[@thomasoconnor5407]

I can’t imagine the time and patience it must take to produce such amazing content! Both educational and artistic! Captures the beauty of fly fishing.

[@thomasastley9229]

This is stunning, you manage to capture the art of Fly Fishing in a way many people have not seen to this quality. The Salmonfly is definitely a favourite to fish and creates the most exciting eats. Quality video as always!

[@mandybrooks7846]

The art of flyfishing is a beautiful thing to watch!!! It is so graceful, peaceful!!! Thank you for taking the time to make and share your experiences on the majestic rivers and breathtakingly beautiful backcountry and for explaining the best times to go , the best flys to try , and when the natural flys hatch is a great time to go as well !!! Thank you again for all of your time and work that goes into your absolutely beautiful videos and I hope you continue to share new experiences with all of us !!! I love watching them!!!❤️🐟❤️🐟❤️

[@TheFlyFishFilms]

The bug shots keep on getting better and better. The underwater bug shots are incredible! You guys are masters at capturing all the aspects of fly fishing.

[@markwrolstad1708]

Amazing cinematography and story telling in these “shorts” Buffet Series…man these vids make me wanna leave whatever I’m doing and hit the water!

[@spencerspader9632]

I love dry fly fishing with big flies it’s the coolest thing to see the takes!

[@ahybarger]

Instantly transports your mind to the river! Great job Gilbert Rowley and team! I freaking love this sport...

[@GilbertRowley]

Congrats, you are one of the winners of this week's giveaway! Shoot me an email at [e-mail] and we'll get you hooked up!

[@Browninglover1]

Another stunner. The amount of work it takes to create such a beautiful video that is only 3 minutes long has to be mind blowing. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

[@shanehawryliak7636]

Somehow you capture the vibe that we try to describe to our non flyfishing friends, but are never able to quite get across fully. Conveying it on film is something special. Thanks

[@jeffrosenlund5663]

I agree with the comment that this content shouldn’t cease. You and Kohler taught me how to tie. Always enjoy your stuff.

[@kyleburraston2980]

Amazing cinematography! Watching dry fly takes never gets old, but the time lapse metamorphosis from nymph to (what would you call it?) winged adult, and the under water shots of the nymphs!!! I had no idea the nymph had that many gills! You have some amazing skills Gilbert, I love your work!!!

[@joef1759]

They do look alien when hatching! It’s so cool! I love this hatch, and get so excited when it happens. Great footage with awesome detail!

[@douglasruecker6128]

My introduction to fly fishing was my buddy inviting me to the Salmonfly Hatch 6 years ago. I am still hooked and can't get enough. You captured the big bug experience. Thanks for sharing.

[@thetinycaster7137]

I love seeing the fishes viewpoint underwater! Great footage, Gilbert!

[@ryanwong5654]

Brings me back to Henry’s fork salmon fly hatch. I could fish that hatch everyday of my life. The fish takes are something everyone should experience!

[@sethhaney5846]

Cant get enough of this series! Thank you so much for these awesome adventures!

[@Fillup131]

The B roll of all the insects in your films is always top notch. I enjoy the high production quality you put into these.

[@Nickoplatipus]

So inspiring. Thanks for putting this beautiful footage together. I’ve shot videos of bug bugs floating by but never caught an eat like this - amazing.

[@flyfishscook]

The eats on a salmon fly are definitely out of this world. Having tried a few myself, I can understand why trout love them. Kinda nutty. The weirdest part is when they latch on to your tongue before you crunch them.

[@GilbertRowley]

Haha, that sounds intense! I can’t say I’ve ever tried them first hand 😁 Thanks for checking out our film!

[@zachaycock9985]

One of natures coolest phenomenas the Salmon Fly. I long to see my local canyon geeked with Salmon Flies each year. Some years are better than others, for the hatch. I hope this year’s hatch is prolific as this a key indicator of a healthy river. Tight lines!

[@jaynesjunction]

Stellar content - once again, thank you for letting the videos speak for themselves and not over talking. Great timing... looking forward to the salmon fly hatch.

[@davesimpson803]

Awesome work!! Awesome bugs and some amazing fish! Thanks for sharing your experiences on the water with such passion and attention to detail. These videos are done so well that they really give the feeling of being along for the trip!

[@scottjacobs8343]

Absolute video magic!! So fascinating to see the salmonfly in it's stages. Wonderful takes in slow motion really capture the fish aggression. Thank you for another great production!

[@jillswigart3820]

Stunning! And this is why I love fly fishing! Experienced a green drake hatch last year. Magical.

[@justinkeyes7793]

Fantastic. Another video with great shots, of the fish and insects! Some of the best days on the river when the “aliens pop”!

[@fishrmn703]

Man, the photography is just outstanding! Really appreciate your videos Gilbert!

[@TGust808]

Great work. Your macro bug shots are incredible. A bug lovers dream! Your videos are definitely unique. Nobody else has quite the same style or ideas. These stand out. 👍

[@Akuzen26]

Absolutely love nymphing, but top water eats are just too much fun to watch 🙌🏼 nothing quite like watching the rise to your fly!

[@lanenygren9055]

Awesome footage. Footage like this is worth an hour of reading and study on aquatic lifecycles. So enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@mwong000]

I have fished the salmon fly hatch many times. But I have seen seen the bugs in such intricate detail. And I have NEEVR seen the actual emergence as they go from pupa to adult. Being a nature freak, I think you guys killed it. Thanks!

[@tomhaynie1]

Never had the chance to fish a Salmonfly hatch, but it looks amazing. With a brief exposure to aquatic entomology in school, the Salmonfly looks amazing and it's exciting to show their transformation to my kids with this video. Thanks for the hard work in bringing such quality videos!

[@jordanweinzierl6070]

The art of what surrounds and the urge to make the quest to find a hatch like this. Thanks for the motivation.

[@hunterevans1211]

Such a cool video!! Love the underwater shots of the nymphs… SO UNIQUE!!!

[@GinClear]

This reminds me of the hex hatch we experience in the east. The only big difference is the massive chow line happens at night. Great video!!!🙏👊

[@clarkvanhoosier4831]

The videography of the nymph stage is prime! Nice work!

[@zachguillaume5256]

Reminds me of Henry’s Fork! I love this video. Hits close to home for sure. It always amazes me how you can capture the beauty of this sport in such short videos. Wish they were an hour long!😂

[@GilbertRowley]

Congrats, you are one of the winners of this week's giveaway! Shoot me an email at [e-mail] and we'll get you hooked up!

[@chrisc2402]

Have always appreciated the style in which you make these pieces. Keep up The good work!

[@patrickpetrillo3393]

The camera work on those rises never ceases to amaze

[@thenobletrout]

Not only a buffet for the fish, but a buffet for us as viewers! Excellent work as always!

[@halenafischer113]

You guys do amazing job at creating these videos. I enjoy watching them and learning something new all the time.

[@piebald80]

Great work Gilbert! Those macro shots are NUTS! So cool. Congrats!

[@mommaangler]

Those gills are CRAY-ZAY!!! Haven't been fortunate enough to catch a salmonfly hatch yet, but I look forward to it!

[@r_fullman6604]

Awesome video Gilbert ! You guys really have a talent for what you do! Thanks for sharing this film with us. My son loves watching your videos with me !

[@caseykendell8235]

This is great! I suddenly have the urge to start tying some sofa pillows!

[@lindajeffries7937]

Remarkable photography of an out-of-world angling experience ... salmonfly emergence! 🍁

[@24hrfloodresponse67]

Makes me want some of those “visual eats” for breakfast. Great shots. The underwater shots were great.

[@dannorvell]

Love what you guys are doing! So much knowledge and a great perspective. Keep killing it!

[@mikestudiner1169]

Wow! Amazing footage of a cool bug and some awesome eats. I need to experience the Salmonfly Hatch one of these days. Can’t believe I live in Montana and have never fished it.. this is a great series!

[@ryanwong4569]

The dry fly romance is always alive and well with the salmon fly hatch!!

[@801troutbum]

Oh man! Those bug close ups are unreal! Great content as usual!

[@kapenamika985]

Loved this one. The underwater scenes of these “aliens” was super helpful. No wonder my tied imitations just help me study the currents and eddies.

[@ybbobmurphy]

Another great video! Mesmerizing. I can watch these fish taking these flies all day.

[@michaeldube8185]

Super cool video. I’ve been following all of you for a long time. I’ve learned so much about fly fishing through your videos. Please continue , your work is great.

[@alexcaskey2548]

There’s nothing like fishing big bugs when they’re looking for them 👍🏼. Once again awesome video!

[@jakequinnan1037]

This is the kind of video that gets you geeked to get back out and fish!

[@richardmeeks5058]

A beautiful, artistic video. I have fished the salmon hatch on the Madison but, never action like this. Your videos continue to be the best I have seen. Thanks.

[@stevenlonning3630]

I like videos that close the loop between stalking and fly selection and presentation.

[@bradmahoney382]

Those are some crazy bugs! Great content, thanks for putting it out here for all of us. Definitely makes me want to go hit the river.

[@krevin14]

It must be a sight to see all those big bugs around and on the water getting devoured!

[@mitchellstreicher6606]

The salmonfly hatch here in MT is one of my favorites! Nothing like throwing giant drys!

[@cwreevescol3]

And yet another outstanding film. Only wish this hatch was in NC!!!!

[@billurban7197]

Amazing shots of those big bug eats. You really captured how we see it happening. Great job 👏

[@ethanvandehei929]

Absolutely amazing! Cant believe you found that solitude fishing salmonflies!

[@olliebassett105]

Thanks for the cool film Gilbert. Fishing the deschutes next month so hopefully will get some salmonfly action!

[@Roger_Pwns]

Another amazing film! I can’t imagine the time and effort you guys put in for a 3 minute video. Your hard work sure pays off!

[@loganbrewer5765]

This just got me so hyped for the salmon fly hatch back home, need to stock up on some of these flies😂

[@louiet6187]

Gotta get back out west to experience this again. Although I heard using salmon flies with a dry dropper does well out in these parts in PA. Awesome video

[@wernerhasenpusch9973]

Awesome photography. Haven't seen those critters in New Jersey! Although we do have small dark ones.

[@patricksmith7839]

You guys sell the whole seat but you keep us on the edge, awesome work

[@larrytullis241]

I wish the Provo River still had these big bugs. It's a real treat to fish such big dry flies!

[@anthonyweber4916]

This is a great video with some amazing footage! I love the salmon fly hatch on the South Fork of the Snake River. Nothing beats it!

[@SaraAnderson1980]

Brought me back to fishing the big salmonfly hatch on the Gunnison River! Big trout slashing at dries like that get your heart thumping for sure.

[@delmarmunro6607]

The take at 1:33 was so visceral, nice camera work

[@alaindemers5958]

As usual, a story telling from a unique perspective, one that reminds us how passionate fishing is. But your approach to the subject is a systematic immersion in natural history and its connection to the sport. Congratulations on the quality of your shots. I look forward to viewing the whole closely. It is as,axing.

[@jackkinsey3448]

Glad I found a modern fly fishing channel like this, similar to a hunting channel I found last year

[@ozarkseuro]

One of my favorites, I could not believe how big they were while fishing out west. Our Missouri ones are generally smaller. Great video.

[@johnscott3095]

One of the most beautiful nature and fly videos ever.

[@derikmackintosh1257]

Gilbert, your videography skills and creativity are amazing! Well done!

[@dylanmcbain4245]

Love your videos! Can’t wait for big bugs all summer long! Happy fishing!

[@cjpowers7540]

Your videos have helped me learn so much about fly fishing, these are the coolest clips I’ve ever seen!

[@israelzuniga1493]

Man this is just amazing here in Idaho it’s about that time for salmon flies thanks for sharing your experience!!

[@codyjohnson5719]

Modern water dragons minus the fire. Love seeing the hatch and the eats! Cheers!!!🍻

[@blairhohniii6720]

Sweetness.. hopefully one day ill drop some dries on that hatch.. thnx for sharing

[@abramwanner8600]

I experienced the salmonfly hatch briefly for the first time last year. It was amazing to see the size of those bugs!

[@mikerapeer4848]

Great video!!! I tied some up I think from your tying video even though they aren’t in my neck of the woods!! Love to get out there and have a go at the hatch

[@eugenemonty6469]

As usual a wonderful job capturing the total insect and some great eats. Actually it's my wife's favorite hatch on the Madison.

[@johnfreeborg]

Nice!! The nymph stage shots are great and educational.

[@dbolingb]

Great visuals! The few times I was able to fish the salmon fly hatch when I lived in the Logan area were awesome.

[@gregwasko5821]

Really educational, makes one feel like Don Knots in Mr. Limppet.. I'm glad your site popped up on my pc.. Thanks for your time ! Greg

[@claudiachavez9028]

Amazing video about the amazing salmon flies! Never gets old to see fish caught on salmon flies.

[@ethanbent8492]

Some of my favorite memories fishing are during salmon fly hatches, still one of my favorite times to fish. Well done!

[@turninflat]

So cool. Can't wait for the Salmon fly hatch on Henry's Fork...

[@kenhanna5940]

Amazing footage of the Salmon fly hatch and the big trout rising to get them. I am excited for the Salmon fly hatch here next month.

[@scottmorgan8573]

Super rad! I love watching fish food! Have a good season and tight lines!

[@Malakai5347]

This is simply brilliant! In the words of Arnold Gingrich , 'A trout is a moment of beauty, known only to the ones who seek it'.

[@joseeliasostolaza3050]

A River runs through it vibes 😍 I hope that I could fish in the middle of a hatch like this someday, you are so lucky

[@johnnygorden9762]

I love your videos! I live in Texas and have never had the opportunity to experience an salmonfly hatch. Hopefully someday I will get that chance! Keep the great videos comming!

[@davidmay8302]

Nice video! Really Looking forward to fishing some big foam dries out West this summer.

[@russellforester511]

Hoping this content doesn’t stop after the giveaway, you have me looking forward to these videos every week

[@3bateman]

I love fishing stoneflies/salmon flies, but I also love tying them. Great video as always
