Your show is what got me into fly fishing. 5 years later, I am still learning for your shows. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful hobbies of both fly fishing and fly tying.

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks @velojayf! Keep it up! We are all learning every single trip with a fly rod in hand! Mark

[@keng9064]

Bill and Mikey, I can watch you guys all day. You guys are Great teachers and please keep making videos

[@izaakwaltonflyfishingclub]

This is one of the best videos you have produced. The camera work, sound and editing are top notch. Bill, you top it off with one of the most affable and knowledgeable guides in Mikey Metcalfe. Way to go. Thanks for making the winter that much shorter.

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks for the kind words, will ensure everyone involved reads this.

[@flyboyzindahouse]

Cheers Taylor.....thanks bud

[@haleyboller9463]

Amazing work guys! This caught the entire essence of why I fell in love with the Grand.

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks, Bill and the cameraman did a great job!

[@flyboyzindahouse]

[@RodMurray]

Awesome episode Mikey and Bill! See you on the river!

[@newflyfisher]

you know they will be looking for you Rod! Thanks for the feedback! all our best! Mark

[@RodMurray]

The New Fly Fisher -I see that others have mentioned the quality of this production. I concur fully, from camera work, drone footage, not to mention the audio. Nothing ruins good video like bad audio! The voices, the voiceovers, the sounds of the river, the fish, the birds, are all perfect. This sets a new standard for the show! Keep ‘me coming!

[@RodMurray]

The New Fly Fisher An unrelated question: was listening to Tom Rosenbauer’s podcast the other day and a fellow Canadian wrote in wondering if the new season of Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing would be on Amazon Prime in Canada. I was wondering about this too. Tom’s answer was that The New Fly Fisher would be distributing the series in Canada. Can you provide an details?

[@TopSecretVid]

love this channel.

[@justAfisherman1187]

Thanks for sharing the tippet rule.

[@gabrielvilgalys7974]

Well done guys! Much love from NZ. Keep those loops and lines tight!

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks for the kind words, hope you have a great season for Brown Trout in NZ!

[@thomasmckenzie4584]

Gabriel, Can you explain to me why everyone trout in New Zealand is a monster? I've watched 100 New Zealand fishing vids and the fish are massive. Why?!?!?!?

[@canadiangemstones7636]

14:07 The Usual - that fly is so ugly it’s beautiful. Awesome vid as usual.

[@adamkenney2112]

Not sure if the production crew gets talked about alot. But man that intro is top notch. You can tell they take pride in their work

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks Adam, we will pass this onto to everyone and "yes" they do care about the product, which is what you see now!

[@arirobinson16]

Awesome video!!! Love fishing the grand!!

[@fwmfwy]

Amazing I love brook trout you should go to NC sun burst there are many there too.you are amazing hope to meet you one day

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Ontario produced the largest brookie ever caught.

[@thatsspecial9683]

Nice to see a place where you can fish a dry fly.

[@thatsspecial9683]

I used to have a cottage in northern New York and man that was awesome for the dry,a lot better than doing the ganny stomp...lol

[@billypetersson2137]

Why not release them under the water using a forceps?

[@Treeline88]

Dry flies on the Grand. Think it's time for a visit this summer.

[@newflyfisher]

you will have fun!

[@flyboyzindahouse]

Mid June .....best shot on the service

[@tidelybumsquish]

great video.

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks Mark! Bucket list river for sure... and the guide ain't half bad either! Mark

[@fishnreidsflyfishing2055]

Great vid fellas 🍻

[@newflyfisher]

[@Banpunv]

Any way to float he upper sections with a drift boat?

[@newflyfisher]

I dont think so due to the dam

[@AyuhMancing]

Amazing bro... I just want a say so nice

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks Auyh, Appreciate the feedback! have a great day! Mark

[@flyboyzindahouse]

Thanks for watching , glad you enjoyed the episode we had a lot of fun filming

[@tywright732]

What part of the river is this at? I'm new to Canada and up here working. Was looking for a promising place to go! Love the video, it's great! Just wondering where the best access is to the river

[@newflyfisher]

Not sure, recommend you contact the fly shop in Fergus, they can give you more info on access points

[@Duck_hunter_]

We're exactly were you fishing. Like what part of the river

[@newflyfisher]

Bill was fishing in public waters around fergus, like the cedar pool and cemetery pool

[@davidmayes8563]

Dang I wish my job could be to fly fish all the time. Also that 1 dislike is a spinner fisherman lol

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks, we all greatly appreciate our jobs and the support everyone provides to use to continue. We will strive to ensure we deliver the best content possible.

[@flyboyzindahouse]

Hi David i know that feeling well ....HOWEVER we are on the back stretch now and wont be long before the winter blues are gone.....tightlines and thanks for the feedback ....much appreciated

[@83pgardner]

In the dark, with a mouse off the bank. 24 inch Brown. Net was too small. Laughed our asses off.

[@newflyfisher]

Great story and mice do work well on the Grand River like other Brown Trout locations!

[@flyboyzindahouse]

The big Browns have been known to bust a Mouse pattern or 2 up here.....headlights n mice

[@davidp2837]

Bluing dollops!

[@Luna-cx1pp]

Hard to pass Micky D's on empty with nothing else around.

[@jeffprice4611]

Great fishing. Not sure how well I’d trust a guide that doesn’t wear glasses even in low light though.

[@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj]

So your basing your opinion of someones fly fishing skill on a accessory? obviously this episode is the precise example of why that's foolish. MIke is a certified casting instructor with the FFF and makes his living off fly fishing. His reputation is so good they feature him on t.v, but using your logic he'd be in doubt ''cause, no glasses''

[@therosethorns7342]

It's fairly common to take our glasses off while doing close-ups and talking into the camera.

[@1UpClothing]

Bill if u could have an ounce of enthusiasm that's b nice... U sure don't make this shit seem fun

[@newflyfisher]

Thanks for your comment Sloan. We appreciate your input. Mark

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Yeah, dude should hype it up like a BASS tournament. Jumping up and down, screaming like a lunatic, pitching an 8” dayglo Whopper Plopper on 40 lb braid. That’s what people want to watch.

[@SK-pf5ik]

This video is about advertising more than anything else. People who don't know what they're doing advertising products. How sad. How very sad. This isn't what fly fishing is all about. How sad.

[@newflyfisher]

advertising what? not sure what you're talking about other than promoting the river, the fishery and the guide....what advertising are you talking about?

[@futureyou6496]

@@newflyfisher The New Fly Fisher Maybe this sad man was looping inside the section where sponsors were advertised. Should have provided handkerchief company for Mr.Grief

[@thisisjustaanotheryoutubec8991]

SK What exactly are you referring to?
