Hi, Hale (or Haley) here. Just a girl looking to share videos of hunting and fishing adventures with friends and family. Homebase is New Hampshire.
Road Trip! Heading West in Self-Converted Shuttle Bus RV (Summer of Fly Fishing Week 3)
Over the past two weeks we shared that we had quit our jobs and hit the road in our self-converted RV - an old shuttle bus that we have made into our fly fishing adventure vehicle. This week we’re leaving New York and heading west so that we can fish some of the epic western rivers we’ve only ever dreamed of fishing.

Dry Fly Fishing the Delaware River and Visiting Trout Town USA (Summer of Fly Fishing Week 2)
Переглядів 6812 місяці тому
Last week we shared that we had quit our jobs and hit the road in our self-converted RV - an old shuttle bus that we have made into our fly fishing adventure vehicle. Last week, the dry fly fishing went from good to frustrating. This week, I started off by breaking my wading boots. Skunkings followed. I eventually got into a couple fish before the week in New York came to an end. But this isn’t...
Summer of Fly Fishing Week 1 - Hitting the Road in Shuttle Bus Converted into Off-Grid RV
Переглядів 2802 місяці тому
I’m baaack. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a video but this video is just the beginning of what is to come. Will and I have converted an old shuttle bus into an off-grid fly fishing RV and after months and months of going back and forth trying to decide what we wanted to do with it, we decided to save up as much money as we could and hit the road. We’ve quit our jobs and have plans to ...
Spring Dry Fly Fishing for Brown Trout
Переглядів 6662 роки тому
We’ve waited all winter for this, and it is finally here! We made the best of slow season and even caught some fish BUT, after months of cold and ice and snow, throwing mostly nymphs and squirmy wormies - the thought of a dry fly hatch is enough to make me giddy. The first big hatch around here is the Hendrickson hatch and the fly shops are reporting that the hatch has begun. Dad, Will, and I h...

Per tradition, me and the fam took a week off work to go out to the Delaware River system in New York to fly fish for big wild browns and rainbows. Bug week lived up to its name this year with plentiful hatches of March Browns, Grey Foxes, Green Drakes, Isonychias, and Golden Stones. The fish rose to the occasion as well - I earned new personal bests for Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout on this tr...

Winter Fly Fishing: Let's try this again!
Переглядів 3032 роки тому
Last year was the first year I put any real effort into winter fly fishing. Here’s a video of how things went: ua-cam.com/video/C6n6BN7sXBw/v-deo.html Long story short… I was skunked for the first 3 months of last year. When this winter rolled around, I seriously contemplated NOT attempting winter fly fishing again but, opening day came around and my determination to get this year off to a bett...
My New Favorite Fly Fishing Hooks

Disclaimer: Video is not sponsored. None of the hooks were free. I was not paid to like these hooks. I'm just a girl trying to catch more fish. I have two new favorite fly fishing hooks! I think these hooks are helping me to increase my fish-landing percentages, and who doesn’t want to catch more fish? In this video, I’ll describe the hooks and my recent experience fly fishing with them on a tr...
Winter Fly Fishing: Not for the Faint of Heart
Переглядів 6433 роки тому
I was finally allured into the pastime that is winter fly fishing. "Try winter fly fishing," they said. "It'll be fun," they said. With not a whole lot else going on, and the legends of giant trout being caught on the fly in the dead of winter, I decided to try it out this year. There were cold days, colder days, freezing days, rainy days, snowy days and not many fish. If you’re into toe warmer...
Rainbow Trout DRY FLY Fishing: Cast to Catch and Release

I came across a real pesky rainbow trout while I was dry fly fishing the Hendrickson mayfly hatch. He refused three different dry fly patterns until FINALLY, he ate. By some small miracle, I was able to capture the take, fight, photo op, and release on video. Thanks for watching! Tight lines and bent rods, my friends!

3wt Fly Rod Shootout: Cheap vs. Expensive
Переглядів 75 тис.3 роки тому
Let's set the smack talk aside and put my super budget-friendly 3 weight fly fishing setup (the Maxcatch Extreme) to the test against some higher priced (TFO Pro 2) and quite expensive (Hardy Zephrus) competitors. We've put together a shootout to test the casting accuracy and distance of these rods. The results may surprise you. Links to Gear on Amazon: Maxcatch Extreme Fly Rod: www.amazon.com/...

Great video. Well done
Why the hell do you pronounce the last words of a sentence moaning?
Great info thanks for sharing
Isn't that drive around the bottom of Chicago lovely! lol
love your content, the videography is top notch guys. fly fishing is one of my biggest hobbies. New sub!
Nice video fishing in my home waters. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one to experience the frustration of the upper Delaware system. Did you call your dog Bobo? I had a dog named Bobo, short for Bozeman.
Great video really think you highlighted the marginal gains by spending a fortune on equipment. The only parameter i think that's missed is presentation, and to be fair its a very difficult parameter to measure as its subjective. Its possibly the most critical with these light 3wt rods, but having fished lots of rods im going to wager the difference is not significant enough to warrant the difference in cost. Great job i will be liking and subscribing.
I love your setup
Living the dream.. Dare to go where most just dream of!
Awesome Video. Reel people Reel content!! What is that rod you use, its been in most of your videos I think.
i agree, so down to earth and relatable.
In my experience, I've used some Sage, Orvis, Fenwick and Reddington rods, all borrowed. I'm now throwing a Douglas Era 9ft 5wt. I am a very new fly fisherman and I absolutely adore it over everything else I've thrown. I am casting further and more consistent. I started being able to reliably throw nymphs, something I've never done effectively before. I really like Douglas - I strongly suggest them. They keep their prices quite lower for the quality they're outputting - they avoid a lot of nonsense bells and whistles and don't worry about pure cosmetics (color, artistry). They're putting rods out there that are effective, affordable and user friendly.
11:10. Use better fish handling practices. 1. Net 2. Wet hands. 3. Use the rod to bring the fish in instead of hand lining the fish in. Can’t wait for you to lose the fish of a lifetime because you don’t have a net and try to land a fish like that.
PS. This is how we do it in Norway: ua-cam.com/video/440jjZKMq7M/v-deo.html 👍😃
In the past you needed to pay for good tackle. However, technology has improved and now you can get good gear at reasonable price levels. Good job on this piece of work.
I almost asked if you were going to film this trip. So glad you are. Can't wait to see your adventures. Best of luck.
That looks like a great river for soft hackles. Did you try any? I’m a master at replacing broken boas. The new boots like nice but get a boa repair kit and fix em around the campfire next time. 😏
🤭
Beautiful river! Nice to see a film from you again! 👏👍😃
Glad to see you making videos again! Love the SHORT BUS. lol
Thanks so much!! Hoping to have new videos up every week through the summer 😁
Great video! I need me a magic bus like that one
Thank you!!
I have the maxcatch extreme 3wt, I own about a dozen fly rods and this is one of my favorites
I miss your reviews !
Not shocked! I have 3 rods from maxcatch, 2 glass 1 graphite and they perform the same as rods that cost 2-3x as much. Great video!
great video!!!
Anyone else thinking of Lena Paul while watching this?
I personally find the mid range rods are the best. Like a tfo professional or a Redington classic trout
My 3 wt rod is an older Winston 8ft IM6. I mainly fish small er waters with it here in Montana. I Love it. When I fish the Missouri I use my Orvis 9 ft 5wt. George in Montana
Now time for 2 handed rods shootout
Awesome review! What fly line did you use?
I’m a custom rod builder and agree with this statement as buying a cheap 3/4 wt fly rod & even a fly reel is a wise decision 👍, 6wt & up I definitely build custom fly rods
i’m 70 years old, been fly fishing for sixty years, i’m not used to a girl talking about fly rods and fishing, but you had me listening intently. i’m dang near convinced to pick up a Maxcatch no.3 since i’ve wanted to try one for years. thanks for the shootout
Maybe you can try the new Mustad Heritage hooks and tell us what you think (they have a new high tech coating and the narrower Alpha point). We have had a difficult time finding any customer reviews on those. I read somewhere that Mustad is phasing out the Signature series in favor of these new hooks.
I have an Aetos 6wt and it really is an amazing rod, especially for the money. But since it is relatively inexpensive the cork is wearing down really fast. Nice review!
Imagine paying so much money $$$$$ for a rod that barely performs over a $$ spinning rod. Might as well stick with the inexpensive fly brands.
Maybe learn to cast before doing a rod review 😅
I enjoyed this video - thank you - and would love to see more in the same vein. I have a Hardy Ultralight SR 8ft 8in 4wt (the range that replaced the Zephrus) and experienced exactly the same issue you describe of running out of steam as distance increases. That is emphasised by a somewhat overweight line such as my SA MPX which is built a half size heavy. My SR rod does much better at distances over say 40 - 45 feet with a true 4wt line and even better with a DT 4wt silk line. I'm looking for a 10ft 4wt to use for nymphing and will take a look at Maxcatch - they seem to offer excellent value for the money.

Really cool video! I'm kinda new to fly fishing so this was really helpful
Great video
Buy for the type of fly fishing conditions your going to fish in. 99% of my casts are under 30 feet. So I use a 7 foot rod I bought in 1980. That's real value.
I picked up a Douglas Sky G 6 wt last year, and it is hands down the best fly rod Ive ever fished with, and by a significant margin. I liked it so much i got rid of my Helios 3 5 wt and replaced it with a Sky 5 wt. The finish isnt quite as nice as my Loomis or Orvis rods, but they are so incredibly light casting and crazy accurate. There's just nothing I'd rather cast all day. They are effortless. The 6 wt is so stupid accurate at 50 ft and makes easy double hauls out past 60. It casts pretty easily out to the backing. I now own Sky G 5, 6, and 8 wt rods. I've fished with the old Sky, and it was great, but the Sky G is a trout murder machine.
I enjoyed your work here, very much. TY!!
How you guys hunting nh opening day were there is cut corn I wish they cut corn that early we’re we are!
Very good quality for the cost. Great shipping tube that can be used for transporting the rod for trips. Highly recommend!
Love this.
Really neat to be able to fish with family and have them there on personal best days.
Have you heard of a rod manufacturer called guideline a company from norway I purchased a 9 foot 6 wf 7 cost 170 pounds great for rainbows or sea trout
GREAT Video. Congrats on a Great Day.
Glad to see this just got a maxcatch for Father's day
