Daily Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 6 - "The Milky Way"'


Via jensentflyfishing.com:

After 5 hours of walking up an increasingly murky side channel to a larger river that was being impacted by heavy rains in the high country, we finally came to the mouth of a spring creek tributary unaffected by rains. And cue the rising brown trout spotted in the sliver of gin-clear water. We watched a spell as the fish cycled round the clear water pocket, making moves that respected the brown's movement, its visibility, and the sensitivity to its small, quiet habitat. Note the time we take in filming this sequence, how subtle the movements are, how deliberate each move is made, when the casts are made. The first cast was taken and the hook set was ok, but note how the head turns quickly toward the angler and the pull of the line sees the hook come straight out from the fish. No matter, with low angling pressure at this location it remained on feed, cycling and rising. Next cycle around the clear water another cast, another take.
