Ulf made this beautiful bamboo rod for Anders and it seems that it works perfectly. Head over to www.bamboorods.se/ if you like to find out more about the rod maker.
There are many anglers who are obsessed with their gear. And many of them end up liking the tools more than the fishing itself. But in this video, I can feel the pride of a person who loves not only fishing but also the river itself and the time spent in nature before that. That's what tools are for, right? Thanks for the great video. From a tenkara guy in Japan.
@@badman5007 I have no intention of ridiculing someone's fishing style. I also know that tools bring more interest and joy to the world. But I arrived at "Tenkara", which was stripped of it as much as possible. That's it. May each other continue to have wonderful fishing days.
50 years ago my first job was to work for a fishing shop. One of the many skills that I was taught was to make cane fly rods. Not from scratch like this video but using cane supplied to the shop I and my colleagues made some beautiful rods. Thanks for the memories. I still use one of those rods along with new carbon rods. Cheers from lockdown and waiting for the season to commence again.
An old Navy tug master used to make the most sought after flies in New England. It was a hobby for him. They were by no means cheap to buy but it took him a long time to make. I can not imagine how much time it took to make that rod but it sure looks special. Thanks for sharing.
One of the best fly fishing videos I've seen. Great depiction of the spirituality one can only feel knee deep in a trout stream. What a beautiful looking rod.
Beautiful video, beautiful craftsmanship, beautiful waters, beautiful trout, and beautiful people. Once again, a video that will be watched over and over again. Well done, and thank you.
I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a used Löfdal rod 15 years ago. It is a Combo rod 7.6' #4 and 8' #6 with two bottom pieces and one top piece, built in 1993. Two years ago I met Ulf in person at a fishing fair here in Sweden and ordered a second top so now I can have two of his rods with me when fishing😊. Usually I use the 8 feet rod for wet flies and small streamers and the shorter one for small dry flies. Needless to say I'm extremely happy with the rods both from a fishing point of view but also for the sheer pleasure of just admiring the craftmanship that goes into each of his rods.
Not interested in bamboo rods,but your film made me watch it and reflect about the proud craftmanship, regarding construction and building of the bamboo rod. By making someone like me that not is interested at all of a subject continue watching and enjoying the whole film has to mean something. Amazing film... superb work of art...
Absolutely Gorgeous film,Amazing Rod Maker, and it is a spiritual moment when playing/praying in the creeks some of us call Church. You captured it enough that I'm feeling inspired. Thank You...
Oh my god! Your films are are works of fine art. They begin to capture the art of fly fishing that is known only to actual fly fishermen. Thank you from Montana!
Agree with sentiment below. Just a beautiful depiction of craftsmanship taken stream side for the catch and release of a stunning brown. So refreshing in today's world of high modulus polymer coupled with hard rock. Thanks!!
I absolutely love this video! As a maker myself it really captures the feelings and thoughts I have while working a strip on the forms or wrapping the guides. Then to take that new bamboo rod out to your favorite still water to see if it will perform the way you envisioned it would... You just get in a "zone" and the rest of the world falls away and time seems to just stop. Thank you for sharing this video.
This was beautiful! Showing the craftsmanship and the work it take. Then showing where the work ended up and how much better it made someones life. 👏👏👏
this video epitomizes fly fishing ,and why it attracts me, soft quiet mornings ,not the ear damaging roar of a bass boat or stink bait of catfishing ,nothing wrong with either one BUT aint my style
I like both styles. Both entertain me. I prefer fly fishing for Bass, Bleugill and Trout, but for bigger species like salmon and Pike and walleye, i prefer spinning tackle.
This is truly one of my favorites. I enjoy the way you gather all the aspects of the art (fly fishing) and craftsmanship (the rod) drawing them together to create a spectacular short film. it is my most played.
Thanks. Good to hear you like the video :) Many river trout are actually quite long and thin like this one, compared to lake living brown trout that feed more on fish. That's my experience anyway. Cheers
I need to know what's up with the thermos and the wooden spoon looking thing, Is that coffee, or is it soup? You just couldn't get by with that on my river. I mean, the fish would talk...
Well it's coffee for sure. We drink a lot of that in Sweden :) And the wooden thing is a cup made up north in Sweden by the sami people. Tastes even better in that kind of thing. Cheers
@@CarpeDiemFlyfishing Well now that you put it that way, I must have one! Seriously, I was joking, and I loved the video. In fact, I love this channel!
Fantastic video. My favourite childhood memories are being 7-10 years old and being up at the crack of Dawn, fishing for trout on a river similar to this one.
One day I hope to take my grandpas 1920's fly rod out and catch a trout. I've given my spinning gear away, too easy boring whatever. I have the newer Redington butter stick to learn on. May be so humbled I lose my knees if I were to catch a trout on grandpa's fly rod. Enjoyed this video a lot
It would seems recommendations has brought us together yet again

Is there really anything wrong with that? Building rods and nerding out over gear are just as much a hobby to me as fishing

I never grow tired of watching videos like this, no matter what their making, when it's with love, passion, and old school craftmanship.....
Thanks Duane. Appreciate it :) Cheers
Master rod-maker and master film-maker. All what I could add is more rod action when he was playing the fish.
Thanks. Really appreciate it :) Cheers
Genius. This is the the soul of the art of fly fishing filmed like a dream in 5 minutes.
What an orchestra in the bushes! I was waiting for him to get that catch! Amazing video!
Thanks Pawel. Appreciate it :) Cheers

That was an out of the ordinary video... Wow ! So evocative... Time stood still there for a moment.
Thanks 63caster. Really appreciate your comment :) Cheers
Another great video. I have been on this river. It was in a different country and was called by a different name but the magic was the same!
Thanks. Good to hear there are more treasures like this out there :) Cheers
Once in awhile you find these kind of videos on TH-cam. This is pure gold. Thanks for the video!
Thanks a lot Jakkawallo. Really appreciate it :) Cheers

Fantastic video. I can watch this video a thousand times.
There is nothing quite like beautiful craftmanship, and what a fantastic fish. Thanks for the video, always appreciated.
Thanks Willy :) Ha de gott
I saltwater fish, but those rods damnnn..... Georgous! Truly a work of art
Thanks Paul. Appreciate it :) Cheers
Wonderful as usual!
You catch details undescribeable to non-fishermen in an elegant way.

Beautiful video . I could watch this again and again .
Thanks Diceman. Feel free to watch it as many times as you like :) Cheers
The pure soul of flyfishing personified. Thanks from down-under in NZ.
Thanks John. Appreciate it :) Cheers from Sweden
My first fly rod was bamboo. That was a long time ago when bamboo was the least expensive rods and the most expensive. Mine was a least.
Those were the days... :) Cheers
This is truly one of my favorites. I enjoy the way you gather all the aspects of the art (fly fishing) and craftsmanship (the rod) drawing them together to create a spectacular short film. it is my most played.
Good to hear James. Thanks :)
Bamboo rods are greatest! Especially with silk lines and leaders. You don't need to think about casting or presentation, you just fishing.
Quite right Alex :) Cheers
Those rods are beautiful well done showing the craftsmanship in the video. Also that brown looked like an eel that was such a long fish!
Thanks. Good to hear you like the video :) Many river trout are actually quite long and thin like this one, compared to lake living brown trout that feed more on fish. That's my experience anyway. Cheers
That does make good sense I don't have much experience with river browns. looking forward to your next upload!
Lovely film, wonderful sport, beautiful fish...
Thanks William. Appreciate it :) Cheers
Hipsters heaven. That coffee ritual blew my mind
Thanks Joe :)
What a wonderful video, couldn't explain why this video made me so calm.. An epic rod-craft determination, so satisfy just by seeing this video :)
Thank you so much Reja. Glad you anjoyed the video :) Cheers
Beautifully patient rod builder and angler....lovely video.
Thanks Ralph. Appreciate it :) Cheers
So relaxing! I really enjoy this:)
Thanks. Appreciate it :) Cheers
Wooden cup ENTHUSIAST. Stunning as always!
Thanks Kevin. Glad you like the video :) The wooden cup is great, just maybe a little bit small. Cheers
I have many bamboo woods fly Rod made in England & 2 house of hardy fly reels I'm Mexican fly fisherman since 1970 fishing trouts & red fish
Доброе видео! Даже в наш век компьютеров и синтетических материалов, самым ценным остается то, что создано природой и руками человека.
правда :)
Carpe Diem ого, ты русский, брат? Отличный контент
@@АлександрБорисов-о3б Google translate ;)
Hope I will own a bamboo rod someday. Even an old one. With our currency in South Africa, it is simply too expensive 😢
Great video! Kind regards from Patagonia Argentina, the paradise of fly fishing in South America.
Thanks. Appreciate it :) Cheers from Sweden
Well this is just beautiful
Thanks. Appreciate it :) Cheers
I wish I had the vocabulary to do this film justice......... Simply beautiful!
Thanks Bill. Very glad to hear you like the video. And I'm quite happy with the vocabulary you came up with :) Cheers

Thanks Keith. Really appreciate it :) Cheers
that thermos and bamboo/bowl/spoon/cup thing was the most hipster event ive ever witnessed.
Good to hear Juan. Cheers
Just thought the same thing, and I live in Portland. Cheers. Tight lines.
Jay Pible Would have been so much more “cool” if he were drinking coffee out of an old battered metal camping cup.
This is so beautiful with the music added it’s even better
Thanks Eli. Appreciate it :) Cheers
Fantastic film
Thanks. Appreciate it :) Cheers
Love watching master craftsmen create something that brings so much excitement and pleasure. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Dario. Really appreciate it :) Cheers
That was the most hipster thing I have seen in a while. Still good though ;)

Fantastic video. My favourite childhood memories are being 7-10 years old and being up at the crack of Dawn, fishing for trout on a river similar to this one.
Nice memory you got there James :) Cheers

I thought it was Karl Childers from sling blade!
This is perfection! Love when the line lifts of the water from the set! Beautiful 😍
Thanks Alexander. Really appreciate it :) Cheers
I don’t wear sweaters when I fish. Is that why I don’t catch fish? Please help thanks.
That's probably the reason. Try it out and see ;) Cheers
Awesome to know this isn’t a lost art!! Gorgeous brown, glad you released it.
Thanks Mike. Appreciate it :) Cheers
Connor mcgregor went fishing..
Still in the top five of my all time favorite videos. An awesome masterpiece that captures every aspect of why we fish :) Magnificent!
Thanks Archer. Really happy to hear you enjoy the video :) Cheers

1:41 Conor McGregor??
Who??
Yea he stopped with mma and presude an carrer in flyfishing:D
Unbelievable. Keep the beauty of this art, amigo!
Thanks Bracy. Appreciate it :) Cheers
Beautiful brown trout! Not sure about wading in everyday clothes though...
Thanks. Well, wet wading is quite common in some places, e.g. New Zealand. Cheers
Here in Canada people will wet wade but in shorts and wading boots. In any case beautiful video, you've got yourself a sub!
Thanks a lot :)
One day I hope to take my grandpas 1920's fly rod out and catch a trout. I've given my spinning gear away, too easy boring whatever. I have the newer Redington butter stick to learn on. May be so humbled I lose my knees if I were to catch a trout on grandpa's fly rod. Enjoyed this video a lot
Thanks :) Good luck with your grandpas rod. Cheers

Nice compliment :) Thanks
How could anyone give that a thumbs down. That was awesome.
Thanks a lot Joe. Appreciate it :) Cheers
