Thanks! The 8fans waders basically are just a semi barrier from wet and cold. They have a bunch of holes and I've torn a hole in the bootfoot neoprene. I've patched it all up with aquaseal but it's all leaky. Which is fine with me tbh! I'm pretty cheap and pretty tough on gear, I'm quite sure I'd put holes in any pair of waders. Also these came in XXL which was very important for me!! 😊

@@RosinFlyFishing so awesome!! thanks for your reply my man (: really appreciate it

I'm sorry, it's a troll post. Totally user error 😂

Nope!

NO!! Never any fish from the Bow!!

Yep, I'm part of the problem tbh

That's awesome dude I hope you get there and then blow past!! As a small update I didn't end up making as much as I expected because after Christmas the ads go way down, plus I couldn't keep up the weekly videos/good videos! But I'm still grinding haha. Tight lines 😎

Haha you didn't pay close attention, I cut the hook off the big dry so it's just an indicator that lets me know if they might also take a dry 🤙

@@RosinFlyFishing Fair enough, but you might have a hard time convincing a CO you're in the right. "It's unlawful to angle with a fishing line to which more than one artificial fly is attached (i.e., to use “dropper flies”)." It doesn't say anything about whether the hook has been clipped. Personally I think the law is kind of silly, but those are the rules. On my local river we can't even use indicators (floats) in the fly fishing section to dangle a nymph, but outside of it you can float fish all you want.

@@automaticmike fortunately I'd have video showing my intentions if an officer ever came asking. It's an interesting question whether removal of the hook from what would become an assortment of a short metal shank with foam and color materials is fundamentally different from classical bobber. I think this would be pretty subjective, so that video footage might be the only saviour! I've never fished the fly only sections of VI systems but I've read those regs and they are pretty restrictive but it sounds like a fun challenge 😂

It's on my fish list, thanks for the reminder! Maybe I'll plan a day trip with my family :)

Sorry mate, giveaway is finished!!

Unfortunately actually its lower than I predicted for me personally, by about 40%. Partly bad/unpopular videos and also after Christmas ads die off for a while. Ah well, such is life! Good luck with the grind mate!!

Retention (keeping fish) is NOT allowed from the Bow River and many other flowing rivers and streams in Alberta. Please check your regulations! If you want to catch to eat the fish you have to find specific places where to go. I don't know any of these, sorry. Easiest to buy the fish you like from the store tbh

@@RosinFlyFishing Glenmore reservior has limitations on fish that is allowed to be kept, but it's still attached to the bow river. I couldn't find anything that says where calgarians are allowed to catch and eat fish. Do you know if isolated ponds such as Eagle lake and Mclean pond would be safe to consume? I'm totally new to fishing, so there's tons of information I don't know.

Yup of course! Just don't yank on hooksets, you will yeet the fish 😂

I use a magnet system and carabiners to clip my net to my waist belt, or backpack. Others just lose their nets on the river quite often lol. Not me! As for spot finding, it can be tough. It's just a google maps satellite mode search game, followed by maybe some internet hints of systems, followed by checking if a stream is considered a 'tributary' of a larger system, and then checking regulations to see if that system includes tributaries in it's regulations, then checking regulations to see if it's open and if certain species are restricted, and then beyond that sometimes there are first nation territory lands that are not legal unless you have permission, and then there are provincial parks, and national parks with their own regulations. It's a lot of effort sometimes, that's just the reality! But it's good to start with big systems on google maps and then follow them upstream to smaller blue lines, find the names, look at them on satellite mode looking for accessible spots/roads, deep runs or riffles, etc

Haha well, no. Plus, this dock is fully destroyed and not usable anymore after a king tide wrecked it

Semi private, but I'm not at liberty to disclose sorry!

For sure!

Thanks for letting me know! Usually if it's a 'strict' no fly zone like due to air traffic, the DJI app will fully override your ability to go above 10 meters. So I presume this is more of a local regulation/prohibition?

I start 4 feet under an indicator. Move down a foot every 15 min if no action. I've gone as deep as 16 feet and I've heard of them deeper, but hook sets get tough! If they are taking midges on surface, you can go 1-3 foot down and test a chironomid pattern. Usually they dial in on a specific color when that's happening and they will hammer that, and ignore everything else!

What does that mean haha

Sorry if I burned your nearest hole !

@@RosinFlyFishing I would catch tons or used to

spot burner! getem! (jk obviously)

This was last summer actually!! But Calgary trips are always jam packed it's tough to even hit the water

Thanks!

Next time you head for a drive to the lake/river, just bring your fishing gear with you. Don't feel pressured to go fishing. If you just feel like going for a hike or even sit in your vehicle, that's ok.

Sorry to hear that mate. Fishing is a good mental health release for me. But sometimes just waking up is hard enough. I hope you have some supports to lean on and chat with. Maybe they will even go fishing with you and chat while you're out. Brain chemistry is a son of a b****. The crisis phone lines in Calgary can be a good place to chat and find supports, in case you ever need it: 403-266-4357

This is a great idea too, thanks for speaking up :)

Idk, time is flying! Go do something nostalgic this weekend! :)

Thanks!

Thanks Joe!

There is some good water and even some that isn't often targeted within the city! Very fortunate to have this beautiful river running through :)

Haha mine too!

That's a stretch haha

Dude, I haven’t caught a fish on the bow in two years. You landing a 6 inch whitefish would make you a legend in my books, just saying.

Thanks!

Love the Bow!

@@RosinFlyFishing have you done any searun this year??

Haha if you start in Alberta, coming here feels so limiting ;). Some waters are barbless yes!

@@RosinFlyFishing ah so not the rivers like here in bc. I will take the limiting sportsmanship of a single barbless fly anyday. There are reasons the bow river is in the state it is now and these kind of regulations sure don't help.

He was pretty!

Agree!

Thanks!

Haha well according to my notes I actually used it first...

Yes, yes they did! And yes I have seen a few people do double hand fly fishing. They remind me of the Squamish crowd, chill and just out for fun :)

Thanks Bob!

Hope so! Would love to throw the streamer some more

@@RosinFlyFishing for sure 👍 maybe a little more hidden of a spot too.

@@rhetzkyflyfishing Yeah the further south the better

Ah, sorry about that. UA-cam sticks a good amount of ad slots into videos these days but often doesn't 'use' them all, but if the timing is right for companies paying, they will use every single one! Sorry mate! A little gas money for me helps though! :)

Yup!!

Ah thanks! I'll try to update that for future videos! (It's painful manual work to fix old descriptions 😂)

Haha nice!!

Haha sorry!!

More generous of @thflyfishing! :)

Indeed!
