You guys are like Tarantino of Fly fishing movies. Period. Truely the storys and how you tell them make me immerse into the world that i see before my eyes. It lights a fire of wanting/striving to slowly/gradually shifting my life further to the North. Yet i want to look back at my life with the same feeling that i have inside me now from watching this. My only wish when my time will come is that i take a thick notebook of memories with me, that will be my treasure. Thank you for the love/time/care you put into these videos.

Incredible film! The camera work, editing, sound, essentially everything in this film is superb! I spent a couple weeks of every summer for a decade fishing in the Ungava region, on the Whale river, near the George. Ungava is so special, and this film really captures it. I had Sam as a pilot back when he was about 17 years old!

@TightLoops 4 жыл бұрын

For what its worth this is the far north, right on the line of the Arctic, so its not THAT close. But yeah, if you head up to that general region of the atlantic there's a lot of incredible fish, though it's worth noting that theres only a fraction of what there used to be. Current estimates for the number of wild atlantic salmon left in North America (that includes all of Canada, obviously) is about 100,000. Which is nothing.

@TightLoops 4 жыл бұрын

We don't think so! If you're a serious salmon angler (and we're talking the original salmon fishing here, Atlantic Salmon) It doesn't get much better than this. But in the end "greatest" is entirely subjective. I think small streams with 6 inch trout are some of the greatest on earth. Others want 20 inch stockers. It's up to you to decide. But the people we met on The George who have fished every corner of the planet say this is the one place that can't ever seem to get enough of, and that's saying something.

Shame it's so insanely expensive

@TightLoops 3 жыл бұрын

It ain’t cheap. But once you learn how much it costs to run an operation like that, it all starts to make sense. There’s really no way around it, and once you start doing the math of what it would cost to DIY it yourself, it’s a marginal difference to have the amazing experience of the lodge. But they understand the demographic is limited, and have recently built a more hands off cabin that’s significantly cheaper. You don’t get the full guided experience and all the home cooked meals, but the amenities are still top notch. John Gierach once pointed out the conundrum of northern wilderness fishing; when you’re young, you can’t afford it, and by the time you can afford it you’re too old to do it. In his view, it was the guides who really got to experience everything the land had to offer while still having the health to appreciate it.

But this is apples and oranges.

Just because we've got an imaginary line drawn in the sand saying Alaska belongs to the us doesn't make it separate from what you're calling "Canada". Same place, dude. Either way, you should put it to the test and fish some of the rest of artic/sub artic. I think you'll be surprised. Worst think that could happen is you see some incredible and wild country.
