Thanks for your comment. I'm delighted you enjoyed the series so far and are looking for more. We have three seasons filmed and on the Far Bank RUclips channel, so if you haven't seen all 18 episodes, check those out. If you have and are still looking for more, you might have to wait a while as we don't have season 4 filmed yet. If we film that next summer, then the series wouldn't be available until the following spring. I will be uploading season 2 and 3 to my channel here in the next couple of weeks😄

I didn't realise you had another channel. I've subscribed and will catch up on all episodes. I'm fairly new to fly fishing. Had some lessons a few years ago. Now fly fish once a year at Meon Springs in Hampshire with a couple of ex work colleagues who have retired. They are instructing me and loan me some gear. I'm at the point that I want to buy my own gear, not too expensive and fly fish 3 or 4 times a year. I've been looking at various You Tube channels but your videos are by far the best.. Thanks.

@@dangreasley7934 The other channel is the one put out by the company I work for, so is ore up to date. I just add the videos I have made for them with their permission. I hope all goes well in your fly fishing career. I haven't fished Meon, but have fished a number of lakes and rivers in Hampshire - very pretty part of the world! If you are looking for a starter kit for lake fishing, I'd suggest going with a 6wt rod, around 9' 6" in length. You won't go far wrong with that size of an outfit. Best of luck with it all.

I think this was one of my favourite episodes, to be honest. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for your comment and support. Good luck with those knots 😄

Appreciate it - good luck on the water 😄

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for commenting 😄

There is a couple that I have done, perhaps the best one is this one that I did with RIO a couple of years ago: ruclips.net/video/ep70_39Ys0c/видео.html. Let me know if this is what you had in mind...

So sorry about the delay in replying to you, but somehow I missed your comment. I really appreciate your kind words and your support - that is very much appreciated. I'd love to put together a video on atlantic salmon fishing and will suggest that to the powers that be. Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for commenting 😄

Sorry you didn't get anything this time, but hope your luck changes for the next. Thanks for commenting, and I'm glad the video gave you a few ideas.

Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for commenting. Good luck on your fly fishing journey - hope it's a fun one for you 🙂

That's great to hear, thank you. Hopefully you continue to learn and enjoy this wonderful sport. Tight lines

🤣

Thanks a lot. I hope to be adding a few more new videos once I get more gear purchased, and more time to do so :)

Thanks for checking this video out and for your good questions. Yes, the difference between the MOW and replacement tips is that the MOW tips are level while the replacement tips have a nice front taper. You can use level tippet material on either, but generally I use a tapered leader on floating and intermediate tips, and short, level tippet on the faster sinking ones. Hope that helps :)

Thanks for you question. If everything is equal you will probably cast further with the longer rod. There is a good guideline that you gain 10 feet of casting length for every increase of 1 foot of rod length, so if everything works, you'd get another7 feet or so. Hope that helps...

@@simongawesworth7812 I'm so grateful for your patient answer, really help.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting. We'll pass this on to Simon

Thanks for your comment and endorsement of this. I'm sad it only got that many, but it might be because it is on my channel. It got a lot more on the proper Far Bank channel at least :)

Tough to accurately call out which problem it is without seeing it. I don't think it is a blown anchor as you are unlikely to get that kind of distance with a blown anchor. It also doesn't sound much like a tailing loop either. A tailing loop is where the top half of the loop comes up from below the bottom half of the loop as it is unrolling. The lines cross and you can visibly see the two halves of the loop hitting each other. It doesn't sound like this is the problem either. The comment you make about the upper leg having a little curve in it would lead me to think it is simply that your forward acceleration is not smooth enough.

It probably is to many anglers...

Thanks for those kind words. I'm delighted you have enjoyed some of the work I have done, and very much appreciate your comments. It would indeed be nice to meet on the water - always the best place to be!!

Thanks for watching the video, and for your question. It sounds like you have too steep and/or too deep a dip with your rod tip when making the D-loop stroke. The flatter and shallower your rod tip travels during this, the lighter the line will land, and the straighter the anchor will be. Hope that helps a bit...

@@simongawesworth7812 Being grateful for your direction.I have fixed some parts of the anchor problem during this 2 day pratice,and I started to learn a single/double haul.Then I found another problem,I can make a roll cast about 50feet distance,and I make a spey or switch cast,didn't get a longer distance than a normal roll cast, with big D loop,high line speed,only turn over more powerfully,pull the same length of running line.A single/double haul is also the same problem,I get more speed line and a tighter loop,but the distance doesn't get longer,another thing is when adding a haul ,the head tip and leader alway piles up at the end of turn over,then drop down.If I using a haul,don't shoot any line,it turns over normally.I use a 5wt 9ft single hand rod,RIO SHS 5wt 34ft line,and a RIO Scandi short 210grains 28ft,＃12、＃14 dry flies.I think the rig should have enough mass and power to turned over the flies…

@@loomi47 Sounds like you haul timing is wrong. A haul should give a switch cast another 10-30 feet of distance, depending on your skills. I can only assume it is that...

@@simongawesworth7812 Okay,I will keep pratice for the right timing...hope it works...

Glad you enjoyed the series. Thanks for your comments

It’s an audible representation of what my Spey casts look like…. One day I’ll figure these out.

So sorry about the delay in replying, but somehow I totally missed your message and comment. I was in Washington, but have recently moved back to the UK, which is probably a bit far for you to join me :) I do teach a few schools in the US for Fly Water Travel, but we don't have any lake ones scheduled at all. Maybe something to consider for next year...

So sorry about the delay in replying to you, but somehow I missed your comment. We (RIO) did a know test on many fly fishing knots, breaking knots on a fibre testing machine called an Instron. Ut showed us that the Davy knot was one of the weaker knots for tying on a fly - some 20% less strong than an improved clinch or non-slip loops, for example. Easy to tie, yes, but the reduction in strength is a big turn off for me. 😄

So sorry about the delay in replying to you, but somehow I missed your comment. That's a great question, but simply, the Perfection loop is smaller, neater, and presents the loop far nicer than the double surgeon knot. It's only downside is its breaking strength - about 50% of the tensile strength of the material. This means it is totally fine, and by far the best choice, in thick leader butts of tapered leaders (around 40lb in strength), but if you use a level tippet of, say 4X/7lb, it is too weak. Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for commenting 😄

Thanks...

It all depends on how much line you have out. At a short range it will be pretty underloaded, but if the WF has a long head - say 45ft or more, it would technically be overloading the rod...

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. That would indeed be the "flip" outfit!

🤣🤣

Thanks :)

No doubt that that's a great way for fishing in those situations, but not so good for practicing this exercise :)

Good point indeed, now I see that when I review it. Much appreciated...

That is what retirement is for! Now that I'm in my mid-seventies and can no longer really do endurance sports, casting is one of the few things I can get better at. I'm even trying to learn Spey casting. And since I'm after Atlantic salmon, which are few and far between, I really do go out with the objective of practicing. If a fish happens to get in the way, so much the better!

I hope it helps a little - let me know if it does :)
