Thanks for tuning in! The wrist is very important in fly casting and we hope this little lesson benefits you!

The helicopter bit was hilarious. Love the videos. Learning a lot.

This man is probably the best Dad / teacher to have around, I wish he was my uncle 😂 thanks so much for all this content

The guy sitting on the bench in the blurred background... beginning to think he was dead! Then he moved! He was in the previous episode too! As always thank you MRO and Brian for sharing some of your wealth of info and knowledge. I know for sure it has helped me!

Nice video and great instruction. Awesome series!! Thank you, Brian........

Forever learning thanks 🇺🇸

You all are master at teaching all things fly fishing. I am forever grateful for the knowledge I have gained from this channel

One thing is the content that you provide us which is very useful. Another great aspect that I like about you vids is how you do it. In my view you are doing it in a very down to earth, natural, alive, easy to understand and sometimes funny way. That is owesome. Many thanks for what you are doing!

3:38 this man is speaking strait facts 😃

I am a guide at a fly fishing & hunting club. 90% of my clients have never seen a fly rod. Always looking for quick ways to get them casting and your videos are straight forward and concise. I am going to blatantly steal from you. Keep up the great work.

Just started! This videos are awesome. Thank you so much

The sound of freedom! Great video presentation

3:30 that’s the video quality of every “alien sighting” video ever

I can’t wait to get out there! You make it look so easy and to imitate you, not you, but your technique is indescribable. Thank you

I had a couple Doug Swisher VCR tapes when I started fly fishing. I remember the "Micro Second Wrist".

Just got my first rig today. Can’t wait to start practicing and catch my first fish.

I love Fly Fishing! Just started, today was day 1 spent an he practice casting. I can't imagine what kind of addiction is otw after I catch my first fly fish

The fact that you don't leave out the helo and make it an opportunity for an edit is glorious. I love you guys LOL

Nice video Brian 👍🎣 , Great informational advice on casting techniques 😉

As always very good keep up the good work. This old dog can learn some new tricks

Very novice fly fisher here Bought what I assumed is a decent cabelas 8wt combo a few months back Caught a few 3-4lb smallies Wading in my local river, goal is muskies by next year Your videos have been immensely helpful in teaching myself proper technique, I still have a long way to go but I'm unsure on where I'd be without mad river. Keep up the good work bud.

Thanks for showing a newbie. Im just starting out fly fishing.

2:42 "...just like you're hammering a nail..." That's what I was taught. You can't hammer well with only a wrist break and you can't hammer effectively without a wrist break. I find the timing is similar, also.

Awesome video. I have learned a lot from you and thank you for that. Thank God for our military. I am a disabled veteran. My son is in Iraq as I txt this. God bless you and your fly fishing.

Flick paint, flick paint. Throw dart, throw dart. Hammer nail, hammer nail. Wax on, wax off. Cast up, cast down. You are indeed the Mr. Miyagi of the Midwest fishing world. Thank you Sensei.

Amazing video, very informational!

Holy crap Brian; you fixed my creep!!!!!!! First cast 75 feet!

Awesome video thank you for the tips!

Your videos are great. The only thing I'd like to see is the camera zoomed out more when you're talking about tight loop formation. Greetings from the UK! Keep up the amazing videos and content!

Nice! I found this wrist flick is very important for tight loops. I did it by accident a while ago but stopped after reading a lot on casting saying dont break the wrist. Ive changed to a more fixed elbow moving the rod roughly the 90 degrees with a wrist flick and its effortless to throw good loops over an okay distance of 60 odd feet.compared to the elbow sliding back and forth. Took much more effort for me. Maybe i did it wrong. Probably. Thanks for your videos.

I need this series but for spey

To prevent you from breaking your wrist, you can place the butt of your rod into the cuff of your shirt. It works as well as the two mentioned props.

Fly casting video at the casting pond? Very nice

when practicing casting,should you practice with just the fly line,or should you have something on the end of it

Feel like those “loop assist” tools would give you more of a crutch opposed to muscle memory?

Will try to drop the fly rod immediately after the back cast, even if wading deep! 🤭

When practicing fly casting in backyard, should there be a fly at the end of the line ?

You want to get good at the wrist break? Get a 9wt and head to the Salt Flats in the Gulf.

Ok. Question. You do this little tug when making both motions if your cast. Is that something we can add? Your line is two color, is the orange the weighted forward?

Thanks dude 👍

Do you pull the line back with your left hand during the up cast?

After watching for a few minutes I noticed in the repetition I could see a secondary "jerk" in the wrist as the line went from front to back (or backward). It made me wonder where relaxation comes into the picture, as I took it from that that you let the rod do the work and the wrist is just holding, and the work is in the elbow until the end when you relax the wrist and let the line drop on the water. Please make as much sense out of this as you can.

Anyone see that fish jump at 1:43? Lol

Why's is it so important to keep your thumb at the top of the grip?
