Blane's a good dude who's found relevancy in an over crowded market. Proud to be on the TFO team with him.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Agreed. Great guy and great friend to many.

[@krazygoofadventures8031]

Brian, this is my 1st exposure to you. What a great video. Didn't that Lefty carp story make it into his 101 Fish? So true that we need to keep pushing and guys like Blane have the talent to do so. Plus he's passing it on to the next generation.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here. We appreciate it.

[@martywilhelm9700]

Enjoyed the video. My son and I went to Blane fly fishing store in Roanoke Virginia.

My @TFORODS Brother has paid his dues and deserves being acknowledged. Way over due. Enjoyed the interview!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

[@jackreeves3001]

I love your channel and the way you represent fly fishing. Keeping on doing your thing. Thanks for sharing! KANSAS

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks so much for being here.

[@alkinceratfafterthefly6284]

Yeah!!! I remember waking up and watching Walker Kay

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Pretty true for most of us these days in our 40’s and above.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Good video Brian. Blane just verified something I heard a long time ago I believe it was attributed to Thomas Edison. "Genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration." That is why when he came back from a fishing trip he would go to the vice instead of the couch. Nice interview. Now please have someone interview you about leaders. I'm still waiting somewhat impatiently for the "End of the Line." Keep the good stuff coming.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching! We'll pass along to Brian. Hopefully some good news soon!

[@jeffbrooks8288]

Brian, thanks so much for the quality content on your channel. I discovered Mad River last summer and became exceedingly interested in the Game Changer content you’ve produced. As a result I’m spending the winter tying feathered game changers and polar game changers with materials I sourced from Mad River for the pursuit of trophy trout in the Stillwater’s of Utah where I live and fly fish.
Blane’s designs and materials have found their way into the fly shops in my part of the country so there’s no doubt in my mind that game changers are beginning to take hold out west.
The game changer platform allows fly tiers like me to adapt patterns for my specific type of fly fishing with large or small streamers that have movement and action unlike anything I’ve used before. We’re pretty excited for ice off in the spring.
I want to personally thank Blane for sharing his God given talent and for expressing his feelings on the topic. I can tell you’re both honorable men.
Best wishes!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks so much for being here and for watching. Glad you are enjoying and please stay tuned.

[@TheSumdogmillionaire]

What an excellent interview. I came away with a new appreciation for Brian, Blane, and all they guys they mentioned.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.

[@zachmedeiros4163]

Not to get all sentimental but this really spoke to me. It’s so incredibly cool that you guys got to meet and fish with legends of the sport. I truly hope that I can learn enough to pass on the love and skill of fishing to my children some day. This channel’s content is awesome!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks so much.

[@ArkansasFishingVideos]

Great interview, looking forward to more!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.

[@alkinceratfafterthefly6284]

What's the best game changer for largemouth

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Every single one will catch a largemouth, but you can always call the shop for a consult. Someone there will certainly have an opinion.

[@victorfitzwalter4042]

Where can I get that hat he's wearing?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Maybe give Brian a call at the shop? He may know.

[@garrettbachman6248]

Done!

[@nline2blast722]

Is that a fish pond hat?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Not sure on what hats they are wearing. You can check with Brian at the shop and he may know?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Just checked with Brian and he said his is a new Mad River Outfitters hat and Blane is wearing a "Game Changer" hat. No Fishpond. They are both representing their "brands". Thanks.
