinity a 7 ft front taper, i.e they are both not 7 ft as stated. The MPX has more weight up front and having a shorter front taper is a better line for turning over large dry flies - e.g. hoppers and cicadas - on long leaders. It is a fantastic NZ backcountry line. The Infinity does not have the same grunt, but presentation with small to medium flies is better. It also casts further, as it has a longer head, and is better at mending at distance. The Infinity is a great general purpose line for fast action rods. The trout is a lovely line with incredible presentation at all distances when using smaller dries and lightly weighted nymphs. Having a reverse taper it loads quicker and can deal with more weight and more wind, without sacrificing presentation, than other presentation lines out there, i.e. those with very long front tapers (e.g. triangle taper or delta taper profiles).

Mike is the man! Thanks for this!

I gave myself a Winston "Tom Morgan Favorite" 8' 4 wt. It's maybe the best trout rod I ever owned, and I owned a bunch. worth every penny!

Tie a lot of variations of the original for everything from Lowcountry redfish to tarpon. Such a versatile pattern. Have modified this further with the Avalon style and made patterns for permit. Thanks for the tie and the history!

If you wrap your biot the other way you can get those fibers sticking up on every wrap like you had on the first wrap

Very cool guy, heard about him from skagit master first cause Ed ward bought his boat from Al and then listened to the fin and fire pod cast which interviewed Al. Cool dude that makes boats, lines and a great caster.

Thank you Mr Ward. The principals of loading a rod is best felt with a sustained water load. Every aspect of casting is about rod load. Your principals are the foundation of all casting load the rod and let it go.

Show us what it looks like in water.

Thank you for putting this together with Eric! I love this fly and have been tying it pretty well breaking down his instagram reels, but the details are so valuable. The one coming off my vise looks like the meanest one yet! Thanks again for it 🙌

how does this bag compare to the fispond burrito bag?

Thank you for sharing this, and showing how you tie it. I'm staring out tying, so greatly appreciate it. Thank you again, Eric.

Hard pass. BTW ya can pour water on just about any speaker and water will run/bounce off. Submerge that sum beach for 15 minutes then lets hear it. For the price it should dry itself off.

for wealthy leisure geezers, I'll wait for the Asian copy

Why not invert the hook so it's point up?

Infinity ⚡️

hey Jeff, how are you doing? Best regard. Thiago

Awesome Guys!

Fishing this fly all over the Midwest!

Thanks for this! Every time I watch or read Ed Ward I learn and improve. Definitely helps my casting suck less.

This looks very helpful. I have a hard time with casting all the time and I think your tips may help make it easier. Thanks for the video.

Would love second camera for the close up shots. Love the video with Eric talking through his tying!

You don’t use hair packer? House of Fly selling nice Loon Ergo packer 😊

Show us the fly first. Then sho how to tie it. Then show it in the water.

Wow, these are fantastic tips! I’ve watched a lot of casting videos, but you covered advice I haven’t heard anywhere else. Thank you!

Very helpful cues. thank you.

If u want to waste 30 minutes and not learn anything watch this 😴 And i have been two handed casting for over 10 years and wanted to see if I can learn something new

Thank you 🙏

I stopped using scandi lines. like Ed said in this video, use a floating tip and a floating Polly/versi leader. I’ve been doing this for awhile now and It works fine. Is it as delicate as scandi? No but it gets the job done. I just rather swap out tips than heads or rods. Maybe that’s because I’m lazy, but it works for me.

I had privilege to see the book. I bought to for my friend who literally teared up when he got it from me. Wonderful book! Back to this video … What surprised me is that Steven who wrote this book was kind of unprepared to present. Please forgive me but since he wrote wonderful book, I was thinking his presentation will be outstanding! This is nothing to do with House of Fly. My favourite channel! Just my 2c

Great stuff Molly. Your contribution and dedication is inspirational.
