The Great Shaku Hunter || Fly Fishing Japan 2018

[@FacelessFishing]

I always struggle to find the words to explain the feeling I get from fly fishing. I have seen a million photos, watched thousands of hours of video and read hundreds of articles. No one comes close to explaining it. But you somehow in the telling of your stories you capture that feeling. Hats off to you Mr Nylinder you are a brilliant artist.

[@chrisbajema8002]

Faceless Fly Fishing amen on that one. We are blessed to have this kind of spokesperson for such a difficult job to do it any justice!! Spot on! Rolf rules... oh yah and Marcus

[@Devrominums]

Beautiful. All of Rolf’s videos make me jealous but somehow satisfy my soul at the same time.

[@WildFishStories]

Pure calmness floats out of this movie. Japanese perfection. Love the music, framing, and narration.

[@davidwoodard4898]

Your work is wonderfully artistic, truthful, and detailed. Please don’t ever stop, there is nothing as unique as your style of storytelling. It is art depicting art.

[@RolfNylinder]

Thank you David!

[@MF-CLIMB]

Why on earth would anyone down thumb this absolutely beautiful bit of film? I’m not even that interested in fishing myself but I found myself captivated by this. Japan truly is the most travel-able place on earth.

[@zeph6439]

A really nice video. Thanks - it's good to see some native fishes in the world thriving in the same waters they have lived in since time immemorial.

[@TCG330]

Thank you for creating something so beautiful, for 20 minutes, I completely forgot the world around me

[@Tren_is_okay]

I get chills watching every single video… you’re such a inspiration to keep working harder to become a better film creator. Thank you so much.

[@diderichlangmannen]

Again ... great story, perfect camera work! A real pleasure to watch and to listen.

[@ryanashby2459]

What a beautiful piece. A perfect 20 minute escape.

[@PlatypusPGM]

i stumbled upon your channel by accident, and i find the quote at 6:15 "Fly fishing is supposed to be beautiful sport, so act accordingly. Even if you dont see the fish, the fish might see you..." strangely beautiful...

[@yorckpercy]

Seriously. Why would anybody dislike this beautifully crafted piece of audiovisual art. That said, if you are into fly fishing for trophy fish only, you’re missing the point. The biggest mistake made about (fly-)fishing is that it is about catching fish. Keep up the good work, Rolf. I knew that the GH5 would skyrocket your work. Greatly appreciated.

[@PutteKj]

Tack Rolf. Dina berättelser är underbara. Du sa att du hade svårt att få avslut på dina projekt i en annan film och det förstår jag. Denna film känns som du ängat minst ett år på att producera.

[@MatteoMoretti]

You're an extremely talented story teller, thanks for being someone I can look up to and strive towards! Amazing job as always!

[@anthonycolbourne4206]

Wow, what a wonderful fishing story! So much respect everywhere in Japan for everything around them.

[@danielbergman8980]

Återigen säger jag att det är helt magiskt. Fotot, MUSIKEN, självklart den fantastiska historien. Tack för den!

[@jonnygranville281]

I love your films. Beautiful.

[@fabriziomapelli9007]

Simply one of the best film about fly fishing i've ever seen .... Great job, thanks from italy

[@Fredrie]

Wow, so interesting that last fish hooked itself on the line before the strike. Never seen that before in fly fishing. And thanks for all your amazing films.

[@niklasdahl500]

This is to good to be on KZbin to be honest. You deserve at least 2 more zeros after the views number. This isn´t just about flyfishing, it´s so much more. I had to tell my wife to be quiet while i was watching this one. No urge to look on my Iphone or anything that usually happens while watch fishing on KZbin. I am not an art guy, but this is art that i understand. Brutalt bra Rolf!

[@rafakru5815]

A beautiful simple ballad at the end. We are cool guys.one love!

[@MountainMan_NZ]

This was simply the best fly fishing story telling I've watched on KZbin. I would love to see you fly fish for rainbow and brown trout in New Zealand one day, I think you would have an amazing time filming breathtaking scenery and fish! Cheers for sharing

[@flybito]

Nice movie! This film sure represents the typical days of fly fishing in Tohoku, Japan. The music is perfectly matching to it. Great job, and come back to Japan again!

[@simonsmith3867]

Utterly beautiful film, fishing and location. Thank you!!

[@95alehouse]

Jesus dude, everytime I think this is my favorite you make a film like this. Your an artist bro. Thank you for this.

[@tomrivera8480]

I love the calmness of your videos. Fantastic camera work, great stories, this stuff makes me feel like I do when I'm on the water! The song at the end is also really cool, you're a real artist man!

[@SaskLongbow]

Amazing work -your passion shines through. A breath of fresh air in a toxic world.

[@josephine6602]

I have watched most of your films and it's very easy to see that you are an immensely talented story teller. Bravo.

[@neozodd2none450]

Please make more of this wonderful art !!

[@markhoffman9655]

I keep coming back to watch this - it is simply a brilliant fishing story!

[@David-Eng]

This video is absolutely moving. Exquisite cinematics, construction, and of course fish.

[@jakemartinski]

Amazing price of work on this movie. Absolutely beautiful

[@martinlawrence8427]

Thanks Rolf...a brilliant film!

[@ryanlitus7027]

I'm watching history in the making. Frontside Fly fly videos to this. Awesome work!

[@grantrants3728]

Rolf you are the man. You’re gonna have a huge audience soon enough

[@florianjacobi4973]

Beautiful...thank you so much for this rare piece of fishing poetry!

[@AnglerpilotNorway]

A beautiful creation Rolf that encapsulates the true magic of Japan and these uniquely beautiful fish. Of all of the destinations, fish I can visit or have visited, these fish and the destination is at the top of my fishing bucket list. You've captured it, in my eyes, perfectly.

[@sampoultney7373]

Get again, a standing ovation from me. Ultra level kudos, can't wait for the next video

[@graemewilson8423]

I've seen all your films and this is the best one yet. Keep making them and I'll keep watching them.

[@humphlc4]

Ralph again you have excelled with your innovative and creative production. A pleasure to watch the moods from Over crowded cities, the peace and tranquility intertwined with beauty with a hint of humour ;)

[@wndsrfross]

Beautiful video, well done as usual! Loved your song at the end, perfect fit. Your song writing improves with every video. Congrats Rolph!

[@trevorgreen2370]

Thanks for sharing. This film ticked all my boxes.

[@georgecleveland6243]

Your film making skills have gone from beyond good to beyond impressive. Great film.

[@BothanSpy007]

9:32 is such a beautiful shot. One of many in this film.

[@emilienlerochais]

I'm not (yet) a fly fisher but i really appreciate! You're a really talented movie maker et storyteller! Amazing work!

[@RolfNylinder]

Thank you Emilien!

[@mtoscott]

All I can say is bravo...I can’t put in words how this made me feel...

[@mantismamba]

Such great and rich story telling.

[@jukkapeltola5076]

How talented can a man be.. what a story and how it`s been told. Music and song.. everything. It really blew my mind.Best stuff in KZbin..i agree with mr Jacobson.

[@carlossalamancafontan3131]

exciting Film! I really like the way you edit, you connect a lot with the viewer !! congratulations on the film

[@user-flymam33]

I think that it is a good introduction to fly fishing that developed uniquely in Japan. I look forward to seeing you in the future. Please do your best. From Japan's Fly Fisher.(^^)

[@nathanielwren8690]

Great video. I cant wait to get back into fly fishing this spring.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Very nice , beautiful scenery great camera work . Reminds me of small creek fishing in Wyoming. :-)

[@georgegarcia2575]

So glad I stumbled across your channel. Thee best video editing I have ever seen in my opinion. I’ve been looking into some college courses on video editing and this just gives me so much inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

[@WesternPaFlyFisher]

Should have thrown a streamer, lol. From America with admiration, cheers.

[@doubletaper1453]

Magnificent, so much to love about this Rolf.

[@johnshand6176]

Pure pleasure and greatly empathetic film. Well done.

[@lukas7672]

Rolf sluta aldrig, man blir alltid lika glad när det dyker upp en video i feeden. Alltid lika underbart!

[@andreaarcara3250]

Meravigliosa storia! Hai filmato il viaggio dei (mie) sogni. Grazie

[@markjacobson8461]

The best fly video on you tube. Please keep making videos mate you’re the don

[@Nickjhuisintveld]

Please keep making videos, it's great to watch.

[@buckshot2280]

How this channel doesn't have more subs is mind boggling Well done man 👍

[@nraiv261]

Dina videos fångar verkligen känslan av att flugfiska så bra! Känner lugnet in i själen

[@rkkeranen]

Very well done. I love how your storytelling style of cinematography has developed. The Shaku Song made me smile. Especially the last verse! Cheers buddy!

[@HuntnAllTheWay]

Unreal. Nothing but originality from you my man. Keep it up

[@AnonymousOtters]

Hey, now. There are plenty of dry-fly purists in America, as well as lots of us Japanese wannabe Tenkara addicts. I would have thrown a Sakasa Kebari for the spirit of it. Fantastic cinematography, it was a treat to watch! Good luck next time!

[@stasmaksimov9531]

this movie so sophisticated and filosofical. I was realy enjoing! many thanks! 🤝 you are “Fillini” of fly fishing movies!

[@WSFScotland]

As with all your films it is a beautiful story told so well. Awesome stuff!!!

[@PetervanderPlaat]

Thank you for this wonderful video of my favorite country.

[@alanpdag]

Surely this is as good as it gets...

[@cymbolic_space1832]

taking a bath, back to work this morning. like every morning. but each day, one day closer to the opening of streams. i have finished my coffee now. and enjoying a song not unlike some of the best tracks on Bruce Springsteens Nebraska but about a japanese fish. thank you for films that make the winter a little easier to get through. i will make sure to cast a dry fly with your name on it before the run off gets to high. god bless. j.

[@nachoval10]

This is amazing work Man. I've heard about your videos and everything was true. Congrats from Ushuaia

[@theangler93]

Lots of love went into this one! Great stuff :)

[@muppsson]

Helt fantastiskt, superbra som vanligt Rolf!

[@Willow-stories]

Let’s go fishing in Mongolia together 😎amazing short story once again,

[@PatrickKremerMathias]

Love your videos man. Keep it up!! You’ve really turned me on to jazz music as well!! Jazz and Fly fishing is amazing

[@uncutfishing]

The most immersive one yet! Such a positive vibe :) Anyways, three practical (kinda) takeways: 1. If I ever go fishing there (which I won't ;)), the landing net is not required - there will probably be one stuck somewhere in the higher grass or on the bush branches, judging by how they all carry theirs without safety. 2. Japanese creeks are as crowded as their cities. 10 (?) guys on the same stream! 3. Just look at this global air conditioner company light board (or whatever) at 02:09... They really like this seemingly childish, cutesy symbolism much more than I realised. Cool.

[@robertlouis24]

True artistic brilliance - thanks for sharing 🙏

[@MrXavier1207]

amazing job thank you a lot for all your videos you are the best to transfer all the emotion

[@Lesmordusdelatruite]

So inspiring, congratulations Rolf such a beautiful film 👊🏼 ! So refreshing to see this kind of quality on KZbin damn. Greetings from France 😉

[@InspirationFischen]

So sick! What a cool way to cut a film, touch of Quentin T! Well done!

[@bobscousinbob7702]

Next level Rolf, thank you for the beauty and inspiration.

[@usuallyunusual_uu]

Nothing better than getting into fly fishing and discovering your work simultaneously Rolf. Where else can I listen to the Shaku song at the end of the film? Need to add it to a playlist. :)

[@RolfNylinder]

Thanks! It's on spotify "Shaku Waltz"

[@ryanstewart3470]

Nothing compares to upper rivers and the work it takes to catch anything. Those little trout are invisible

[@thomasdehart4050]

Rolf Nylinder I have discovered your wonderful, artistic, films and I can honestly say nobody presents fly fishing with the grace and honesty that you do. One question, what type of camera do you use? Thanks for the great work!

[@RolfNylinder]

Thank you Thomas, I have Panasonic gh5.

[@joge1342]

great and thanks for this beautiful movie
