[@roberthunt5200]

Love to see Flip and Brian banter and share wisdom

[@Oldsparkey]

Back in the 50's my Dad taught me how to fly cast. I wanted to use my whole arm ( Like using a bull whip ). He took a belt ( placed around my chest ) and fastened my upper arm against my side so it would not move. This made me only use the lower part of my arm and wrist. I was ready to use a fly rod when I could cast a fly without using the upper portion of my arm. I also had to have the fly land on a paper plate sized target for lure placement. Same thing when using a casting rod , proper lure placement was expected. Just some of his teachings which has stuck with me to these 77 years.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

The more movement of the arm, the less accurate the cast. Simple. Thanks for sharing.

[@jetcat132]

That’s a great story, a practical lesson learned from a very wise man…

[@DanieHattingh]

You had me slightly concerned at "he took a belt..." but I'm glad it went the other way. 😅 Anyway, good way to think about accurate casting.

[@Capt.JorgeMoran]

There's something about Flip telling you something vs. anybody else telling you, that just makes sense. I honestly believe that we sometimes overlook how good of a teacher he actually is. And so is Brian, his instructional videos are by far some of my favorites and I revisit them regularly. Thanks for this.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@RamBowMike]

You are all brain washed.... Flip may be a good fisherman but he's a lousy teacher!

[@lokalizeadventures]

I just want to say a big thank you for all the help you've done. I watched all your "learn to fly" videos before I started fly fishing. It helped me a lot getting started. But the magic happend when I re-watched them a bit later, and saw the details in the videos instead of the general idea. It took me to the next level. So thanks again! Kings regards from Sweden 🇸🇪🙏

Being a fly angler out of south Florida I’ve watched the walkers Kay chronicles growing up ,and I could not imagine not doing so, he had taught so much throughout the series aswell as his videos and they have taught me everything I know as a fly angler. This man will live on a legacy for ever, absolute legend! Thank you for the video and I hope to see more!

Thanks for watching and please stay tuned. More on the way.......

Now that life has finally slowed down for me, its time to get back to learning to fly fish again. Probably gonna start getting a vise and tools together too. I'll have to watch the fly casting series again. Another inspiring video thanks guys.

This was an eye opener. I’ve been taught to basically not move my wrist at all. Coming from spin fishing, it has always felt unnatural. I’ll make sure to break my wrist from now on without thinking it makes me a worse caster. Thanks Flip and Brian!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@charlesmurray1220]

Have you ever thrown a Frisbee? Forehand or backhand your upper and lower arm give you some forward speed and once your arm is forward of your body and pointing at your target you break your wrist with a snap which spins the disc increasing speed again and adds accuracy in flight.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Good one! Thanks for sharing. Will pass along.

[@rayditzenberger9517]

I was fortunate to start watching the Walkers Cay C about 1970 and that made this Indiana boy a dedicated salt fisher though i seldom have the opportunity to taste the salt. The other thing the first started my salt desire was an article in one of the Garcia annuals in the late 60s that showed this gill fisher that flies for salt were available. I could go on but these 2 things are what opened my horizens.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Just to be clear though, the Walker's Cay Chronicles was on tv from 1992- 2005.

I bought my first 9wt rod for salt in late 70s and i was watching WCC before that as i remember. I guess i could be wrong.

U can do no better than to listen to Flip and Lefty. I sure wished i had access to them when i was starting into fly fishing in the 1960s. The moderately priced gear is so much better today as well. Invest wisely and you will be set for life. I still use my Pfleuger reels of the 60s and 70s.
