[@letufamily]

you are a blessing for guys like me, thank you for your videos 🤗

[@willcrockett6707]

Outstanding video once again. All the Orvis videos are terrific and I wanted you folks to know that I intentionally bought a new Orvis reel to support these videos. Thank you so much and look forward to more videos and more reels in my future! Ha ha.

[@PaulRowan]

Thank you Tom very much for the delightfully informative insights and sharing tips on fly fishing, I've been following your diligent life's educational work for years, its always been helpful and appreciated!

[@galedutton184]

Fantastic episode. Loved it. Thank you.

[@SimpleTanks]

So much information with fantastic explanation and clarity. For a new fly fishing wannabe this is awsome.

[@jerrydell4646]

I really like using the pheasant tail and thankyou for sharing I have learned a lot from you I love to fly 🐠.

[@rdjeffrey]

This was so good to watch.

[@schadowolf]

Great video as usual!

[@intoflyfishing]

still the best there is. Thanks Tom!

[@billbedard2570]

Wonderful info.

[@johnhanley8708]

Thanks Tom great info!

[@pochuanhsing2466]

❤thanks for the tips, nice demonstration

[@mikeembasado668]

My favorite teacher to watch for many years now. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@MegaNafo]

Nice tutorial , subscribed .

[@TheBeaker59]

I am going to try the 2 indicator system in our river for sure next trip, actually might try this afternoon, we have a deep slowish flowing river just down the road I like to drift fish from a dinghy. problem it would solve is our fish really reward you getting the drift right in slow water that can be difficult.

[@geraldg7420]

I know it is favorably used by most guides (if not all). No matter how you package it, the "old school", will always call it "bobber fishing." Whatever makes it easier for the guides, or whatever floats your bait.

[@TheFazha]

And we’ll just call you a whiner and complainer😂

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

A video to watch 100 times

[@peterlovric5688]

Thanks

[@jamesnolan8744]

Hi Tom, very helpful video. How would you recommend nymphing in a pool with a swirling current? recently found one where the browns are taking nymphs, but of course that makes casting much more challenging.

[@kuttycrew]

7:50 best statement, “if I’m going to use an indicator at all”

[@gumtch]

0:10

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

I watched this. Again. its on like 92 different channels haha.

[@johnkinsfather6369]

Tom, newest , best indicator, Oros indicators.

[@mdaley3102]

Great video. I know that weight is sometimes needed but I dislike splitshot because it moves down your line when you cast unless you connecting knot happens to be in the right place. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@daveschlom4033]

Put a simple overhand knot just below your shot. Or put it above your surgeon's knot. You can also use a tippet ring or micro swivel. Any of the above will keep you outta slide down syndrome. Which is SDS I guess!

[@DarryLavid7227]

A little tungsten putty right below the split shot helps too, but the overhand knot method works the best.

[@stasstukov4487]

Классный Фильм!!!

[@pahuntnut]

I have had fish actually hit my orange indicator? And that was on the WB of the Delaware

[@drugsrneat3793]

Feather indicators... you can loose-tie a feather and pitch it with your leader. They lay flat and help your fly with natural movement.

[@javontoosay7917]

I like your fly reel I want got one where did get that?

[@orvisguidetoflyfishing]

The reel I think you are speaking of is the Mirage LT. Tom used different colors of this reel in the show. View them here: www.orvis.com/product/mirage-lt/2MTS-Family.html

[@nomadamigo2550]

Tom is kinda saint..

[@kevindodson957]

when you say "soft water behind a big bolder" what does "soft water" mean?

[@orvisguidetoflyfishing]

slow water create by rock or boulder

[@jeaniedavis4525]

Does anyone know what boat he is in?

[@dangermandave67]

Putting those hard plastic spherical indicators on a leader makes casting utterly miserable.

[@richardcontant4659]

Belgian cast (sustained anchor cast).

[@stefang6213]

Soon get the hang of it.. can really wake on it!

[@michaelross5674]

The yarn indicator..you have to put floatant on it right

[@orvisguidetoflyfishing]

usually

[@beneppley5308]

Damn, Tom is swole!

[@RFSpartan]

Always has to be that one fruit

[@scottys2380]

I'm confused about when to use a tungsten head nymph?? Why not always use them instead of split shot on the line??

[@orvisguidetoflyfishing]

both work

[@Richard-du7yj]

Depends on what fly you want to use. Some people refuse to use split shot and they catch plenty of fish. Tightlines.

[@markkosa1]

We call those bobbers...

[@tonyramosflyfishing1895]

Tom, I don’t think you explained why you are using two indicators. Can you explain.

[@Grateful_Ryan]

Why do you spit your line into the water after you've bitten off the excess, when tying on a fly? In a previous video you complained about stick on indicators polluting the river, but you're spitting plastic into the river...

[@GRIMDoZeR]

Hahahahha

[@gen.barnakey__]

How to sell bobbers, call them indicators.

[@orvisguidetoflyfishing]

both names work, basically floatation device and easier to cast that tradition large plastic bobber

[@daelpixphotography]

I don't like the wool indicator, because if it comes off, you'll also lose the plastic tube, which adds more plastic to the rivers, and seas. Not for me thanks... I'm surprised you didn't review the foam tubing. First time using indicators, and I find it ok. It isn't brilliant, but it's fine for the rivers I fish, but they have a tendency of not staying where you put it.

[@phylsjourney]

A petty thing, but it drives me nuts to watch a person reel and fish with the same hand. Switching the rod back and forth, way too inefficient..

[@23v0lv32]

😂 rookie angler spotted! - switching hands is the old school method that’s common with a lot of old timers. It’s how I learned when I was young. I agree with you though! Rod always in your dominate hand and retrieve with the left!(non dominate hand) 😂

[@zacklemyre3944]

I do the same lol

[@mikeprice3705]

For Pete Kusher: Pete, I've been fly fishing for over 50 years and I'm always game to learn something new. But my pet peeve with your instruction is about you saying the rod travels on a straight path from back cast to forward cast. An efficient cast has the rod moving fore an aft in a straight line in one plane only (the direction of the cast.) However, as seen from the side, as in all your instructional videos, the rod tip clearly describes an arc from low point at the end of the back cast to high point above one's head in the middle to low point at the end of the forward cast. Your instruction is confusing in that it leaves to the imagination how much or little the wrist should play in casting, and leaves out the most important point that it is essential to keep the the pivot point (elbow) in the same place throughout the cast. Your oversimplification drives me nuts and makes it harder for people to become competent fly casters.

[@rayhopkins5246]

52 plus minutes for information? Hum?

[@bolling9193]

I'm not a fan of indicators. It's something guides came up with to make sure the "sports" catch some fish. I was not taught to Fly Fish with indicators and I'm glad for that. Why not just use one of those red and white plastic things.

[@cordellkent4790]

Do you realise how many of your technical skills shots you have where your hands cover the detail? It’s really annoying.

[@orvisguidetoflyfishing]

thanks for feedback, will try harder for future videos to show the hands more

[@petekeener8943]

Way too long of a video. Seldom folks have time to spend an hour watching one video.

[@1Troutguy]

Then keep scrolling...

[@AftShrimp]

Just sat and watched the whole thing it was great

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Pete, old feller, it’s pretty obvious you retired long ago and have plenty of time on your hands.

[@northcub1702]

stop uploaing old videos

[@1Troutguy]

always good to rewatch
