Bad weather is a recipe for mayflies. When a major, late season snow storm was forecast to roll through our region we knew it would bring on good hatches of march brown and blue-winged olive mayflies. Mayflies and bad weather are made for each other! We set out to drift our local river in search of a pocket or two where the emerging mayflies would collect in hopes of finding rising rainbow trout - and find rising rainbow trout we did! This turned into an epic session on the camera as the march browns & blue-winged olives hatched in droves and several rainbow trout came shallow to rise to Amelia's dry flies.

I have been following your videos for a long time, much to my regret I have to tell you that this is not fishing. In other videos there are only fish, super technical long distance fly cast, but you make art, incredible images, wonderful music, without a doubt you describe the essence of fly fishing. thanks for doing a great job. Congratulations
Thanks so much. As artists, I won't kid you, we do really appreciate this kind of acknowledgement:)
The clock on the slow motion is set so perfectly it unlocks an entire different parallel universe on the surface of this water. Absolutely stunning -poetry in motion. Then comes the narration.
Thanks for your compliment:) As artists when timing and movement come together magic just happens and a wonderful sense of satisfaction with it.
Спасибо за прекрасное видео!
You are welcome 😊
I love you guys. Just everything, the art form, the positive attitudes, the analysis, the teaching, the excitement and especially when Mils talks through all the things she’s doing. “Up pause place, head up, surf, in the net you go.” And of course a big Hell yeah when it works! Thank you both!
Hi Angie! Amelia here. Thanks so much for your support and appreciation for how we film and what we share. I guess I tend to coach myself through what I'm doing verbally as it helps me to be the best angler I can be in as many situations as possible. I kind of can't help myself when it comes to what I say in moments so it's a good thing you like it!😉🙂
Also, good music to match the atmosphere, the bugs and those beautiful rising trout. Best video I have ever seen.
That's a wonderful, huge compliment and we truly receive it. This one really turned out in every way we wanted it to. A great feeling. 😊
Simply the highest quality and best fly fishing videos around. The first couple of minutes - WOW!
There are some talented folks out there, just glad to be considered in that realm! It is so fun taking the time to shoot & share these! :) Glad you enjoyed this one
Watching those big trout feeding is amazing.
Pretty neat eh?! Such skinny water and with such reckless abandon😀
The true dynamic duo 🙌🏼
Just doing what we love, but ya, incredibly grateful for each other:)
That first two minutes...Bravo!
There were some amazing eats by those trout and it was incredible to capture it:)
You always made fantastic video only
Thanks! 😊
Cool trip.
It was! By definition, actually. ;)
I really hope y'all are considering a series of documentaries because your videos convey the sense of beauty of the passion we call "fishing" - and this could go a long way toward conserving the waterways we hold so dear. Amazing work.
That's part of where this whole thing is going as well. We want to first really dig in to this vein with hatches and the minutiae and then switch things up as more waters open soon and do expeditions and larger scale videos as well. Of course we can't get to where we want in one season so over the coming 2 to 3 years we should have some neat opportunities! :) Thanks again, glad you enjoy 'em
Wow love to be there
Ya, a really neat day for how it unfolded. Those epic hatches are so mesmerizing when they come off and especially in the dumping snow!
You know you're a bit bonkers when everyone else chooses to stay home. Another great vid guys.
The 30kmh wind on the skin with melting snow on the hands was a bit much but man was that worth it! Those are THE days to take it on, aren't they? :)
Like watching the synchronized eating event at the Trout Olympics!
Didn't know they ran their Winter Olympics in May.
Great job gutting it out and appreciate the missed eats analysis. Keeping it real like no others.
It was pretty gutting not to see a rainbow to hand. But how things were missed is just a cosmic parade of showing what can go wrong beyond what we do on the water. And it was neat that I got enough a piece of each to be able to share those things on video. All told a really fun bit of time on a beautiful afternoon. :)
wonderfull
One of our favorites 😊
As a steelheader I know what bitter cold is. Thanks for hanging in there. Bravo Zulu
You got that right! It's the hands as every steelheader knows. Every time. And casting long leaders and wee dry flies, no choice but to bare hand it. Ugh.
Trout fishing is the best the Colors on a trout are so vibrant and clean probably one of my favourite species to fish for I also do TH-cam but I am just 14 year old kid I do my best but i really enjoy your content 🙂
Great to hear. Glad you enjoy our videos. Hope you have some great days planned this summer! :)
You are really brave to fish in those conditions¡¡ So beautiful the combination of snow+fish rising, fantastic¡¡
One look at the weather forecast that week and we knew what was going to happen - and man, it was special! :)
Brilliant and magnificent!
Thanks! We really dug being able to capture the experience. 😊
Fantastic job! A pleasure to watch.
Wonderful.😊
Also, another great video!
Awesome that you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting.
Wow tough day beautiful fish and video nice work 👍👍🤜🤛
Thanks Jon. While the fish didn't turn in our favor in getting them to net, they did a brilliant favor to us all in showing what they can do - and getting it to share actually makes for a great video out of a gorgeous day :)
Amazing production, just dramatic. Brilliant
Glad that you enjoyed it. A really fun afternoon together :)
29:00 damn, great wife u got there. Love your videos. Really inspiring and educational. Still trying to get a 60cm brownie in Switzerland. We sadly do not have such great fishing waters... Trying for over 2 Years now. Can't wait for that day when this bucket list fish is in the net :D
I think I make a pretty darn good one!😉 I try my best to take on the weather anyway and some days like this one are a bit more of a challenge than others!
It's always great to hear our videos are connecting with folks. Here's to you getting the opportunity to get into a trout of a lifetime in your world. It's no doubt just a matter of time as is so many things in life. Keep pursuing what you love and the results will come.
@@jensenflyfishing Yea, just a matter of time... 🤗
Thanks guys stellar effort, you made a truly miserable Sunday morning,as we are being hit by a possibly historic weather bomb here in Canterbury both entertaining and educational.Especially the close ups of the takes.
2 - 300mm already with 150 to 200 more to come... in Canterbury! Wow. That's an incredible storm for that region. Glad our video gave reprieve from that - assuming your power stays on!
👍👍 Another great one guys!
Thanks! Was a fun day all around 😊
Loved the video, I can understand how hard to navigate the fly rod with freezing hands, felt sorry for your wife. She hung in there like a trooper! Enjoyed the fish caught, very nice brown! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jerome, Amelia here. Great to see you on our channel again and sharing your thoughts. Ya, it was rough in that weather. I wasn't comfortable physically at all, but I knew the artistry of what was happening and was absolutely dedicated and determined to see it through for as long as we did! Short term sacrifice for the bigger picture.
Hope you're enjoying some good time on your waters:)
ugh..... "his wife" has a name.
@@guitarguy726 I was just trying to be respectful Bud, sorry if I offended you!
@@jeromedwojak918 Not to worry any which way everyone. Please. We've been around long enough to appreciate a variety of ways and perspectives. The worst was when we owned a lodge and hosted a couple for a week and the entire week the fellow referred to his wife as "she"... and she was right beside her the entire week. Never once did he mention her name.... so we did :)
@@jensenflyfishing I appreciate the feedback on this, I know your wife's name now lol! I appreciate your style of fishing and the expertise you and Amelia bring into it! I enjoy the approach you take on water, I've learned alot from it! Thankyou for your kindness!
Wow you guys are the real McCoy!
I have to say the videos are getting more and more cinematic. Really nice to watch.
I picked up a screen shot of a March Brown dun really close up. It shows how the dun floats with the abdomen angled up pushed by its the legs. This really comes close how the classic Catskill dries floats on the water. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed this one - it's getting closer to the style & focus we want to focus on, though you can't guarantee a hatch every day you can find a seam that is feeding a trout or two and hone in on that. :) We'll continue to hone in on these and keep adding/improving to the vision :) And we saw the screen grab - it's neat to see only the wee paws on the water, isn't it? It's funny how we all want low riding duns but that might be the last thing we need. The other observation is that if you watch scenes where the mayflies are dancing, those are often the ones getting eaten. Little drag pulls on a dead drift often work well :)
@@jensenflyfishing Yeah sometimes a little twitch might get the fish's attention
As always guys brilliant camera work and analysis but you deserve real respect for your commitment!! As you say no one else is out there in those conditions 👏 👌
Absolutely. AJ stuck to it! Funny how it came down to the last fish rising, a brown, and she got that :) The easy one! ;)
EPIC!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it!
Tremendous video! Had everything. I feel your pain Amelia. Been there more times than I care to admit
My hands were bricks and it was tough seeing some of those drifts for the low light and snowflakes! Ah well. Fun for both of us no matter! 🤣🍻😊
😊
THE BEST CHANEL
Thank you! Please share our channel with your friends, so we can grow our subscribers. We thoroughly appreciate that.
Amazing opening footage. Like a pod of whales feeding!
Exactly! Those heads grab your attention in a heartbeat.
On a lighter note, how about a nice Goretex puffy jacket for Amelia's next birthday? Mine keeps me toasty well below zero and worth every penny.
Funny thing is that her core was fine but once her hands were ice cubes that was all she wrote! Ah well. It was a great experience and we certainly capitalized on the opportunity. Heck, with 3 rainbows and 4 browns and 9 eats we over-achieved! :)
Straight up stream hooks sets are tough... if you can curl the tippet to the right of your main line your percentages will increase.
Bot sure if you saw the whole video with the breakdown of the misses at the end. Cold hands, popping and active 180 turns, driving snow obscuring eats & delaying hooksets all = that aet of results 😊😜
@@jensenflyfishing ya
, probably had nothing to do with what I said, what am I thinking lol 😂
Oh, not to be dismissive! Sorry. We're out in the boonies camping right now and keeping replies short! 🤣
Does your wife have a sister? What a nice couple and a great wife, sir your are blessed! And that doesn't take into consideration the environment where you live...God's country!
Yes, but... :) We love these hatches and this time of year together. Feels alive to have the fingers freeze :)
@@jensenflyfishing Just joking, I'm happily married 49 years...
just another great video, minus 8 in the mackenzie basin NZ this week
Thanks. Yeah, nah, no.... hope that doesn't last too long for you. Looks absolutely miserable on MetService!
@@jensenflyfishing a lot of the streams /rivers in the Canterbury area are experiencing record rain and flows just as the spawning season has started, natures fury
These recent vids of you two this spring are absolutely epic. The slow motion shots of the fish rising and the wildlife. It creates such emotion and an a appreciation for why we do this. Your guys cinematography has come a long way and its so fun to watch. The close ups are amazing. What camera do you shoot on these days? Anyaway, I always look forward to your vids. This spring series has been incredible.
Thank you. That is definitely received. We're starting to turn the corner to our vision on the channel, so the recent comments are welcome, certainly. :) We're still on the GH5, tho it's now over 4 years old so we'll see how long it keeps chugging! Thank you. :)
I watch all your videos and enjoy them very much. My only negative is your views of the flies you use. I wish you could do some macro views so I could see the detail better. On this video they blended into your glove. Thanks.
Hi Tim - thanks for the feedback and constructive critique. Glad you are enjoying what we're producing as we learn and grow. We're 2 or 3 seasons away from where we want to be, the vision as it is. The flies oversight is mine (Dave). I am not a big fly guy as it is and I clearly bias/project that in our videos, to our videos' detriment to be honest. That's something we'll work on a little more this summer - but be prepared to see the same damned patterns time & again! :) I carry 4K flies but maybe 20 patterns (repetitions and various sizes). :)
Great stuff! Love the rising footage. I was curious what telephoto lens do you reach for most of the time for these sorts of shots? Are you using the 75-300 with a metabones adapter?
Pretty much all that. Add in a little ex zoom onboard the micro 4/3 crop and you're looking at about 700mm lens 😊
🤤🤤🤤
😊👍
Hi Dave and Amelia- why no gloves while you were filming and fishing?
14' leader, fine tipper, small flies. Be accurate and gentle or spook the fish with an errant cast. On camera it's all manual - stuff a setting or be slightly off on focus and zero chance of getting the shot. With tight aperture even 5% out and the shot is stuffed. Just a perfectionist detail 🍻
Awesome video. What’s the song for the 8 missed fish part?
Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry, we can't name that one off the top of our heads as we have such a collection of songs that we use and so many files we have to sort and store that we can't easily reference it.
What cameras are you using? Your videos are always so good, it makes me want to start filming also.
Just a go pro 9 and gh5 with lenses as listed in the write up
@@jensenflyfishing I should have actually looked. Sorry for being “that guy”.
So do you two just deal with wet feet or do you have waterproof socks or something?
we're wearing waders in this video!
