For all the times there’s almost no explanation for losing a fish, I’m super grateful for those insane takes like simply leaving a fly in the water and just having a fish engulf it.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Especially when they remain in thr mind's eye like this 😍🍻

[@oceanexploration]

This is PhD level videography, fly fishing, and marital team work. Wonderful!

[@tenkarapondfishing4611]

Absolutely. What I really appreciate in the Jensen's fly fishing videos is the time and care taken to develop a strategy for each fish.

[@jensenflyfishing]

A lot of time spent together has helped us improve on all of the above! Thanks for watching. 🙂

[@jensenflyfishing]

For us it's all about taking other's along with us through it all, hence the time to film fully and share our reasoning and why we choose various tactics.

[@diegohuc7117]

Simply beautiful, your vids guys are a piece of art!!! Thanks and Congrats!!!!!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you - glad you enjoy our channel :)

[@laberingue7422]

Sight fishing is the ultimate approach of fly fishing ! In France it's the grail... for big fish. The casting technique is really different with a finesse approach and micro nymph. Method approved around the world... It could be amazing to see you in action on our rivers ! 😍

[@jensenflyfishing]

It is wonderful! :) The thing about fly fishing is the adjustments needing to be made as different waters and nuances arise in different locations, certainly. That's the fun :) What works one location needs a vastly different presentation to the next and we as anglers get to adjust and apply different tactics :)

[@Duschbag]

What a beautiful art this Flyfishing is... 😮

Stunning videography, and great fishing too as always. Thanks! :)

An incredible place to film and the lighting was there in spades that day. Thanks for watching.

this beautiful animal counts every joul of energy, giving also received. His jaw is open every time only for needed space .... perfect footage!!!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you, it took some time and effort to capture and edit these scenes and the others as shared in the full version at our membership. These rises are simply wonderful to immerse into :)

Amazing videography!

It meant a lot to us to capture and share it:)

[@briljantje9583]

As always: phenomenal.

[@jensenflyfishing]

When those heads show in certain light they're simply a magnet to our cameras!

[@mrintresting256]

Truly extraordinary film….one of the best I’ve seen on dry fly fishing. Especially loved the footage of the last brown eating the willow grubs….mesmerising!

[@jensenflyfishing]

The oil slick looking heads cresting the surface in various light is pure eye candy to us! Thank you for seeing the value and sharing your thoughts.

[@stephennagy4015]

Thanks

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you so much for your support this way. It helps us to continue filming and sharing.

[@bradenthornton1903]

WOAH!! That fish eating when you weren’t expecting and just had your line dangling in the water below you was wild!!! Can’t believe that happened in that stream. Love when that happens.

[@jensenflyfishing]

The unexpected is pretty wild when it happens:) It couldn't ignore my fly in its pathway.

[@obie_8214]

beautiful as always!

Thank you! 😊

[@stephennagy4015]

Magical Thankyou

[@jensenflyfishing]

That's music to our ears. Thanks again for watching.

[@bradenthornton1903]

How do you determine how close to cast to the fish? As I understand, you want to be close enough that they see it but not so close that it spooks them. How do you determine that distance?

[@jensenflyfishing]

It does come down to the feel of reading fish behaviour, water & sky conditions, the best location to cast from, the approach to get into that position and the required cast based on not crossing too any current seams, etc. A lot of micro-decisions that lead to your best position for the best cast that make things the most direct & easiest. We tend to be about 25 to 35' from the fish on most of these situations, though often a lot closer. We have a solid breakdown of this in our Fly Fishing Trout Streams Master-Course available here, it's worth the investment of the time and a modest $$$ : www.patreon.com/jensenflyfishing/shop/fly-fishing-trout-streams-master-course-36596?source=storefront

[@bradenthornton1903]

It’s nice to see that even you guys lose plenty of fish! Haha sometimes landing them is harder than hooking them!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Even after applying all the fighting tactics necessary, bushy streams full of obstacles can have their way with anyone!

[@tenkarapondfishing4611]

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of FF channels on YT. But two really stand out, in terms of the quality of the videos. You two! And, Flicky Flies. Strictly Tenkara.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you. It's all about putting time in to developing your craft and being inspired and loving what you do. The environment on this day had a very strong pull for us.🙂

[@big1dog23]

Agree. I started watching MikeFisher's NZ videos years and years ago, and at about the same time, Trout Boynz. I think they were co-sponsored and collaborated Check out there "Chirp, Chirp, Slurp," a classic, just pure joy during the Cicada hatch..One of Mike's classic's is "Dream Stream" or "Joe and the Giant Fish."As great as those were, they weren't as instructional as TOT or Jensen., imo, who cover from Patagonia and CA to NZ.

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@big1dog23 Ah, Andrew... had a good thing going a while there then Ytube changed the rules massively and the potential was cut by 80% - ff channels make about $50 a video if you're lucky and the 2 days to film, 2 days to edit and produce just don't warrant that kind of time. If you find a channel you love, support it by any means necessary. Hopefully Alex continues once married life settles! :)

[@whereameye527]

Hello from Pennsylvania! Just wanted to let you two know you're doing the lords work for the fly fishing community 😄 May I ask what type of creek this is you guys are fishing? Cheers!

[@jensenflyfishing]

spring creek

[@JV-he8lt]

Do u think fly line color matters to the fish

[@jensenflyfishing]

Not one iota if your approach & presentation are to the level needed in these waters for these fish.

I’ve never seen a willow grub!

[@jensenflyfishing]

They're very tiny little critters! Something to look forward to! 😁

[@owenwoodward4467]

The ecology conservation side of me is partly horrified. So many exotics and weeds you can hardly tell which country. But then It's a pretty awesome example of the value in novel ecosystems.

[@jensenflyfishing]

When we look at the ecology of almost every square inch on the planet, zoom out and realize every square inch is managed to human values and has been manipulated by human want/use, we see the same virtually everywhere. To isolate one video or location misses the same virtually everywhere. Introduced species of grain crops, livestock, birds, pest spp, plants/weeds, on and on it goes. At some point our interferences and manipulations have to be seen as the base, where nature's ability to exist and adapt has to be marveled at - that's what this video is. Without all the above, two Canadians aren't fly fishing brown trout under a willow canopy there, then.

[@owenwoodward4467]

​@@jensenflyfishing I agree, nowhere may be completely beyond our influence. In NZ where that deep historical impact of people is less than just about anywhere else it's easy for people to assume there's only value in the native and unmodified. A trap which I try and avoid, but this is a reminder. You've captured the beauty of something entirely different and new yet functioning and healthy and undoubtedly valuable in many ways.

[@jensenflyfishing]

@@owenwoodward4467 incredibly true and something I suspect we humans will have to adopt moving forward. Glad you loved this :)
