You’re attention to detail is 2nd to none. Everything you you do on the water is calculated and shows how good of an angler and guide you really are. Always appreciate the videos being new to this hobby.

This is undoubtedly one of the finest fly fishing videos I've come across, and it's without a doubt your best work yet. It's refreshing to see a focus on mending techniques, which are often discussed while the camera is fixed on the rod or instructor, rather than capturing the intricacies of the water and the actual presentation. Unlike many KZfaqrs who seem more interested in showcasing themselves, you and your wife have skillfully captured the true essence of the technique. I sincerely hope you continue producing such informative videos, with a keen emphasis on the finer details and close-ups of the water. Your approach is truly commendable and sets a new standard for instructional fly fishing content.

I’m just getting back into the game after a prolonged absence and came upon your channel and I’m so impressed with your ability as a teacher. Not only that but as a dad as well and the way you impart your knowledge to your son. It showed when he commented on the netting attempt and you deftly deflected any blame. Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Joe and family, outstanding video and instructional dialog, so much great information. You have such a wonderful gift for teaching, you are down to earth, alway positive, and stress proper handling of netted fish. I have to find a way to travel west of WY and MT and come see in the PNW. Tight lines.

How did you enjoy the Echo Trout X. I was thinking of a Sage payload 6wt perhaps too heavy for dry flies. I wanted a rod for drys and nymphs and streamers. Like a Swiss Army knife of you will of rods.

@redsflyshop 11 ай бұрын

Excellent rod. At that price point the only comparable rod in our shop is the Beulah Guide Series II rods. They are pretty close. I have a full blown review of the Trout X that I filmed the same day, but haven't edited that one up yet. It's night and day beyond the original Echo Trout. Not even in the same league. It's a fine rod.

@jdigioia1130 11 ай бұрын

Finally got to watch the entire video - outstanding stuff Joe, thank you again! Is this the trip that you tested out the Trout X rod? What reel and line did you pair with it? Tight lines! 🎣

I fished the Trout X with an SA Amplitude Infinity Line, 5 on 5. Very nice casting rod.

Hey Joe, what length of leader do you use when you drive fly fishing? I’ve been using a leader that is about 12ft on my 5wt/9ft rod; I build my own leaders based on a George Daniels formula

@redsflyshop 28 күн бұрын

For most of our fisheries, we don't run much over 9' as we have fairly technical currents and accuracy is more important than stealth. 7.5' 4X would be pretty standard for me, I'll stretch that out to 9.5' or 10' with small flies and more selective trout in flat current.

@ibookje 11 ай бұрын

Man there's so much information, terminology, 'hidden' execution, etc. I can imagine anyone somewhere in the beginner to intermediate level getting really confused. Maybe we're trying to teach too much in a short time. What's wrong with a learning path of several years rather than becoming a 'master' in two weeks?...

Might as well give 'em a chance. Viewers are pretty smart.

It's not, it's a channel on the Flathead. The water color is very similar.
