Join me (Mike Kirkpatrick) and good mate Hans Kreuer as we search for a location with a forecast that might just give us the chance of some sun to wave a flyrod under for a day. The weather for the opening month of our season has been average at best, and with fly fishing being more than just catching fish, we yearn for some nice conditions to simply enjoy the day with fish being a bonus. We found some of that sun on the afternoon drive in, as we stop off briefly to check out a spot, before setting up the tents and hitting the river early the next day.

@GaryP747 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome video! The measure for me is the welfare of the fish, you guys did good; less than 10 seconds out of the water and they'll likely survive. Gloves beat hands as our skin temperature burns the Trout's skin and leaves the mark for days! The more we know the more we can look after them 👍 If you want to kill a fish, that's OK but respect it for what it has sacrificed for you! Keep them coming and thanks ✔

@mikefsher 2 жыл бұрын

Sure thing, we have a great love for the fish we chase and often catch certain trout more than once with no signs of having been caught. Sadly some claim we've 'killed that fish' by handling them with gloves... some actually get really rabid about it, although mostly from anglers based in other countries. So i'm with you and we'll carry on caring the best we can for them and our environment.

@GaryP747 2 жыл бұрын

@@mikefsher Gloves are a great utility, bare hands leave burn marks on the Trout for more than 7 days! Love your ethics and care for the welfare of the animals that grace us with their sport! We all want more and bigger fish an d we need to realise this is not our ultimate goal! 😎
