sometimes it's just fishing | sights & sounds on the water

[@jeromedwojak918]

Nothing like the solitude of fishing, that's therapeutic in itself!

[@lucaspensis2378]

Love this style of video, and that ol battenkill sound

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you Lucas! Figured I'd switch it up for a vid

[@russellchoi675]

The rise at 2:03 as you’re walking away. Classic

[@FLYALLSZN]

That is how it goes Russell!

[@highthai7]

If you slow the video and zoom in you can actually see the fish laughing.

[@bradmizzou]

Headed to the Little Piney this coming weekend. This has me pumped!!

[@ChrisLuken-p8k]

Therapeutic. This video exemplifies the solace I find when I’m on the water. Thank you for doing what you do Mike!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Much appreciated Chris! A little different than the normal vids!

[@MrSofthackle]

Those are some absolutely beautiful rainbows. Kind of reminds of the ones I catch in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Most of the rainbows I catch are stockers. It’s a nice reminder to see how colorful the wild ones are. I’m always use to your narration. It’s interesting to see just the video alone.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Not bad to switch it up sometimes!

[@Daniel-td1ou]

Your video reminds me of when I go fishing, pretty much no dialogue. The sounds of nature are amplified in the absence words. It was a great video, love the underwater shots, I think I even saw a crawfish?? That being said your poetic commentary will be looked forward to on your next video. :)

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you Daniel! Sometimes nothing needs to be said! Just cast and breathe in the day.

[@stephenp106]

Wow, talk about serenity. This is what I like to hear when I'm on the river. Mike, I don't think I've ever seen a videographer do a voiceless video; a very clever idea. And as always, I enjoy seeing you in the Ozarks. Well done and thanks, Steve

[@FLYALLSZN]

Just trying to switch it up a bit! Because sometimes it’s really just fishing!

[@mikeeckenrodt4762]

Liked that you were back in Missouri! Love when no one is around! I’m headed down to the current river next week - going to fish that stretch where you caught that Big Brown by the boulders below the campgrounds! I’ve caught some nice trout there over the years🎣

[@FLYALLSZN]

Gotta get on the home waters whenever I can!!

[@MarkRhodesPhD]

Thanks so much for this video. Nice combination of worlds for me. We finished up school in Missouri (Ph.D. wildlifer) and spent many hours fishing those wonderful streams. Then we moved back home to Eastern Oregon. Each year, I get a few trips here catching the wild fish that are the genetic stock for those Missouri trout. These red-band trout were selected because they could withstand some of the warmer water temperatures. As I get older, I'm better at catching bigger fish, but the main thing for me is to get on the wilderness streams where we rarely see anyone else, the scenery is grand, and the fishing usually tops it all off.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Of course Mark! So glad you enjoyed!

[@radsoup89]

love it...could use 8 hrs of this while I work. Thanks Mike

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you Ross! I might have to make some more like this!

[@darrelbaillie7829]

What? No communication 😢. I always like to listen to your stories 😂. But in a way, I agree. Total silence, and just enjoy the peace and quiet 😊. Nice outing

[@FLYALLSZN]

Sometimes it's just about fishing!

[@Callaweginflyfishing]

Mike, I love the Little Piney and its beautiful wild trout. Good video, it tells everyone else why we love this stream. Thanks!

[@JakeXSV]

I definitely think "sights & sounds" style videos should get sprinkled in! This was great.

[@FLYALLSZN]

I kind of liked it too! Fun way to just let the day role on.. because sometimes its just fishing..

[@stevenschoppmann4946]

Great video Mike. Solitude and beautiful scenery are why we love to fly fish. Colorful wild bows. Don't remember ever hearing the click and pawl of your reel.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you Steven!!

[@neillsayers1489]

Beautiful! Thanks!

[@FLYALLSZN]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@rickwright3046]

Love the natural sound...really brings out the solitude. Hope you do this style of video again, especially for the MO streams. I love the narrated videos too, but this one was special for the stillness and quiet. Tight lines Mike!

[@FLYALLSZN]

I just might have to! Thank you Rick!

[@OwenBon]

Love when adventurers go back to fishing their home waters! Great classic video Mike! I could never create videos like yours! I do like the poetic narrating that you normally have in most of your videos. You have a way of narrating a shot/scene that makes it feel like I’m truly there and helps depict everything going on around you! Please keep the videos coming! Cheers!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much Owen! This one is a bit different, but the different video style was nice.

[@carolguezen5829]

So relaxing…love fishing but love watching you fish when I can’t get out.

[@scottrick5190]

Definitely one of my favorite streams, great vid as always!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you Scott! Mine as well!

[@teriserugi1198]

Nice video! Love this spot! Fish here all the time. Thansk!

[@FLYALLSZN]

It is an absolute gem!

[@williamchaussee5721]

Gotta make it up to the Bozeman area sometime, would love to give you some backcountry spots

[@FLYALLSZN]

I might make my way up there this year!

[@BigAl2918]

Do you have any videos on how to get into and start fly fishing? You would be a great teacher.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you Alex! I don't as of right now! There are a lot of videos out there that claim to know what it takes to get into fly fishing.

[@kingkiddfishing]

That wind got insane quickly. Great relaxing video

[@FLYALLSZN]

That was the last warm day of the season! That wind was fighting a losing battle with a bone chilling cold front

[@ThoricAuthority]

Do you have or can you post a video about how to set up a fly rod? I haven't used one for years! I'd be using it more for Crappie and Blugill since I live in North East Kansas but I'll also be heading up to Estes Park Colorado soon!

[@samuelmeisenheimer3232]

Amazing video as usual.

[@lombaj01]

New to Missouri and really enjoying learning the Little Piney....How do you get past the first slow pool bend (at about 3min into your video)? do you just bushwack through on the right hand side? Is there a trail?...

[@RP-rq4in]

What a great video.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Glad you enjoyed!!

[@geoffanderson5144]

nice one Mike, i really need to get out there soon

[@FLYALLSZN]

Yes!! It is one of my favorites

[@CannyAxe]

walked that trail like 2 weeks ago and found about 8 ticks between myself and my dog

[@FLYALLSZN]

It’s about that time of year!

[@carywood3946]

Awesome stuff. Love it.

[@FLYALLSZN]

Cary!! Thank you so much!

[@9724470741]

Nice hatch! Lots of risers.

[@FLYALLSZN]

They were coming up like crazy but so tough to dial em in!

[@alejandrojimenez6223]

Mike the content god! Always helping time pass while I’m at my desk at work 🦾

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much Alejandro!

[@RyanGr33n]

Where is this?! I live in western illinois, 2 hrs from STL, desperate for areas to pack into with decent fishing!

[@wildbillsadventuresoutdoor9276]

Awesome catches

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you!!

[@wildbillsadventuresoutdoor9276]

@@FLYALLSZN your welcome!

[@tigersteamer]

Perfect❤

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you very much!

[@awflyfishing]

enjoyable video!

[@FLYALLSZN]

Thank you so much!!

[@wildbillsadventuresoutdoor9276]

You fish so many places different States! Quick question, what's be the best place go hiking few miles to go camping day or two for fly fishing in Colorado. Maybe 5 to 6 miles hike. I'm little bit out of shape, plus my age range past my prime 😮😢.

[@ericpyeatt4982]

Good ol creek! Still bummed about the bridge access...

[@Jbcustoms56]

What happened at the bridge access?

[@FLYALLSZN]

That access point used to be crazy during the summer. Lawn chairs and loud music. I can understand why the private land owners shut it down

[@Jbcustoms56]

I guess that was recent? I haven’t been down there in about 2 years. I was actually thinking about going there this weekend. I was excited to see you were back in Missouri! I love all your adventures but fishing Missouri waters is why I started following you.

[@tylerbell519]

Hey I just picked up a leafcutter what line and reel are you setup with love the videos keep it up

[@ianjones6910]

Nice...McClouds?

[@FLYALLSZN]

At one point yes! I am sure they have been muddied since they were stocked back in the day

[@wildbillsadventuresoutdoor9276]

Can't wait

[@billquantrill4960]

Long live the Rolla Triangle.

“All the wonders of life are already here. They’re calling you. If you can listen to them, you will be able to stop running. What you need, what we all need, is silence. Stop the noise in your mind in order for the wondrous sounds of life to be heard. Then you can begin to live your life authentically and deeply.” ― Thích Nhất Hạnh, Silence: The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise

[@bidenadministrationischina5091]

Keep making vids

[@johnwilkes4090]

ASMR for fishermen.
