The guy sitting on the bench in the blurred background... beginning to think he was dead! Then he moved! He was in the previous episode too! As always thank you MRO and Brian for sharing some of your wealth of info and knowledge. I know for sure it has helped me!

I am a guide at a fly fishing & hunting club. 90% of my clients have never seen a fly rod. Always looking for quick ways to get them casting and your videos are straight forward and concise. I am going to blatantly steal from you. Keep up the great work.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Feel free to share.

[@EscapingTheCity]

Flick paint, flick paint. Throw dart, throw dart. Hammer nail, hammer nail. Wax on, wax off. Cast up, cast down. You are indeed the Mr. Miyagi of the Midwest fishing world. Thank you Sensei.

Thanks for watching.

[@predatorhuntingobsession5104]

Just got my first rig today. Can’t wait to start practicing and catch my first fish.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Have fun and let us know how we can help moving forward.

[@predatorhuntingobsession5104]

@@Madriveroutfitters went out this morning for the first time after practicing yesterday afternoon. Caught 2 browns 1- 16” and 1- 19”, and 1 rainbow that was 14”. Idk if I’ll touch my spinning rig again.

[@codygoodrich4245]

You all are master at teaching all things fly fishing. I am forever grateful for the knowledge I have gained from this channel

[@Madriveroutfitters]

[@Hustis1]

I love Fly Fishing! Just started, today was day 1 spent an he practice casting. I can't imagine what kind of addiction is otw after I catch my first fly fish

[@Madriveroutfitters]

You are in for a fun ride! Thanks for watching.

As always very good keep up the good work. This old dog can learn some new tricks

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Appreciate you watching. Please stay tuned.

[@zygimantaspacevicius9620]

One thing is the content that you provide us which is very useful. Another great aspect that I like about you vids is how you do it. In my view you are doing it in a very down to earth, natural, alive, easy to understand and sometimes funny way. That is owesome. Many thanks for what you are doing!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We appreciate you being here. Please stay tuned.

[@MrClouston88]

Your videos are great. The only thing I'd like to see is the camera zoomed out more when you're talking about tight loop formation. Greetings from the UK! Keep up the amazing videos and content!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice video Brian 👍🎣 , Great informational advice on casting techniques 😉

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks as always for watching.

[@jonlejcar5306]

Very novice fly fisher here Bought what I assumed is a decent cabelas 8wt combo a few months back Caught a few 3-4lb smallies Wading in my local river, goal is muskies by next year Your videos have been immensely helpful in teaching myself proper technique, I still have a long way to go but I'm unsure on where I'd be without mad river. Keep up the good work bud.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for that. Please keep us in mind for your future needs!

[@wdtaut5650]

2:42 "...just like you're hammering a nail..." That's what I was taught. You can't hammer well with only a wrist break and you can't hammer effectively without a wrist break. I find the timing is similar, also.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Exactly. Well said.

[@TheRock-xj7hs]

I can’t wait to get out there! You make it look so easy and to imitate you, not you, but your technique is indescribable. Thank you

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Fly casting video at the casting pond? Very nice

Awesome video. I have learned a lot from you and thank you for that. Thank God for our military. I am a disabled veteran. My son is in Iraq as I txt this. God bless you and your fly fishing.

Coming! Stay tuned.

[@aidenburgess9826]

Amazing video, very informational!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.

[@Jim-wi2ne]

Nice! I found this wrist flick is very important for tight loops. I did it by accident a while ago but stopped after reading a lot on casting saying dont break the wrist. Ive changed to a more fixed elbow moving the rod roughly the 90 degrees with a wrist flick and its effortless to throw good loops over an okay distance of 60 odd feet.compared to the elbow sliding back and forth. Took much more effort for me. Maybe i did it wrong. Probably. Thanks for your videos.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

james austin Exactly correct. Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.

[@32456hf]

To prevent you from breaking your wrist, you can place the butt of your rod into the cuff of your shirt. It works as well as the two mentioned props.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

You'll notice that Brian rolls his sleeves up. Thanks for the input though.

[@32456hf]

@@Madriveroutfitters Yes, I noticed that Brain's sleeves were up. He can try my suggestion, the next time his sleeves are down. Cheers!

[@SMCDisaster]

Ok. Question. You do this little tug when making both motions if your cast. Is that something we can add? Your line is two color, is the orange the weighted forward?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Watch further episodes of this series and your questions will be answered. That and feel free to contact the shop anytime with questions. Thanks.

[@mainepioneer8899]

Awesome video thank you for the tips!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Much more to come so stay tuned.

[@communicationiskey-]

When practicing fly casting in backyard, should there be a fly at the end of the line ?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Please send your questions directly to Brian at the shop via phone or e-mail and he will be happy to help. Thanks for watching.

[@jeffvalus6966]

when practicing casting,should you practice with just the fly line,or should you have something on the end of it

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Must have a tapered leader on the end.

[@DrewOnTwo304]

Do you pull the line back with your left hand during the up cast?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

[@charleslee4836]

Feel like those “loop assist” tools would give you more of a crutch opposed to muscle memory?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We find them useful in some situations to correct Chronic Abusers.

[@boreasgelidus2487]

Will try to drop the fly rod immediately after the back cast, even if wading deep! 🤭

[@Madriveroutfitters]

As long as you are making an "up" cast, the line won't come anywhere near the water.

[@MrRourk]

You want to get good at the wrist break? Get a 9wt and head to the Salt Flats in the Gulf.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We leave on Saturday. See you there?

[@MrRourk]

I'll be off the coast near San Antonio, TX

[@JamesWPeetll]

After watching for a few minutes I noticed in the repetition I could see a secondary "jerk" in the wrist as the line went from front to back (or backward). It made me wonder where relaxation comes into the picture, as I took it from that that you let the rod do the work and the wrist is just holding, and the work is in the elbow until the end when you relax the wrist and let the line drop on the water. Please make as much sense out of this as you can.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

If you can send this over to Brian at the shop he'll be happy to help. Unfortunately, he won't see it here. Thanks.

[@shawnbarry3893]

Thanks dude 👍

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@stu9145]

Why's is it so important to keep your thumb at the top of the grip?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Stuart McDonald Higher tip speed and more control over the tip. Watch the 1st few episodes as well as Episode 14 of Getting Started in Fly Fishing. He explains it well.

[@jaredwhite489]

Anyone see that fish jump at 1:43? Lol

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Didn't notice it but thanks for pointing that out.
