[@aarongreenlee7867]

Brian, I am not much for fly tying, but I do like to support you guys as a thank you for all that you do in any way I can, including watching this video. Those books sound like great resources.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks so much for the support.

[@jameswill1862]

When will we see your book ???

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. You'd have to check with him directly on that. We don't have that information here. Send him an e-mail or give him a call and he can surely fill you in.

Thank you for posting. You will need to do a review on Pat Dorsey's new book Favorite flies for Colorado. So good.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

I am new returning sportsman. I have shelved my love for fishing for at least forty years but because of my love for my grandkids I felt that I needed to give them an education on fly fishing. Trying to be ready the next season.thanks,

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and let us know how we can help!

The Feather Mechanic by Gordon van der Spuy is another good book that gives the history behind the pattern and explains each thread wrap, the how and why.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

Hello Brian, New subscriber and new to fly fishing. Just purchased a steelhead combo and learning to cast in my backyard. My question is Should I be using my dominant hand to hold the rod or control the line? I am left hand dominant but use spin cast rods where I control the reel with my left hand. I have found that of all the fly fishing videos on YT, yours are the most informative and enjoyable to watch.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and for subscribing! Please send your questions directly to Brian at the shop and he’ll be happy to help. Send him an email or give him a call.

Your book coming out soon????? 👍😁🥳🎉👏🥇

[@Madriveroutfitters]

You’d have to check with him directly on that. We have not heard anything lately.

I may not partake in the odd fly tie …but I do partake in the odd mai tai … if the counts?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

The counts. Thanks for watching.

[@ruebdogg1]

$100! Sounds great but does it come with a free whiting saddle hackle? 😬 nice book plug but hard to justify when tying material$ and tool$ aren’t cheap these days. 😳

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@Avicados]

Very true statement

[@FishItLures]

Soft hackle is a wet fly?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Yes. Here is an old video where Brian talks about it and ties one:

When’s that Mad River guidebook getting reissued?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Not sure if he has plans to do that or not. Feel free to e-mail him or call him directly though. He would know. Thanks.

[@Rastafaraization]

what about saltwater patterns?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

All of the techniques used can certainly be found in the book. Please call or e-mail the shop if any further questions. Thanks.

[@DaSlippyNana]

What are the Best fishing waders?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

That would be a question for the shop. Feel free to send them an email or give them a call and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
