As usual, like most professionals of any sport who have spent 10’s of thousands of hours perfecting their sport - Mr. Pallot makes it look so simple! Please keep your how-to’s coming, I need all of them...
It’s interesting to see how tackle has changed. Hadn’t fly fished for some time and went to get a new reel. Asked for a right handed reel. Guy asked me which hand I asked which hand I cast with? I said right. He said I needed a left handed reel. I think this is a generational thing and due to the fact that most fly reels pre late 80’s? were right handed and most weren’t convertible. And so we leaned to cast right handed and reel right handed like Flip and many great casters do. And just like many tools ( Skill Saw, drills etc.) were set up for right handers. Things have changed with many tools being now being ambidextrous and more lefty friendly. It does make ergonomic sense to reel left handed if casting right handed so you don’t have to change rod hands. For me, as I try to age gracefully, a key is to continue to learn new things. So I bought the left handed reel and am learning how to reel left handed. Another thought also occurred to me. Since I have so many right handed reels, and so I’m learning how to cast left handed.

I’ve done very little fly casting from a bow, but often wondered how you keep your fly line out of the riggings of the boat. Excellent tip!
Thanks a lot! This master shows it so well
That's something I have thought of alot thanks for sharing. it's the little things beginners need.
Yoda has spoken🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Cool tip with Flip!
Awesome
Awesome thanks for sharing.

What lb leader would you start on a 9 wt floating fly line
You might not be able to do that if wind is blowing into your casting arm; unless you want to wear the fly as you see the fish go by…
If Flip says it, make it so.
