🎉I've been fly fishing and tying probably 30 plus years. self taught from the instructions on the back of the cardboard container holding the prize fly rod from kmart. i don't consider myself a good caster but the fish and memories of so many fish. i also had my share of tree and tall grass fishing. Lol.we all have . the fun and excitement unlimited. I'm disabled now and don't fish much . i really need someone to go with in case something happens. i can walk but not far without resting a bit. but it's ok, the experience and blessings I've had is worth more than gold. papa from the foothills of the blue ridge mountains in NC wishing you well 😊

The title WAS NOT click-bait. Clear, structured, video presented by a natural communicator.

After fly fishing for 50 years. I still found some very interesting lessons. Great teacher. Thanks

A natural born teacher; I find all his videos to be exceptional. Thank you, Simon.

If there was a heavily weighted fly on the end of that line, that guy would be wearing a new earring. Dropping the fly onto the grass/bush behind you doesn’t work either.

Barbless is an absolute winner in my book. You will hook yourself at some point, no matter the skill level! Besides, the survival rate for catch and release is better, when combined with best practices of fish handeling, or rather, the lack of handeling. Tight lines! :)

I really appreciate that you told fresh beginners to just not worry about the nitty gritty details

Cool to see a LAVRO drift boat in the video. The builder is my neighbor, really great guy, many years retired.

I want this guy to read me a bedtime story

Brilliantly clear instructions. The best fly casting video I have seen. Why though, is that bloke in the background jerking away with the fly rod? It's very distracting and very irritating.

This guy is great for teaching. Need a whole channel just him

Wish this guy taught me on my recent beginners course, Learnt more from this video than I did on the whole day

THE BEST. Simon always turns it so easy to comprehend... thanks so much

The step-by-step explanation of shooting line is especially good in an outstanding tutorial. Simon is the best!

What a wealth of information. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Best casting instruction video I've ever seen. Excellent!

Very nice production! I follow your work on KZfaq and this is one of the best illustration and demonstration that I’ve seen of all the fly fishing 🎣 folks I follow! Thanks so much for sharing this video. I’m sharing this video with my son and grandson.
