I have learned so much over the past few years watching these videos Brian. And guess what? I am a WAY better angler now than I was when I started out just five years ago. I feel damn near competent!!! Every time I put a new leader on, I hear Brian's voice reminding me..."LINE THROUGH LEADER." It's a great tip. Thanks for all you do to educate us!

[@forestmullins761]

that’s funny someone else experiences that I have heard him say that every time I put a new leader on

[@daveschlom4033]

@@forestmullins761 We should form "The Line Through Leader Club!"

Thanks for being here! This is great to hear.

Brian is way to humble of a man, a true living Legend ! You are a mentor for many anglers out there including myself who have been working hard and lurning from you for the last 3 years !

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Will make sure that he sees this. He will appreciate your words.

[@rayditzenberger9517]

I bought my first orange line about 30yr ago. SA level line and just loved it.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Love the bright lines!

[@richardjones2129]

Thank you, Brian, for this and many of the educational videos you produce. I have learned and refined my understanding of fly fishing giving me a different perspective on various aspects. Thanks again and keep the videos coming. God Bless n Fish on!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@schadowolf]

Great video and I use bright orange line, helped me improve my casting and presentation.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

No question! Thanks for watching.

[@Nc.Trout.Fisher]

I'm fairly new in fly fishing and still have a lot to learn. But I have to say the videos that brain does have been such a help. The casting videos have helped me so much in my casting. This is my definitely go to channel such a big help much appreciated.

Whelp I’ve been fishing for 30 + years and I’ve been doing a loop to loop connection wrong. 😂 Always something to learn.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching.

[@iamthehousecat]

This is bananas!! With all of the doo-dads that fly-fishing companies want to sell us and not a single one manufactures such a useful tool?! Man come on fly fishing industry, we know it’s been growing. Nice blur for fishpond btw!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@daveklimtzak4487]

I've been fly fishing a long long time. I have never come across anyone using a tippet guage... I have always wondered how do u exit without it.? I have one permanently attached to my fly pack. It never leaves. It's been there for 30 yrs. I love it. No guessing.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

A must have accessory for trout anglers…..that you can’t currently buy!!!!!

[@nessy1136]

Can you use the versileader on a floating line to fish smaller streamers? Love the channel and the videos!!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

As Brian states here, please e-mail or call he or the folks at the shop and they will be happy to help. They do not monitor the comments here but of course monitor the shop. They will be happy to help.....that's what they do!

[@robgreen6697]

Floating line colour….. it’s all about contrast for the fish, they likely don’t see the colour as the bright light (sun) is shining. That same sun helps us see the line as the light source is from bone meaning we see the reflected light…

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@OscarOverlanding]

Thank you! School is in session!!!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@tylerherrmann9192]

So what is the thought process with the new SA clear line if you want to be able to see the end?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Definitely a good question that would take a whole video to discuss! Shoot Brian an email at the shop and he can help you out 👍 [e-mail]

[@bennofransson9154]

what cortland line do you use? Regards Benno

[@Madriveroutfitters]

The line in question here is the Cortland Hi-Vis Flip! www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-14733-cortland-hi-vis-flip-pallot-fly-line.aspx

Its just fly fishing not "Rocket Surgery" or "Brain Science". MRO is my favorite Fly Fishing Channel on KZbin.

Line through leader, and your connection will never be neater.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Well said!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

[@barry4fish19]

Another question is, why are there so many dang knot videos on KZbin? I see new ones every week, it seems. Knots are another thing about fly fishing that can easily be practiced.

[@Invictus13666]

Because knots scare people, especially people with limited experience and/or dexterity. People also worry about being judged by commenters....

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Your guess is as good as ours. Just learn the basics mentioned here and they'll get ya going!

[@barry4fish19]

@@MadriveroutfittersThanks, I’m with ya! I learned the necessary knots in a fly fishing class and practiced them enough to memorize them, but this video is very helpful for beginners - I agree, knots can be intimidating to many folks.

[@ashenhearth]

Really threw me off when he didn't include, "and the Midwest fly fishing school." in his intro.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

A conspiracy?

We'll take it!
