Sunday Double Reel...'The Bank - Ep. 10B - "The Invitation: Spidey Senses"'

The Bank: Ep 10B - "The Invitation: Spidey Senses" from JensenFlyFishing on Vimeo.

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.
