THE LAST DAY | A Fly Fishing Documentary

[@colmogaora6055]

"You don't feel alive unless you feel stuff" a simple powerful truth. Extraordinary man and film.

[@joshhardwick]

Such a good word! Thank you brother!

[@elfeo1248]

That is 1000percent the truth❤

[@magacs5720]

such an inspiring man, im 20 years old and will remember his words.

[@joshhardwick]

Thanks for watching! Incredible words to live by

[@jpallen719]

@@joshhardwick I lost my grandfather, my own father and father-in-law, all the patriarchs in my life my grandfather taught me how to fly fish on the Smith river in Montana that really connected with his little piece. We really do have to take time to appreciate the little things. Thank you so much for your work on this video. 😢😢

[@playhouseinthewoods6103]

You know how sometimes things come into your life that strike a chord. Well this video is one of those things. I’m 72 and retired and just going through the motions not high or low just pretty much a flat line. I say I love fly fishing ,tying flys and camping but it has been to much effort to do them. I haven’t appreciated what I have and where I live. I have a place in the woods and live in north Idaho beautiful country and great trout streams within 30 minutes if I want blue ribbon streams or rivers it’s an hour. This video has caused me to stop and think what am I doing. I have made a shift in how I’m going to do things from now on. Thank you so much for putting this on KZbin.

[@joshhardwick]

My friend, I love these kind of comments, means the world to me! I am glad this film could inspire and encourage you!

[@davidgoulden3543]

I could,nt have put it better although I did try keep busy

[@MadGunny]

I’m from north Idaho too. It’s great, but sadly becoming way too overrun with Californians

[@perryjon1]

Sir, I'm an up and coming documentary filmmaker, trying to work my way into making videos like this. I was a wildland firefighter for over a decade. My background is that I love everything wilderness. My youtube channel supports everything I just said. I've made a handful of videos through the years supporting that sort of stuff. I think I've figured out what I want to do with the rest of my life, finally. I want to make mini-documentaries on things like fly fishing. Things that are a hidden art. Would you be interested in collaborating with me on this? Is this maybe something I could work with you on and maybe work towards filming a 15-20 minute mini documentary? I'd love to know your story.

[@WadeTheWild]

"I'm 73 and I think motion, activity, is the lubricant of life." I'm not sure I've ever heard more profound words in a single sentence. This is just a fantastic short documentary. I could watch this man for hours on end.

[@joshhardwick]

Thank you for giving it a watch!when he said that I was like, wow, what a great perspective!

[@crestonlaager3216]

I'm 56. In my life I've had cancer, several strokes, a few heart attacks, and almost eight years ago, a heart transplant. Like yourself, I never stop. Like Burgess Meredith said in Grumpy Old Men, "Life's about the experiences." Or, like Tim McGraw wrote in that song dedicated to his dad, "Live like you're dying." Also, like yourself, I think of all the things worth knowing, discovering, and I for one, want leave this place with my cup overflowing. I'm an attorney, but if a person asked me what would be my epitaph, I should hope it should at least include something about salmon, trout, campfires and pointers.

[@cobyporschifer221]

10/7/2024 I'm currently in a Rehab/Nursing home in Asheville, NC. Learning how to walk again after an accident wear my leg was going to be amputated. Little did I know 5 months later after accident. Asheville would be hit with Hurricane Helena. 5 days with no cellphone and no power is like putting you in solitary confinement. gives you time too reflect .100's of people dying all around. The Government and Fema not coming to help. You can't help think about your own immortality. Looking back at what was the best day of my life. And for me it was going fishing for the first time with my grandfather on a brook in Vermont and catching a small Rainbow trout. I became very clear that living in the Appalachian mountains of western North Carolina. Wear there is some of the best world class trout fishing in America. That all I wanted to do is Fly fish. Be out in nature one more time. This Documentary expresses that feeling perfectly. It has given me hope. 🍀

[@tygeray]

"Man, you gotta feel alive... you gotta feel stuff." So true. Thank you for sharing this story.

[@joshhardwick]

absolutely! Thanks for watching!

[@mattstewart2750]

As an educator and part time fly fishing guide in the summer, I couldn't agree more with Mr. Mazzarella's outlook on life. Great videography and catching what matters on film!

[@joshhardwick]

Preciate it brother! Thank you so much for watching!

[@feeshingman]

Very inspiring! I am 44, fly fishing has helped encourage me to live a clean lifestyle so I can enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you for the wonderful video!

[@joshhardwick]

So glad you found it inspiring, thanks for supporting!

[@StreamCasters]

Dayle really summed it up when he said that when he is not on the water he feels he should be on the water and when he is on the water he wants to stay on the water…. This is a beautiful film!!

[@stevenbuckley554]

What a wonderful man, great wee film, and probably the the most important lesson you have ever given, I hope everyone listened to your class today. Take care 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@moserific]

My dad's in there. How awesome :) Dayle is a legend in my family's household.

[@joshhardwick]

Josh this is one of the best fly fishing films I’ve seen in a long time man. What a story, what a main character, incredible cinematography, great audio…absolute banger of a film man. Never wanted to fish with a guide so bad in my life!

[@joshhardwick]

Man thank you so much for the compliment! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@bunsgg3989]

This is an amazing short film! I randomly stumbled upon this video and it was like I was seeing a ghost when I seen Dayle. Ive fished this same area and met Dayle once when I was walking back to my truck and had no idea he had such a fascinating life. He picked me and my friend up and dropped us off at my car. I remember thinking wow that was nice of him because we had a couple mile walk back. Unfortunately all we had time for was your every day banter about fishing. Thanks for giving more insight on his life. Maybe one of these days ill book a day of fishing with him.

[@joshhardwick]

Thanks for watching! That's so cool that you've met him, he's an incredible dude. I'm sure he would love to hit the water with you!

[@HookAndAnvil]

This was amazing, thank you for sharing this.

[@AkFlyFishersmembers]

I couldn't wait to retire...no more boss, no more have to be at meetings, no more reports. 2 years into retirement I was bored, I was chairman of the bored so I got a job, A low pressure job as a photographer for construction lenders. I got a border collie puppy that's a blast to spend time with. Staying busy is the key to happy retirement.

[@joaquinarias1517]
