    Default Video on North Umpqua River - Aug 2012

    This is my favorite video clip of catching steelhead on a fly rod period.

    It is un-cut...raw....real!!!

    http://vimeo.com/47341833

    Watch it all very carefully.......

    I wish I Spey cast as good as he does.

    Thanks golfish.............

    After watching this why would you want to indo for them?

    You catch a different type of fish swinging flies............

    Thought you would enjoy it...a little embarrassing but it's supposed to be fun and the fish gods were definitely on my side. One thing about looking like a techno-geek with a camera on your head is you can see all the things you do wrong in the heat of the moment. Bonus was later that same day I picked up a wild hen at Touvelle on the way home, what an epic day!

    Lots of things to improve but the journey is the fun part!

    I love that footage...will watch it more this weekend.

    It is the real deal......so exciting.

    I hope I can get something like that going this fall.

    Nice footage. I like those GoPros. But they really put a warp on the footage. It made Station look absolutely huge.

    When you use your Rage for waking flies, what do you use as a leader?

    Funny, just like Speyfool asked the only reason I logged on was to ask what leader were you using?

    Thanks

    Most people would probably recommend a 14' poly but I was using 10' with 5-6ft of 10lb. I wanted to ensure that the big wind resistant fly was turning over straight which is critical to start popping straight away, worked well for me.

    All fish rose on a skaopper, 2/3 fish were hooked on the comeback fly, a big blocky muddler I tied, same popping action.
