That's a sweet video. The guy with the hat with the long neck flap fishes like I do. He fights the fish with his right then switches the rod to his left hand and reels with his right. Glad to see I'm not the only goofy one out there.

Sweet! Have you guys watched the Beattie outdoor productions stuff? He has some fantsastic shorts on Vimeo and YouTube. This one has some great footage, but disclaimer, it is an ad for a guide service...I have never used them and doubt I ever do, but I dig the footage.

Check out confluence films too. They have some good stuff.

Hah...I know where I stand in the fly fishing social circles so to speak randy! But I am mostly kidding. Carp have gained a small amount of respect out there, and i still love to catch anything on a fly rod. That said, I am doing a carp presentation at the orvis store on April 14th. If you are near Portland come by and say hi...1030-1100. I still have those bow pictures you sent me years ago.

You got our respect bro no worries.. all these videos got me pumped up for fatty trout! Almost got my jacked enough to get my lazy arse off the couch to tie some flies just now.. if I watch then a few more times I might end up on the bench!

I will be on lake MI (WI side) in June. Love that place.

There are some sick videos out there. Check out faceless fly fishing, those guys get some killer images.

OK, since we're on the subject of dry fly takes...what got me hooked in this fly fishing thing was last year, my first few tries with a fly and I cast a caddis (as best I can...mediocre ) upstream. It's drifting back toward me, through the riffles, when a 12" trout leaps out of the water. Now, this fish isn't 'large' by any means, but it leaps a body's length in the air, completely missing the fly. I have a split second to kind of chuckle about that, when the fish nosedives back into the water, mouth enveloping the fly! I set the hook, fish on, land and release.

That was the coolest moment I had witnessed in fishing and I knew I'd keep up the practice of tossing flies from that point forward!

That was beaver island. I know the guys that run the guides on beaver (indigo guide service). The carp on the fly world is still pretty small. Beaver island is on my list, as well as grand traverse bay (where the vid I posted was taken). I fish lake mi on the WI side for the third time this year...lake mi is an absolute treasure.
