Dear Howard, thank you for this video explaining your favourite river rods. Given that your ahead of the game unlike many others, please do a remake of this video when the successor series of the Ultralite LL will be released
Thanks for the full exhaustive description , expertise is not water ,really enjoyng the fruits of your precious collaboration on Hardy projects , looks like the company made an amazing jump on to let astonished and without words even the USA market .
As always, outstanding info. Love the comparisons and your decisioning process for rod choice. Also, your early comments about how difficult (impossible) those questions are to answer. Looking forward to giving the new Hardy line-up a go. Thanks!
Hi Howard like your video I want to night fish for sea trout In really low water the river is narrow to medium i was thinking of getting the 9.2 4 weight line would it a good buy or what would you choose the fish range from half a pound to 5 pounds or
morning Howard , , how you doing , just been going through some of your earlier video's , and watching , Leader connections Pt 1 Whipped fly line micro loop , and was wondering where you got your super glue dispenser from , most times in bottles and ali tube's it goes rock solid,, well back to the bench,cheer's Ian
Thanks for the video Howard. In one of your videos, you mentioned using the o'pros rod holder when fishing two rods. I like to use two rods and move up river. Leaving one on the bank means a lot of backtracking (and looking around for where it actually is). I use a chest pack. I'm wondering if you've sorted out a best-method for using the rod holder when using two rods. Thanks for your efforts!
Hi Martin To be honest I’ve ditched the o’pro for now as mine seems to constantly work loose and gone back to a fixed belt type that’s set up at about the best angle for me . I occasionally push it down the front of my pack as well .
I just cut back a 7.5 ft Tapered leader and add a micro loop so I can knock on level tippet & droppers , generally I keep them fairly short - around 10 ft overall.
Really depends on the method but primarily a 9.6ft 7# or 8 depending on wind / required distance . I do drop to a 6# for dries sometimes when thin tippet is needed . 10ft is also fine but typically harder to use into a head wind .

I have this watch list ''Fly Masterclass'', just realised, I put all your stuff in there before I even click the play button. Thanks, for sharing!

Great video Howard, thank you for posting. Do you have any suggestions on tying up a leader for spider fishing? Thanks again!

@@howardcrostonflyfisher9227 Thanks Howard, have a great summer
Howard, how about small waters (UK) what rod weight and length do you fish with?
Really depends on the method but primarily a 9.6ft 7# or 8 depending on wind / required distance . I do drop to a 6# for dries sometimes when thin tippet is needed . 10ft is also fine but typically harder to use into a head wind .
Are these the ultralights or the ultralight ll?
Ultralite LL
Thanks ordered a 9 2 4 weight for the ribble and Eden thanks for your reply
