The Bank - EP 12 - "38 Minutes" from JensenFlyFishing on Vimeo.
This video’s title was supposed to be “Bow River Nymphing”. However, as we floated the Bow River with David Blair (owner of Fish Tales Fly Shop in Calgary, Alberta) & Terry Johnson (Head Guide at the shop) “38 Minutes” came as a result of Terry being incredibly economical with his instruction and demonstration. From the time we cracked the camera and drone cases to shoot Terry showing & discussing his Bow River nymphing set-up, through to demonstrating how and where to fish the nymphing rig (all completed with on-stream discussion/demonstration while landing three nice rainbow trout) the total time was 38 minutes. When you travel to fly fish, you always hope to meet a guide such as Terry – someone who is clear and concise with tactics that work. This is a great video to help you understand the basic Bow River nymph set-up. It’s a set-up you can use on most waters. It’s effective and hopefully this video encourages you to simply have a go. Trout will eventually give you some love if you stick to it and heed Terry’s advice. :) jensenflyfishing.com

Sunday Double Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 10B - "The Invitation: Spidey Senses"'
Via jensenflyfishing.com:
This is PART 2 of our time with Mark & Adam of Oldman Outfitters Guide Co in southern Alberta. We got lucky on the drone shots in Part 1, and as the day wore on, something just seemed imminent. Something interesting, unique, wonderful always happens every day you're on the water with a fly rod or camera in your hands and this was no different. My spidey-senses wouldn't leave me alone and as we drift and came down the bank to find a wondrous back water, I knew we had to stop. Here's why.

Daily Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 10 - "Bow River - The Invitation"'
Via jensenflyfishing.com:
We were invited to join Mark & Adam, brothers who own Oldman Outfitters Guide Co in southern Alberta. We've been trying to fish with them for a couple of seasons and we finally co-ordinated schedules. The winter, spring, and early summer in Alberta (2016) have been hot, sunny, and dry - all the way up to the day before we got together! As fates had it, the weather tanked on us and massive cells and heavy winds welcomed us. This marks our first flight on the water with our new drone and represents what we hope to include in future videos - a strong sense of place and location about the fishing. We got lucky with the fish capture on film on this flight!

Daily Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 9 - "Bow River - Evening Caddis"'
Via jensenflyfishing.com:
We joined Aaron from Bow River Troutfitters for an evening of caddis on the Bow River. It was simply one of those evenings. We anchored in a side channel loaded with smaller 16 to 20" browns and rainbows and watched as the water began to erupt with rising trout. The caddis were alive and the trout far too eager and willing.

Daily Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 7 - "The Dropper Adjustment"'
Via jensenflyfishing.com:
There are fish that are going to get caught. This was one. 6 weeks without much rain was tempered by the cooler than normal weather. A fish that has gone into 'enduring' mode to get through the drought period, most likely by shutting down somewhat and conserving energy. We chose this stream as there had been a fresh the day before and the water levels came up 5" vertically. This pushed the lethargic fish from the deeper slots to the inside edge to avoid current flow. Dave shares some thoughts to catching it and why the fly changes and dropper depth are important and needed.

Daily Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 5 - “Splittin' the Uprights”'
Via jensenflyfishing.com:
It's a cool day. The daytime high is +12C with rain showers and wind that picked up to 100kmh. We start the day on the inside of a fast run with two dark "smudges" holding to rocks. These "smudges" are brown trout in colder water, less active as the light mayfly hatch has yet to begin and, being early in the season, there are no terrestrials about. The trouble is the two fish are only going to take a nymph and that they are less than a rod length from one another. Getting the cast flies high enough upstream to allow the nymph to sink deep enough to get the lower fish's attention while not spooking the upper fish nor inducing a downstream take from it is the issue. We wanted to try to take both fish. The discussion centers about that goal.

Daily Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 4 - “Shallow Dropper - Side Sweep”'
There are a few little hints in this one as we walk a small stream that is entering summer drought and warmer temperatures. The water is still cool but fish are starting to nose into the heads of riffles, holding prime feeding and holding lies. This is the step before they find warm water cover to rest in - or leave for deeper, cooler waters. This nice brown is actively feeding, we watched it do some wide feeding swings to nymphs prior to filming. Note the discussion about why we're using a shallow dropper set-up as well as why Dave fights the fish as he does. Both are effective in these situations.

Daily Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 3 - "Fall Subtlety on the Bow River"'
In our third episode of our ongoing series "The Bank", we are joined by Aaron Feltham of Bow River Troutfitters in Calgary. We were streamer fishing deep & heavy along the outside bend before we opted to change our tactic to something lighter and smaller on the inside subtlety. Picking off subtle seams, targeting a subtle trough with a hopper-dropper and working it thoroughly provided wonderful moments this fall afternoon. We discuss a host of considerations in regards to why we chose this feature.

| LOON LIVE: TIGHT LINES FOR TIGHT LINES |
| This week it is all about tight line nymphing: the techniques, the theories, and, of course, the flies! This is a style of fly (and of fishing) that proves that less is more. If you like catching fish, then we'd suggest that you tune in. Also, if there is anything that you'd like to see tied, then join them on Thursday night and chime in, or shoot them an email (service@loonoutdoors.com). |
