- 4 friends trying to compete Vancouver Island Trout Grand Slam. Will they succeed? Is it possible to catch dolly-warden, rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout on Vancouver Island.
This is laughably crazy. You guys have the production of big name companies and the personalities of veteran presenters. Certainly way higher quality than any of the big fishing company promotional videos. Great work!
Thank you! This was a fun movie to work on
Gotta say, amazing video and editing. Seriously, hugely under appreciated.
Deserves wayyyyyyy more subs and views, awesome editing and music, sick catches that put shivers down my spine, you know it's good when that happens!
I’m having a proud BC boy moment watching this video! Great work! I just finished reading Roderick Haig-Brown’s Fisherman’s Summer. He’d be proud of you all!👌🏻
Thanks for the kind words.
Excellent video, really well produced! Beautiful cinematography. Haven't explored much of the Island, however coming back this year a couple times to hunt some fish. It's amazing getting to look at new areas and new possibilities. Incredible, special place. Thanks for that.
Thank you for the kind words
Great short film!
Video didn’t get enough love, amazing!
Thank you!
Good job on this one!
Awesome !!!
I'd rather wait between shoots, and watch quality videos like this one as opposed to the " fishing video factory" so often on UA-cam.
Keep up the great work guys :-)
Greg Parks thank you
Cowichan River, San Juan River, Nitnat Lake. Nice to see some Vancouver Island content.
You were close
Very nice video! LMAO the very last line.
Great film! Fishing in my backyard...if you ever want to try some serious salt water fly fishing for Salmon, come on a trip with me this season with Island Outfitters! I am a professional salt water guide for them, and a passionate fly fisherman as well. Would love to take you guys out on a charter and target some wild coho fresh in the ocean. I think you would have a blast!
Free of charge? :)
Well that would be nice...but depending on my schedule I could offer last minute deals. I won't know until the season is underway.
Adrian South hey Adrian...do you guide rivers this time of year?
@@shawnfiddick5183 I have connections on that front for sure!
@@PavelFrancev Super stuff guys fantastic video and editing .. Iv`e been going to Vancouver Island in the Fall for 8/9 years chasing Coho`s its an Awesome Awesome place to be and I`ve barely scratched the surface - its truely a fishermans paradise .. Tight lines from Ireland
Sinking flies? Carries? Great vid.
you forgot brook trout in spectacle lake on the malahat
Outstanding!
Great fishing! Great Vid!. What river?
Great video! Love the fast-paced feel of the edit, too! You going to be entering this in the Fly Fishing Film Festival? Again, great work!
Thanks man. No, this film was entered to Fishing BC film contest
love the videos! i watched one and now i'm hooked LMAO what weight rods do you use on vancouver island for all these species? subbed
HuyFishin it depends on what you’re fishing for. For Coho 8wt work great. For throwing streamers for browns and cutties 6wt is great. For nymphing you can use 3-4wt
Man-O-Man I seriously hope someone can answer this for me. Today is Sept 15/22 and I've been living in Tofino for the last 11 months ( I hail from Kelowna ) and ever since I got here, I haven't been able to find any places to fresh water fish in my belly boat using fly rod.
Everything on the Islands seems to be more suited for ocean fishing.
Could someone tell me where this vid is shot and what body of water it's on I'd really appreciate a heads up..
Thanks in advance and AWESOME video.
I catch and release only.
Hi! Sorry, I won't share locations on the internet. However you should check out your local fly shops- they will be able to let you know where you should head to for your next adventure.
Did yall forget the resident cutties in lakes?
Do you guys get searun browns over there?
People say we do, however that's arguable.
@@PavelFrancev it would be a big wow if you did, they get to sizes similar to steelhead with amazing acrobatic battles! And after dark too!
@@PavelFrancev I guided for many years and I can say that every now and then we landed some beautiful chrome Sean run browns of around 9-12lbs. Several of our southern east coast rivers saw them in the mid 1990’s. Totally different to the large golden hued Loch Levin or German browns we see in the Cowichan.
I haven’t seen one for a long time but I always look forward to crossing paths with one . They are always totally incidental as we are targeting steelhead at those times . Cheers 🍻🙂
Sludge on botto. Of. River. You. See no. School of minos like i. Used to as a kid. Wild. Fish. Minos
