    I saw so many fishing videos on internet, because when winter hits in Slovakia and life is meaningless i always come to at least watch other people catch trout. But my man, i think u are capturing the very soul of trout fishing with your videos... its not about size, length, flashy video effects....its about the craziness of ordinary men lost in the woods looking for small stupid fish :), the authenticity of your clips is incomparable to anything else on youtube.... keep up the amazing work, big fan!

    No man ever steps into the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he’s not the same man.
    Beautiful video friend, this is what it’s all about. For a few hours at a time, we cross the forest portal into the magical world of brook fishing. There is nothing better for the soul, and for me personally, it is one of the only places where I truly feel like I am exactly where I need to be, exactly at the right time.

I love watching the birds, flowers, trees, bugs, etc. And I love your videos because they show you as a human being, not as a Super Angler, pulling a fish from the pool every two minutes of the video.

  • @FrentierRion
    @FrentierRion 10 місяців тому

    I'm 8 months late but typically I'd call a pool in a bend a "cut" as the river has cut out the side of the bank on the river with the faster flow on the bend. I don't know if other English speakers would call it that but that's just what it is to me. You get those nice deep sections that almost are like caves along the side of the river as they can go fairly far under the bank of the river and can hold surprisingly large trout even in small creeks. Beautiful video.

    The Swedish Spruce, Norway Spruce if i caught your latin proper, is a different tree.
    That i understand, the Douglas Fir started being planted in the forestry system as a "faster" growing option in Europe. More or less.
    Flowers???? I appreciates them all. Beautiful video.

    I relly like this new series of yours! And man I love those little forest streams as well! They have a unexplainable magic to them you can't find anywhere else. Even if the fish there are usually smaller, the 30 cm fish can have the same effect as a 50-60 cm fish from a bigger rapids. Keep up the good work!

    In Germany we call these deepe spots in a stream "Gumpen". They can be in a curve, but also in a straight part of a stream. Its not the same like a pool, its this deep little whole down at the riverbed.

  • @DennisJH

    You nailed it man, it's a bend pool. I can see how in the slow current of that river the added depth of the bend pool is what makes it a prime lie.

    @10:00 the word that comes to mind is "thalweg". I pulled out my first year geology textbook for some more info. The term is used to describe the deepest part of the channel. In meandering streams, it lies near the outside curve, since the fastest flow shifts to the outer edge of the stream, and water follows a spiral-like path.

    Think you had it spot on in the video, Meander: a bend in a river. The outside of the meander has the fastest flow and deepest water. Eddys also could be used too.
    Other descriptions could be, river channel, river cliff, a bluff, all cut by the meander. More technical would be Helicoidal flow, which is a corkscrew flow of water in a meander which forms the above mentioned terms. Meander seems the most appropriate term.
