The fact that he climbed down, set up the camera, climbed up, then recorded himself climb back down just shows the commitment. I love it lol!

Makes you realize all the effort it takes for Nick to make these great videos. He's got to be thinking while going down to set up the camera and climbing back up for the shot, "man I could be fishing already"! We appreciate you Nick!

Bruh lmao that’s what I’m saying

[@phil2470]

Nick, I believe I know where you are in this video and there is a commuter parking lot on the other side of the highway, on the service road. From there, you can stroll up and down that creek. You are in my area in this video. Lots of fish go over that spillway when the water is up. I agree with some other people's comments in that I really do look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work.

Risks his life climbing down a cliff, suffers from dehydration in 105 degree heat.....YES IT'S A COMMON CARP!!!!! LMAO, that's why we love this show. Awesome looking spot, and it shouldn't get over fished due to the access, surprised there weren't more big ones in there.

[@Mr.q895]

The spot is absolutely gorgeous! I would watch you fish this place again just for the scenery! Great video friend! Keep up the good work!

Electrolyte tablets(without sodium) made it possible for me to work in the heat and humidity of Arkansas. You might carry some in your tackle box. True lifesavers.

[@mannym2419]

Knowing your tendency to trip and fall I was pretty nervous seeing you climb down that cliff. Also stay safe out there these temps are no joke!

[@dakotahyounger1156]

That is such a cool little ecosystem. Large mouth bass, channel and bullhead catfish, sunfish, and carp. I wish I had somewhere like that near me. It something amazing about fishing a little creek/spillway and I would absolutely love for you to go back with some waders on and get to that other spot.

I live in the land of Lincoln , I’ve never seen nor did I know there was any streams that looked like that . Looks like a sweet place to spend a good day fishing

[@rfire731]

Just want to say thank you Nick! I can only imagine how hard it is to take all your fishing tackle, and camera gear, to make these awesome videos. I appreciate your effort, and I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work!

[@618Fishing]

Thanks I appreciate you watchin!

[@ringo_fishin]

There are nice flatheads in the inlet creek to that lake. Also there is some decent bass in that spillway. I've caught a 5lber there before. But it floods every year washing most fish downstream so it's different every year. And to get to the first hole there u have to climb up the cliff side in the corner then walk down and climb back down along the waterfall.

[@pointsnpoles9788]

That's incorrect and dangerous...much more safe to just cross through the water you'll get wet and possibly injured trying to climb down that waterfall

[@mattstewart5922]

That was one of the awesomeness spillways I’ve ever seen! I’m heading to Bagnel Dam at 2:00 am to fish my favorite spillway. It’s only 3 hours from home lol.

Me and the daughter had been going to public fishing spots, and that changed not long after seeing your videos. You've given us a real gift, and I hope to run into you one of these days.

When all else fails, a good ole rust bucket carp will do. I actually like fishing for them. One of the quickest ways to get a 20lb fish and have a good 10-15 minute fight on your hands.

Title says it all , that is an insane spillway for sure . Anytime you gotta scale a cliff , that's a real "Fishing Adventure" !!! This vid was a good one , loved it 👍👍

[@gccurry1]

When the heat gets to you, cool your feet and lower legs in the water. keeping them cool will stop you from over heating. Feet and ankles are particularly sensitive to heat, as they have lots of pulse points. So a clever way to give the body an instant cool down is by dipping your feet in cold water for a couple of minutes. I have fished knee deep in trout streams that come from bottom draw dams in 100 degree heat and never broke a sweat

[@jakewallace5591]

Absolutely, I work in the heat down here in Louisiana. But drinking cold water gives me stomach cramps in the summer, but I too have learned the wrist technique, I keep a bucket of ice water around and when I start feeling bad I just dunk my hands in up to mid forearm and it will literally send chills through your whole body instantly making you feel 20 degrees cooler!!!

[@Pashasmom1]

If that water is cool, get your head wet. It really is refreshing.

[@joesfishingadventures2713]

That spot is perfect for fly fishing

[@andy4811]

I was thinking the exact same thing, carp on a fly rod is a blast.

[@chuckthompson4138]

The second pool. The one you were scared of. (Hehehehe) Just playing my friend. I just had a feeling there was a monster right there. Don't quote me. I like to fish. Sometimes I catch them. sometimes I don't. I am from Granite City. I am 58 and would enjoy a day on the water. Lunch is on me...Keep up the good stuff. (I will bring the beer)
