I have a White River 7# streamer rod. Love it

If you can fish you can fish I’ve fished all levels and the $29 Eagle Claw glass rod I bought a few months ago to try turned out to be one of my favorites

parasite and induced drag… for a hot second I had to double check whether or not I was watching an aerodynamics video lol.

I wanted a 10 foot euro rod. Wild water. Rod reel line case and many extras 130 bucks

An all around trout leader that I've used for over 35 years is: 3' of .019 then 2.5' of .015 then 2' of .013, then tie on a select tipped of 12 to 16" . I never change my leader ... only the tippet. Over time I've had to replace the .013 section to get the length of the leader back. This formula was given to me by Ruel Stayner of Twin Falls, Id almost 40 years ago. This leader places the fly where I want it go, whether fishing a dry or a nymph.

I have several Winston rods. I picked up a Lamson purist 8’9” -4wt. This rod is so damn underrated. Give it a go

Didnt know the cabelas white rivers were so good. Been enjoying my maxcatch rods.

That little CGR 5’9” 3 weight is a real hoot as a dock rod or small creek rod, not sure if that model is available any more. Another thing to consider are the older rods on the auction site, sometimes you find some really good ones for not much money. My favorite White River rod, an older one, came from there. Also, I get it on the Orvis warranty, and to add, they might not fix your rod correctly for that money you spend - my Helios ZG was repaired with a very cheap quality tip top guide, not even close to the quality of the original.

I have a 6'6" 4 weight CGR. Paid $69.95, U.S. Love it.

If you buy direct from maxcatch you get a better rod than the ebay, amazon, aliexpress sellers. Trust me they are two different rods. Its like theyve got two different marketing approaches.

You are my #1 go to channel for all things fly fishing- because you are so relevant to the fishing that I do. The info is priceless. Thanks for bumping up my learning curve

I was looking at an eagle claw at Sportsmans Warehouse on 26 Nov. I think the 3 or 7 wt 7 foot was $34.95 U.S.

Great video Milan and very true. Two days ago I went fly fishing. I had around 1200 dollars between waders, rod, reel, line and flies. I drove there in an XT5. Had an amazing day,smiles all around. Yesterday went shopping with my wife for her new XT5. Next to the dealership in town. There is a nice river that runs right past the dealership. Out front of the dealership there is a bus stop. Standing there is guy in his twenties waiting for the bus. He was dressed in in the cheapest boot waders and had a 100 dollar spin combo. I asked him how his fishing went and his face just lit up with a big smile. In summary its not what you spend. Just get outside and fish!

Awsome Imfo Thank You Wondering what part Ontario you're from? Also, have you tried Swinging in the Niagra River ? So challneging to swing in depths of 15 feet or so. And tricky curremts. Perhaps not the right place for it? The tips you suggested for the switch rod applications, might make a difference I have been using poly leaders. Thoughts? Thanks Again

Great video Milan. I had forgotten about this one. Off for a little practice.

Go daddy. Way to take them out and train them young. Good family rime

Awesome tube fly substitute

A golf is a nice car. It has all the new things in it. It's shiny. It's relatively safe. Fast if you want. Nicely put together inside. Comfy. And cheap enough. Why would someone want to get a Porsche? .......

couldn’t we just easily tie this pattern on a short shank? I just don’t like the idea of Hooks dangling way off the ass end of a fly. I mean, we need look no further than Kelly Gallup to know that fish will always hit the head. They don’t want whatever they’ve eaten, stuck backwards in their throat with its dorsal fin hung up.. great work great video. I’m not trying to be confrontational I’m just wondering what the need for the hook hanging so far off the back is when the fish is gonna slam the head of that fly.. if there’s an insight that I’m missing then please let me know..

I really like your attitude! Experiment with different components that are readily available to maximize the fun. I started fly fishing last September and just had a ton of fun today trying to do some single handed Skagit casts with my #7 rod. The fly I used was sure not intended to attract any fish as that would interfere with my casting practice.

Why the thunk?

Love that knot. What yellow nippers are you using ?

Thanks for being g objective, very helpful.

Kudos 👏 most wouldn't mention the 1 that inspired them,awesome simple tie,it will swing & work,tight lines & bent rods 🤙 🇺🇸

Spey casting is so beautiful..but if you’re two handed over head casting in the surf throwing a 4/0 I generally just wait on the back cast and my hands following back as well creating no slack what’s so ever. Otherwise it’s game over. I also wait and do it two times to create higher line speed if that makes any sense. I’m def going to get a Spey set up and tinker at my local rivers awesome video

Gotta keep the skills sharp man, practice is required. And if you’re new and just out practicing take the hook off. Safety first.

Looks like single hand rod would suffice just fine in that creek. Spey rods are fun tho.. I like using them in really big water

Thanks for another great video. Once again, zero ego. Really appreciate your style. (I'm leaving that in the video) 🤘🏻😂🤘🏻

Awesome video. Congrats to the fish 👍👊

I have yet to jump into the Spey world. I think I will soon. Likely my first foray will be on Puget Sound beaches for sea run cutthroat when the tide is high and there's no room for a back cast. Great advice and nice fish!

Casting practice is essential when it comes to casting heavier flies, the best way also is to utilize continuous motion

I think there's a lot of room for improvement. Try to pratice Snap T, and perfect your anchor placement, your heavy set up is able to cast over 100 feet.

Anchor placement is off, line is too far out bring it closer to you, rod tip is way too high before the sweep you're losing energy, d loop not formed fully

That would be me wearing the fly!

I think your casts look great. Keep working at it. Thank you for putting this out there,

Where is the straight jacket buddy? You goofy😅😅😅

Not skagit casting myself but my local shop said to expect to spend about 20 hours getting your regular fly casting down. 15 - 20 minutes at a time on the front lawn gonna take a while!

First, it is a nice fish. Congratulations. Second, you are right that the problem is the D-loop. (Your D-loops are not as dynamic and as aligned as you want yet. They are more like quick roll casts. Don't worry, we were all there and I think you are already 90% of the way. It is all more fun after this.) But, I think you chose a very ineffective style to practice (i.e. skagit casting) to perfect your D-loop. In Skagit style casting change of direction for the rod during casting is so drastic that it is never going to be intuitive why the D-loop is formed and aligned efficiently behind you. In other words, you will reach the performance ceiling very quickly and I think you are already there. I would start with no direction change switch casts. That will prefect your D-loop. As far as I see from the clip, switch casts would be enough where you fished. Later, you can do single-speys with slight direction change. Once you get proficient in these on both shoulders, you will realize that you do not need 99% of other casts let alone skagit casting. Skagit lines a very good and versatile but skagit casting is not. You also do not need all that splash.

My yard practice is the talk of the neighborhood. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I too have found that when I go from a dry fly to a streamer, I suck! But at least not as bad as I did last week. I love to Practice, practice, practice. Nice video. Thanks.

Great video, I was talking with my mate about how long UA-cam fishers spend fishing to get 5 mins of action the other day, loved to see the warts n all of fishing.

Great video. What brand of nippers do you use ?

Why do you need two hands with a 7 1/2' rod?

Does this work for scissors with serrated blades?

I came to this realization a few years back. Now when I see rod reviews, I just cringe at the recommendation they give for line grains. I think these companies/influencers/reps are a bit apprehensive to recommend something that goes against what the norm has been for so long, or they simply just don’t know any better. You nailed it man. Listen to the OG guys. They’ve figured it out. Ed Ward, Jerry French, just to name a couple. All fishing shorter rods and lighter heads. They have no problems sending their lines out to any fishable distance. Plus you gain all the sensitivity of a lighter line system, and when you do hook a fish, the fish is fighting you, not a jumper cable of a fly line. Thanks for posting this. Cheers!

Darts!!😂💰👌

It’s the same e 2 lb test w number 10 long shank and a broken worm and a split shot. Bam 💥 catches fish every time. Like bow hunting once u do it it’s a rush be smarter fisherman w a fly

Sounds like bass fishing after 80 k u wake up truck boat gear over gear it never ends. I get it

Get the job done EVERYTIME....bold, very bold
