what’s the cover on the cork handle called?

How is Peter Charles not on this list?

Once I find the depth, especially deep Stillwater fishing, I use a sharpie to mark the leader so I can reset the depth easily

This is deeply sensible. I have over a dozen fly rods, but if I'm honest I only use 6 of them with any regularity.

As I mentioned in the video I made, I have an 8'6" 4wt Orvis Clearwater and a 9' 8wt White River Bugger. I wanted both ends of the spectrum with one for trout, crappie, bluegill, smaller bass, and one for largemouth, muskie, & salmon.

Please tell me which floating fly line you use with your Clearwater 9` 6wt rod, if more than one what are they ? Mant thanks :)

Yet again great video,now speaking of Single Hand Skagit very versatile for larger size streamers,simply add a Scandi Head to your arsenal & all bases covered,soft hackles,small streamers yes even nymphing with a idicator if you want to,the versatility of a single trout/mirco spey system is mind blowing & not just trout either,tight lines 🤙🇺🇸

I'm from a galaxy far far away... when you say Great Lakes you mean in that area as opposed to stillwater fishing in the lakes themselves? It was just that you were talking about swinging wets with that switch rod so I guess you meant rivers in that general area? I have a 9' 10wt for murray cod but although the streamers are big and so are the fish I feel I should use the 8wt that I use in the salt. I don't know how the Murray cod compare to pike... they are very heavy fish but I suspect are a shorter (but tough, straight into the snags) fight than pike but I guess I'll have to head up your way to find out, those pike are cool looking fish!

JMC R2 5-6, 9', it's the best budget friendly rod that i have. I use a 5Wt line, and i cast it very far. I have another one 10' 7-8, that i can use it for pike, but i love my R2.

I only had 1 fly rod floating line for salt water fishing 6 w I did have a spare reel with fast sinking line if I needed

here in nc i don't trout fish much. but large and small mouth bass , crappie, shell crackers, blue gill , i don't know how many fish in 40 + years of fly tying and fly fishing i have caught. my main bass flys are wolly buggers tyed size 12 up to 3/0 . pan fish will hit about anything if hungry. papa wishing you well 😊

Your light colored background/wall and bright oar really compete with being able to focus on you. I find myself often zoning out. Not because I’m not interested. Just distracted. Most people on YT with this set up have the back dark for this reason. Bit of opinion you didn’t ask for lol Once again great video. Very useful info.

That's pretty good info for most fly anglers. I don't very often agree with you, but this was reasonable.

Definitely gonna give the wax worm a try

One of my biggest issues with fly fishing is that a lot of the time you got to spend money to learn you don’t like something. Hip packs, vests, packs of all kinds, what rods, weights etc. What I have learned so far is that a 6 wt if you are trout fishermen will cover you on lakes and rivers, whereas the 5 wt is excellent but a little wind at a lake and suddenly it lacks that power. 4 wt is awesome for dry fly fishing but lacks punch when dry dropping or even going with a small wooly bugger. Again and again I keep going back to my 6 wt… my least expensive rod too.

I think most people could get away with just a 9' 5 weight and 9' 8 weight. If I had to add a bonus rod to the previous two it would be 14' 10/11 weight two hander although not necessary for 90% of anglers.

Agree with you,I myself go with a 3,5,7 weight 5 & 7 are 9' my 3 is 8',also have a 10' 7 weight I use for trout/mirco spey (single hand),throw a 9' 9 weight in & all my bases are covered,as a west coast/Oregon fly person this selections me covers everything from small water to steelhead & Salmon,my go to rod most days is my 9' 5 weight Redington Rod,but you hit the said nail on the head,tight lines 🤙

Very thought provoking Milan. I have a 376, two 590's and a 790. I certainly don't need any more. However !!!! LOL

What part of Great Lakes/state r u fishing? From pa love me some chrime

You are appropriately named “greenhorn”

Thanks! Looking for DIY non-"proper" tying stuff and will add these to the list. I've got a feather duster that I'm eyeing. It's long and multi colored. The fibers are a poly of some type. Looks like it would work good and it's free!

So many of youYou TUber sare just would-be celebrities, starts your own little world. Many who produce fly tuing and fly fishing videos are quiet achievers and genuine people. I like them Leave each other alone and let viewers enjoy hemm or not. :-(

agree with you on the wild fly channel...

Wild Fly is THE BEST fly fishing channel on YT. This video is weird, but figured I’d comment to help you out.

I've been tying flies for 55 years. I tie flies as a hobby to relax and learn new techniques. I also tie my own patterns to fish with. There are good fly tying channels with tiers who are skilled. These people know how to design a fly suitable for specific applications, how it will fish, and how it will swim. They know fly fishing, materials and proper techniques. These channels are worthwhile watching even if the flies are designed for a different environment or species than you fish for because the content is valid and you can learn from them. I subscribe to those channels. Other channels range from half decent with some good content to terrible with self-proclaimed experts who don’t have a clue. You can tell real quick if a video is worth watching to the end.

Why is there not a list in your description section of this video? I love this as a beginner fly fisherman, but i want to see at least the actual names (rather than hear them...) and preferably even links...

@drewlooknfishy is the goat🤘

I’ll work on making the list next time 😉

jensen fly fishing didnt make the list huh?

Thank you thank you thank you! I cant tell you how much I appreciate when I get to watch videos like this. Shows you’ve got a spine lol. Giving honest opinions on other creators. YT is a business and UA-camrs are running a smaller business within the larger business. The biggest scam in the business model is YT calling things a “community” and creators not competing and holding each other accountable. It’s not a community. A community is group of people living in the same place. The second half is having a particular characteristic in common. The latter does not matter when making content. Who’s principled, who is being genuine, who’s being paid and most importantly who’s telling the truth. Channel numbers mean NOTHING to me. Consistency and transparency are what folks who watch a lot of YT care about. You and for better or worse Huge are at the top of my list after watching this video. I like TFO but if that’s the only gear I see you reviewing… something’s obviously up lol you just saved someone like me, months of time, sorting these creators out. And from what I’ve gathered you did a good job. Thank you again and keep up the good work This video single handedly has me on your team 👍🏼

You missed a really great channel, I'm surprised your other viewers didn't point it out: Mad River Outfitters. Check it out if you haven't already.

You had up until Huge fly fisher...Ben

Great video.🤘🏻 I've been hung up on ethics in fishing these days. I can't wait for fall and winter. So many part-timers out right now, driving me up a wall. I'd like to hear your take on basic rules you go by when encountering other fishermen when wading. Or how to handle jackweeds that walk into your personal fishing space. I mean, I deal with it, usually by keeping my mouth shut and walking away. I just don't understand how some people operate. I'm always trying to get away from people. I just assume they don't want to see me either. Lolol. If I can hit you with a cast, you're too freakin close.

Fun fact. Jay is a local to me. He was taught by his father-in-law Carl Coleman who had Tom Rosenbauer working in his shop when he was just a kid.

Good video Milan. I will however disagree with you on one from each side. Quick question if its not to much of a bother. What vise is that in the video?

Can you die white turkey feather boa baby blue without ruining them please

I use strike indicator for dry flies, for small ones (24-22-20 #) when I fish in fast streams for european grayling at distance; not to indicate the strike but to give an idea where to look for my small fly to spot the moment when the fish pick the fly,.. they tend to spit the fly out instantly so you have to be fast. Yarn indicators tend to be bulky and they don’t float very well so I thy them with deer hair.

Nice info

Sold! My new commando smooth comes in tomorrow. I’m fired up. Thank you so much for the info.

I build my own rods. A lot of what most people prefer can be controlled through the selection of components. It’s not cheap but less than comparable high end rods

It’s less about the type of fish than the size and weight of fly you are throwing. You can’t really throw massive streamers on a 5 weight and a 8 weight is a bit aggressive for a parachute Addams but both a 8 weight and a 4 weigh will catch the same size trout.

black holographic?

My fly line catches on everything. Most notably all the parts of my vest as well as twigs, weeds and most anything at my feet. It does get a little frustrating but on the bright side, I’m getting better. 😊 Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Very helpful, thank you

I have the same situation where I live, no trout or bass but you can always find carp

I miss what dragonfly use to be

For streamers I also use twist clips on the end of my tippet.

Liked and subscribed!

I always ignore the 5 star reviews , and read the details of the 1-3 star reviews and check the 0-1s for any recurring complaint

Wondering what wt of fly rod I should buy from max catch? I'm looking for a rod I can cast dry flies with, but also catch larger bass. If anyone can recommend me what wt I should use, it would be greatly appreciated.
