This is the best series I found about fly fishing, I’ve watched a lot of videos but most of them are not as fun to watch or don’t learn as much as I’ve done by your videos. Thanks
As a new fly fisher I have not purchased waders and boots due to the financial commitment. Do I really need them? What are the challenges with owning them? Care routines? Lifespan of a good set? Tim from Floyd VA
Hey Tim. Pros of the waders: they keep you dry and promote better stability in the water while standing and moving. You can fly fish without waders (referred to as “wet wading”). But depending on the water temps and how stable you want to be in the water, that might not be an option. They are a financial commitment, but if you’re going to be fishing often, it’s well worth it. In our experience, there are tons of factors that go into how long waders last (how many days you fish a year, hiking in them vs just fishing, brand, etc). Our recommendation is to buy your first pair of waders in the $200 range. You’ll probably get 75-150 full days out of them and can usually repair them as needed. Care - hang them up to dry every time you get home from fishing. Hope this helps. If you have any more follow up questions or want to discuss further (preferred brands, boots, etc), fill out the contact page on our website and one of our team members will help you out. 😎🤙🏽
Thanks for a good video but I hope the part about bringing the rod parallel to your ear isn't too important because I have no idea what that means. My rod is straight and my ear is pretty much a collection of curves, how do I make the rod parallel to that? What part of my ear?

Good call. A better way to say it is parallel to your body. So straight up and down vertical even with your ear.
I can do this ..... Used to climb trees and can do this with rope
Most Fly Anglers keep a lot of secrets though.
