Thanks for watching. As long as folks keep supporting the shop, he’ll keep making videos!
Great video, you folks are always my go to source for technical info on this great sport of fly fishing. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Fantastic video! You're a very effective educator. You simplify and deliver the info in a manner which makes it easy to understand and remember.
Thanks so much for watching.
MRO,
Not sick of hearing about it. I'll immediately listen/watch anything you want to share about leaders. Thank you so much for driving this topic into priority throughout the industry.
I'm watching those notifications for the next video on that book release and more leader talk. I'm jumping on the pre-prder when you let us know it's coming.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching. It should of course be a priority in the industry so happy to help. Stay tuned.
Love the whiteboard, makes it so much easier to understand. Great for me as a beginner, and I now know I've been double tippeting a bunch!
Thanks for watching.
Brian is truly the leader of this subject.
Nice dad joke!
Agreed.
Great refresher/tutorial, enjoyed it immensely!
Thanks so much for watching and happy to help.
I was trying to explain this to a fishing buddy the other day but couldn't do it as eloquently as you did in this video. Thanks for posting this! I definitely will share it with him.
Thanks for being here and thanks for sharing.
The was the most well thought out leader video out there. Thanks man! Really helped me understand this and the reasons behind my streamer casting issues, still new to flyfishing with a lot to learn but your videos have been a huge help. 🤙🏽
Thanks for watching and happy to help. Feel free to call the shop if you ever have any questions.
I learned a lot about leaders that I did not know! Great explanation. Awesome video! Thanks!!
Appreciate you being here and please stay tuned.
That is perfect! That IS the critical information required! You split it up perfectly by type of fishing and explained the leader action required very clearly . Instantly this pulled together several areas that I had partial understanding of and closed the gaps in understanding up so that I now know what to do, how to do it, and why I am doing it. It really is very simple .THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks for watching.
Brian coming with the goods yet again. I NEVER tire of learning from you, brother. Keep the knowledge bombs coming!!!!
Thanks for watching.
Great video - always good to be reminded! Cheers. Tim
Thks Brian for All your knowledge. Started fly fishing because of you.and still learning 😊
Thanks so much for watching.
Great video mate! Always nice to get a refresher on something easily overlooked.
Thanks for watching.
Such a phenomenal video especially for beginners, broken down and easily understood!
Thanks for watching.
Leaders and knots are my special interest point in fly fishing. Thanks for doing these videos, I have learned so much from your channel. MRO is the only place from which I get my fly fishing gear.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support.
Another great one! Thanks! Next time I'm in town will be sure to drop by the shop!
Thanks for watching and we'd love to see you!
Ive learned more from these vids than any other so far. Simple hands on instructions.
Thanks for being here!
Thanks for making this video, it helped me so much! Keep up the great content!!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
Great video, thanks for providing these great trainings!
Thanks for watching.
Brilliant videos. It's all about the detail when you're starting or returning to fly fishing. Thank you Mr Flechsig, your staff and the expert friends like Flip and Kelly for all your advice.
Is the leader book done yet can't wait. A fly Fisher living in Wales In Great Britain 😊
Thanks so much for watching.
@@DaiHGowerWales stay tuned, he claims it is close!
I'm a beginner fly fisherman and this video taught me a lot about leaders. Thank you for being one. You're a class act fly fishing teacher.
Thanks for watching and happy to help.
Great content, I learned so much. New to the fly fishing part of fishing, and this made so much sense. Thank You.
Thanks for watching.
Excellent information. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Thank you Brian for what you do I thought I was a fisher flyfisherman thank you so very much I will be in touch
Thanks for watching.
Well done. Keep putting these out in this level of detail. This is important stuff to know to take flyfishing beyond the beginner level. Good decision to keep Euro leaders out of this discussion. I think that is a whole different conversation. I'll have to go back through your videos and find some good formulas for dry and nymph leaders.
Thanks for watching.
Very helpful - thank you for yet another great video!
Thanks for being here.
This is the video I have been searching for! Thank you for clarifying leaders. I have been making some huge mistakes on the water going from dries, to nymphs, to streamers and never changing or adjusting my leaders. Game changing information. Thank you!!!
Thanks for being here and happy to help. Call the shop anytime if any further questions.
Excellent instructional vid. I can’t tell you how long I did NOT understand all this. Especially the part about double tippeting.
Thanks so much for watching and happy to help!
Very well done Brian!
Thanks for being here.
Really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos...I'm putting together some items I need and I will buy them from MRO...keep up the great videos!!!!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support. We really appreciate it.
I don't think one can ever get enough of these.
Hopefully not! As long as folks keep supporting the shop, he'll keep making them. Thanks!
This is really helpful thanks man I appreciate you’re time!
We appreciate you being here.
Brian, muy bueno y claros tus conceptos. Muchas gracias por compartirlos. Abrazo.
Thanks for watching.
I paid a lot of money for some knowledge and you just nailed it for free. Thanks !
Thanks for watching!
Professor Fly! Thank you kindly.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video, truly enhanced my understanding and fishing. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks so much for watching and please stay tuned!
Thanks Brother, I enjoy all your video's!
Thanks for being here.
I've been fly fishing for the last 3 years and I have watched every single video of Mad River Outfitters you have on it ,,I'm a Trout Fishing guy in small streams along the Simcoe County area here up North Ontario Canada and I have taken all the advise Brian has implemented on fly fishing even telling myself if it looks like food and acts like food the fish are probably gunna eat it ,,,Brian I love all your videos and all the best Advise about Fly Fishing any where ,,,,Here on You Tube ,,Absolutely Hands Down My Biggest Mentor is you ,,,Thank you for teaching me on the best way on how to fish
Thanks for the kind words. We are honored to be of service!
I actually really enjoy your 'leader' videos, Brian! Thanks. Nice shirt too!
Thanks for being here.
@@Madriveroutfitters "Double-tippetting" LOL - too much!
That video on leader information is so good, and there was so much that I did not know, now on to your #9,
MSG Leum
Thanks for watching.
Your very easy to watch, good videos. New to fly fishing and have been fishing for silver Bass in Jersey (biggest tidal range in the world and Bass love it).
Keep up the videos.
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
I noticed the analogy changed to plumbing rather than kids pushing each other up hill. Tell me Brian isnt going PC. Lol. Great video. Your leader/ tippet videos have helped immensely!
Thanks for watching.
It seems like what’s most important, in terms of gear, for fly fishing depends on what your goals are.
If your goal is to catch fish, Brian’s points ring very true.
If your goal is to show off your expensive stuff on Instagram, well... It’s different.
@@sswwooppee Oooohh yeeeah.. Easy come, easy go.. Hope you both got paid, and to kkep the fine dog - like with Hunters labtop.. :D
Around here, the goal IS to have fun……and catch a few fish. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video. So many “experts” out there spreading misinformation. This is very logical and professional. Thank you.
Thanks for being here. We really appreciate it.
Great info. My go to site!
Thanks for the support!
Loved the video. Thank you for this
Thanks for watching.
As much as I like to support local guys, I owe y’all a purchase from all the info you’ve blessed us with. Can’t wait to call you dudes when I’m ready to buy a new rod.
We appreciate the support and will be happy to help.
I'm glad you get into the technical aspects of fly fishing. It's not all rocket science, but there are many factors, depending on so many things. I have spent many years and a lot of money doing things wrong, dealing with frustrations, and almost gave up Fly Fishing a few times because of bad information. You hit the nail on the head with this video, and until everyone learns how to get to your target, and present to your target properly, unfortunately you will probably be frustrated. I change my leader and set up, sometimes a few different ways within 100 feet on the same river. It's all about conditions, and how I need to get to my target. Figure out easy systems on the river to help change out quick, but also saying that, don't get frustrated. River therapy is part of the experience. When changing things up, take it all in. Don't forget to look up. It's an amazing hobby/sport. Thanks for all you do Brian, we need more like you in the business.
Thanks for being here.
These guys are fantastic, I am sure they are Buckeye fans, but at this point, I don't even care. Always learn good stuff.
Thanks for watching. No Buckeye fans here though.....they are all anglers that just happen to live in Columbus, Ohio.
My 2 girls are practicing on my old 1981 Fenwick 6 wt, fiberglass w/ Pflueger reel. We are in Kalamazoo, lots of water here for the Mighty Bluegill on flies; Shout out to Jason and Caleb across the street learning this stuff too.
Thanks Brian, nicely done, I have seen them all☕️☕️👍
Thanks for watching.
Ty great info. Helps out some issues I was wanting to know.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Great information! Thanks!
Thanks for watching.
Caught my first few fish on the fly this past weekend. In no small part to all your videos!
Thanks so much for being here and congrats. It's an honor to help!
Good stuff Brian! I been telling people for years, last thing to worry about is rod and reel.
Thanks for watching.
Love the channel. Thanks for the knowledge !!!
Stay Motivated !!!
Keep It Tight !!!

Thanks for watching.
Another great video, thanks 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for being here.
oh, this was really helpful, thanks Brian. Greeting from Europe
Thanks for being here!
Thank you for clearly explaining leaders my friend.....
Thanks for watching!
This was the most informative video on leaders ive ever seen. I always wondered why i was struggling with the betts bass bugs on my 5wt, maybe because i had a 10lb tapered leader when a taper wasn't nessesary. So excited to go out again 😂
Thanks for watching. Please note that he did not at all suggest a taper isn't necessary. It most certainly is. Leader = Butt (taper) + Tippet. Feel free to e-mail him or call him if any questions.
@@Madriveroutfitters I thought I figured it out lmao, I guess I'm still over thinking it. When it comes to dry flys and small jig streamers I understand but throwing heavy flys and big streamers I'm slightly lost. I think where I'm going wrong is trying to use pre tapered leaders with the tippet being too thin. I measured some 20 pound mono and it sits around .016" I guess I should float it down from 20lb, 15lb, then 10lb for the taper. I'm probably best just to email him huh 🤣
I love this channel & these education videos are awesome.
Thanks so much for being here.
Brian, thanks for your tutorial. Very illustrative even though some segments look like an intelligence report.
Thanks for watching. Certainly not an intelligence report if Brian is involved!!!
Excellent, informative video!
Thanks so much for watching.
agree 100%, I've had to use my 5wt fly rod (broke my 8wt steelhead) with your leader setup and landed 8-10lb Steelhead full of piss and vinegar. It's the Leader setup!!!! Thank you Brian
Thanks for watching.
Again invaluable tutorial Brian 🙏🤝 What I would add more, in fly fishing with a double handed rod for salmon, leader in most cases is more important than the fly. And in any spey casting with either SH or DH rod, leader is the most critical piece of the rig, period.
Thanks for watching.
This video instantly took me back to both math AND music theory classes! Couple of Advil should do the trick. Great video
Thanks for watching.
Thanks, I got it ! Now it is clear thanks to the metaphors and drawings. I'm going to start working on the nail knots and get some contact leaders, some 4x leaders. I've been catching fish with my cross water 5 wt 9 ' rod and 5x tapered leader, but I need the knows, since I am a beginner. I thank my lucky stars, that I became very good at spin casting and bait casting, before attempting to learn this. I kept wondering about the tippet and I still wonder how the old timers did it. I caught the video on ditch the welded loop and it made a lot of sense to me too. I appreciate this lesson and hope to do some shopping with you all in the future.
Thanks for watching and for the future support. We appreciate it.
Thanks Brian, very informative as usual-Kind Regards Ray-Oxford England
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video. I’m a beginner and it was incredibly informative.
Thanks so much for watching!
Another great one!
Thanks for being here.
Thank you for so useful video.
Thanks for watching!
YOU are my leader. No, I'm joking, and I haven't yet had time to start fly fishing, even though I cheat and use fly and bobber. BUT I learn so much from you and really enjoy watching your videos. An autumnal thank you from Norway!
Thanks for being here.
Great info, cheers!
Appreciate you being here.
love the videos! and the Christmas vacation reference :)
Thanks for being here.
Thanks a lot Brian. My wife just overheard you saying there are a lot of fabulous $100 rods out there. Now I'm in the doghouse!
At least he didn't say "Extra Fabulous". That's a different video and should get you off the hook.
Makes so much more sense after this.
Thanks for watching and happy to help. Stay tuned.
I have a scientific anglers fly rod from my grampa and I built my own leader. It's what I got right now but it works. I'm looking forward to learning much more about fly fishing and hopefully I will be able to upgrade the old fly line soon and buy some proper leaders and tippett material.
Thanks for watching and let us know if we can help!
My fly rod was $30 dollars and it was awesome… now my fly rod is free thanks to my friend in Michigan. I love this video I needed this knowledge
Thanks for watching.
Great vid! 🙏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching.
Great info. Thanks
Thanks for being here!!!
I thought a leader video would be boring. I was wrong. It was quite interesting and I learned a lot. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
In my view, leaders are the actual part of the fly line system that delivers the fly at the end of the cast. Yet, of the components (rod, reel, fly line, leader) of the casting process it seems leaders are the least understood. Your videos have been my go to for information regarding the use of the leader and has greatly improved my casting and fish catching abilities. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for being here and happy to help.
Another great vid of education!
Was the “end of the line” book ever published? Have been searching for it.
Thanks again for everything you do!
Thanks for watching. He’ll for sure let you know when the book is available! Stay tuned.
I agree mostly with the "double tippet " thing. If you understand the taper of the tapered leader you can continue the taper from a 2x to a 3x or 4x or whatever. Its a good idea to know how to do this if you find yourself in a situation where you dont have the right leader and you want a longer lower diameter leader for spooky fish. Or maybe you find yourself nymphing unexpectedly. There are a number of different situations where you might want manipulate a ready made tapered leader actually. It would be nice to have a ready made for every situation, but it doesn't always work out that way. Which after watching the whole video you covered perfectly in the last few minutes haha
Thanks for watching. Pretty important to watch the whole video on something like this. 😉
hey brian - excellent discussion. perfectly logical to me .... thick to thin. simples :)
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video 🙂,,
Thanks for watching.
I love these guys! If you need anything, go to these guys. They taught me so much from their videos. Also, they answer your calls and take their time with you.
Thanks for the support!
Excellent
Thanks for watching.
Tks Brian. U explained leaders excellently. I made alot of leader mistakes due 2 misinformation. I know better and I didn't but high $ rod n reel! Lol. Keep up the good videos.
Thanks for watching.
