I never thought Huge Fly Fisherman videos could get any huger, but featuring Willi and his epic stache is the pinnacle of hugeness.

These videos are so much more interesting and realistic than the highly edited shows you see on tv. Just like when I'm fishing by myself.

Second best pro fishing tip of all time: “We ain’t gonna catch one if we don’t make a cast...” second only to my Uncle Doug’s Fishing Law Corollary: “You can’t catch a fish without your line in the water.”

Hi Ben, I really appreciate you posting this video. For some reason I envisioned professional fisherman making perfect casts, decisions, but you are showing how human fishing really is. We make bad calls, fall in river, get hung up in trees....etc. Thanks man, you are the best channel on KZbin!!! Ps....Who is disliking these videos? They must not be HUGE!

I wish I could hit the like button more. The only problem with this video is it got me way to fired up to chase the trout with dries. But, it’s to warm here to be safe for the trout. So, I guess I’ll just fish the ponds for bass and panfish.
