LOVE the intro and love the content. Very approachable and thorough. As someone new to the sport, I really appreciate it.

I absolutely love your honesty. It's a good thing that you as a shop manager has the guts to say one doesn't need boxes full of flies with a lot of different patterns. "Don't get hung up on a lot of different flies" you said. So true. All together everybody can learn and get more confidence from your advice. Subscription😊👍. Greetings and tight lines 🎣 from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.

I’m 59 & this will be my 4th upcoming year of fly fishing 🎣. Enjoying the process and progress with some awesome friends! Thanks for sharing!

100%. I will go into a fly shop and just tell the employee what I am fishing for and give me your top 5. Works.

Nice video! I live in central Texas. I will probably never fish for trout. Even so, there are many species of fish here that are a blast to catch on a fly rig. I'm strictly catch and release, de-barbed hooks, etc. It doesn't matter to me if I hook a "trash fish". Heck! Sometimes I target the critters! I *do* tie all of my flies, some traditional and some frankenflies. That makes it all the more enjoyable. Cheers!

Good advice buddy, 20 years plus with a fly rod in hand (done my 10,000 hrs multiple times over)and still love learning something every time I hit the water.

Love my local fly shop! Guys there are awesome! However, if I ask them what their confidence patterns are....I'll end up walking out with about 10 dozen flies haha! They are really good fly anglers!

Great advise!

I’ve been at it for a long time and this video is totally applicable for me!

Great advice and great video. Thanks.

Great Video and I like the hat...

Completely agree with the fish for everything. I showed someone a 6 inch streamer and it blew their mind that you can fish for anything other than trout

I want to make the transition to fly but am scared of the money. Already have thousands in hardware tackle.
