Hey Charlie, grab yourself a GoPro and take us along on the river sometime, man!

[@sonja9001]

Oh my God I never saw as many cool flys in one pack. I dig the rainbow foam inserts in the everything box, it seemed to highlight all the details in the fly patterns. For years I thought maybe the European fly anglers had more better flys, not anymore! Thanks for sharing your stuff on KZbin.

[@mikehulsey4813]

Charlie, Man thanks for taking the time when you felt like crud to film this video and giving us the look up the skirt, lol. It has taken me many years of trial and effort to work through my skit and sort out what items really are handy, which just hitch a free ride for seasons on end, and which items truly are indispensable! What I found interesting is that we have thinned our kit down to almost the same core items more or less, which for a somewhat newcomer of only four or five years now tells me I’m on to something, although being a retired blown up Iraq/Afghan vet I spend a LOT of time on the water. Thanks for showing the bugs you are carrying on your home water as well as storage and organization of those bugs because that’s where I struggled to find what worked for me the most when I got started. Lastly, thanks for showing and sharing the memory of your boy. I’ve thought about that myself often since learning about it and having kids about the same age as yours, and it takes a lot of courage to share that with people that don’t know you and didn’t know him on a personal level. In short, thanks for being a hero and inspiration to some of us and thanks for all of the videos, education, and time you’ve taken to answer me over the past several years of my therapeutic journey into fly tying and fishing. Keep on rockin’ Charlie!

[@phillmartin6196]

Charlie sorry about your sickness, me went high mountain fishing in Lesotho on donkey cart and I ended in heavy sickness.... so You're traveling fly pack is inspiring even at 73 Big thanks super star.

[@mitchgravelle1464]

As someone who also has the summit sling, i like how you set yours up. I would appreciate a video on your fly tying filming set up as well. The behind the scenes videos are great! keep em up

[@wingman8447]

Great look into your world. Thank you.

[@mikesflies5005]

Thanks Charlie. I love videos like this because it makes me feel like one of the guys. The only difference between me and you is that my flies are uglier than……..well, you get the idea. But they do catch fish which is all that matters. Have a great Father’s Day.

[@bobhammond8067]

Thanks for sharing!! There are some great ideas I hope to try. Feel better soon...

[@JeffDriskill]

I enjoyed this WAY too much. I'm no marketing expert, but you should have this list of gear on your home page! I know I bought quite a few items after seeing this 😁

[@julesborges7396]

You and me both

[@ZGADOW]

That is a crazy amount of tippet spools

[@ChuckNorris-lf8nt]

Thanks for doing the video. The fire starter is a unique thing to have in the pack. One thing to add especially for summer fishing is that sunscreen for reapplying......

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice setup everything you need . I still use the Dennis Collier Bobkin and brush I bought from you I don’t know how many years ago . Thanks for sharing your setup , and I am sure that Dave told me you had a bag bearer . He must have made that up :-)

[@jack_batterson]

Hope you feel better soon! 👍

[@rossthompson2471]

The video is a great idea, nice to see what the pro's carry.

[@richardduplessie6081]

Would be interested in seeing more on net hookup!

[@richardduplessie6081]

Great video!

[@dankochanek8056]

I like the hummingbird ripping around in the background!!

[@CharliesFlyBox]

That hummer is crazy!

[@eugenewalk4601]

Nice video Charlie.. Hope youmare feeling better.

[@brianfeeney9493]

Thank 🎉 You Charlie !! ✨🎣💫

[@Boowulf]

All really great stuff, but the sticker is wicked!! WANT ONE!!

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Email me ;)

[@cachi-7878]

@3:38, I used to use those exact same nippers but no longer do, as the needle would always come out and poke me. I carry them in my vest as a backup but now use the Abel nippers which they also have a built in needle but it’s inside the nippers so you can’t get pricked by them. Not as useful as the Angler’s Image ones but still work to clear the hook eye when clogged with head cement.

[@timg2798]

Do this next.. "what's on Charlie's bench" this is all valuable stuff!

[@N2theBlue1]

Selling those streamer kits through the shop might be a good idea. I’d buy one!

[@sjohnson4882]

Nice one handed filming!

[@seanp4038]

Great video Charlie! Just wondering if you’re still doing a video on your net setup?

[@ruebdogg1]

Get well soon!

[@phillmartin6196]

Charlie I don't expect you to read my comments but I will give it a try, see what happens. I'm 5 foot 2 inch and have same hight disadvantage so thanks again.

[@vincenttrzeciak878]

😳that nymph box had me🤤.......lol

[@Lrose4020]

Dude I was gonna say… holy s***

[@JoeBillingsley]

Great video, Charlie! Which Fishpond sling do you have.....or did I miss it?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

It’s the Fishpond Summit Sling 2.0 charliesflybox.com/products/fishpond-summit-sling?_pos=1&_psq=summi&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[@robgrubb420]

perfect.

[@ruebdogg1]

Kindly request a video of Charlie's typical fly rod setup for dry flies, nymphs, and streamers.

[@ruebdogg1]

especially leaders!

[@bryanandryszak925]

Hi, Charlie. Please make a short KZbin video on the proper way to use a stomach pump. When you suggested you might consider doing so, I figured I’d express my vote in favor of. I enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@williamparadis3058]

I use the stomach pump on fish other than trout - it gives the same information without creating as much risk or controversy.

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

Love to see the stomach pump in use Charlie!

[@cachi-7878]

@5:14, who makes the magic cloth? I couldn’t find it when searching the Tiemco Dry Magic floatant.

[@biggreenfish3267]

This may be different but I use Umpqua's Wonder Cloth. Being an Umpqua signature tyer, I would assume Charlie uses a lot of Umpqua products as you can tell by his leaders, floatant, boxes, and tippet.

[@SubsurfaceLurker]

Umpqua Wonder Cloth (Water Absorbing Dry Fly Patch)

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Umpqua!

[@ruebdogg1]

Charlie, you should charge money for showing show much intel! Thanks!!!

[@realityobservationalist7290]

If anyone is interested in keeping scissors in your pack that won't cut/poke you or your stuff, bandage scissors (aka trauma shears) are perfect. Walmart sells a really cheap mini-sized model that's perfect. Plus, they'll be there if you need to cut anything in an emergency situation.

[@flyfisher66048]

Great suggestion! Thanks

[@CharliesFlyBox]

I like a sharp point/fine tipped pair of scissors for trimming flies. Trauma scissors would be fine for cutting yarn though.

[@realityobservationalist7290]

@@CharliesFlyBox , yes, that would be the only downside to trauma shears. I saw your tube protector, a great idea. Whatever works and whatever you like is my motto. There are no rules for us gear nerds!

[@gregb8824]

24:59 lol

[@julesborges7396]

How is the Dry Magic anchored in place?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

That little gadget was called a Magic Cloth. It has a built in pocket to hold the Dry Magic but they don’t seem to be made anymore. We do sell a Dry Magic Holder that’s a tube style holder and you can attach a wonder cloth to it separately.

[@marcjalbert4139]

Great brush for me, not so great for you.....Ha! Love ya,man.

[@parkerbreitenbach2767]

I’m unsure what it it is but this video is sped up at like 1.5 speed or something

[@TheSRob34]

My first thought to this question was 10,000 fly boxes.

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Stay tuned for the upcoming boat bag video, that’s where most of them live!

[@Wogger46]

Charlie, great video from a great guy in the industry. I don't know though if any of those flies in your boxes will work.
