Winter Fly Fishing Buffet S2 Episode 3 - Rewards of Braving the Cold!!!

Episode 3 Winter Fly Fishing Buffet - We all love fly fishing in the Summer, but for those who don't mind the cold find that Winter has some AMAZING opportunities for the fly fisher. Small midges and light tippet are the key to unlocking the river's secrets! We hope you enjoy!
Series Overview:
Three years ago we launch the original Buffet Series which consisted of 8 fly fishing adventures from around the globe. We had so much fun creating and sharing those stories that we decided to create a second round of fly fishing adventure films. In season 2 we stay a bit closer to home and focus on the amazing trout fisheries the West has to offer. We invite you to join us on these adventures as we share some of our favorite experiences with you.
Whether your preference is chasing trout in a cold mountain stream, bonefish on a secluded flat, or large mouth bass in your favorite warm water pond, this series has something for you!

Winter is my favorite time to fly fish. The serenity and lack of fishing pressure makes it special.

[@krevin14]

So peaceful standing in the middle of a river, gentle snow falling but man is it hard to keep your hands warm. Worth it.

[@mitchkay6310]

Gil is a wizard on the fly rod and behind the camera!

[@dougruecker9432]

Winter fishing is bliss. Few people, willing fish, peaceful snowfall. You captured it in your video. Thanks.

[@mattlingo6884]

Love getting out when you have the river to yourself.

[@barnhouseimprovements8505]

cold weather brings out the best of the best

[@bizmuth13]

Thanks for sharing your talents with the world. You are able to capture what makes fly fishing so amazing.

[@jasonmarshall3234]

Nothing but artistry. Thanks for putting these out for us to enjoy.

[@ryanwong5654]

Love winter fishing for the solitude. Just your cold breathe and the river to yourself!

[@jacksonmccormick8867]

Love it! Something more rewarding abt catching big fish in the winter because of the difficulty. The lack of pressure and isolation are arguably the best part!

[@austingrondahl7518]

Stunning !

[@billurban7197]

Nothing gets rid of cabin fever quicker than a little winter time fishing. Even though it's cold it's one of my favorite times of the year. Great job on the video as usual

[@ccleverly]

Winter fishing and braving the cold is worth it for many reasons but the lack of other fisherman is by far number 1!

[@3bateman]

The shots of fish eating, insects hatching are impressive

[@tannershelton4972]

Winter fishing can be the best. Less crowds. More fish. Beautiful vid 🙌🏼

[@matthewgermino1458]

Absolutely love getting to escape in these videos for a few minutes!

[@chaseonthefly]

Tiny Midges are great because they’re easy to tie and they just work! Great stuff.

[@kenhanna5940]

Amazing footage of winter fishing with the big payoff of beautiful trout.

[@jeremybarker3487]

yes! cold hands and solid fish!! sometimes i think the rivers are more beautiful in the winter!! The solitude in the winter is the best! a few friends and some tight lines!

[@randymatson5710]

Man look at the colors on that city. Absolutely beautiful film. If I had places like that to fish where I live I'd quit my job.

[@801troutbum]

Absolutely beautiful film! You just gotta love all seasons of fly fishing! 👏👏

[@Fillup131]

Totally agree that the solitude of winter fishing is nice. Can't wait for the next one to drop!

[@partyboy88420]

Winter fishing can be some of the best!

[@davidsylvester8219]

I love to challenge all 4 seasons from midges to dries and mousing at night for those hungry beasts. Watching a fish rise or that hard strike I will always be impressed. Being outdoors is so relaxing

[@finsfletchings8995]

Incredible! Some good techniques learned just watching this video. Winter does show up out of nowhere. Glad it’s thawing now!

[@GilbertRowley]

Very kind, glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelobrien93]

I gotta say, winter is probably my favorite these days. The fish are stacked up, bigger fish seem more willing, and VERY few people. Just put in the hours and a person will be rewarded. 🤙🏻

[@mandybrooks7846]

All of you videos are just absolutely beautiful to watch and easy to understand!!! Thank you for taking the time to put out your beautiful work and please don't stop!!! 💙🐟💙🐟💙

[@spencerspader9632]

It amazes me that you get so many great pictures of the flies and their cycle 👍

[@ianmaciver5628]

Love it!! Summer is right around the corner…

[@biznics]

Winter fly fishing will always be a love hate relationship for me. Hate the cold, love the big fish.

[@krisgough106]

Winter is my favorite time to fish! Great film!!

[@chadutley99]

I loved winter fishing a lot more when I was younger. Great footage.

[@thomasoconnor5407]

While we all enjoy warm weather fly fishing, there is nothing quite like standing in a river in the middle of winter. Great video!

[@jedstanden7704]

What fun! Some beautiful fish in beautiful country! Keep it coming!

[@thomasgreen6258]

Yahooooo thanks for awesome stoke!!! These movies are great motivation and so beautiful.

[@user-qc5xm2kt7r]

Great vid, I love when people refer Spring-Fall as fishing season. Gotta love winter when less people are on the streams!

[@justinkeyes7793]

Impressive, as usual. Never cease to amaze. Winter fishing has turned out to be some my best outings!

[@derekkohler]

Winter fly fishing holds a special place in my fly fishing heart. There is nothing like casting flies when the snow is flying!!!

[@bennettkilleen9136]

It just kept getting better and better. Inspired. Huge winter fishing fan myself.

[@Brendan_Ortiz]

Winter can be fun, and challenging. Great video!

[@jacobethridge9365]

Awesome stuff, love to see people getting out in the winter

Beautiful scenery and fish!!

[@flyingleapfilms]

Uh-may-zing! great visuals. the close-ups of the bugs are awesome

[@sjkelly4758]

I’ve always liked the winter fishing better, not as much competition.

[@parkergasser4721]

Winter fishing is definitely a grind, but it always seems to be when the big boys come out and play!

[@brodysmith4756]

LOVE the slow motion shots of the fish! As well as the shot of the fly box, but everything looks great!

[@dylanphillipson9219]

The inspiration I needed to get out and brave the elements!

[@GinClear]

Summertime, and the living is easy. Another great video, Gilbert!!🙏👊

[@shawnwyman291]

Another great video with some stunning shots. I love winter fishing and how quiet it can be on the river.

[@stuarttaylor3831]

Winter coming soon to South Africa and can't wait to get onto the water this winter and tackle the challenge that winter fishing is.

[@davecard9807]

Beautiful once again

[@connergrooms7775]

Gotta love a good midge hatch, crazy good footage!

[@quinngrist8102]

Sweet video, winter fishing can be so much fun!

[@maricashmere]

The chug is the drug! Craving some river time after watching this video! Great content!

[@patrickeng4472]

This is the year I get back into flyfishing and become committed to catching fish remotely close to the size of these fish🙏

[@shelbysawyer1359]

I love fishing in the winter! Less people and the fish are still plenty active. :)

[@tylernelson7299]

That Brownie was a beast! Beautiful!

Awesome video once again. Great BEATS 🎵 great BUGS 🦟 and great BITES 🎣

[@KBosch-xp2ut]

I’ve had terrible fishing this winter…. But I still just love being out there.

[@GilbertRowley]

We all have tough days, but the more we keep getting out, the better our odds of having a really great day!

[@KiranCarcary]

Super well done!

[@schuylerbrinks4223]

Absolute stunner! Such a well-put-together video, with great storytelling. Keep up the great work!

[@offthecrossfilmsstevesidda796]

[@GilbertRowley]

Sweet! So glad to hear you enjoyed them!

[@owencowan4300]

I love your videos they are the high light my of week

[@aliciaberze-butts958]

Early season hungry fish are the best, you landed some real dandies!

[@chuckbayliss8650]

I actually prefer winter fishing. More challenging and more solitude!

[@leecamblin1536]

Get a decent day head to the river never disappoints. Once again killed it!

[@williamharris9502]

Very cool video. I love seeing footage of rising trout, nothing more exciting than seeing a big brown start moving in the right direction. Great job, makes me want to head west and find a stream!

[@benettschram8570]

Was looking for a good new fly fishing channel to watch and I believe this will do!!

[@jeremydulac5920]

Your bug footage is next level. BBC Planet Earth caliber 🤌🤌

[@Sarah-nq3cf]

Love it!

[@BigDoeJ424]

I'll take bumping a little ice out of the guides and nobody on the river any day! Great video

[@MrPanther2012]

Great angling

[@ryanperkins432]

Another amazing episode! Great job!

[@jasonuitdenbogaard2027]

Love winter fishing. Nice footage as always!

[@jaynesjunction]

Stellar content!!! Gilbert and team, fantastic visualization carefully balanced with right amount of commentary. Had an amazing winter midge trip a few weeks ago. Still amazes me that a size 20 midge will get trout to actively move in freezing cold water.
