Man fishin on ur lunch break... ya that's awesome

[@AnglingSpiders]

The best

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

I really liked this one, Sean...even though you didn't catch anything. Very cool to see the trip from the big city to the Bow. Loved the video of the actual trip to it almost as much as fishing it. No surprise that the Plusinno held up well. Everyone else loves theirs. Man, I wish I didn't pass up on that review when I thought it was a scam 😂

[@AnglingSpiders]

Maybe you could reach out to them yourself. They did reimburse me for the purchase.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

@@AnglingSpiders I did and they sent me the net instead 😂👍

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

That’s a good amount of current there Sean, but a nice eddy. Calgary looks like a really clean city and really nice as far as cities go. Nice way to get out and get some fresh air during lunch and casting a line is always a bonus.. oh man that was a nice trout that almost hit your lure. Nice stick fish there at the end, gave you a chance to see how the rod handles some pressure.👍

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thank you so much, really appreciate your comments. Yes the Bow River is pretty fantastic

[@X2OAnglingOutdoors]

That Plussino rod and reel combo looks like a great setup for a lunch break fishing excursion. So cool that you have the river that close to your job that you can drop a line in. That's awesome you were able to catch those trout jumping on camera. You had a beautiful day to enjoy your break. Thanks for taking us along.

[@AnglingSpiders]

No problem, thanks for the comment. It has been working great so far. Looking forward to using it even more

[@SteveFromWyoming]

Nice convenient place to fish by work, at least you didn't smell fishy going back at work.

[@AnglingSpiders]

I wouldn't mind it if I got a couple of nice ones, lol

[@RosinFlyFishing]

ooh nice rainbow too! fun little kit, might have to get into that kind of kit some day if I just want to chuck spinners!

[@AnglingSpiders]

You should!

[@lostanchorfishn1292]

I absolutely love fishing on my lunch break if we are on site and there's a river or a lake I'm bringing a pole 100% of the time

[@AnglingSpiders]

Gonna try to do it more and more for sure

[@MainstreamAngling]

Beautiful view you have in the office! That looked like a fantastic lunch. Wish I could spend mine at school like that! Too bad no fish but the bow river is hard. Keep trying. Great video!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, will definitely keep at it as long as the weather is good

[@MainstreamAngling]

@@AnglingSpiders Sounds good man! I can't wait!

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

Nice looking place for a spot of fishing . Bet it's sore heading back to work after that little spell .

[@AnglingSpiders]

Definitely tough to head back to work

[@jmkc1964]

Thanks for sharing great video sir

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks and appreciate the comment

Nice place for fishing

[@AnglingSpiders]

Indeed it is

[@PEKAKTELERCHANEL]

Very nice my brother..big like😊👍👍👍

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thank you

[@FishinAccomplished]

It's very nice to have such a beautiful body of water in just walking distance to work! Nice stuff!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, definitely nice to be able to get there few a few casts

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

Nice video buddy! Great idea

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks Ted

[@trussmancing491]

Good fishing my friend

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks 👍

[@reelfeelfishing]

You can't beat fishing on a work break. What a beautiful clean city and beautiful river. That rod and reel is truly a great traveling rod. Great stick fish near the end! It happens hahaha.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Yep, looking forward to getting out there more times over the summer

[@TheWaterSwatters]

I enjoined this video from the very beginning. I thought that's a slick shirt, then you rode a train to work after that you walked 5 minutes out of the city to a beautiful river. Reeling with my left hand wouldn't work for me either.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, it is so noce to be able to get there quickly.

[@maxsocalangler]

Wow love this type of video brother! Nice stick fish lol, That is so cool you can fish on your break! 👍🤙😎

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, gonna keep at it until I get a brown trout.

[@JohnAmes]

Great video my friend 👍

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thank you John

[@wildgirlsalberta73]

Pretty decent looking rod! And nothing better than a little lunch break fishing session!

[@AnglingSpiders]

You bet, thanks Amanda

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

I wish I could fish on my lunch break! Looks like a great river! I'm right handed but I cast and reel like that one is set up lol! Thanks for sharing buddy!

[@AnglingSpiders]

No problem, thanks for the comment

[@differentfins]

No kidding. I've gone fishing before work but I only get a half hour paid lunch, cant leave work. But that's okay I get off work at 3:00pm 😉

[@ShowMeCreeks]

Great looking river man. A little fast for my taste but I'd definitely fish it. Good luck out there.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks 👍it will slow down towards the end of summer. I will keep trying over the next few months.

[@ThatShinerGuy]

It is really neat that you have easy access to that river and park just minutes from downtown. Great way to spend your lunch break!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Absolutely, appreciate the comment

[@JunTsOutdoors]

Fishing During the lunch Break heck yeah!! That was big rainbow. Beautiful river. Great video Sean!!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks 👍

[@darreng1918]

Glad to see the rod and reel combo worked out. Love the mighty Bow.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thank you so much

[@DCOutdoors]

Sean, so cool that the location is only a 5 minute walk from work. That rod/reel set is so compact. Impressive how it breaks down so small. Super convenient for fitting in a backpack. I'm impressed versus having to strap the combo on a pack or have it sticking up out of your bag. I'm really impressed!! Good on you for doing this during your work break. I do a lot of travelling through northern / central AB for work. Love packing my rod and tackle on some trips so instead of spending hotel nights watching TV I can check out some ponds and try fishing! Regarding crank Baits for trout, do you find them normally successful? I haven't had much luck with rainbows on anything except pickerel rigs and bait (powerbait, trout balls, marshmallows or maggots).

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks 👍sorry for the late response

[@SaskFisher]

Thats cool! I really like those kits. For beginner or pro. Nice and compact....can hide it along anywhere yah go and sneak out and go fishing....hahaha

[@AnglingSpiders]

Yep, and should be good in a suitcase as well!

[@joel6pack]

Great episode! You work close to me. I am in TC Tower. Good at CV. 15+ fish today. Going to Clear Lake next weekend.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Very close, I am in 5th Avenue Place

[@yakcamfishing811]

Super convenient to take a fishing break at lunch! Have you tried 3D printing hook covers? Cheap and easy to make different sizes.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, I actually have plastic hook covers that I bought, but the wrap around ones I got from Dollarama are even easier to use. Just need to remember to throw one in there.

[@riverfishingmn1500]

Very beautiful. I used to fish on my lunch breaks too. Its hard to go back if your smacking fish. Great video

[@AnglingSpiders]

It would definitely be hard if the bite was on

[@FCPFishing]

Looks like a beautiful city. Interesting that you say that was a left handed reel, to me that is for right handed people. I'm right handed and that is the way we have always used a spinning reel, for a bait caster it is the opposite. I would have a hard time going back to work if I could fish that close by!

[@AnglingSpiders]

It is definitely hard to go back, even harder if the bite was on.

Greetings to you and Son

[@brianquan7218]

Under the peace bridge usually holds a few browns, hopefully the next lunch break produces more fish haha

[@AnglingSpiders]

Good to know, gonna keep at it for sure

[@LarrysFishing]

What a gorgeous setting to spend your lunch from work. Nice catch on camera of the two jumpers :) Better luck next time Sean!!!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks 👍

[@BigBaitPosse]

what a great looking river. Green space looks awesome. Liked the review of the kit. It's perfect for that situation.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks 👍appreciate the comment

[@adjustin2fishin330]

Uh oh, we've got the "working spiders" today y'all. Lol

[@AnglingSpiders]

Lol, you bet!

[@bushfishncook2128]

Couldn't think of a better way to spend my time during lunch, Luckily working for myself I can take a little longer if I have to haha Absolutely beautiful water out there on that bow river looks amazing even right through town The river that goes through my town is brown or dirty green most of the time and smells bad at times But sections still hold good fish surprisingly, still sad to see how our rivers look compared to over there To bad you couldn't hook a fish but still enjoyed the vid, Them lures look awesome can't wait to see them in action on the next one Keep up the awesome work and I always smash that like button but thanks for the reminder haha

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, always love reeading you comments, appreciate it a lot

[@adventuring_with_MK]

Looks like a fun adventure! That’s awesome that you were able to get a line in the water during your lunch break!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, going to see if I can do it regularly

[@ZachTheFisherman]

The best way to spend your lunch break! That rod is nice, perfect & compact!

[@AnglingSpiders]

You got that right! Gonna be out there regualrly if the weather is good

[@tcz7742]

Worked 35 years in the DT wish I had tried that. Also took the train every day from the SW. I would try a smaller spinner lure.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, going to get out there a little this fall after the snow melts. I will geto one eventually!

[@ryryk6977]

If your having trouble on the bow use some Mepps or panther martens or use a indicator with some flies on a spinning rig

[@AnglingSpiders]

Good to know, thanks for the tip

[@kamalfishing9232]

Beautiful spot 😍😍😍😍😍, happy Fishing my friend

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thank you so much

[@TheKCFishPage]

Great Video. That downtown is beautiful 👍

[@AnglingSpiders]

It really is! Thanks

[@HuyFishin]

Pline Fluoroclear is my all time favourite! what a great way to spend a lunch break

[@AnglingSpiders]

Yep, gonna be a regular thing

[@F.A.R.T]

the rod definitely is great for situations like this. man, that rainbow would have been nice if caught.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Agreed, but I will be back for more attempts

[@GaryTheFishfinder]

That Jumping trout was definitely awesome Sean very nice video thanks for sharing my friend 👍beautiful place blessing from Paradise🙂⚓️🙏

[@AnglingSpiders]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rdonisky]

Its still fun even Fishing on luch break, what a nice place to fish sean. 🙏👍

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thank you so much

[@TheDuncandan]

Nice bush trout at the end, I miss the bow, had some great times there. Thanks Sean

[@AnglingSpiders]

Lol, that was definitely more than a "tree" pounder

[@Rainy78]

Would I be able to catch rainbows from shore in Calgary? Im looking for some good fishing pots. I moved to Lethbridge Alberta from Ontario. Thanks for sharing! 👌🏻

[@adolfojmz2200]

Thanks for the video, I have the same rod and I love but it isn’t a left handed rod, you can change the reel handle to the other side

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, I did figure that out after this video

[@Sandman2749]

Great visuals and I like the change of format just as something new. Ironically I have those same gloves in green from last year and really love them. Also digging those catch em big lures

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks, yes loving the Catch Em Bigs, I will feature them in the next video

Realmente te encanta la pesca 😃👍👍

[@AnglingSpiders]

I sure do!

[@brandodooferman9378]

Gave me some hope to start fishing in the bow. Ive mostly done lakes havent tried much rivers

[@AnglingSpiders]

The Bow is much easier by boat (I use my kayak). It can be challenging from shore unless you know the spots, but a lot of people do have success

[@sportfishingCengizandnature]

Like 2 Wonderful sharing good luck

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thank you so much

[@jessiegardiner7780]

I've never been able to catch any fish within the city on the bow, usually have to head out of town for any sort of success

[@AnglingSpiders]

It can definitely be tough, but a few people have shared spots with me. I think you really need to know the spots and what to use.

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

Work? Isn't fishing and youtube work enough?😋 Your cities north of the boarder are so different then what we get in the states.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Gotta work sometimes! Lol

Hello my Friend blessings

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thank you and same to you

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

that is awesome. I like how compact that kit is. I'm wondering 🤔, can you unscrew the crank on the reel and switch sides? a few of my reels do

[@AnglingSpiders]

I said in the video you couldn't but I just figured out how to do it so will need to give an update in a future video

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

@@AnglingSpiders that's awesome. some reels just screw back a bit and fold.

[@FishingNOutdoorFun]

great

[@AnglingSpiders]

Thanks

[@differentfins]

I havent spent much time in Calgary since I was a teenager, beautiful city! Quick question Sean: do you know what powers that travel rod comes in? I am looking for a MH rod to replace my St Croix Triumph that blew up on me. So hard to find a good heavier travel rod. Cheers.

[@differentfins]

Looks like that rod has some decent backbone to it. Where did you purchase that rod? (Edit: I read your description and will follow the link) I know I'm late to the party... this video has been on my watch later list since you uploaded lol. Guess I've been busy

[@AnglingSpiders]

No problem, yes I think they have different weights.

[@crudeoil9347]

Rock snot's medicinal for all's what ails ya!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Lol, if you say so!

[@TefZee]

Just came to laugh at spin fishers on the bow lol

[@AnglingSpiders]

Well, I know some people who do pretty well at it, so feel free to laugh away!

[@Lifewithfishing]

Рыбалка удалась 👍👍👍

[@AnglingSpiders]

Yes, a big success!

[@DMYTRO_SUPERvip]

HI! DO i need to have licence to fishing in Calgary?

[@AnglingSpiders]

Yes

[@DMYTRO_SUPERvip]

@@AnglingSpiders do you have any video about it? or it will be new idea for next video)) how to receive fishing licensee and how much it coast, which area it allowed to fishing!

[@bradbaraniuk4085]

you cant change the handle
