4 tips for the 4th of July!
I just found your channel through a recommendation for my local (and I think only) fly shop here in Houston. I just started my adventure into fly fishing on Father's Day and I'm completely hooked. Thanks for all the great content like this video here! And it's good to know you're near by when I finally decide to take the dive into salt water!

This Gentleman is an outstanding guide!!! a friend of mine used him twice and my buddy is a great freshwater fly fisherman!!!! and used him down there in La and had a great time in the saltwater!!!
Definitely some good advice, but for me the only place I can “practice” or look to improve is actually on the water. You definitely need a certain level of proficiency to be successful (and hence enjoy your time), yet for me if I was to practice outside of actually fishing then the hobby starts to become a Job/obsession and some of the fun is gone. Just one man’s opinion and everyone approaches things differently, but for me working on casting or knots outside of the actual river would not in increase my enjoyment with the sport.
Another great video! Thank you.
#3 for the win, hire a guide to learn and then catch fish
Alvin awesome information,agree about hiring a guide,but be open minded & learn their tricks,a good guide will teach as well as learn,practice casting but better to practice accuracy over distance,distance though important but hiting a certain target is far more important, knot wise I use 3 a perfection loop,clinch & surgeon knot those 3 are all I use & never fail me
This is a great video, Alvin (if I can call you by your first name). Kind of a corollary to No. 4 is something I read in a trout oriented book by Gary LaFontaine. He wrote that the number one thing he did before starting to fish a spot is sit down – preferably from a vantage point – and simply look around, study the water for a while. Figure out what’s going on, the bugs, the minnows, the water patterns, where the fish might be holding. That little bit of time is also great to gather your thoughts and let the world sink in reminding you of why you love the outdoors and how awesome it is to just be outside. My favorite part of “fishing”.
I subbed

All excellent advice. But for us "financially challenged " I can afford a guide about once a year. But I've been fortunate to meet more skilled fishers who tutored me.
Look forward to your videos. Thanks
I didn't fish in three months, an it felt like starting all over again, I couldn't cast my rod like I should
Great tips! I will take all the tips I can get. Hope you & the family had a great July 4th!
You are so right about hiring a guide who teaches you while you fish. I have fished with the a guide for over 20 years and I learn something new every time. He also has taught my so to fly fish. He is now in his 30's and an excellent fisherman all thanks to Pat.
When I practice should I use a fly or just line and leader?
"There's definitely circumstances where you may not learn that much from a guide…but that's probably YOUR fault." That might be one of your best one-liners ever Alvin!
Love your positive attitude and insight Alvin!
“It usually gets worse before it gets better” Ain’t that the truth! Happy 4th, Alvin.
First video YT sent me to. Well, delivered, Alvin. Peace.
always looking for new stuff from a fresh angle. good content.
Another awesome video Alvin!! Appreciate your take on how to become better at fly fishing.
Very timely. Went out this morning practicing casting and distance. Reached 20 yards but leader was bunching up so I brought it back closer and focused on technique.
Thanks great tips.
Pause and regroup, sit on sandbar, best advice ever, thanks for your time
Fantastic as always Alvin I am calling tomorrow to do that hire GUIDE part hope your available the dates I will be in your neck of the wood!
Excellent Alvin. I can cast ok. My knots are ok. I’ve been with some guides, and fish with a retired one often. BUT patience is a whole different matter..you expressed and covered that aspect so well it’s hard to believe. Thank you So much! I’ll be thinking of this video next time I’m getting flustered. Hope you’re having a wonderful 4th of July! Best wishes buddy! 👍👍💥🇺🇸
You believe this Alvin but I just started do this. I do a casting lesson about every other week, and I don’t miss a day practicing for an hour. And I sit tying my knots at home and working it out. I have not had a guid yet….. and patients an every day event 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks I learn so much from you👍
knots and patience, don't practice enough. I'm also starting exercises for fat finger syndrome. Does drinking beer help with that? Thanks!
Excellent tips as usual, and I want to focus on point 3, with a guide. I’ve been with three professional fly guides who were generous constructive coaches, when asked to be, you! and two friend guides on the coast. Communication is crucial and includes the discussion before sealing the charter. Goals and expectations of the client for the day, helps the guide plan the agenda and approach. Skill level revelation, be honest, yes everyone is an expert angler/caster except the ones who actually aren’t, humility and honesty can jump start a good day on the water. With one of my saltwater guides, he and I agreed that the charter was NOT a full-day casting lesson and instruction. I asked for tips to improve my casting, but only if he agreed to do so. He did and offered 3 I vitally needed and still appreciate, but for most of the day we focused on finding and targeting individual fish, sightcasting the flats. To me, there’s an important distinction between guided fishing and casting instructions, they can be melded on the same day but are even better as dedicated different days. Your tips on the water were not perceived as corrective but constructive. Thanks for this vid, amigo!
