Keep the musky content coming, loving it! You guys are going to need a bigger net for those 40" fish.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@ironlung7146]

You know it’s a good fish when the guide is freaking out 🍻

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Very true! Thanks for watching.

[@jdclinans]

Love the musky stuff you have been producing. There isn’t enough like this on KZbin. Keep up the great work Brian!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here and we’ll keep it up!!

[@jasonbergwall2433]

One of the best fishing shows around, KZbin, network, or otherwise. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to receiving my Mad River merchandise in the mail and hope others are doing the same to show support and keep this going!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here and for the support.

[@outdooramateur9876]

Heck yeah! So glad y’all uploaded it early!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We are too. Now we can go to bed!!!

OMG Bryan you hit this 1 out of the park,awesome video & shocked who knew Ohio had so such a diverse fly fishing,"wow" tight lines & bent rods 🤟

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. We wouldn't trade Ohio for anywhere else. The diversity is amazing here.

[@caryverhalen]

Simply wonderful content. Man, it's sort of funny, I hear in your voice and mannerisms, Flip Pallot all the time. Especially the throat-clearing thing. Lol. I've been eyeballing some of your great carp flies at your shop and will be purchasing a few in the near future. Thanks for all the vids that you share to help us fly fisherman and relatively newbies like me.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Flip has had an influence on him.....for sure.

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Awesome info fellas. I’m looking at picking up an outfit for the tiger musky in the PNW. It should be fun .

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. We’d be happy to help with that.

[@PurpleRidgeRecords]

You guys are the best. So informative. So inspiring. Thank you.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks so much for watching. We appreciate it.

Another awesome musky related fly fishing 🎣 video. Congratulations on a few really nice Skis. I have tied a quite a few big streamers and have only went a couple times and raised a couple fish. No hookups yet. That was 4+ years ago and I need to tie some Changers, T-Bones, Bucktails in a few good colors and get back after it. I have a 10 weight from Redington that has a red golf grip (can’t remember the name) and use a musky streamer line, but it’s floating so I had to use a section of a sinking leader to get my flies down while on Piedmont Lake in Ohio. I think that I recognize Josh from when I worked at the Cabela’s fly shop in Wheeling WV from 06-16. Thanks for sharing such a great informative video. 2021 is the year I need to get back after it. Even using my kayak.

Great videos with a lot of passion. Thank's from France. Trout season is over so I'm gonna try fly for pike in french rivers.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@joeg5414]

I hooked a huge musky once in Northern NY on a 5wt. Was fishing for smallmouth and foul hooked one. Almost had him netted and a huge musky came out of nowhere and stole him. Took me to my backing and broke off. Possibly the most excitement I've ever had fishing 😂 this was on the grass river in Madrid NY. It fas full of huge pike, musky, smallmouth. We even got a salmon run, sturgeon.... So many cool fish there.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching. Musy are amazing fish for sure.

[@legionssb]

“OMG!!” “LOL!!” “I dunno... what do the kids say these days!” Well I dunno but I sure am lmfao 🤣

[@kaceesavage]

This is awesome! I just cast for the first time my first fly outfit yesterday 8’4” 4wt that I got from you guys. Before that I had the Muskie fever something fierce. Baitcaster throwing big heavy double spinners, what a workout! I didn’t even realize people fly fished for them until watching Brian talk about it. Now this! I’m going to need a Muskie outfit! I should probably go fish my 4wt at least a few times first. 😁 great video guys!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and let us know when you are ready. We can help!!!!’

Awesome video. If I'm bleeding after a day of musky fishing, that means it was a good day haha.

You have to come out to Washington and catch some trout. Good job on the musky.

[@1adam1967]

Wondering if both rods were 10wt? Also, I'll be in MRO next week (first time in your new location) !

Yes, both rods 10wt.

[@makcatchem9614]

Hello guys I'm just getting into fly fishing again after 10 years. Only fished for panfish and small creek trout. Now looking to get into bass and pike fly fishing. I just recently purchased a combo from you guys. Your KZbin vids have gotten me to take up the art again. Is there and Large or larger size flies I should look into using for bass and pike that you recommend. Also I fish in gassy areas sometimes as well. My normal casting and spinning gear I use, lures from 5-8in long. All the "bass/pike" fly kits I have seen only have like 2-3in flies in them. That's just not going to cut it for the water and quality of fish I'm looking to target. Thanks again for your vids

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Please send your questions over to the shop and they will be happy to help.

Has Brian recovered from his grievous injury yet? lol y'all are amazing when it comes to fly fishing for muskies, I walked into your shop a couple years ago on a cross country trip and got some great advice that led to a buddy landing a musky as his first fly rod fish in a little tailwater. Never would have guessed there were musky there, but you guys sure knew where to send me. Keep up the great work, can't wait to hop back up to Ohio and fish.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

He's fine! Fully recovered. Thanks for being here and please stay in touch.

[@jonathanplank7224]

Coulda been doing this today if there weren't 30 mph winds in central PA 😔

Just find the game changers to soak to much water and get to heavy...

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Not if they are tied with the right materials. 😀

[@theodoretschannen6794]

One thing about Musky fishing. There will be blood. Sometimes the fish and sometimes yours.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Very true.....sometimes both!

[@marktracy2577]

That's a bass net. Y'all need to up your net size!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Sorry about that.....you'd have to talk to the guide....but he no longer works for us. We have proper nets now.

How about telling him to use a net that won't beat the hell out of the fish?
