    Outstanding video once again. All the Orvis videos are terrific and I wanted you folks to know that I intentionally bought a new Orvis reel to support these videos. Thank you so much and look forward to more videos and more reels in my future! Ha ha.

    I know it is favorably used by most guides (if not all). No matter how you package it, the "old school", will always call it "bobber fishing." Whatever makes it easier for the guides, or whatever floats your bait.

    I am going to try the 2 indicator system in our river for sure next trip, actually might try this afternoon, we have a deep slowish flowing river just down the road I like to drift fish from a dinghy. problem it would solve is our fish really reward you getting the drift right in slow water that can be difficult.

    Great video. I know that weight is sometimes needed but I dislike splitshot because it moves down your line when you cast unless you connecting knot happens to be in the right place. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    • @daveschlom4033
      @daveschlom4033 Рік тому

      Put a simple overhand knot just below your shot. Or put it above your surgeon's knot. You can also use a tippet ring or micro swivel. Any of the above will keep you outta slide down syndrome. Which is SDS I guess!

    • @DarryLavid7227
      @DarryLavid7227 11 місяців тому

      A little tungsten putty right below the split shot helps too, but the overhand knot method works the best.

    Feather indicators... you can loose-tie a feather and pitch it with your leader. They lay flat and help your fly with natural movement.

      The reel I think you are speaking of is the Mirage LT. Tom used different colors of this reel in the show. View them here: www.orvis.com/product/mirage-lt/2MTS-Family.html

    Putting those hard plastic spherical indicators on a leader makes casting utterly miserable.

      @Richard-du7yj 10 місяців тому

      Depends on what fly you want to use. Some people refuse to use split shot and they catch plenty of fish. Tightlines.

  • @Grateful_Ryan
    @Grateful_Ryan 3 місяці тому +1

    Why do you spit your line into the water after you've bitten off the excess, when tying on a fly? In a previous video you complained about stick on indicators polluting the river, but you're spitting plastic into the river...

    How to sell bobbers, call them indicators.

    • @orvisguidetoflyfishing
      @orvisguidetoflyfishing  9 місяців тому

      both names work, basically floatation device and easier to cast that tradition large plastic bobber

  • @daelpixphotography
    @daelpixphotography 2 місяці тому

    I don't like the wool indicator, because if it comes off, you'll also lose the plastic tube, which adds more plastic to the rivers, and seas. Not for me thanks... I'm surprised you didn't review the foam tubing. First time using indicators, and I find it ok. It isn't brilliant, but it's fine for the rivers I fish, but they have a tendency of not staying where you put it.

    For Pete Kusher: Pete, I've been fly fishing for over 50 years and I'm always game to learn something new. But my pet peeve with your instruction is about you saying the rod travels on a straight path from back cast to forward cast. An efficient cast has the rod moving fore an aft in a straight line in one plane only (the direction of the cast.) However, as seen from the side, as in all your instructional videos, the rod tip clearly describes an arc from low point at the end of the back cast to high point above one's head in the middle to low point at the end of the forward cast. Your instruction is confusing in that it leaves to the imagination how much or little the wrist should play in casting, and leaves out the most important point that it is essential to keep the the pivot point (elbow) in the same place throughout the cast. Your oversimplification drives me nuts and makes it harder for people to become competent fly casters.

  • @phylsjourney
    @phylsjourney Рік тому +1

    A petty thing, but it drives me nuts to watch a person reel and fish with the same hand. Switching the rod back and forth, way too inefficient..

    • @23v0lv32
      @23v0lv32 Рік тому

      😂 rookie angler spotted! - switching hands is the old school method that’s common with a lot of old timers. It’s how I learned when I was young. I agree with you though! Rod always in your dominate hand and retrieve with the left!(non dominate hand) 😂

  • @bolling9193
    @bolling9193 Рік тому +1

    I'm not a fan of indicators. It's something guides came up with to make sure the "sports" catch some fish.
    I was not taught to Fly Fish with indicators and I'm glad for that.
    Why not just use one of those red and white plastic things.
