“If you wanna be nice to the fish, stay home” 😂 this guy

[@Madriveroutfitters]

It's true though. Thanks for watching.

[@jamescooper2618]

Well, there's "being nice to the fish" and then there's "not tearing up a fish needlessly" so it can live to be caught another day. See?

[@willdykema]

@@jamescooper2618 bycatch morality and barbed hooks arent statistically correlated, so unless you think its causing them pain somehow then its an irrelevant difference. But for getting them out of your own neck or something its def something to consider.

[@ivarlilliendahl4696]

I´m wondering if the split shot especially (maybe also the bobber) wouldn't get in the way of what you talked about in the "leader" video. Where you pair certain fly with certain leader. It seems to me to get in the way of this. Do you change leaders or flies based on if you need split shots ? Thanks for your wisdom and epic videos !!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Wildly important topic. Thanks for chiming in.

thoughts on waders. I also hunt, and am planning on doing fall/winter fishing at some point (OHIO). I have 5mm neoprene waders, but I am reading some are saying to not go with that since may be too heavy and warm?

[@Rickky1971]

Nice tutorial sir, I use to remember seeing guys whipping their poles back and forth when I was little fishing with my dad (who always bait fished) but did not understand the purpose. Once I had gotten older I watched at a stream in Colorado an older gentlemen while fishing myself (not catching anything) pull in trout after trout!! I decided to ask him what kind of bait he was using and he looked at me confused and broke it down to me how fly fishing worked and him telling me "Fly fishing is like fishing with a tie and dinner jacket on because not everybody can attend the party". That's always stuck with me and because of your vids I'm learning everyday.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for simplifying things. Jargon (like "strike indicator") is one thing that has put me off of fly fishing, just like many of the other things you've pointed out in this series. I would add nippers = clippers and hemostat = pliers.

Great videos. Where I'm from in south carolina there are not alot of people that fly fish to get information from to learn first hand. There seems to be a lack of knowledge or people are just to lazy to learn that you can catch fish on more than just a baitcaster or spinning reel and it be just as or more exciting. I've already learned so much from this series of videos. Thanks for bridging that gap. Ready to get out there.

Great video with sound advice. I use my Hemostats or Forceps for loads of things, not just for unhooking fish. Half decent clippers are also so valuable. Floatant and sinkant for flies and leader is also very useful. I wear glasses so haven't bought polarised glasses, which makes no sense. So when I get my next pair of glasses, I'm going to get a spare pair of polarised prescription ones.

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

Fishing barbless is always better imo, because if you loose a fish on a barbless hook, the fish has a chance to remove the hook+line, and don't die.
