Flip Pallot is fly fishing present and past. They just dont make guys like him anymore. He is a humble genius of fly fishing.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Agreed! Thanks for watching.

[@maniachill3069]

I met Flip in my state of Maine 20 years ago and he autographed my fly vest with a Sharpie. I still have the vest, but unfortunately his autograph has bleached out from the sun.
Great guy, love to see him. I loved his original episodes of fly fishing.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Flip is one of the greats for sure!

[@billbromer]

Laughing out when Flip took the fly back from Brian at the end. Of course Flip let Brian have the fly in the end, but the look on Brian’s face was great.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching! They work pretty well together.

[@MartinDoubek_ArnieX]

Yeah I loved that moment too. Flip looks like a cool guy :)

[@danaerickson1777]

That soft chuckle just before Flip says “I’m really not a fly tier “…. Epic for sure, just can’t get enough of Brian and Flip together 😎

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@danieldowning4583]

Looking at the hands and eyes of this man, you can see the years of experience and skill. what a treat.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@TDTeddy]

Makes ya wonder what else those hands are skilled at…

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

Hi there! This was a really great video. Watching the king teach the prince a thing he uses as therapy. Is perhaps the essence of fishing and fly tying. This gave me new inspiration and faith in catching fish in the future. The fly should be called "wing-it"

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here and thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed.

[@Seven_Craig]

So good to see the legend at work. Thank you!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@OscarOverlanding]

Thank you! I just met an amazing 84yr old young man (who has been fly fishing since he was 12) this last weekend on the north fork of the John Day! He was catching em up!!!!! Wise time spent!!!

Two great men, and Flip is just amazing to bad there are not more like him👍

[@Madriveroutfitters]

I could listen to him tell stories and tie flies for hours. Would be like learning from a grandpa or great uncle. Priceless.

[@garykrebs9562]

Had the privilege of doing a fly tying demo with Flip several years ago. Understand being nervous! Lol was a highlight of my fly tying days. Thanks for sharing!
Gave him one of my popper jigs, he refused it,,,,, chuckled,,, then handed me a pen and said, "only if you sign it" lol super cool experience for me! Thanks again!

Flip....best name for this fly

Thanks for watching.

[@PatapscoMike]

That hand whip finish he did was in one of Joan Wulff's old fly fishing books. I taught myself to do it using her illustrations back in the 80's when I was in high school. I wonder if he learned it from her?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Awesome catch. Thanks for being here!

[@davescheer5038]

I can’t believe I just found this video, having flip tying and knowing that if he said he makes these and uses them it’s 100% going to catch fish ! You can almost guarantee that Brian’s putting that fly in a frame on the wall ! 👍🏼

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. It’s on the wall in his office at the shop.

[@johnnylightning1491]

It's kind of gold in color so it's got to be the "Eldorado" or maybe "Flip's Eldorado". As far as that vice goes I've got one that was either my dad's or maybe my granddad's that looks very similar but without the Renzetti modification. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!!

[@caryverhalen]

Flip is a national treasure. His voice captivated me while viewing his television series, "The Walkers Cay Chronicles." Flip is to us as fisherman, what Edward VerHalen was to guitar players. I'll be very sad when he exists earth

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here.

[@brian1204]

I first learned fly tying in the late 60s, and all my whip finishes are all manual! Don’t own a whip finishing tool.

[@Dani_simu]

Call it “The Flippen Lefty” and hello Flip from Titusville, Fl.

Some of my best catches were caught on flies that i just winged it on because they just looked cool.

[@garrydurfey9700]

I can’t believe this popped up in my feed tonight. Been exploring fly tying videos so the magic of RUclips probably loaded this for me. But I just had to comment and ask a question being my first time on your channel. I saw the Ohio Gazeteer behind you, are you in the vicinity of Springfield, Ohio? Seems like a lifetime ago when I was at Wright-Pat, but I was into whitewater kayaking and had yet to pick up a fly rod. Yes, I know, I missed a bunch of smallmouth from there, the Little Miami, etc……if I have the correct Mad River.
My comment concerns Flip. Gee, I loved Walker’s Cay Chronicles and I could listen to Flip all day. I couldn’t wait for Sunday mornings to watch the entire lineup, but even my wife would watch Flip. Especially the episodes with his wife (was it Diane?). Gee, to see him in this short video made my day….and more. Thank you for sharing this. And even his sense of humor taking the fly back from you, to me that was classic Flip. And yes, it also makes me miss Lefty……. Their videos together, you could tell they were more than friends. Sorry for going down that path….but you brought back a flood of memories. Thank you.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Tons more with Flip on the channel. The shop is located in Columbus, Ohio. Full details and link in the video description.

[@garrydurfey9700]

@@MadriveroutfittersI realized you had the google map links to your shop ……after I posted my comment. Gee, will try to read all the notes next time. Guess I got excited about seeing a video with Flip.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Very cool , giving the Dr. Slick scissors was such a great gesture and I’m sure Flip appreciated that . I was kind of waiting for Flip to break out a bottle of the 21 year old Frigate , that will probably come once you name the fly . Until then
Happy Trails

Since it looks like a pheasant at first glance I’d call it “the cackler” or “the Flipping Pheasant” as it flips in the water and was made by the legend himself

[@dixonmak]

Thank you for the wonderful vid. Will you be following up on where one can get that hook mentioned in the video? Cheers!

Yeah, "I'm not a good fly tyer".
Ties an amazingly effective looking fly😉

One bad fly there to another. I use two feathers and a couple inches of wool. In yet I catch the Walter's of the lake. Last 6 day's at the local stocker lake I landed a 8 a 9 and a 10 lb Rainbows. Biggest fish of the year most every year as well as winning the big derby with 387 Fisher's on the lake. I release all the Walter's even though there is great prizes for that. Oh I don't know how I figured out the Roll Cast Release close to the boat. As I've found out you very rarely catch a fish with your line out of the water. In
