I normally get annoyed with cheesy intros wishing people would just get to the point of the video already, but c'mon, this one was freakin good. LOL!

Your videos are really well done! I’m forty some odd and have been fishing all my life, but I love to watch fishing videos to see what else I can learn. I’ve definitely learned a few things from yours!

Ive actually had the most success on rivers especially with high pressure using random flies with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes fish just like seeing different stuff! Thats why I like tying random, fun things. Love this video.

Absolutely the best series / channel I have found. Clear, logical and entertainingly presented. Videos are perfect length as well. I floundered (pun intended) around with a lot of other channels, including some big name ones, and this is by far the best. I have learned so much as a noob. Truly lives up to the name master class

Watched these videos for a week and went out the the first time and only caught 1 fish in 5 hrs, and today was my second time ever fly fishing, and I absolutely crushed. I truly lost count of how many bows and brookies I caught. Thank you for the great informative content👍

Thanks for all of the great info. I hadn’t picked up a fly rod in nearly 30 years. Since then the tail waters on the South Holston River here in East Tennessee have exploded with anglers. The trout have become super picky.

Notes, midge flys imitated babys in the water, wet flys imitate a fly coming to the serfuce, so move it around to look alive, dry flies are flys leaving or aproching the water and sit on top, Find a fly the same size and color to the flys and bugs around your fishing, most important is size,

Hey Spencer - what brand/model chest pack is that you’re sportin’ on this video?

Just the Orvis chest pack. I switched to chest packs a while ago because they're better for my back pain than slings/vests.

what are those hoodies you wear? Warm? I'm old and don't like cold but I don't like bulk. Could you share that info? I'm gonna have to watch this video multiple times but it is the best one I have seen. Great job!

They are Free Fly hoodies. They are nice for semi-cold days or a base layer. Not super warm for winter days. Their new fleece hoodies are pretty good too. Glad you enjoyed the video. 😎🤙🏽

Aren’t those midge patterns too big? I remember in my freshwater ecology class that we had to filter them out with a 100 micrometer mesh for the larva

@venturesflyco 3 ай бұрын

Midges are tiny. But lucky for us the fish aren't as discerning as a 100 micrometer mesh net. haha

@1121cisco 7 ай бұрын

It seems the perfect fly isn't always perfect lol. Why do some flies attract a certain type of trout. I have some flies that will catch rainbows but not browns some that will only catch browns and some that will catch both. Rio Grande cutthroats in the small streams seem to eat anything. Why ?

@venturesflyco 7 ай бұрын

Might be where they are hanging out in the water column (maybe the Rainbows are closer to the top and Browns near the bottom). Could be how opportunistic they are (Cutties are usually more likely to smack dries in our experience). Lots of factors (water temps, clarity, bug activity, etc) so it’s hard to say. 🤷🏽‍♂️
