He removes all the BS attitude and keeps it simple and plain spoken and friendly. What a great teacher.
😊😊
I wish I had watched this before I spent five catchless hours on the Lamar River in Yellowstone today-but tomorrow I’m going back armed with these tips. This is a fantastic teaching tool.
He’s genuinely tired of catching them all so he gives all the tips he can 😂 we appreciate you
I can't believe it why us mere mortals deserves such high quality content
You are worth it

I'm sure the universe has something less palatable in store for you and me at some point😅
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I think that's is the key difference between the regular fly-angler and the great fly-angler. For me as a newbie in fly-fishing it makes all the difference. Thank you, Tom.
I’ve been fly fishing for several years and this video definitely corrected several errors in my setups.
This is extraordinary material. I think Tom is by far the #1 fly fishing facilitator worldwide. Thanks again for keep making fly fishing more fun for all of us!
You are most welcome
Tom has single-handedly made fly fishing accessible to me. There's no way I could afford gear AND lessons/guides right out of the gate, and his videos are the next best thing to in-person instruction. Thank you!
Thanks so much that's very flattering.
This is easily the best video on RUclips that goes over this information. I’ve been a fly fisherman for a couple years now and this taught me things I hadn’t even considered. Absolutely stupendous and I will be showing it to every single new fly fisher I come across. I love Tom’s videos.
WOW! So much great information in this show. This one goes down as one of my favorite episodes you’ve come out with-so relevant to where I am in my fly fishing journey right now. There’s so much info packed in, I’m going to have to watch it multiple times! Thank you very much!
Wow, glad it was so helpful
Great stuff Tom, especially your attention to detail in the part where you teach folks how to rig a dry dropper. Another great learning opportunity for everyone that participates in this great sport regardless of experience. Thanks!
You are very welcome
I bought my first fly fish kit this year and those videos have been a gold mine of information! Thank you so much Tom for sharing your passion!
Thanks to Orvis and Tom - another great instructional video. :-) These make such a difference to me.
LOVED this video!
I'm going to try dry-droppers, indicators, and nymphs now.
Thank you for such excellent teaching.
Hi Tom. Thankyou for your videos, l love watching them. I come from near Manchester in England and fish stillwaters. I find your footage very inspiring and it gives me lots of ideas. I tie my own flies too, and your fly box gives me lots of ideas too. I'm a fifty year old single guy. My dream was to work a few more years and then fly fish my retirement in the beautiful countryside of Wales, where my family and I have holidays so much. I've worked hard all my life. However, having never been a smoker or drinker and always looked after myself, I was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, stage four and given so long. So maybe I won't manage it, or maybe in another life?. Who knows. Your footage definitely helps me along. Thankyou for giving your time so that we may fish better and catch more. Best wishes to you, Ian.
Thanks Tom, so much practical advice packed into this great production. Y
So glad you liked it
Tom is such a great communicator. The way he takes us along the path of learning is such a great and fun experience. Orvis is such a great company to give us these little treasures of teaching. They really make great products as well!
It is our pleasure
1st indicator, bobber fishing I knew about was being used on the hatchery grounds of the Caledonia Spring Creek. Water was crystal clear, 4 to 6 feet deep and slow moving. Even though on hatchery grounds the wild brown trout were notoriously selective and hard to catch. The great bulk of their diet in the drift was and still is midge larvae and pupae. The best fisherman of the era fished very simple thread flies that took less than a minute to tie. A scud pattern was developed there documented in the early 70's in Fly Fisherman Magazine. As a teenager Tom learned tof fish these waters well.
This is simply the greatest instructional video for fly fishing I have ever had the pleasure to watch.
My favorite vid so far.... answered questions I didn’t even know to ask! Thanks!
Glad to help
Fantastic and comprehensive - I love the two indicators for tracking drift.
It's sometimes a helpful trick
Great informative video as always! We appreciate you sharing the knowledge that you worked so hard to get. It helps us get through our growing pains so much faster on the fly!
Great video Tom, great instruction. I recently watched the video with George Daniels also and I must say, you guys at Orvis are top notch.
On of the best videos on fly fishing ever! Thank you so much for making it simple for me!
Fantastic video, thank you! I took notes and sketches while watching. Great quality & helpful video.
The best video yet on nymph fishing bar none. Thank you Tom
Awesome content--thanks so much Tom! As an Orvis employee and avid angler myself, I am definitely going to refer inquiring customers to this video. If possible, I would love to see a similar video on euro-nymphing because from what I can tell, there is a need for a comprehensive video on the subject. Keep up the awesome work--it's much appreciated!!
There is one. Check the series. We did one with George Danial
Tom, your videos are super informative and entertaining. Thank you! Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
This is probably the best video yet. Thank you so much
Tom- You hit the ball out of the park with this video. It's simply the most comprehensive video on the subject that I've come across. Btw, I recently acquired a copy of your book, Prospecting for Trout. It's an entertaining read and I've learned a number of things that aren't covered in any of the many other books in my library. An oldie but a goody. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, take care
Best in depth information I have come across in one place. Many thanks
Thanks, we had hoped to make it complete as possible. It's a long one!
Grazie Tom , greetings from Tuscany, Italy!
Always come back for a refresher every year… Thanks.👍
Great video! Watched it end to end, thank you Tom! (and team)
Our pleasure!
Super video!! That was a big help to allow me to fine tune my technique. Thanks!!
Glad it helped!
I really enjoy listening & learning from this guy ....
I’m a beginner and and this information is really great . Tom thanks 🙏
Wow! An amazing and informative video ! I catch lots of fish nymphing with an indicator! Although I use the tight line method more , I usually switch to indicator fishing in high water and when fishing far seam lines , where wading isn’t possible!! This video I’ll watch more than once ! Thanks
so glad it was helpful
One of the best content I have come across. Thanks a lot.
Great video! I am a beginner and that's exactly the information I needed Thank You Sir!!
You are very welcome
nice quick stress free release Bravo!
Great information in this video, and well presented. Thank you very much👍
This is fantastic! Thank you for the quality education!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have learned so much from all of these. Thanks guys.
You are most welcome
Tons of great info here! Thank so much for sharing!
Tom is such a great teacher, thanks so much bud
Thanks Tom and Orvis. Wonderful, comprehensive instruction. Definitely one of the best fly fishing tutorials I have seen.
I should thank RUclips too. My golf and fly fishing game would be a lot sorrier without it. And my wallet would a lot skinnier be too. Love the free instructional content.
Great video as always. I'd have to say my favorite go-to rig on any water is a stimulator with either a midge or juju beatis as a dropper.
Great viewing thanks for the hints and tips
You are most welcome
I just love your videos! I have fished for 3 decades before I found your channel, you taught me how to fly fish! I never tried it before because I thought it was way to hard to learn! Needless to say I was wrong! I’m hooked on it now! I have an outdoor RUclips channel and would love to do a collaborative video with you! I’m planning on going up into the high Unitas for 3 days without food or water, just bringing minimal gear for sleeping, cooking and catching fish. I would love to bring an orvis rod and reel, or have the company of another person or two to teach survival skills to and of course to learn more about fly fishing! Please let me know if you would be interested in coming along!
Lots of great Grey Reef footage!
The yarn indicator works well, my only problem with them is the one I was using was getting bit not my nymph !
You realize that this calls for a 'yarn indicator fly'! LOL! :-)
Such great content. Learning a lot here.
My favorite Instructor, hands down !
Thanks for the input...should help tons. I'm catching fish, just not as many as I could. this kind of input helps...
Best video so far, GREAT!
Glad you liked it.
Thank you. Great information and attitude presenting of it all.
Always great info thanks
You are most welcome
Great Tips and video - Big Regards from Macedonia - Balkan
Great video, Tom. I’ve been fishing nymphs under an indicator for some 40 years, and I learned some new things to try on my next outing. I’m curious about the reel setup: You appear to be right handed, so why have the reel mounted so that your right hand has to crank the reel? As a right-hander, I like to have the rod in my right hand and reel with my left. Maybe it’s just personal preference, but if there’s an advantage to mounting on the right side, I’d be interested in learning.
Thanks for a great video. I would add this trick. The folks from Thigamabobber make a mini version called the Unibobber. It's made to be tied into A dry fly, but I have been using them as an indicator. They're almost as sensitive as New Zealand wool, but you don't have to fuss with desiccant. I put a bobber stop on either side for easy adjustment. They won't suspend a #8 Polish Woven nymph with a tungsten bead but for spring creek stuff it's been a successful technique for me
Great tip!
On my local river (Animas in Durango CO) the orange indicators seem to attract fish. I can remember a few days where the most action I had was a fish hitting my indicator. That's always a little depressing lol.
Happens to everyone from time to time
Great info Tom
Thanks
You have helped me so much I thank you
Happy to help
Buen día tom tus videos son los mejores que e visto técnicas ,paisajes ,pesca felicitaciones!!! Desde argentina 🐟👌🐟👌
Awesome video. Nice Haircut!
My hair is a bit longer these days...
Tom should do” whats is my bag?” Video
There is one on the Orvis You Tube Channel
Tom I use the pinch indicators in the middle of my euro sighter. I put a small touch of crazy glue on them them press them closed in my quick vise. It makes it much easier for me to follow the sighter.
Interesting--but hard to move!
Well done and very informative.............Thank you.
Just wondering why you have the reel crank handle on that side of the rod if you are 'right handed. Then you have to switch hands to reel in the fish. See video time @ 46:10
I don't know why, but I've always put my weight between my two flies. I'll have to try changing that up.
Great video Tom! Just wondering why you are using a left hand setup reel, but switch over to a right rod grip.
Hey Tom, I just saw this video [again] this past weekend on our local PBS station in Syracuse. At 12:27 +/- in the vid. I notice the tippet ring tied in at the bend of the Chubby Chernobyl. Great visual of the way it is tied in. Did you ever show this procedure in any of your videos?
Excellent production [as they all are] and really enjoyable seeing you in them.
Hopefully we will be able to see you again one day, up here in Central NY; [ahh the good old days at Vad's] .
All the best
Chuck
HI nice bit of info thanks use this weekend in tummut nsw
I have that sling pack and after a day on the river my back is wrecked from the offset weight. I also do a lot of boulder scrambling where I fish and even with the cross strap on it’s a hazard. Last trip I just used my jacket pockets but that’s not a summer option. Anyone have tips on this bag or opinions on better packs?
When fishing a dry dropper or double nymph rig (maybe w indicator), what's the ideal rod spec to be using? For reference, assume fishing at or near Manchester VT
Very informative
my cousin and I caught a number of trout in an Auchenblae burn using a champagne cork as main float with a garden fly suspended beneath!
One very fine indicator was overlooked sadly a high floating small red ,orange ,green ,ball that does not mess up kink yer line, has a small center hole that slides up & down Tippet as need be with 1 or 2 small pointed tooth pic points as holders in place ,Item Does not come of unless tippet line breaks of above it ,2. Item does not inhibit air as much as scary Yarns, never needs to be dried / treated with those nasty chemicals or dried toxic powders . This is a durable hard core indicator high visibility and last a season in short 7.5 ft to 9ft leaders used and fished 3 ft deep or more on more were durable tippet exists . I tied my own Fluorocarbon Tippets with first 5 ft 15lb for plenty for average fresh water trout up to 10lbs ,3 to 4' ft of 7lb tippet 6-7 mm which handles 10 to size 22 flies easily with 5/6 wt fly rods or lower 3/4 wt bigger 7/8 .get on the ball with indicators . keep waters safe not add to? ps Most flies can be made lead free with glass or brass bead heads or aluminum wire not LEAD! Want to have a lead head toxic heavy metals in blood forever ? Please advise wisely ok John? keep waters clean ?
Tom I use airlock a lot, 1/2” most. I use clear or white and color one half with an Orange fluorescent marker. This way the fish sees clear or white and you can easily spot the bright orange half.
Great idea!
Does the indicator end up setting the drift depth of the nymph?
Great instructional video! One question. why don't you reel with your left hand? Looks really fiddly swapping over all the time
I thought I was pretty cool Tom seeing you lose some trout. Even the best Ain't So Perfect. I love watching all your videos keep rocking it
Thanks I will!
Another amazing video. It was hilarious when you told Jeremy to shut up. I love these videos. They're beginner friendly too and I greatly appreciate that. Thanks for the tips and the humor too. 👍
Fly fishing is nothing without a few laughs
I have never really used an indicator, I have always just used the upstream approach when nymphing.
That works as well, and it is so much nicer to cast
That's how I learned and had done or decades. Last year I found someones indicators left on the river bank and decided to try it. Haven't gone back to fishing nymphs without one.
On what weight and action fly rod 1/2 inch air-lock indicator can be used? I think they won't be comfortable in casting with slow action or UL rods (2-4 wt).
would agree, five weight or six would be best.
When using a hopper with a dropper rig doesn't the hopper serve as the indicator
vape fluid bottles that have been cleaned out properly might make an excellent bobber.
Do you think trout would become spooked when I use a yellow or orange indicator during the fall?
Depends upon how much pressure the trout are receiving. If you're concerned, use a white one. Looks like foam or a bubble on the water
What net is that around the 9:50 mark?
I inherited a Leon Chandler by Cortland rod from my dad a couple years ago after he passed. Just picked up an entry level Cheeky reel and am slowly adding to my kit. These videos are amazing and super helpful. Beautifully shot and inspiring. Thank you.
an old orvis model looks like
I love your fishing bag. Where can I buy one? Thx 🙏
Great video as always. Tom u the man
Aw shucks
Were there two indicators on at some points (10:28, 40:14)?
never mind, it was covered at 46:52!
Do Yarn indicators hold up a fly well?
If it's not too heavy. But you can always add more yarn to get better bouyancy
Is it possible to become an expert fly fisherman by watching one video? I think I just did... that's a wealth of info there, I'll have to leave the salt and fish a river one of these days, the trout don't stand a chance lol! Great video.
the great part about this video is the host gives you confidence and makes you feel like an expert
Great information... love your vids but why do all fisherman that make videos release the fish back?
it is all a personal choice about C&R
Your friend and mine, Kelly Gallup says, the difference between a one fish day and a ten fish day is often one split shot.
so true
What boat is that @13:40?
Adipose Drift Boat
Cool bobber
Does anyone no what sling pack that is ???

Hi Tom in your sling pack what zinger do you use for your nippers ?
Super, thanks, ;-)
