Fly Fishing Techniques for Exploring Backcountry Rivers - Behind the Scenes with Brian O'Keefe 

I bought a Scientific Anglers starter kit with a rod, reel, a box, leader, fly line and a few flies when I first began fly fishing. It came with an instructional DVD that I watched a few times and it featured a guy and his wife who I never heard of before then. Brian O'Keefe, and he got me started. It took a long time to even be competent at fly casting, fishing, line control and just in general. But I won't forget seeing this guy to begin my journey of fly fishing and always recognizing him since. What I didn't know about him was his expert level casting and insane adventures to incredible fly fishing places he would go on and he has become a fly fishing idol for me. If I could credit some people for getting me into the hobby, he would be top 3.

O'Keefe's a madman. I love his style of fishing.

Right on! Wonderful scenery, gorgeous trout. Those techniques are great for my local smallmouth too. Under the overhanging trees is a great cast on a sunny day. Cheers from Chicagoland.

Good stuff from a masterful angler! For all those anglers who want to learn the nuts and bolts of fly fishing Brian explains it well.

The first cast in this video was beautiful. Fast forward cast followed by lifting rod tip up helped the turn over of the fly line. Absolutely great work.

As soon as a notification appears on my cellphone, I immediately watch your content. Like the previous content, I always get inspired and observe it until it's finished, then rush to comment Healthy greetings and success always for Catch Magazine and Todd Moen 😁👍

Terrific work fellas, you guys never fail to impress and crank out endless top notch content! -huskey

Amazing work Brian!

GREAT documentation!🐟🐟 ... Cheers from Austria!🍺🍺

What fun😉

спасибо, отличное видео

Great, well-done video. A little different style than your usual videos, but the same excellent quality, and lots of good information. I'd like to ask Brian how he always runs over rocks, boulders, and log jams and never seems to slip, much less fall.

The mouse video is also awesome

Un crack Brian!

👍👍👍

I'm trying to remember if he has ever spoken in a video before🤣. I just figured he was the actor/stuntman😉.

Why are there not amazing contents like this about spinning?😢

What attractor fly pattern is shown around the 2:50 min mark?

Вашему отношению к природе можно только позавидовать! Как и скандинавам... 👏👏👏👍👍👍 В России вас тоже смотрят! 😉
