In this video, Brian Flechsig at Mad River Outfitters breaks down three common fly fishing questions he always sees, 1) how do I calculate the size of my leader, 2) how do I properly practice fly casting with a leader and 3) how do I match my fly to my rod.

I’ve been fishing for 14 years, I’m of the opinion that once you learn the basics and have a few years of experience you’re allowed to break the rules to suit your needs 🥸
thank you for the video I watched it mostly for the fly size to rod size part but I did watch the whole video> even thou you did try to answering the fly size to rod size question I am left in the same place but it does make more sense mostly because I got this one old spey style fly 1/0 and well I cast it on my 4wt 8wt single hander and my spey rod and then I got this other fly intruder style 2 station 45mm shank 2/0 stinger and XL lead eyes and well I dont think ill ever try to cast that with a single handed rod even my 8wt spey rod 475 skagit head its unruly for me. Small dry flys the 4wt is my choose
Thank you Guru Fleshsig! The hair looks fabulous today, as always!!
Another very informative video Brian always look forward to seeing them
This video is like a breath of fresh air in a world filled with negativity.
I was pulled over by the tippet police once. But I flashed my natural gut leader and tippet and they let me off with a warning.

Good words about practicing fly casting. Last year, in preparation for a trip to Canada going after Northern Pike, I tied up a large hook with lots of maribou for air resistance, weighted it with lead to simulate the streamers I was going to use, and then cut the hook end off, leaving just the weighted shank. I tied that on to my leader and practiced with it out in the front yard. Of course, I live in the country, so I wasn't worried about looking like a dern fool.
Great content as always Brian. I can attest to the fact that every e-mail gets answered. I have never sent an e-mail, and not gotten response, and I've sent plenty of them. So if y'all have a question, e-mail MRO, and you will get an informative answer. 4 thumbs up to MRO and all of their staff.
Hey Brian, thanks for the information. Why do you divide by 3 or 4, where does that number come from?
And Brian floods us with great informations once again, great vid
Brian, you are so good! Ive been casting flyrods for 64 year. The men that got me started simply said do this or do that an I learned by makng mistakes. Seems newbies today want ti be told how to do everything. Your patience is wonderful. I practiced on the water. I tried diffent size leaders and tippets with differt size flies. I read books like Ray Beegman's Trout and others. Your advise is always well thought out. Just sayin
Another great video!
As always, thank you!
