Testing the GoPro 12 while Fly Fishing for Trout

Check out my blog at irwellfishing.blogspot.co.uk
Started Fly Fishing in April 2015 and began dealing with pollution and blockages soon after

Did you notice all the dead Japanese Knotweed above the road bridge, that was treated by Fisherman volunteers last year. We also have eradicated Giant Hogweed, you must have been pleased about that. The only stream on the Irwell catchment that does not have any, as far as I know.

Great stuff. That little river seems packed with fish.

It is I caught a lot more but I didn’t realise the GoPro eats battery so quickly on 5.3k 60fps

Nice video mate! Irwell Manchester?

[@irwellfishing]

This isn’t the Irwell but is a somewhat tributary of a tributary of it

[@fishing-fiend]

great quality picture from your new camera... does it have voice activation on it ?? gopro on ,,, gopro off ...?

[@irwellfishing]

It has an option called hindsight where it records constantly but when you press record (the beep noise) it deletes everything prior to it bar the 15 (or 30 seconds) so it saves you having to cut loads of ‘nothing’ which you get when fishing

Nice video! You used resolution at 5.3k or 4k also at what fps? Thanks!

[@irwellfishing]

I used 5.3k at 60fps

[@DanutBaitCasting]

@@irwellfishing What about the hypersmooth setting?

[@irwellfishing]

@@DanutBaitCasting I didn’t put them on but there does seem to be some smoothing when watching it back so I will check settings

Question : Do you need a membership / day ticket for the Irwell?

[@irwellfishing]

In some places yes, river license obviously but there are sections not under a club and some that are so just check before you go

[@ChopsMcgee_]

@@irwellfishingmay seem daft - but how do you check / buy a permit? I have a license, fish the Ribble often but fancy somewhere more local at times…
