So, I have a new camera, and I've been teaching myself how to edit video. The biggest thing I've learned so far is that I need to get a tripod. Anyway, this is how I spent yesterday afternoon.
I like the underwater shot of the feeding grayling. Looks like there is a ton of drift for them to choose from. Did you have any luck nymphing, or get them on dries?
Thinking of making a Stauffer trip on Thursday, when my contract is up.
D - It was surprising how much was drifting downstream, it wasn't at all apparent from above the surface. The grayling were hammering beadheads earlier in the week, and I imagine I'd have caught a lot on them on Sunday, too, but I was in a dry kind of mood. I actually clipped my hook off at the bend after catching a couple, and enjoyed watching them hit and drop my caddis. Also - contract up? Fuckers.
M - that's Lubbock Creek, about an hour south of town, near the BC border. It's hit pretty hard in the spring, but the anglers don't tend to travel far. I was ~1km downstream from the access, and there were pools with pretty close to a hundred grayling in them. I'd figured a tripod would help with steadier shots (I'm a rather palsied platform for shooting video from), but yes, I suppose self-filming would become a lot easier with one.
I wish I'd taken more video (and had more to choose from while editing - the underwater shots were hard to aim), but I ran out of both memory and batteries.
Nice fish O.

That's awesome Oliver. Which creek is that?
ReplyDeleteDo you need a tripod, so that we can witness your mad fly fishing skills? ;)
