I do not believe that fishing guide is ever going to have a day off after this video. Which I know it will be a very good thing for him and his family. Amazing. 🎣
Very cool video. a little FYI-Simon Becker was using floating crab flies 25yrs ago on the flats west of KW and Marquesas. Orvis carried them for quite some time
I was there in 2020 but no one was using the floating crabs!! Looking forward to go back there and have some on the top! Very nice footage and video. Thanks!

One thing I have always wondered as a fly fisherman: how far out into the water can a guide/partner go to net a fish and still remain ethical? I've seen steelhead guides in the middle of rivers with a net and their clients are 50 yards away with the rod. How far out can this guide go to net a permit on the flats for their client. 50yrds? 100? I'm not being snooty or anything i've just never heard a solid answer to that question.
Interesting thought. It's a very situational thing, I would say. Certainly down the isle of running fish down with a boat etc. It also depends on the tackle. Some fish just refused to come in shallow. There is an IGFA legal aspect to it - written down on their website. But "ethical" is very situational IMHO. I have netted fish out of hazard zones, been underwater, dived fish out of coral holes etc.Food for thought though. Appreciate the input
