Thank you so much for the time and energy spent on creating these wonderful films. I admit, they make me emotional with such a strong desire for, as you called it, "wilderness immersion". I was wondering if you'd consider throwing together some of the footage you might have of the full fishing process (raw), from cast to net and everything in-between. Thanks again, and I pray you all would stay healthy and be blessed to go everywhere you desire.
Thanks so much! Unfortunately we don't have a lot of footage like that. Its not really the way we shoot. But maybe in the future we'll try and incorporate some of that!
You NEED to upload this to fly fishing film tour it’s AWSOME it’s like a big screening for every trout fisher in Wisconsin and there are vids from everywhere in the north and South America they choose the best 10 vids and upload them all the money made from the event goes to fish conservation and stopping the gravel pits in Alaska!!!!
When I was a young lad, this was my fantasy. Now I'm an old man and it's just a dream I once had. You have given me the great pleasure of seeing that it's real. A huge thank you from an old Brook Trout fisherman in Northern Minnesota. 🌲❤🌲
I am 70 years old. When I was in my early 60s I did a two + week trip on the DePas River, a tributary of the George, out of Schefferville. Your film beautifully captured not only the magnificent scenery and raw ruggedness of the land, but also the feeling of awe that I experienced, and you experienced, in such beautiful country. I will go back to that part of the world someday just to experience that awe. My thanks to you.
I was looking to trash and hate comment fly fishing because I couldn't understand why my boyfriend loves it so much. I ended up crying seeing this film. Thank you for making this beautiful, adventurous film. I probably still can't do fly fishing, I am not just into it and scared of many adventurous things but at least now I understand the feeling of being addicted to it, the nature and the experiences.
When you see something so stupidly beautiful, like a starry night or the love of your life, it almost hurts. That's what your films do to me. You guys have a rare gift and I hope you continue to use it for the rest of your lives. No crew or amount of money could've executed this better. You're already masters and soon to be film Jedis. Absolutely exceptional, exceptional, *exceptional.* P.S. That blue halo at 32:32 was brilliantly superimposed.
It's interesting to read your comment...as I watched the video, the shear remarkableness (is that word?) just kind of came over me and I found a welling up of emotion I wasn't expecting.
I had the indescribable gift of several trips to The Big Land in the 1970's, including a year and a half of teaching a summer of commercial char fishing with Inuit friends in northern Labrador, and a month long kayak expedition there as well. Your beautiful film brings it all back to me in a way that is profound, but beyond expression! Thank you so very much! You are gifted film makers. More, please!
From a Newfoundlander, truly, thank you. Thank you for displaying it so well while being extremely respectful of the land, and hitting the nail on the head in the last segment on land use and abuse. Great film - I’ll be sure to share it.
I spent a week in Newfoundland last year on my way home from Afghanistan. It is truly a beautiful place. I loved the people - most of them were very friendly - and the countryside is breathtaking. One of my buddies got screeched in and now he prides himself on being an honorary Newfoundlander haha
The brookies in northern central Pa. are a true testament of adversity! I have been fortunate to fish them all of my life....all most fourty years later still having a blast! great flick! thanks for caring ! time changes everything
I grew up in Saskatchewan, hunting and fishing. Worked way up north at fly-in camps. Been in Asia last 20 years so my life is a lot different, but my experiences in the bush and wilderness will always be with me.
Growing up within spitting distance of the Canadian border on an enormous farm my parents worked their asses off to keep for us... This film brings a certain amount of joy, knowing that something like this place existed in my childhood and I got to enjoy it, fishing rod in hand from age 6. Well done, beautiful imagery and soul-stirring music. 👍
I can't believe content this good is sitting here, for free, just waiting to be discovered by the mass of outdoor enthusiasts. Cinematography, post production, editing, storyline and narration all working together to make this more than the sum of it's parts. (And the soundtrack is stand alone fantastic!) Clearly the creative mind behind this has a gift. I hope that Tight Loops becomes the Warren Miller of my generation.
Beautiful. In the wilderness and on the lakes and waters I feel the presence of God. It is good for your soul. Thank you for making this video. Tight lines!
This is just absolutely the best film about flyfishing and wilderness exploration for 'just plain Joe's'....No yuppies with guides tying on their flies for them. No hardcore 'extremist' having to show off their latest stupid conquest. It was just an absolutely great film in so many ways. The cinematography was gorgeous and beautifully shot. The storyline and voiceovers were just enough to be informative but not annoying background mumbling. Really loved how you showed all the preparation which went into creating such a trip. It's the kind of film which is truly inspiring for 'ordinary' people who want to create an adventure of their own. Thanks again for showing this on UA-cam and you can be sure I will be buying a Vimeo version of this film.
i’ve watched this countless times but i’d like to come back and say i’m confident this video has changed my life for the better, thank you aimee and chase
I work in film industry as a painter and I know what it takes to put out quality work. I am amazed at what you do with such a small crew. Can’t wait for the next one. Tight lines
X, Y, Millenials, etc. emerging from their parent's basement clad in typical soiled skivvies is truly an anomaly. Embarking upon an epic adventure trumping even the most courageous and adventurous is nothing less than epic. You Guys Rock! 26:04 in and I'm beginning to reestablish hope for the destiny of mankind.
For me as an avid sportsman/outdoorsman/fly fisher you captured the 2 best elements of flyfishing. 1) The take, the magical moment when the fish shows it's self and eats the fly. 2) The water, every stream, river, lake has its own personality and beauty. Keep up the good work!
I have grown up with a brother who loves fishing and would drag me out fishing as his good luck charm. That love never grew on me, but I do have a love for whitewater and outdoor adventure. I started watching more for my brother, but quickly fell in love with this film - 5 stars for narrative, cinematography and music, not to mention location of course. What an incredible film - would be a worthy contender at the Banff Film festival if you haven’t already entered.
I LOVE THIS. Such emotions, I felt the sadness of departing such an awesome adventure. The footage, pacing, music choice and knowledge spoken was truly a masterpiece. Thank you for taking us along your journey!
So great how you released them with such love and the ones you had to eat you thanked for feeding you, this is the love and respect for nature that we need to preserve what's left
Very fine storytelling. Fantastic camera work. Most wont realize the challenges of filming in an environment such as this; Battery management, keeping cameras dry, getting shots in the rapids, constantly taking cameras in and out of pelican cases, the bugs. my god. Great fish too! some of those were true studs. fun watch. tight lines!
I came here to learn about fly fishing for a trip to Arizona. I left here with a newfound favorite channel. The work you and your wife put in does not go unnoticed. I pray that the Lord blesses you both.
I can’t believe how much this short film exceeded my expectations, what a joy to watch , and what amazing footage. Seriously thank you for sharing this
Those of us addicted to square tails will appreciate the beauty of this film. Growing up in Ontario and fishing Algonquin Park, ive always dreamt about one day making it up to Labrador. I cant complain though, living in Alberta and getting to fish the Bow as well as all the other world class trout waters around here I do feel fortunate. You guys should come out this way, you wouldn't regret it. Good job, keep it up! Cheers.
Thanks for the video , my grandfather ran a Hudson Bay trading post in Labrador and told us stories of the fish . Got his split cane fly rod hanging on the wall
This is beautiful. My Dad did a lot of Brook Trout, Salmon and Arctic Char fishing in Labrador and I love canoeing in the Canadian wilderness. I’ve experienced that great fishing outside of Kuujjuaq where the smallest fish are 2 lbs, though they don’t get to the 7-8 lbs you see up there. Guys, this was wonderful. It brought tears to my eyes. I wish I was with you. BTW: I also began my lifelong affair with paddling on the Allagash, but in the 60’s as a kid. Thank you. Awesome job!!!!!
I was compelled to watch this again today. This film was so incredibly well done. The story line is excellent, the filming technique is second to none and the editing is incredible. Just a masterpiece of a film!
I know there is plenty to talk about with how beautiful and interesting this is, I feel like most people have covered it all. No one however has commented on how there is a few frames of Dylan tying flys on a moving train, how has no one else commented on this superhuman feat of composure. just wow
This is a masterpiece of a film. I hope one day we can revive the parts of the continent we already destroyed and bring back the beauty of nature. I wish we could find a perfect combination of civilization and wildlife.
Wonderful film by great humans. Let’s hope the land can stay untouched by human intervention. Being an avid fly fisherman from Sweden I can only imagine the joy of spending time at that wonderful place. Thanks for sharing this beautiful film.
Thank you guys for sharing this wonderful journey . What an experience only a few will ever get to share . Beautifully filmed and narrated . Great getting to know you guys ❤️❤️🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👌👌🙏🙏. Thank you
Literally the most hooking film I've ever watched. This is amazing, and it's sad that only 300,000 people have watched it. This video perfectly represents so many of us who want to take a life-changing trip like you all. Great Work!!
The people who gave this video thumbs down must be living on another planet I come from Glasgow,Scotland and have fly fished most of my life and I am 70 and have fished in Alaska , Canada in BC and a few places in Europe and in Northern Scotland where we still have a bit of wilderness and I have loved every minute of it so if you can get out to these wild places it’s a real bonus so you guys keep doing what you’re doing so we can still enjoy these wild places with great fishing. Peace and love from us Jocks over here in Scotland 🏴👍✊🎣🍺🙏
A polished and beautiful movie in all manners of filmmaking. No redundancy and no describing in great detail what is happening in the film. The dialog and images complimented each other to tell the powerful story. Especially good were the transitions. One of the best was the conclusion. About 20 minutes before it was said, I was already thinking “where next”.op A very complete illustration of the passion for fishing and seeking the wilderness, and what is necessary to do accomplish both. Combining the two yields supreme satisfaction. My wife and I have done 40 years of what we call “chasing the wilderness” for the epic fishing and what the wilderness offers by its inherent existence. So I am very experienced and wise about this topic. Please consider - There is no way to preserve the wilderness. Preservation means the non-use of the resources. Most people do not care. and will not support something which seems only academic or theoretical. However conservation of the wilderness works very well. Conservation means the wise use of the resources. When people can somehow experience that the wilderness is real, precious, unique, fragile, and possibly fleeting, most people will support conserving the wilderness with money and their votes. So show the wilderness to a small representational group of “average and interested” people and film their experience. Add in images and statements of general interest “ecosystem” so it is not just about fishing. When that film is shown it will powerfully motivate viewers and their friends to support the wilderness. Thank you for having the courage to thank the Lord and have a fish dinner. Thanking the Lord for his gift of the fish to us in Genesis is absolutely necessary. The meal is reality. Do you need a consultant?
YT bots gave me a gift! Who knew I needed to experience this exquisite, eye opening, soul healing expanse of pristine nature. Now, I see why people fish and how amazing that adventure of discovery can be. A beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing this quest! 💚🌎🏞️🍀
.Brook Trout, such beautiful fish. Had dreams of Labrador once back when I was a Kennebec and Dead River whitewater guide in Maine. Allagash and St John Rivers will have to do as age has caught up with me at 63. But, well done film my watery friends, very well done.. Reading the ill fated Hubbard expedition was my introduction to Labrador decades ago.
I am humbled and moved by this great cinematic and natural capture achievement. I still can not believe that you did it! This flick is so rich with so much of what I hold dear that I must send all of my love your way. Truly a profound step that has stirred in me a reflection of self that can no longer look away from what true treasure in this world is. Thank you for the enormous and dedicated collective effort to film and edit this gem. Your contribution leaves the financial constraints of modern life so far behind. Only nature. Perfection.
One of the best exploration films I've ever seen. Everything you guys make is top notch, but this was truly flawless. Thank you for showing us this truly wild and beautiful place that so few have the fortune of seeing in person. Maybe one day I'll have the privilege of exploring an uncharted river up there.
What an epic movie! It touches the heart of an true fly-fisherman. Exploring and leaving no footprints in the wild. The nature decide when and why. The scenery and the details of the journey is fantastic. Regards from Sweden
I can see how this film has won so many awards. It is a very well produced and directed piece of art. The cinematography is impeccable. Well done. I will recommend it to all my fly fishing friends, and any who just love a well made film.
Check out our video “Things Don’t Always Go As Planned”! It was a Northern Ontario trip! Heart achingly beautiful country up there, can’t wait to go back!
Ha! Well, hopefully the power grid stays up in perpetuity, and UA-cam never dissolves, and then it’ll always be here for you ;) Thanks for the kind words and continued support
I’m from Newfoundland and spent a couple summers in Labrador. I did a lot of fishing and one day caught a 6.9 lbs brook trout. About 24” long. It was a beautiful fish.
I grew up in James Bay and I have many engraved images of tundra’s wilderness in my head even if we left when I want under 10 y/o. Your amazing short film brings back memories of me and my dad fishing trouts and I’m looking forward to share this with my 14 y/o boy. Merci!
I found this video amazing. I love the wilderness and all it has to offer us. I especially love Brookies. Most here is Colorado are rather small, but once in a while you can find a bigger one. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
PLEASE KEEP GOING! the production value of this channel is so high that is bound to be scooped up by algorithms. organic / word of mouth growth will also continue as people view this high quality content. People love pretty nature. you are going to get where you want to be, please continue on this path!!!!!
Wonderful, wonderful video. Water is life, and its nourishment our sustenance. I have relations in Northern Quebec and Northern Ontario. Having angled, hunted and explored a small fragment of the vastness of the north, your video has given me a renewed sense of appreciation for our home. Unfortunately it's resources are sought after now more than ever, and development and human interruption of the ecosystem of the Moose River basin will probably never return to what it once was. I hope and pray Northern Labrador stays untouched and pristine.
I'm from Maine and I too have a love for the wild Brook trout great video that place is on my bucket list my uncle went there and he caught massive humpback s Christmas and thanks for the video
2 weeks !! all that planning and hard work, I couldnt have left so soon.. once in a life time experiance thanks for shareing the beauty that is being lost so fast , lets hope its still there in 100 years likely not
Great that you explain the destruction of trout. I am 60 and I can’t believe how the western rivers have been degraded by pollution.I fear for the future.
Wow, wonderful recollection at the end there. Beautiful, free, and spirited take on our relationship with the environment. I pray the beauty of wilderness will become increasingly bountiful, diverse, and vibrant as we evolve our take on its use.
What a wonderful job you did on this film. Felt like I was a part of the journey. I'm from Newfoundland and Labrador but have never gotten to the Big Land in any meaningful way. Thank you so very much.
What a wonderful video. What an awesome couple you two make! The narration definitely painted a vivid picture of your trip in all natures brilliant colors. Tight loops, indeed.
Thanks so much! I feel like our films are honestly pretty heavy with narration, but I just have so much cool info I want to share with people about these places! I can’t help myself
This was incredible, one of the best things I've seen. I'd love nothing more than to hear you guys talk about the adventure in detail. The scenery was beautiful, and spoke volumes, but I'd love to hear a commentary on this. You're always welcome to come on my podcast and talk about your adventures, and always welcome to join me on Trail Creek for some Steelhead and Rainbows!
I'm 6 min in and, as a Smallmouth guy, this makes me all the more exited about my trip to Algonquin later this year. Early mornings walking the river for savage Bass is truly when I'm most relaxed
Lockdown restrictions in the UK just faded away watching your film. We don't need to take from our wilderness when it gives us so much by being what it is, wilderness.
The narration is amazing. The end when he speaks of the unthought of spiritual and cultural ties between humans and the land. The loss of words for the type of growth that occurs when immersed in nature. Fucking amazing.
Hola just wanted to say what a beautiful film, the direction, cinematography amazing narration and story...I wish I was there, keep making films like this.🎉🎉🎉❤
BRAVO!!!! BRAVO!!!! Thank you so much for the share! What a beautiful film about some beautiful people and fish and the creation of the very Creator Himself! Tight loops and lines y’all! Blessings!

I bought one right after it came out? Watched it a lot. Watching this one also to help support guys. Where next?

Hate commenting your bf hobby and passion? Super toxic and immature. I hope you have grown as a person.
Films like these help me to escape...
Thank you
When you see something so stupidly beautiful, like a starry night or the love of your life, it almost hurts. That's what your films do to me. You guys have a rare gift and I hope you continue to use it for the rest of your lives. No crew or amount of money could've executed this better. You're already masters and soon to be film Jedis. Absolutely exceptional, exceptional, *exceptional.*
P.S. That blue halo at 32:32 was brilliantly superimposed.
It's interesting to read your comment...as I watched the video, the shear remarkableness (is that word?) just kind of came over me and I found a welling up of emotion I wasn't expecting.
Seriously!!!!! These people are amazing, the chills I got during that were unreal
I'm now 60 years young today and I LOVE fly fishing and the GREAT OUTDOORS! What an EPIC trip you had!! Keep Exploring! LOVE you ALL!
I had the indescribable gift of several trips to The Big Land in the 1970's, including a year and a half of teaching a summer of commercial char fishing with Inuit friends in northern Labrador, and a month long kayak expedition there as well.

The amazing respect shown to their surroundings by this team is remarkable. A beautiful and informative video!

I’m so glad to have grown up in Maine and caught Maine native brookies. Nothing fights harder than a true native.
Jaaaaaa!!! Where to next??? Wuuujjuuuu!! Love this documentary!! Thank you so much for have the passion to do this!! Much love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷!!
Bdw is the 3 time I watched!!

I got that same miller feeling for sure from this. Just breath taking!
I agree!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Beautiful!✌💞🇨🇦
From a Labradorian (Labrador West), I’m happy you appreciate the big land as much as we do
Two thumbs way up! Thanks for making this, I can tell you guys poured your hearts into it.
Thanks for recommending, Nick. This is fabulous!
Love your videos Nick! - yours have a similar feel to this. Would love to see a longer movie type one someday!
Beautiful. In the wilderness and on the lakes and waters I feel the presence of God. It is good for your soul. Thank you for making this video. Tight lines!
Beautifully written and photographed. Thank you.
This is just absolutely the best film about flyfishing and wilderness exploration for 'just plain Joe's'....No yuppies with guides tying on their flies for them.

Amazing film journey. Thanks for sharing your incredible adventures. Brook trout the size of steelhead!!!
One of, if not, the best trout documentaries ever.
Aw, thanks Michael! That's very kind of you.
I work in film industry as a painter and I know what it takes to put out quality work. I am amazed at what you do with such a small crew. Can’t wait for the next one. Tight lines
I'm so greatful you got to live such an unfathomable experience! Thanks for letting up all be a part of it by sharing this masterpiece.
X, Y, Millenials, etc. emerging from their parent's basement clad in typical soiled skivvies is truly an anomaly. Embarking upon an epic adventure trumping even the most courageous and adventurous is nothing less than epic. You Guys Rock! 26:04 in and I'm beginning to reestablish hope for the destiny of mankind.
ok boomer
Great video you two! Keep up the good work.
For me as an avid sportsman/outdoorsman/fly fisher you captured the 2 best elements of flyfishing. 1) The take, the magical moment when the fish shows it's self and eats the fly. 2) The water, every stream, river, lake has its own personality and beauty. Keep up the good work!

What an incredible film - would be a worthy contender at the Banff Film festival if you haven’t already entered.
So glad you found the large trout at the end and the Northern Lights was the cherry on top.
I LOVE THIS. Such emotions, I felt the sadness of departing such an awesome adventure. The footage, pacing, music choice and knowledge spoken was truly a masterpiece. Thank you for taking us along your journey!
So great how you released them with such love and the ones you had to eat you thanked for feeding you, this is the love and respect for nature that we need to preserve what's left
Great film. Makes me want to get out there and adventure. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful scenery, fishing, and music!
Very fine storytelling. Fantastic camera work.

Great film. Being from Newfoundland and having worked in the Torngat Mountains in Labrador, you represented the big land very well. Unreal place.
Thanks for the video , my grandfather ran a Hudson Bay trading post in Labrador and told us stories of the fish . Got his split cane fly rod hanging on the wall
Hard to believe there are still places like this.
I was glued to the screen from start to finish. Really well done.

Upon seeing this I instantly shared with those friends that tie. What a hoss.
This is a masterpiece of a film. I hope one day we can revive the parts of the continent we already destroyed and bring back the beauty of nature. I wish we could find a perfect combination of civilization and wildlife.
Wonderful film by great humans. Let’s hope the land can stay untouched by human intervention. Being an avid fly fisherman from Sweden I can only imagine the joy of spending time at that wonderful place.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful film.
Thank you so much for visiting my province and capturing the beautiful Labrador country. This video was absolutely amazing.👏👏
Wait, what just happened? Can't believed I got lost for a while in this wonderful film. Awesome.
Thank you guys for sharing this wonderful journey . What an experience only a few will ever get to share .
Beautifully filmed and narrated .
Great getting to know you guys ❤️❤️🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👌👌🙏🙏. Thank you
I cant get my head around how there are 20 dislikes... This is a masterpiece.
Haters always have to be...
I think a ton of dislikes come from bots missing their true targets.
I can't wrap my head around why I can't give this more likes...As you put it, "This is a masterpiece."
People are probably just jealous
Miss leading title.
I didn't come for guess facts.
Read the title of my channel & realize this guy is a desk job dude.
Literally the most hooking film I've ever watched. This is amazing, and it's sad that only 300,000 people have watched it. This video perfectly represents so many of us who want to take a life-changing trip like you all. Great Work!!
Wow, what an incredible adventure and an amazing place filled with the Brookies of my dreams.
I cannot believe how you've put together such a beautifuly undiscribable documentary of an equaly indescribable land.
A true masterpiece; I have loved all you other films but this is a real triumph of flyfishing filmmaking.
Beautiful looking fish and countryside - inspiring video. Thanks and well done.
The people who gave this video thumbs down must be living on another planet I come from Glasgow,Scotland and have fly fished most of my life and I am 70 and have fished in Alaska , Canada in BC and a few places in Europe and in Northern Scotland where we still have a bit of wilderness and I have loved every minute of it so if you can get out to these wild places it’s a real bonus so you guys keep doing what you’re doing so we can still enjoy these wild places with great fishing.

Especially good were the transitions. One of the best was the conclusion. About 20 minutes before it was said, I was already thinking “where next”.op
A very complete illustration of the passion for fishing and seeking the wilderness, and what is necessary to do accomplish both. Combining the two yields supreme satisfaction.
My wife and I have done 40 years of what we call “chasing the wilderness” for the epic fishing and what the wilderness offers by its inherent existence. So I am very experienced and wise about this topic. Please consider - There is no way to preserve the wilderness. Preservation means the non-use of the resources. Most people do not care. and will not support something which seems only academic or theoretical. However conservation of the wilderness works very well. Conservation means the wise use of the resources. When people can somehow experience that the wilderness is real, precious, unique, fragile, and possibly fleeting, most people will support conserving the wilderness with money and their votes. So show the wilderness to a small representational group of “average and interested” people and film their experience. Add in images and statements of general interest “ecosystem” so it is not just about fishing. When that film is shown it will powerfully motivate viewers and their friends to support the wilderness.
Thank you for having the courage to thank the Lord and have a fish dinner. Thanking the Lord for his gift of the fish to us in Genesis is absolutely necessary. The meal is reality.
Do you need a consultant?
YT bots gave me a gift! Who knew I needed to experience this exquisite, eye opening, soul healing expanse of pristine nature. Now, I see why people fish and how amazing that adventure of discovery can be.
A beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing this quest!
💚🌎🏞️🍀
Watching this again now during pandemic is even more moving than the first time. I want to go to Labrador so bad it's making me upset! Well done.
.Brook Trout, such beautiful fish. Had dreams of Labrador once back when I was a Kennebec and Dead River whitewater guide in Maine.
Allagash and St John Rivers will have to do as age has caught up with me at 63. But, well done film my watery friends, very well done..
Reading the ill fated Hubbard expedition was my introduction to Labrador decades ago.
I am humbled and moved by this great cinematic and natural capture achievement. I still can not believe that you did it! This flick is so rich with so much of what I hold dear that I must send all of my love your way. Truly a profound step that has stirred in me a reflection of self that can no longer look away from what true treasure in this world is. Thank you for the enormous and dedicated collective effort to film and edit this gem. Your contribution leaves the financial constraints of modern life so far behind. Only nature. Perfection.
Great team. Great story. Thanks for bringing us along!
Wow! What a beautiful film! It's amazing! I can really tell how much have been put into it.
Maybe one day I can complete this same journey...
One of the best exploration films I've ever seen. Everything you guys make is top notch, but this was truly flawless. Thank you for showing us this truly wild and beautiful place that so few have the fortune of seeing in person. Maybe one day I'll have the privilege of exploring an uncharted river up there.
What an epic movie! It touches the heart of an true fly-fisherman. Exploring and leaving no footprints in the wild. The nature decide when and why. The scenery and the details of the journey is fantastic. Regards from Sweden
I can see how this film has won so many awards. It is a very well produced and directed piece of art. The cinematography is impeccable. Well done. I will recommend it to all my fly fishing friends, and any who just love a well made film.
This right here is why we got into UA-cam. To create art like this. Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
I love that it was about the journey and the land, not the people. Amazing job, well done. God speed
I have just watched it completely random. I love it. From 1 to 5 - story 5, music 5, picture 5. Great trip!
One of my favorite films! I've lost track of how many times I've watched this!
Woven now in the tapestry of my mind, no doubt etched deep upon your souls. Thank you from the heart. Travel well, till next time.
So makes me miss northern Ontario/Canada, from southern Ontario. Really makes me think of planning to the north. Thank-you
Check out our video “Things Don’t Always Go As Planned”! It was a Northern Ontario trip! Heart achingly beautiful country up there, can’t wait to go back!
I wonder how many times I'm going to come back to re-watch this.
Ha! Well, hopefully the power grid stays up in perpetuity, and UA-cam never dissolves, and then it’ll always be here for you ;)
Thanks for the kind words and continued support
@@TightLoops Back again! Lmao.. Too true. God forbid my problems should ever outgrow where/when I can get my next Tight Loops fix.
Stunning. The production, the setting, the story. the people, the music...perfect.
I’m from Newfoundland and spent a couple summers in Labrador. I did a lot of fishing and one day caught a 6.9 lbs brook trout. About 24” long. It was a beautiful fish.
I grew up in James Bay and I have many engraved images of tundra’s wilderness in my head even if we left when I want under 10 y/o. Your amazing short film brings back memories of me and my dad fishing trouts and I’m looking forward to share this with my 14 y/o boy. Merci!
I found this video amazing. I love the wilderness and all it has to offer us. I especially love Brookies. Most here is Colorado are rather small, but once in a while you can find a bigger one. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
PLEASE KEEP GOING! the production value of this channel is so high that is bound to be scooped up by algorithms. organic / word of mouth growth will also continue as people view this high quality content. People love pretty nature. you are going to get where you want to be, please continue on this path!!!!!
Wonderful, wonderful video. Water is life, and its nourishment our sustenance. I have relations in Northern Quebec and Northern Ontario. Having angled, hunted and explored a small fragment of the vastness of the north, your video has given me a renewed sense of appreciation for our home. Unfortunately it's resources are sought after now more than ever, and development and human interruption of the ecosystem of the Moose River basin will probably never return to what it once was. I hope and pray Northern Labrador stays untouched and pristine.
I'm from Maine and I too have a love for the wild Brook trout great video that place is on my bucket list my uncle went there and he caught massive humpback s Christmas and thanks for the video
2 weeks !! all that planning and hard work, I couldnt have left so soon.. once in a life time experiance thanks for shareing the beauty that is being lost so fast , lets hope its still there in 100 years likely not
Great that you explain the destruction of trout. I am 60 and I can’t believe how the western rivers have been degraded by pollution.I fear for the future.
Wow, wonderful recollection at the end there. Beautiful, free, and spirited take on our relationship with the environment. I pray the beauty of wilderness will become increasingly bountiful, diverse, and vibrant as we evolve our take on its use.
So absolutely fantastic. Beautiful. Thank you. The size of those monsters is unbelievable.
What a wonderful job you did on this film. Felt like I was a part of the journey. I'm from Newfoundland and Labrador but have never gotten to the Big Land in any meaningful way. Thank you so very much.
What a wonderful video. What an awesome couple you two make! The narration definitely painted a vivid picture of your trip in all natures brilliant colors. Tight loops, indeed.
My issue is that I can only like your films once. You fill the screen with your artistry that most try to fill with dialogue. Well done.
Thanks so much! I feel like our films are honestly pretty heavy with narration, but I just have so much cool info I want to share with people about these places! I can’t help myself
Absolutely stunning film on so many levels. Inspiring and beautiful.
Literally so stoked! Tight loops makes the best fly fishing films! Can’t wait to do some trout fishing on my fly rod around Michigan!
Thanks Trey! We can't wait to fish Michigan either!
@@TightLoops Michigan is nothing even CLOSE TO Labrador but we do have some beautiful native brookies!!!!
This was incredible, one of the best things I've seen. I'd love nothing more than to hear you guys talk about the adventure in detail. The scenery was beautiful, and spoke volumes, but I'd love to hear a commentary on this. You're always welcome to come on my podcast and talk about your adventures, and always welcome to join me on Trail Creek for some Steelhead and Rainbows!
I'm 6 min in and, as a Smallmouth guy, this makes me all the more exited about my trip to Algonquin later this year. Early mornings walking the river for savage Bass is truly when I'm most relaxed
Most relaxing video I've ever seen. F for Chase and company.
Stunning. Just amazed 🌲🎣
Trips like this become addictive. Memories of earlier trips and planning new ones just get better and better. Thanks for the excellent video.
Fabulous film, congratulations to all involved
A 6lb native brookie inhaling a mouse pattern is something you wont soon forget....that is just incredible.
Lockdown restrictions in the UK just faded away watching your film. We don't need to take from our wilderness when it gives us so much by being what it is, wilderness.
The narration is amazing. The end when he speaks of the unthought of spiritual and cultural ties between humans and the land. The loss of words for the type of growth that occurs when immersed in nature. Fucking amazing.
Hola just wanted to say what a beautiful film, the direction, cinematography amazing narration and story...I wish I was there, keep making films like this.🎉🎉🎉❤
BRAVO!!!! BRAVO!!!! Thank you so much for the share! What a beautiful film about some beautiful people and fish and the creation of the very Creator Himself! Tight loops and lines y’all! Blessings!
Thank you very much, Trey!
