Just wondering why Mark did not use a net. If the goal is catch and release a healthy fish, why man handle them into the boat. New Flyfisher is an iconic show that sets the bar for those of us learning to fly fish. Just seems like bad form.
Hi Brian, Thanks for your message. I chose not to use a net because the weather was freezing. I felt that handling the fish by hand was the fastest way to get them unbuttoned and returned back to the water. As you can see, Quick release.
@@newflyfisherconfused also. Wouldn’t getting your hands and sleeves wet grabbing the fish under the water be a lot colder than netting and lifting it to the surface to handle? Maybe I’m not seeing the logic. No biggie tho.
Good question. We usually don't use gloves to handle trout and don't recommend them. However, this show was created a few years ago when using tailing gloves was still endorsed. Thanks for feedback
@@petermartyniuk6781 This video is bobber fishing with a spey rod out of a boat for fish that are taking zero runs, zero jumps, getting reeled straight into the boat. You guys are gonna fish for what is around you, I get it - But this is nothing like steelhead fishing on the west coast. Not the same fish at all.
good to see you in good health Bill, your videos have calmed my soul
I must visit the Niagara river now to fish. Never visited anyway so now I have an excuse! Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for sharing!
The guide caught all the fish
Absolutely awesome video! Plus Aldo's a legend!
Bill, I do have one question pertaining to the clothing your wearing. Who is the maker of the suits you guys are wearing?
Mark was wearing a Helly Hanson lifejacket survival suit, and I believe Bill was wearing a Mustang Suit.

Bill is a great teacher. I was taught not to use gloves when releasing fish. Are those gloves safe for the fish?

Thanks for taking the time to clear that up
Queenstown boat lounch is a joke, very limited parking in a dirt, single short ramp, just shame for city of Niagara.
Jeez just use a spinning set up already
If thy lacketh salt, thy lacketh steel
Nerd
How much salt will meet your requirement good sir? Lake ontario has some salt in its waters
yeah but east coast is still allowed to fish for them, no matter what you call 'em.

No salt no steel
nobody cares don’t start a pointless debate
@@arirobinson16 Maybe don't engage then?
Lake ontario has salt, come and lick thy waters
@@deanazarnush884 Come take a look at the Pacific Ocean sometime. A lake is still a lake.
