Dry Fly Fishing for 2 LARGE, RISING brown trout

[@flyman451]

Out of the hundreds of fly fishing videos I have watched this one is hands down the best I've ever seen of large rising trout.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you. It was an incredible time that unfolded before our eyes and the inspiration to nail the camera work all there. 😊 A joy to be there and a joy to share.

[@11happychap]

Watching this brought back some wonderful memories of some of the rising fish I have caught. Beautiful photography thanks for sharing.

[@jensenflyfishing]

That's just great to hear:) It's certainly those memories that keep us all sane during such uncertain times in our world. Thanks for commenting and glad you enjoyed it.

[@MeYouandBooAdventures]

Thank you! The personification of what this does for the soul! Great video and presentation of fly fishing is!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Glad you loved it 😊🍻

[@JohnSpence]

Absolutely stunning, incredible photography, and great fishing. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it 😊

[@St.111]

This was awesome from start to finish. Loved it, and we'll done!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it! We loved filming this one.

[@ibookje]

Epic catch captured marvellously

[@jensenflyfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it. It truly was an epic moment for both of us. Dave did such a gorgeous job of capturing those rises.

[@georgemitchell9114]

Wow, this is an absolutely awesome video. Thank you!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Really great to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks gir watching and commenting. 😊

[@carlchambers617]

Great cast, Amelia! You drifted that fly right between his eyes.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Every one of those drifts was so cosmically aligned. It was so visually amazing. Too bad one eat slipped through and the other the fish slipped off but thankful the male stuck. :)

[@crowfishing6857]

Beautiful fish,trout.nature,mountens,stream, so beautiful video,thank you so much.🐟♬

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thanks for watching. It's hard to pass up on capturing the beauty that nature has to show us!🙂

[@Bobbybaitz]

Incredible

[@jensenflyfishing]

That was fun to hunt and film 😊

[@powderthumb5959]

Okay - that was epic. Well done.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Those 2 fish truly were! We felt so grateful for the experience. Not something you come across often and they moved with such fluidity. Thanks for watching.

[@niltonc.7333]

Wow Amelia, what a cast! Both of them ... great video editing as well guys, congrats!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was such an amazing summer afternoon! Perfect casting lines to put those (3 actually!) casts right in the lane :)

[@browntrout54]

That was fabulous. Great filming and fishing. I'll miss NZ this year so much!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thanks! And yeah, it's a rough year. Hopefully next yr. Maybe not still but it's a strong pull in life isn't it?

[@dotfishing]

Please we want again dream video like this one!!!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Heaps more to come, we have had to balance fishing, filming & editing not just in season but planning ahead through April 2022!

[@dotfishing]

@@jensenflyfishing incredible!! :)

[@DukeTrout]

It’s so generous of you two to share that kind of day. It would be tempting to keep it to yourselves, so thank you! Did Amelia’s first fish just not get a hook in it on the first take, or did it break off? And was that an eel scar on it’s back? Wow, that male was eating salad!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Great to hear you enjoyed it. That first eat the fly just popped. The second did too. But it stuck in that Male, thankfully!

[@DukeTrout]

@@jensenflyfishing Yeah, I let out a loud “Whoohoo” when the big brown stayed on. My family looked at me like I’m strange.

[@oscarbarreiro4266]

Great images, almost like a choreography of both trout rising. Amazing to see them take the leaves... so I thought as well that they would eat your flyes 😉 Thanks¡

[@jensenflyfishing]

Not exactly selective, they sure were going to eat anything! The show of movement and light really captured our attention. 😊 Thanks for watching.

[@freddumas8536]

Hi Dave & Amelia 👋 We wasn't feeling well today... With this madness of variant nonsense and consequences. But, I found this masterpiece that we haven't seen yet. But heyyy, you guys just made our day. Thank you so much. From France with love ❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙

[@jensenflyfishing]

I'm sorry to hear that Fred. Yes, it can feel like such a relentless heavy what's going on in the world, so if we can provide a bit of escape and relief from that, then that's wonderful:)

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

As always, perfect video... Those fish that feed just under the surface demand accuracy... Their feeding lane is narrow..... So congratulations on those sniper casts.... What was that on females back? Looks like bite mark

[@jensenflyfishing]

Yeah we don't know as it never came to hand despite almost throwing itself at AJ's flies twice! 🤣 But something scratched it methinks. Definitely showed it as the same fish hooked twice! 🤣🍻

Wow, great video. Epic shots. Subscribed

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thanks for watching and subscribing It was an amazing moment to experience and share. 😊

[@argfdsafgfds]

Haha only one thing to do... hopefully no big mama brown is in the mood for redworm. So beautiful ! One day I have to visit NZ

[@jensenflyfishing]

Browns don't eat red worms do they? 🤣🍻

[@MariaGarcia-nc4ng]

Some the most amazing footage ..beautiful ..I want come fish with you whers this at

[@jensenflyfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it. There's nothing like watching beautiful trout feeding in gorgeous water.😊 It can be done in many parts of the world.

[@martinhodell8465]

that light brown sponge fly sure matched the hatch! They were eating everything in the drift. Guessing this happens during cicada season?

[@jensenflyfishing]

It can if left alone a few days. We've seen fish popping like dolphins in white water to cicadas 😍

[@gilleslafreniere]

Great wife! Great fishing! Life is good!

[@jensenflyfishing]

You got that right! I know how lucky I am. 🙂

[@oceanexploration]

Yet another completely epic and beautiful video! This channel should have 20 times the subscribers. "Dear Lord and Heavenly Father, I pray by your grace could there be a place set aside in heaven like this?"

[@jensenflyfishing]

Hope it evolves that way in time but for bow it's just wonderful to share and enjoy that people enjoy 'em 😊🍻

[@jmichaelperez1575]

The video you guys do is incredible[at least right up until Dave going off the cliff]. I can't get over those fish eating leaves. How about a little description of your mayfly pattern? Thanks again.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Antron shuck out back, ice dub thorax with copper wrap, either hair or wrinkled poly wing, 3 wraps hackle. Done!

[@johnstranack4689]

Great video many thanks. Please please let me know the title of the harmonica pies playing at the start.

thank you!

[@masterroshi3300]

Thanks

[@jensenflyfishing]

wonderful day in life :)

[@struck2soon]

Joy! Do you think they were rising to willow grubs? Frequent rises, flies not visible, the odd willow leaf floating past...been a while since I cast to a willow-grubber but that fish behaviour looked familiar.

[@jensenflyfishing]

It was a pretty good parade of mayfly spinners there... many spent. Real joy to record 😊👍

[@struck2soon]

@@jensenflyfishing a rarity in NZ on a big river indeed, what a dream scenario! The shots of the fish rising were addictive to watch.

[@jensenflyfishing]

So incredibly effortless in that flow 😊

Thank you, glad you enjoy it and hope it remains a good channel to follow 😊🍻

[@mikemakuszak9567]

I'm very happy to have found this channel! Your videos are purely epic and super informative. I have to ask, what country do you guys trout fish in?

[@jensenflyfishing]

Great to hear and glad you're here 😊 all our videos are from our home province of Alberta or Patagonia or New Zealand 🍻👍

[@elfeo1248]

Love the videos where do you get ur pants for fishing and what are they called and what type of shoes do you use?

[@jensenflyfishing]

I use the orvis pro lt field pant and ultralight wading boot 😊🍻

[@elfeo1248]

@@jensenflyfishing thank you so much

[@nathanduifhuis5998]

Just curious on what your approach to water temperature is in terms of catch and release. I usually stop fishing for trout and steelhead when the water temperature gets above 17C. Great footage btw

[@jensenflyfishing]

It's a fairly in-depth question actually as various trout have different tolerances... and different pieces of water and water types are distinctly different in dissolved oxygen. Catching a mid-sized and controllable brown trout in a riffle and releasing it in a riffle at 19C is dramatically different than catching a cutthroat trout at 18C in a long, flat glide with little flow. Is there an absolute? No. In particular, if a water is 50% of normal flow and 17C you may be doing more harm than a stream of 80% flow at 19C, moreso species dependent. As I chased the Alberta government through sub-committee for a decade to get them to institute Emergency Stream Closures (aka Hoot Owl) their data and conclusions were almost incredulous that "there almost isn't point to closing brown trout streams because brown trout have a propensity to shut down at higher temperatures and low flows rendering them uncatchable". There again, over in New Zealand there is ZERO thought to closures because it would tip F&G's hand to organizations such as PETA and open a liberal can of worms, hence why there isn't much in the way of C&R there on a non-native, introduced population of rainbows and browns. Many, many Kiwi tributary streams get into the 22 to 26C range. All quite a dance. Really, we rely on the conditions about the fish... if it's happy and active and we can control the fight in a riffled bit of water and release it in riffled or strong flowing water we take it on... so long as it's not over that feel about 19 or 20 nor a bull trout, grayling, whitefish, native rainbow or cutthroat... and again different to native species in our travels. Again, in how we fish it's not difficult to watch fish behaviour. Nothing is ever an absolute... unless the fish says it is.

[@tinoyb9294]

Who says brown trout don't jump??? If I saw these fish, the first thing I would do is check my knots!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Absolutely! Gorgeous fish in a gorgeous setting... too bad that fist one didn't stick, that fly popped out twice!
