There are many anglers who are obsessed with their gear. And many of them end up liking the tools more than the fishing itself. But in this video, I can feel the pride of a person who loves not only fishing but also the river itself and the time spent in nature before that. That's what tools are for, right? Thanks for the great video. From a tenkara guy in Japan.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks. Really appreciate it :) :) Cheers from Sweden

[@badman5007]

Is there really anything wrong with that? Building rods and nerding out over gear are just as much a hobby to me as fishing

[@gingerman-nq1vt]

@@badman5007 I have no intention of ridiculing someone's fishing style. I also know that tools bring more interest and joy to the world. But I arrived at "Tenkara", which was stripped of it as much as possible. That's it. May each other continue to have wonderful fishing days.

[@norman5202]

50 years ago my first job was to work for a fishing shop. One of the many skills that I was taught was to make cane fly rods. Not from scratch like this video but using cane supplied to the shop I and my colleagues made some beautiful rods. Thanks for the memories. I still use one of those rods along with new carbon rods. Cheers from lockdown and waiting for the season to commence again.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks for the great story Norman & Dianne. Really appreciate it :) Cheers

[@boesdi3908]

Good job

[@mcbdroid]

Beautiful video, beautiful craftsmanship, beautiful waters, beautiful trout, and beautiful people. Once again, a video that will be watched over and over again. Well done, and thank you.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Mark. Really appreciate your comment :) Cheers

[@vicg5323]

An old Navy tug master used to make the most sought after flies in New England. It was a hobby for him. They were by no means cheap to buy but it took him a long time to make. I can not imagine how much time it took to make that rod but it sure looks special. Thanks for sharing.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Vic. And thanks for the story :) Cheers

[@duanehall4311]

I never grow tired of watching videos like this, no matter what their making, when it's with love, passion, and old school craftmanship.....

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Duane. Appreciate it :) Cheers

[@underwaterireland]

Master rod-maker and master film-maker. All what I could add is more rod action when he was playing the fish.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks. Really appreciate it :) Cheers

[@benbiagioni9906]

Genius. This is the the soul of the art of fly fishing filmed like a dream in 5 minutes.

[@WesternPaFlyFisher]

One of the best fly fishing videos I've seen. Great depiction of the spirituality one can only feel knee deep in a trout stream. What a beautiful looking rod.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Wm. Really appreciate your comment :) Cheers

[@NYFIKENBRUN]

There is nothing quite like beautiful craftmanship, and what a fantastic fish. Thanks for the video, always appreciated.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Willy :) Ha de gott

[@kimkorpilahti2616]

Wonderful as usual! You catch details undescribeable to non-fishermen in an elegant way.

[@humphlc4]

Beautiful video , great to watch a craftsman at work! Nice to see the rod being worked on the river too , very relaxing!

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Steven. Good to hear you like the video :) Cheers

[@maxjarno7814]

Not interested in bamboo rods,but your film made me watch it and reflect about the proud craftmanship, regarding construction and building of the bamboo rod. By making someone like me that not is interested at all of a subject continue watching and enjoying the whole film has to mean something. Amazing film... superb work of art...

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Really great comment Max. Appreciate it very much :) Cheers

[@LifeOutdoors]

Those rods are beautiful well done showing the craftsmanship in the video. Also that brown looked like an eel that was such a long fish!

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks. Good to hear you like the video :) Many river trout are actually quite long and thin like this one, compared to lake living brown trout that feed more on fish. That's my experience anyway. Cheers

[@LifeOutdoors]

That does make good sense I don't have much experience with river browns. looking forward to your next upload!

[@AppalachianManCave]

Another great video. I have been on this river. It was in a different country and was called by a different name but the magic was the same!

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks. Good to hear there are more treasures like this out there :) Cheers

[@silverstuddedsabertoothdream]

Absolutely Gorgeous film,Amazing Rod Maker, and it is a spiritual moment when playing/praying in the creeks some of us call Church. You captured it enough that I'm feeling inspired. Thank You...

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Zane. Really appreciate your comment :) Cheers

[@paulhartmann6473]

I saltwater fish, but those rods damnnn..... Georgous! Truly a work of art

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Paul. Appreciate it :) Cheers

[@Adipper]

Agree with sentiment below. Just a beautiful depiction of craftsmanship taken stream side for the catch and release of a stunning brown. So refreshing in today's world of high modulus polymer coupled with hard rock. Thanks!!

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Larry. Comment appreciated :) Cheers

[@illuminousbrown333]

Beautiful rods and fantastic video...thanks for sharing!!! 😊

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks. Appreciate it :) Cheers

[@bamboomaker1193]

I absolutely love this video! As a maker myself it really captures the feelings and thoughts I have while working a strip on the forms or wrapping the guides. Then to take that new bamboo rod out to your favorite still water to see if it will perform the way you envisioned it would... You just get in a "zone" and the rest of the world falls away and time seems to just stop. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks Bamboo maker. Good to hear you like the video :) Cheers

[@BillMarion]

I need to know what's up with the thermos and the wooden spoon looking thing, Is that coffee, or is it soup? You just couldn't get by with that on my river. I mean, the fish would talk...

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Well it's coffee for sure. We drink a lot of that in Sweden :) And the wooden thing is a cup made up north in Sweden by the sami people. Tastes even better in that kind of thing. Cheers

[@BillMarion]

@@CarpeDiemFlyfishing Well now that you put it that way, I must have one! Seriously, I was joking, and I loved the video. In fact, I love this channel!

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

@@BillMarion Thanks Bill. Appreciate it :) Cheers

[@daryllawrick976]

Oh my god! Your films are are works of fine art. They begin to capture the art of fly fishing that is known only to actual fly fishermen. Thank you from Montana!

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks. Glad you like the videos :) Cheers

[@fullstrutn]

this video epitomizes fly fishing ,and why it attracts me, soft quiet mornings ,not the ear damaging roar of a bass boat or stink bait of catfishing ,nothing wrong with either one BUT aint my style

[@CarpeDiemFlyfishing]

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate your comment :) Cheers

[@jacobstarr9010]

I like both styles. Both entertain me. I prefer fly fishing for Bass, Bleugill and Trout, but for bigger species like salmon and Pike and walleye, i prefer spinning tackle.

[@darrelashford3105]

This was beautiful! Showing the craftsmanship and the work it take. Then showing where the work ended up and how much better it made someones life. 👏👏👏
