Columbus Route

Great instruction but lose the background music!

Thanks for the tip on the glue at the end. I’ve been making it hard on myself by adding the glue then whip finishing which frequently catches material and sometimes dries fast enough that I can’t pull the thread thru to finish the knot. Duh!

I received my Ross Animas 4 -5 w in the same nickel finish it's gorgeous smooth I love it and it's everything I wanted in a fly reel, I'm still waiting to hook into a big one I'm thinking of setting up into a 20 lb carp and put the reel to the test😎

Best lesson on youtube

Don’t forget to give credit to the boys at fly fish food whom made the incredible pattern available for all of us, this is one of my best early fall bass flies

I love how you break it down and make it simple. Especially the ‘leave it on the ground and gather your thoughts’ - perfect!

I don't get it. Are you just trying to build speed for a final cast after all that false casting? Are you feeding line at any point of this process?

great spinner thanks

As an old salt fly caster, I have watched and tried numerous double haul videos to help me at the TX Bay flats. Excellent, I can hardly wait to try the downup tomorrow. I subscribed.

You’re the man! 🍻

Hi ! If I am a 9 and half, would you still recommand the 10 or the 11? in the boot. Thank you :)

My family has a cabin on the south fork of the white in the flat tops, some of the prettiest country and the best fishing I’ve ever had.

Lots of good info, interesting point about the fly line. I have actually heard you want to use a weight-forward line so that your rod will load in close quarters, but I can see the merits of using a gradually-tapered line to get a more delicate landing.

Good demonstration 👍

no uv light?

Nice tie Delaney, good work on the deer hair head. Two questions: did you use 1/8 zonker strip, and the feathers were tied in facing each other?

Im looking to try an indicator setup for stillwater, but what kind of leader are you using that you can still lay it out straight with 3 flies and an indicator attached to it? Are you building a heavier leader yourself? Id only be using a single heavy fly, but i still have to build a heavy leader to cast that without an indicator.

Literally the only video I could understand, thanks.

Great advice. Thanks!

Can you do it just on the back cast or just on the forward cast?

Great work, Delaney!

You forgot to spit on it!

There's certainly something to be said about having a presenter with an English accent. Watch any of David Attenborough's nature documentaries and you'll understand why. As per usual Simon does an excellent job of breaking down something which can seem daunting to beginners, into a no nonsense, easy to follow guide for getting started.

I'd rather spend that kind of money on DH Spey rods, ... Feels like you're getting a lot more rod for the money as well, ....Like a Gaelforce Equalizer, ... I am more inclined to pay over $1000 for the Gaelforce rod but not for the Orvis.…

Best video on this subject Ive seen.

Why is Umpqua not in Oregon anymore??

Great little short explanation and I’ll probably plagiarize it when I’m teaching students. Thank you, Simon, John Till

Love the amount of detail and information. I’m a new angler for trout specifically myself and really want to make sure I’m being as humane as possible with my practice. This was great 🙏❤️

This guy go on one trip and is an expert now?

Nice wish could find decent bucktail

excellent tutorial and thank you for sharing all of your construction techniques. well done.

This was painful. You mumbled 95% of the time and you made a 4 minute fly into a 16 minute video by not editing out all 300 irrelevant thread wraps you made. Not trying to be a dick, but come on, guys. Do better.

Great video! I have a blast fishing fiberglass on big waters. Usually 5wt-6wt 8ft. I have a few creek rods and it’s just as fun on small water. Small waters offer so much more than one would think.

What do you use for smaller sizes? You mentioned that.

The often unseen source of the magic!!

I need to work on my smaller size hooks. This could be a good one for that chore

Sweet

Over on the other side of the pond this fly has been known as the sugar lump fly (some say sugar cube) for many years now. Cheers

Bery nice pattern

Nice!!

Thanks Greg, I appreciate it. I'll give it a try !

what size eyes ?

This is not a true RS2 it’s a poor copy using wrong materials 😂

FANTASTIC 🎉 hacks gained here !!!!! Thank YOU so much for this dynamic tutorial !!!!!!! I’m off to the bench this AM to twist up a number of these for my new 2024 Season Box !!! 🌟🎣💫

Great looking fly as always Daryl.

Nice work tyvm!

Great video I bought a winston boron 11 about 9 years ago in #5 9 ft. In fish it here in northern montana in it's great for small nymphs and dries what a wonderful tool thanks

Hi - great video but I am struggling a bit on the back cast with big (predator) flies. When I do the back cast, the line does not feed back up through the rings, so there is nothing to 'haul' on for the front cast. Any tips? Thanks!
