Fly Fishing Chile's RIVER OF DREAMS - the FULL FILM - Fly Fishing Brown Trout - Magic Waters Lodge

[@chavety]

So joyful and Mil's giggles have to make smile! Thank You!!!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Just a wonderful place in the world. They were focused on plying the few big fish, we were loving the fun fish we could sight, the scenery, the birds 😍❤️🤩

[@patricknoveski6409]

The colors of those browns is crazy. Patterns amazing.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Absolutely true! Gorgeous browns :)

[@sergtang5593]

I don’t get enough of this…you make me dreaming . Thanks

[@jensenflyfishing]

Perfect! Love the Blanco Valley experience 😊

[@sorenolson49]

As an avid fly fisherman and a guy who watches too much fishing on youtube I really appreciate how quick you get the fish back into the water. Keep up the good work!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Great to hear. Always thinking of the trout first is a big part of what we do.

[@paulbennett6804]

So jealous, title of the video is very appropriate, this certainly is a river of dreams, a dream fishing adventure. The scenery, wildlife and of course the fishing looks amazing. Kudos to your fishing skills dropping them flies exactly into your target (dinner plates) excellent fishing and I wouldn't have believed such size of fish would be roaming those small tributaries. The colours on them wild trout are awesome. Thanks for sharing your adventure, I really enjoyed watching.

[@jensenflyfishing]

It is truly one of those locations that is special, unique. The fishing can be a LOT better than we experienced tho, we arrived to HOT, calm, sunny weather and things just weren't on, so this is about the bottom end of the fishing, oddly enough :) We loved immersing into the landscape tho, and our focus was to enjoy the whole of the setting, the scenery, the birds. So beautiful. Hopefully it lasts - there is a LOT of development happening around the access to the property now.

[@NicolasGarcia-bq2so]

INCREDIBLE VIDEO, I JUST FOUND THIS CHANNEL AND IT HAS BECOME MY FAVORITE. I AM ARGENTINE AND A FISHERMAN, WHEN YOU WANT TO COME THIS SIDE WE ORGANIZE A TRIP, THERE ARE GREAT PLACES AND VERY HUNTING FISH

[@jensenflyfishing]

when we return to Patagonia it will be the Argentinian side once again. We loved our time there in 2019 and hope to get on a road tour for ourselves in 2024 or 2025 :)

[@NicolasGarcia-bq2so]

@@jensenflyfishing For that date the fishing in the Paraná river is going to be incredible. have it as an option. Golden dorados, pacu, surubi, pira pita, many hunting species

[@NicolasGarcia-bq2so]

yes the river of dreams unbelivable i agree love fly fisching thats the place i wanna go.......

[@jensenflyfishing]

Hopefully some day that comes to fruition for you!

[@hillbillyfranks]

This was one of the most beautiful Scenery and fishing show I've ever see The land the drone I just loved it It's incredible to see something like that I could watch More and more Stay safe at my friend and we'll catch you another one

[@jensenflyfishing]

We're glad this meant so much to you. A lot of effort went into the creation if it. Thanks for watching.

[@littlesilver2205]

Beautiful shots great camera work ,some of those takes are epic , with the sun out you can see them engulf the fly great job a trip to remember for sure .🎣🐟

[@jensenflyfishing]

We're glad you found value in what we created here:) The location of this place is incredible and offered so much beauty for us to film.

[@stephenbrody2717]

Great video. Editing is amazing. It has given us a spiritual connection to River not just the fishing. Well done. I was able to leave my life for a moment and be somewhere else. Dad died and he gave my brother and I the gift of fishing and a love for the outdoors. Felt close to him watching this. Thank you for all of the hard work that went into editing it

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed this one... connected to it. That's great to hear 😊 We all need our mental and spiritual escapes and experiences. This was a tremendously wonderful experience that we're happy to have represented in our videos 😊

[@mattkelly2250]

Gorgeous fish and beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing yall. RIP Monte

[@jensenflyfishing]

A great location to disappear to, especially in the right weather 😊 And definitely enjoyed Monte's company and appreciation of us spending a day chucao hunting, not many guides appreciate the value of that in life. He was one.

[@billhession3750]

Dave and Amelia, Been consuming your content for over 20 years and I think you guys are still at the top of your game. Maintaining this level of excellence over this period show what pros you are. Though I had seen some of this in shorter format, this is beautifully put together in longer form. Keep up the good work. I don’t know anything about the economics of what you do but do and also know it takes a tremendous amount of time to edit all this, therefore am reticent to make any suggestions. However, here goes . . . Keep your core videos unchanged but would love to see more about your amazing experience. Guide interviews about their lives and families. Cooking scene / interview with a little how to about an amazing authentic meal in camp e.g. asado by someone doing it their family way (always some of my favorite memories from my trips). You guys are just scratching the surface of “taking us along with you” on your adventures. There is only so much time in the day, but I am hoping for more and know I will be there to watch. I could see a full feature documentary in your future. Oh, and thank you for inspiring me to pursue some of my adventures and teaching me how to be ready when I get there!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Hi Bill. Thank you for watching our videos and taking the time to offer thoughtful feedback. Honestly it feels as though we are just now stepping into the maturity of where we're supposed to be. It takes an incredible amount of time to edit a video like this - about 8 x 16hr days after fishing a week. There is really very little in the fly fishing industry to support efforts like this financially and those opportunities most often require selling out to the financiers. We have a good relationship with Orvis that helps offset some of our costs but nothing comes close to an income, except for our viewers' support through our membership page at Patreon which is outlined at our www.jensenflyfishing.com website. We truly NEED the ongoing support of the fly fishing community in order to continue doing what we are doing, hence why we had to begin our Patreon 10 months back. All our efforts are viewer supported as KZbin income is low and fleetingly unpredictable. Our new series as launched on Saturday is "How We Do It" and dives into the full picture of immersion into sense of place/location while blending how we fly fish, how we film, what these moments mean to us. Tying in cultural aspects, guide relationships, etc will be a part of this as the support of our efforts expand to allow additional travel - again, travel to fish with a guide either requires a lodge or outfitter paying our travel/accommodation or we have to jump through the full process of working with Tourism boards in competition with various media companies for limited funding all the while producing pop-culture popular content based on the algorithms instead of where our passions lie in order to gain views & likes to substantiate Tourism $ as they look at carte-blanche #s rather than the quality of viewer. All the while that process is time consuming and takes away from doing and enjoying what we love - being on the water. It's all incredibly limiting and why we began Patreon - we hope that people understand that sharing as we do with the new series and the 60 to 90 minute durations and all the value inset are worth supporting. Thank you for the thoughtful reply. Dave & Amelia.

[@unclericker]

What an amazing journey you took me on this evening, just WOW !!!! It’s like I was there with you. Looking forward to the rest of your adventures this year.

[@jensenflyfishing]

That's perfect to hear and why we share! Amazing location & experience in the world! 😊🍻

[@fisherman5517]

what a lovely video ,im glad i watched it as it took me back to when i was younger and there was more trees fields and wildlife about ,but sadly that was in the past. many years ago.

[@jensenflyfishing]

A stunning location and one we hope continues as a throwback to how the planet was. But, sadly, the encroachment on that section of private reserve is coming quickly.

[@robertom6962]

Parece mentira que pueda existir tanta belleza. Ha sido un film impresionante, con lugares mágicos. Enhorabuena por la altísima calidad de las imágenes y la edición de estas. Feliz 2023 desde España. It seems unbelievable that there can be so much beauty. It has been an impressive film, with magical places. Congratulations on the very high quality of the images and the editing of these. Happy 2023 from Spain.

[@jensenflyfishing]

So glad to hear that you enjoyed this video. There was so much amazing footage, so much incredible country to immerse into. Happy new year and best for 2023! 😊

[@kenlloyd5195]

thanks for sharing guys there is not enough superlatives to describe the adventure

[@jensenflyfishing]

Isn't it incredible? It was honestly WAAY to much sensory overload to put into a video. Lodge owner wanted a snapshot video.... well... there's just too much value in experiences and locations like this one. 😊

[@acemichael3369]

Thanks! I really wish I could give more. I live in Michigan and my therapy is spending time on the trout streams and rivers north for the serene nature and of course the bonus beautiful and majestic trout if lucky. Your trip is on my bucket list and I can only hope to be so lucky as to fulfill it. Your video is so wonderfully done. Just perfect. This movie made my day. Oh, and helped make my weekend plans to drive north. ☺️ hopefully for a Steelhead! Cheers and so many thanks! Sincerely, Adrien Sharp

[@jensenflyfishing]

It always means something to us to know that a video really connects well with the odd person or two. Thanks for watching and sharing this.

[@gmckayak]

Such a beautiful place. First time I've seen the fisher wiggling the rod. I thought that was a Scottish thing. We will add movement in moving water sometimes. Really enjoyed this video tbh.. Videography and editing is top notch.

[@jensenflyfishing]

when you get in touch with what you can do with the rod, what it does to the leader and how that leader finesses flies "just so", that wiggle shines! :) Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. Dave

[@Umakemelaff]

Good lord that was a long video. Can you make more even longer, please? Lol. Fantastic. Really enjoy it all….camera person is THE BEST.

[@jensenflyfishing]

That was a collection of videos to be sure. The whole effort was an insane amount of content gathered from a magical location on the planet. Hopefully it never changes but development is coming and not too far away, so here's hoping...

[@rickdesj6555]

Amazing footage/fishing. Well done. 👏🍿

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@patricknoveski6409]

This place is out of your best dreams. Just insane.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Just gorgeous water and landscape - and to think it's all privately held to the mountain tops. Was good to be invited and so glad the videos from the trips have been so well-received. A gorgeous location :)

[@chavety]

You two are phenomenal! Excellent videographry too boot! Much Luv from PA! TIGHT LINES!!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thanks for your appreciation and support. 🥰

[@ChangkongFishing]

So joyful and Mil's giggles have to make smile! Thank You!!! 😍😍😍

[@jensenflyfishing]

:) this was a great experience - such a wonderful location to catch so many browns despite how few medium to bigger fish showed :)

[@woodfordmooers1777]

I was there with my son the first to second week of November. The spring creek was 20-30 feet across. I swear we caught the same fish!

[@woodfordmooers1777]

BTW the pack horse ride over the Andes was crazy 😵‍💫

[@jensenflyfishing]

We probably did in the exact same little pockets and buckets. Those fish have to be long lived and recaptures highly likely 😊

[@kathleen.muste.no.nonsense]

love you guys,, thank you

[@jensenflyfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it - a great life experience 😊

[@robertharvill8120]

This hands down some of if not the best footage I have ever seen. Then how captured the trout. Truly work of art. The lighting angles. Beautifully done. This something I wish I could learn . Whomever fliming an artist 🎨

[@jensenflyfishing]

:) Thank you - it is Amelia & myself (Dave) filming through this amazing trip. It's an incredible location with great fishing for mostly gorgeous browns. The hard part was deciding what footage to cut from 100hrs of filming! :)

[@jozeftrnka4073]

huge memories for the season just end. Thanks for nice pictures and videos which open my mind for next season (coming soon on NZ)

Pretty soon it will be the end of March and I'll be on my way back. To Coyhaique, to Baker, to the lodge. I wish I had been able to join you this year. But stuff happens. Life gets in the way. I even miss the horseback ride!

[@jensenflyfishing]

That horseback ride! Hola man... you did well! You will love the new lodge. It's a ways from completion and we missed out but we're able to walk through its shell and the views from the dining/lounge area are world class. You'll love your trip for sure. 🙃🥰

Que Ken Burns... It was 1863 Mary Chestnut flew her drone over the Union troops. " The northern devil followed us through out our campaign but we persisted" More dramatic music!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Always love reading how differently 8B people see things 😊🍻

[@mikemcdonald5147]

so much amazing drone footage what were you carrying 1000 batteries LOL :) What kind of drone? amazing!!!!!!

[@jensenflyfishing]

There was a lot for sure. 6x batteries a day @ about 28min each on the Mavic Air 2 on that one (it flew away this year tho).

[@briljantje9583]

Amazing

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@OnTheGoldNZ]

Looks alot like NZ! Reminds me of a big southwestland River

[@jensenflyfishing]

Doesn't it? Exactly that one. Except the NZ one has by far the superior fishing engagement and trout :)

Amelia on the swing is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!

Fantastic location! I see why you need to horse pack in.

Amazing really, isn't it? 😊

Great adventure, amazing scenery. Terrific! What is the music in the beginning from...seems very familiar.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Sorry, we edited this so long ago it isn't present in our minds. It is very familiar isn't it? Very cinematic piece, that. :)

[@Jorge15282]

Ese es mi país amigos americanos o del país anglo parlante que sean, por favor cuídenlo, yo soy de ahí, nacido y criado en mi amada patagonia, cuando vallan respeten a los lugareños, ellos son los descendientes de los colonos que llegaron primero a hacer patria a esos hermosos e indómitos lugares

[@jensenflyfishing]

Wonderfully so on a private reach of property along a wild, massive river. As a Canadian it was wonderful to visit, to enjoy immersion in different wilds :) We loved the scenery, the bird life, the nalca and beyond. Being a guest of a commercial operation to represent their business, it is sometimes difficult to get to know more of the people beyond the face of business and what they want you to see, who they want you to be and do. We absolutely loved our time with Monte, the work of Ande in constructing the location & facilities, the welcoming spirit of Tomi :)

[@NickAndCaroline]

That looks like a really scary trail for the horses. Are they okay? Coming from a guy who knows nothing about them!

[@jensenflyfishing]

We don't know much either but as far as we know they are. It's quite the trail and the horses definitely get a work out and have to find their footing.

[@sputnick66]

Beautiful! I've fished in the Coyhaique area for for 10 years, never gets tiring, always beautiful. Want to fish NZ but never been there. Any suggestions on region/contact? Cheers and Happy New Year!

[@jensenflyfishing]

Hiya - NZ is a different flavour vs Coyhaique... fewer fish and far bigger avg sizes. It's a biomass distribution - population dynamics thing. Check out nzfishing.com as well as heaps of info on Nz fish & game as well as the nz guide association website! 😊🍻

[@BROWLANDROSS]

Awesome as always - curious - did you use 6 weights on this trip? I saw they recommended 6/7 weights on the website. Curious if i could get by with my 5's

[@jensenflyfishing]

We used 5 wt's, but you need a rod that works well for you in wind. Being able to accurately hit the spots while moving along pretty quickly in a boat is important as you're often in big water that flows at quite a pace and they can only slow down those big cataracts down so much. Hope that helps!

[@BROWLANDROSS]

@@jensenflyfishing thank you! I didn’t want to spend more money on another rod Lol!!

[@CJ-pj2ml]

Excellent video! 🤩 What music score have you used for the intro?

You get one more misogynist comment before being blocked. Have a look at our IG & FB feed... 'she' would out fish you in a blink of an eye.

[@fisherman5517]

how much would a trip like this cost as i live in great briten uk.

[@jensenflyfishing]

The website is at this address www.riverofdreamsbasecamp.com/ be sure to go for the full experience as the fishing comes and goes with hot dry conditions or extremely wet - one is great and the other not. But the experience of the location is incredible 😊🍻

how can I book this adventure?thank you

[@jensenflyfishing]

Just Google river of dreams base camp, Chile, through magic waters Patagonia. 😊🍻

[@편견없는식욕]

[@jensenflyfishing]

a gorgeous location :)

[@EdReurink]

I gotta say, that trail looks very deteriorated. I mean awesome trip but I question how much longer they'll be able to travel along that route

[@jensenflyfishing]

Suspect the chopper replacement might save that. It's private property access so it'll be up to the owners... but yeah

[@rumenstanev7747]

😄

[@jensenflyfishing]

Gorgeous location 🥰

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

His hook set reaction time is 100 compared to her -3 lol 😂

Again, misogynist commentary. Consider who you are talking to.

[@cosmichappening1712]

Man, I feel sorry for the horses. I think Donkey's would have been more appropriate...

[@jensenflyfishing]

Us too. But, different country and as guests of the lodge there to share it all, all we can do is share what's there.

[@mg8718]

The horses are gonna wind up dead and broken legs.

[@jensenflyfishing]

Our thoughts too. Life's a little rougher in some areas.

[@mdriles36]

Damn Lady! You are a hell of an angler…. Wow. Sticking casts, mends on point… inspirational. 🫶

[@jensenflyfishing]

Thank you! This was a wonderful trip for the sense of location and immersion into what Chile was before development really hit. That valley certainly has a world to explore for birds & life, including poking about some great trout :)
